I found my old wallet from 2011 - wrong address showing up

[Quabbe]

Hey guys,

today I found my old bitcoin wallet from 2011 on an old hard disk. It has a bitcoin.exe and some other files. I remember I used it to mine a few bitcoins back in the days.

When I start the exe, it shows an empty wallet. When I search on blockchain.info for the given wallet address, it says no transactions. But I did manage all my transactions with that wallet, so I guess it doesn't show my real address. Is there anything I can do?

Here is a picture of the files:

Thanks in advance,

I'm not familiar with old versions, but I assume it used new addresses each time. If you mined Bitcoins, they'll be in different addresses.
Is there a list of transactions or something?

If you didn't do it yet: backup your wallet.dat !

What was shown (your address) is just one of your wallet's unused address, blockchain.info should also display that there's no record of transaction in that address.

Go to the "receive tab"/"erhalten".
If the previous transactions are in the history, there should be a balance displayed; if there's no balance but there's history of transfers, either you've already moved it to another wallet or it was moved by someone else.

But as the image displays, there's no record of any transaction in the "all transactions" tab, that must be an outdated wallet backup.
Disclaimer: Do not delete it, I could be wrong.

Thanks guys, I also found the wallet.dat in another folder. I'm currently syncing bitcoin core, which might take several more hours. I'm probably going to see my bitcoins again, also I'm pretty sure its less than one.

Assuming you made a few backups already: you may want to upgrade your Bitcoin Core to a more recent version. I don't think the 2011-version is still fully compatible. Enjoy your newly recovered fortune
After securing your Bitcoins, you're going to want to look into Forkcoins.
