Did I mine LTC in 2013?

[maeklund]

Hi

I just found an old installation of Litecoin-QT from early 2013. There are quite a few of 'CreateNewBlock(): total size 26497 Running BitcoinMiner with 18 transactions in block' in the log file.

Does this mean I did mining?

I have imported the wallet but balance is 0 and I can't even see any receive addresses. The import might have failed I guess.

Thanks

Magnus

It does mean you ran a miner, might even have been the cpu miner that was included in the QT wallet... However, it does not mean you actually solved a block.

Do you find any lines containing  the string "AddToWallet " in your debug.log? An other string to search for is "proof-of-work found"...

Thank you very much for your reply. No AddToWallet or proof-of-work-found

In that case, you probably did mine, but you probably didn't solve any blocks, so (unless you bought or traded LTC) your wallet probably wasn't funded.
That being said, it doesn't hurt to hold on to a couple of copy's of your wallet.dat... If you can open said wallet, you can always try to get a list of addresses and verify if they are unfunded using a blockchain explorer. Don't get your hopes up tough...
