RE: The "Old Man and the Gridcoin" - Apologies to Ernest Hemmingway.
I did get myself a bitcoin wallet and this wallet is somewhere on an old drive. Maybe sometime I’ll search through the files on all my old hard drives to see how I got on, but from my faded recollection I don’t think too well!
You MUST look into this! If you mined Bitcoin back in the days of CPU mining even for 1 day (even just 1 mined block) you may have significant funds on said wallet! (If you mined 1 50BTC block that's like $28,000 lol). Don't get your hopes up, but look into it for sure!
Excellent write up, Mercosity. I'm really glad you decided to join the Gridcoin community - you've already joined in the live Gridcoin Hangouts which is awesome! :D
Well I must admit I never realised that an old wallet could be that valuable you've opened my eyes.
I do have an old piece of kit here that I will use to read my old hard drives. It's an old Compaq Desk Pro (in perfect working order) running Windows '98. This will be an adventure back in time for me as I'm sure I'll discover other files that I thought I'd lost.
So I'll keep you posted as I search for the 'needle in a hay stack'!! Wish me luck.
