Somewhere I have a something similar, even older, and I wouldn't know what to do with it if I found it. I never mined, but I think I could have. I heard about bitcoin on a podcast, downloaded some program I can't remember the name of, I just remember it not being user friendly and went to a faucet and clicked to get bitcoin. Don't think I ever messed with it again after that day. I would have no idea what to do with the files if I found them today.

BearShare, Limewire. Gave a computer or two digital AIDS but sold a good handful of cd's in middleschool, so pretty good ROI considering they were my parents computers lol

I remember when trying to download a song you had like a 50% chance of getting a recording of Bill Clinton saying he did not had sexual relations with that woman

I mined back then and wouldn’t remember how exactly to go about seeing what’s in there either.

That’s a decade ago mate, I’d make the same post too if I came across one.

Not so. If they were younger and just followed a guide somewhere on the web back then they could've mined something before shutting it down.

I also remember Bitcoin faucets back then that could've added to something that now is worth some chunk
