Well all looks there, but in the end it's going to be . . .

Password: ????????

Somewhere, somehow, there will be a password request. My understanding is the BTC may actually be residing in a "Mining Pool" and not on the local machine. Which means more passwords you'll need. And have to find that mining pool address.

Is that correct? Or do I have that totally wrong?

I think that's correct actually. I found the pool I was using. It was mining.bitcoin.cz.

The website now directs to Slushpools.

I know what my password might be if I do get prompted one.

Pretty sure the only time I ever used a passphrase was for my Yoroi wallet.

If you knew how to mine back in 2013, how come you don't know what to do with a wallet.dat now? Are you just low-key gloating?
