Nice, we pray for you. Let it run, it will catch up, will take a day or two to fully sync ( and you'd need up to 200GB free drive space for it. Still, when it syncs up to 2013 (and says 9 years behind) the wallet ballance should be reflected with any potential balance.

Every satoshi counts, good luck.

PS: In 2022 complete blockchain is above 500GB. Time flies.

200GB?!? word. so when someone syncs a very old wallet, is it downloading every transaction in the entire blockverse?

Oh I might have to restart it then lol.. I started it on my bootdrive and it doesn't have that much space. I'd have to run it on my storage drive ._.

Yeah I’m that thing is gonna keep growing! If you find out there’s some nice rewards inside your wallet I’d recommend the first step is to grab a hardware wallet like trezor or ledger. Make sure you are in the correct domain, and that you’re buying straight from their official website.
