I purchased bitcoin between August 2009 - June 2010. I've learned probably the later with posts below. I remember thinking that I was hosed because I only ended up with a data file with gibberish on it. I now understand that this was probably the wallet.dat file. I'm carefully searching old hard drives. Does anyone know what site(s) I would have purchased them from and what file names I should be looking for? Thanks
Are you using programs like Recuva to restore deleted files?
