I don't know how to insert an image...but i downloaded Doge coin wallet, replaced the .dat file...I can see the past transactions. But this thing has been syc'ing with the network for at least a day and it's stuck on 4 years 3 weeks. LoL, I guess that's when I used to mine.

I've accepted the fact that it's lost....no harm in seeing if I can recover anything though. Does this mean it might be recoverable??

Also, I have separate folders for the Doge/Vert coin so I know which .dat file is which (thankfully)...also I can see the Doge coin transactions. So I think I have a little luck on my side
