As a miner in a pool that shares transaction fees, is anyone else missing the days (not that long ago) of the 14+ BTC block rewards? Although as a user of BTC the low fees are great and probably better for the currency in the long run.

I were the good old days where it really didn't matter where you mined (as long as the pool paid out the transaction fees). Those 18-24 BTC blocks were great!

imagine the first couple years where it was 50BTC mining with CPU / GPU cards. I'll bet those miners wish they would have made a few changes to their investment strategy! And many likely did amazingly well too.

Some of us don't have to imagine those days. Yes, I would make a change to my investment strategy over then...I would not have kept my earnings from those 50BTC blocks in Mt. Gox's wallet. Kiss

Mine on.

I was learning linux on slackware back then. Built and installed bitcoin. Found a block on my cpu after a few days. Thought well, that was cute, and promptly erased it (and the wallet) and installed something else. It wasnt until it hit 9K that i realized what I had done and wished that I still had it.

can you not use software to get the files back? Unless u zeroed the hdd it might be possible
I have used software to get important files off failed hdds
