I was laying in bed last night and remembered... "oh crap, I had a miner running on my PC back in 2013, wonder if there are any coins stashed on my computer"
Did a quick search of my archive hard drive and came across a word file named 'bitcoin' that contains a phrase, 34 characters long, starts with '15eax'
I have been searching the internet and these forums to dry and decipher what this code is, and how to import it. Forgive my lack of knowledge in this field, I have a 5yo and have not been on my computer in far too long, the industry has surpassed my current knowledge level. Thanks for any info.
Even if you formatted the drive 10 times, its possible to recover data. You just need to hire a pro.
If you mined in the early days and were lucky to get a block, then you probably have 50 or 25 BTC in the wallet.dat file.
If you know you still have the drive, then stop using it and get a service to recover it for you
