Looks pretty suspicious or a joke. Having a hard drive with 400 million dollars, instead of finding the best masters in reality, he goes to the forum to ask... Are you the author? gkelly 15Z5YJaaNSxeynvr6uW6jQZLwq3n1Hu6RX https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=24346.0 Make a complete copy of the hard disk (image) and upload it here and we'll see what you can do  Grin

Good find.

gkelly, Bitcoin Forum user #131. 7 posts so there's not much to glean, other than he most likely would know about the appdata folder.
Such fucking good'ol days of honest, naive people when BTC wasn't worth much. It seems it used to attract the smartest people. I was just looking at gkelly's small post history and on one of the threads, it is amusing to look at the comments. Sample this from an OG Newbie account called @Goldstein:

would it be unethical for me to farm a whole cluster of old Pentium3s/Pentium4s and generate Bitcoins that way?
He is actually wondering if it'd be unethical if he hoarded mining capacity..

Here's a fellow named greyhawk, just casually dropping an awesome limerick inspired by American Pie

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that mining used to make me smile
And, I knew if I had my chance that I could make those bankers dance, and...
Maybe I'd be happy for a while
But piratefourty made me shiver, with every block that I'd deliver
Bad news on the forum - I couldn't keep decorum
I can't remember if I cried when I read about the ASIC tide
Something touched me deep inside the day the CPU died

Bye bye, my little share of the pie
drove my tools to the pools but the pools went dry
them good old boys are scamming victims and lie, singing
This'll be the day that I'm high
This'll be the day that I'm high


LMAO @ "Bye bye, my little share of pie"..He is lamenting about losing the mining race to ASICs and mining essentially becoming centralized. Haha..Such bloody talent.Thanks for the link @nutildah. Slide to a pretty little wonderland.
