BTCBTC Sad....i found an old hdd, me and a friend both used it. i used it for film production, he mined with it. but when the priced dropped he gave up.... many times he has contacted me to look for it, i found it on 25th july this year. i found the walllet and it got knocked on the floor.  can i get access to the wallet with my ip address from the bitcoin miners...... i contacted him to say i found it and he showed no interest.

could me reactivating the drive have got him acccess to the drive, because what he may have we agreed to split....  he mined on the tower, i dont know much, but could the miners have got what he wanted when i hooked the drive up again briefly, ive like and idiot opened it and tried to fix it...... i cant use a data recovery service, because the password would be on there..... dan was his name, i dont want to say more of his details.

but it was my pc..... i can remember us playing bitcoin casino when the were worth nothing with dan ........  i keep trying to fix it,  but reconnecting it to the internet could it prove to miners that we mined on it?  and maybe recover, i say we as bitcoins in the year before that were worth nothing and maybe an obscene amount, including other sorts of crypto, worth nothing back then..
