Brother died - looking for BTC

Hi,

My brother died last year, and I knew him to be a bitcoin miner. Recently I have put myself through a crash course in mining, and even became a miner myself.

In searching, I found a 20 word mnemonic that led me to ~$250 in BTC & $40 BCH at blockchain.info

I've looked for, but haven't found any wallet.dat files, wallet.*, login.*, coin, blockchain, and a few others I can't remember now. I haven't found a hardware wallet.

I'm waiting for coinbase customer service to help me get into the account that I know he had there (unknown if there's anything in it).

I know he started mining in October of `13 through mid/late `14. He was probably inactive between then and his death in October of `16.

Can anyone suggest other places on the web to search, any other search terms for his computer, names of software wallets he may have used?

Any help would be appreciated

Re: Antminer S9 running 2/3

I was hoping that could be worked out. The FAQ says the whole S9 needs to be returned, but it doesn't make sense to do so (to me).

Running on the 2 boards, I'm getting 9.2GH

I'm jumping in with both feet. I have another S9 coming Dec 27-Jan2, Three L3+ this week, and I'm waiting on half the parts to build three ( 8 ) GTX 1070 rigs.

Thanks again for the advice.

Thank you. I have already contacted Bitmain (no reply). I was hoping there was something I was overlooking.

Hi,

This is a brand new Antiminer S9 (my first attempt at mining). Can someone help me figure out why it is only running 2/3?
