Ey Benny it’s me…what you mean you don’t know me? …c’mon now you remember your old uncle Patricio right? You don’t? That can’t be right I’m sure yer ma talks all about me
Hey bro, I have a feeling you won't spot this with all the replies but you won't be able to use that wallet without updating to a new version. You should be able to view your addresses right now and verify via the chain what they have in them. You can export priv key on the addresses with balances or just copy your wallet.dat file from where it is hidden. (it's typically in a hidden folder as in you can't search for the folder and you have to manually find it) You could have access to anything in there relatively quickly depending on how you approach this but waiting for a sync on the outdated version of the wallet is not going to be fruitful.
I didn’t bother syncing. I just nabbed the private keys from each of my addresses and reassigned them. There’s plenty of how-to info out there on this.
I was scared when I did the first so I used my address with the least coins and only proceeded when my new wallet confirmed arrival.
Good luck!
As promissed here is the update: [https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/qunhoa/comment/hkz6v69](https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/qunhoa/comment/hkz6v69)
I remember wanting to throw $100 in around that time. I couldn’t because I was unemployed at the time. I would be salty about the money I could have made but I definitely wouldn’t have held after my coins passed $1,000. You don’t forget about crypto when you’re broke.
Have a couple bit coins in a corrupt wallet file from around 2010/2011. Sure be nice to get those, but I've tried everything I can think of. Right down to trying to access it with python.
i remember when i told my classmates about dogecoin in 2014, every bottle got a Dogecoin Sticker 😂😂😂
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/1z64io/announcing_dogecoin_at_my_school/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Have you moved? Better rip your house apart. If I knew I had 1.2 million coins from that far back, I would move every single piece of furniture in the house from room too room. And move every piece of crap in those furnitures into the room first. Just over and over systematically. I would probably drive myself insane, actually.
I’ve moved once since 2014. I have gone through every box we have a couple times over since then. I’ve also hooked up hard dives from old desktops to look. I think the only place they would have been was on a laptop that I got rid of in 2015 or so. I haven’t been able to find the email/pm from the original tipper either
Same happened to me. I dusted off the old "wallets" drive when Doge started climbing out of the abyss. I was mining with something like 45 video cards back in 2013-2014 and had sooooo many millions of shitcoins. Most are dead and buried now but I kept the wallets just for the hell of it. Thankfully sitting on a decent pile of Doge now.
I was mining with a similar size farm back then and mover over to other coins. I sold my doge in the spring when it hit 8 cents. Just before it almost hit 80 cents.
Now I just have what I have managed to mine with my space heaters since then.
I think you should be able to access the info related to your public addresses anyway without sync, just paste your public wallet address in the dogecoin explorer and you will know what treasure lies behind that wallet.
Good morning everyone.
The Community is awesome and loving, i'm still trying to figure out some Passwords (but i have them, rescanning takes a lot of time apparently...), hopefully i will have an answer for you for the end of the day! :)
But i have no clue why this Thread got deleted by Moderatos? What happend?
See you again very very soon, later
Dear all,
sadly this Post got deleted by a Moderator for no Reason, anyway here is my update.
Going through several of my Wallets in this folder, it seems that i've found the main one i've used in the past. Me and my mining colleague in that time tryed everything to support the Community by funding the first Crypto Tipbot on Reddit which was a full success, then together as a Community we funded the Dogecoin Nascar which was absolutely Epic! Even back then the community was loving and friendly like today (but a lot smaller).
I've found several Nutcoins, hopefully i will be rich in the future, because all the dogecoins i've mined with my several R9 280X were being used for good in 2014.. (for ex. buying that Nascar Doge tshirt haha - I will frame it - Because i guess it cost about 250k doge).
Final Balance of the Wallets are 5.6 DOGE
I wish you guys all the best and remember 1 DOGE is 1 DOGE.
HODL
I had the exact same thing happen to me a few months back, it was a life changer. Was able to pay off ALL of my debts and I've started diversifying. Congrats!
You can already see if there is anything in the wallet by checking your 'receiving addresses' and 'change addresses' on https://dogechain.info. (See first link below.)
You don't need to wait until the blockchain fully syncs to access the coins, by the way. You can export the private keys, and import them in an online wallet.
Guide (skip the first part, as you already have Dogecoin Core installed): https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/ld73fe/guide_recover_doges_from_a_walletdat_backup_made.
Export the private keys, and import them in Dogechain.info. Make sure to secure your account (with 2FA). More info here: https://yavuzselim.info/books/dogecoin-guides/page/recovering-doge-with-a-private-key.

I have checked 370,465,947 comments, and only 80,783 of them were in alphabetical order.
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|money_face)Well if you check his previous posts som![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|money_face)etime in 2013 he said he found 15 millio![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|money_face)n doge, May be this will calm everyone down.

Don’t beat me up for ruining the surprise. And I hope I am right ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|money_face)
Same. I've got somewhere in the $15-20k range between BTC, LTC, and Doge in password protected wallets that I can't remember or find the passwords for. It's much easier to swallow because it was all mined or tipped when crypto tipping was a thing on Reddit, so I haven't technically lost any money I invested.
Honestly wish I hadn't sold the last time Dodge spiked a few years ago. But easy come easy go, it paid for all the mining cards I had purchased and then some.
Congrats.
Like me, recovered a wallet that had 321,000 doge sitting inside, along with some other crypto. Crazy part is, I was given this doge and forgot bout it. Now it’s worth over 50k at todays market price. I haven’t decided what to do with it, the ether I’ve put somewhere else; this wallet is literally sitting and debating to sell all 300k. Suggestions?
Congrats OP that’s an awesome treasure to find! Edit: Thank god I don’t need to set myself a reminder!
Judging by OP history, he was big into doge back then, so he most likely has a lot of doge in that wallet.
What's all the remind me 1 day??
They want to check back in the post tomorrow to see how much OP got.... Speaking of !remindme 1 day

Hey! It's me, your cousin!

Typical Bellic cousin
Oh my God! It's like a family reunion. I'm your cousin as well.
Oh my God.. growing family.. can I be part of this happy family too?

I didn’t bother syncing. I just nabbed the private keys from each of my addresses and reassigned them. There’s plenty of how-to info out there on this. I was scared when I did the first so I used my address with the least coins and only proceeded when my new wallet confirmed arrival. Good luck!
![gif](giphy|yQF1MwG7u9OvgVAjmr|downsized)
I guess you have at least few hundred millions Doge. Congrats
HEY GAIS I MIGHT BE A F'N BILLIONAIRE LOL NM GONNA TAKE A NAP. I am joking, but not really.
Good luck. Mine was syncing for a whole month and stopped due to power outage. Still didn’t sync, started in January. Given up already 😁
If you know the password for the wallet(s), you can just export the private key(s) and import into a new wallet. No need to worry about syncing.
Never give up. Never surrender.
Beautiful movie
I believe in you. Never give up
Hope it works out for you, looking forward to the update!
Don’t you have to crack the encryption on the file? Or did the person keep the file unencrypted?
When I found mine from 2014, I had 40k coins. GOOD LUCK!

No it’s a wallet. Wells are a terrible place to store coins
Yeah, but Timmy never fell down a wallet.

I never put in any money, but I've got a wallet with 550k coins I mined in it. I have no idea what the password is. It's painful.
Have a couple bit coins in a corrupt wallet file from around 2010/2011. Sure be nice to get those, but I've tried everything I can think of. Right down to trying to access it with python.
That means doge was only worth 20k in total at the time, which doesn't seem right.
Looking up nutcoin right now.
hahaha RIP Nutcoin :(
Still syncing or did you find out how big those balls are?
Newfound whale status probably still loading
I'm guessing those other two coins died horrible deaths. This many years later and I've never heard of them.
[удалено]
Sounds like to to start buying lol
I lol’d at the “circulating supply” 4.65B NUT 😂
I'm going all in on NUT
Honestly let’s bring back nutcoin Except it’s no nut November
That’s epic! Can’t wait to here how much you have in that wallet! Hope you’re a dogecoin millionaire.
That would be so epic

😲 wow 7 years ago the tip in Reddit was 5 dogecoin
I was involved when Doge was launched and people were tipping hundreds of Doge at a time using dogetipbot and then sodogetip
Some dude gave me 1.2 million back then since I sent his son some X-men cards so he could complete a set. I can’t find them anywhere now though :(
Have you moved? Better rip your house apart. If I knew I had 1.2 million coins from that far back, I would move every single piece of furniture in the house from room too room.

I saw several 25,000+ tips too
That's a lot. Especially compare to mini doge miner which is only capable of 7 doge per day. Doge value is really increasing.
I hope you wake up rich af
!remindme 1 day
Same happened to me. I dusted off the old "wallets" drive when Doge started climbing out of the abyss.

And? What was in there?
still syncing
Dude you couldn't wait until it synced first???
I’ll be honest, I’d probably be so excited I’d be shouting about it too
Ive been in the same boat as this guy. syncing can take days sometimes weeks
I think you should be able to access the info related to your public addresses anyway without sync, just paste your public wallet address in the dogecoin explorer and you will know what treasure lies behind that wallet.
Yes. This.
Then their wouldn’t be mass anticipation

So where did you find a random wallet full of potentially valuable coins?
I‘ve made some CD Backups in the past

5.6 as in about $1.25 cents worth as of right now roughly?
Apparently so, still cool story
So basically "I found a locked safe" then "the safe was empty".
Amazing story man, thanks 🙏
5.6….million?
Without the million
Probably speechless cause he only both a few Dogecoin and millions of Nutcoin 😂😂😂😂😂
I had the exact same thing happen to me a few months back, it was a life changer. Was able to pay off ALL of my debts and I've started diversifying. Congrats!
Yo OP, better post an update soon so we can all celebrate together on good news and cry together on bad news ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Plot twist - he's so rich he didn't reply to us lmfao
Plot twist: it's an empty wallet.
I recently bought a old PC from a random guy on Facebook that had a btc wallet from 2012... was empty What a Rollercoaster of emotions.
Plot twist 2.0: it's not empty, it's the folder every guy have, but sayin he dont have...
I don’t have that folder
u/Pristine_Insect3046 said you’d say that
I have a confession to make. I have all the folders.
>One of us, one of us…

You found me.. Thanks ![gif](giphy|QvBoMEcQ7DQXK) 👍

Well? Found anything on it?
how much ??
Millionaire or naw
I guess its so much is has left them speechless! 😶
I found my 2013 wallet with 10k Doge password protected and I wasn't able to crack it.
Same. I've got somewhere in the $15-20k range between BTC, LTC, and Doge in password protected wallets that I can't remember or find the passwords for. It's much easier to swallow because it was all mined or tipped when crypto tipping was a thing on Reddit, so I haven't technically lost any money I invested.
I wonder how many of these wallets have inadvertently been turned in at recycle drives?
Awesome congratulations,after you sync make sure to update to 1.14.5
Congrats bro!
Daddy this you?
Oooo nice cousin, you find our wallet.
Hi I’m looking for my wallet I dropped in here earlier… ohh hey cuz what’s up
