[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 779097, member: 2426"] I set up the Bitcoin miner in 2011 because I listened to a podcast that discussed the crypto involved. They guy on the podcast set up an old server with the miner one evening before the podcast(you could still use a PC back then), and he had 50 Bitcoin the next morning. The total was worth much less than a penny at that point. When it first hit $10,000 he started looking for the wallet. Apparently, he destroyed the hard drive when he shut down that server. Worse than forgetting the password, he doesn't even have the wallet to try to brute force the password. I am certain that I only ran the miner for a couple of days. However, last year I did a pretty extensive search on my computers, external hard drives, flash drives, etc. to make sure that I didn't leave it running while I wasn't paying attention and have a wallet with coins in it laying around somewhere.
