I mined 100BTC on my CPU in like the summer of 2010 solo mining. I attempted to do GPU mining but the tooling was very specific at the time and I wasn't really that interested. I didn't even fully understand BTC at the time past "Digital Currency", "Proof of work", "Run minner = get BTC". I want to say the block size was 50 at the time so mining 2 block all on mine own on a CPU was pretty impressive IMHO.
- iamatworknow 9y agoThat's basically the state I was at as well. My exact thought was something like, "A currency that you make by running a program like 'Folding@Home'? Might as well try." Even if I didn't actually mine a ton, it still would be neat to find it. I know it's gotta be there somewhere.
- joshstrange 9y agoI know mine is long gone, my old gaming rig was what I mined it all on and I've rebuilt that machine with different OS's a million times over since I mined it and rarely backed up anything but maybe some media. Everything I cared about was on my laptop.
