Former Bitcoin hobby miner GPUs detect wallets on a USB drive
A post on the Bitcointalk forum on March 10 by a self-proclaimed newcomer who has returned to the cryptocurrency sector after a long time, asking for instructions on accessing the wallet with a significant digital amount of Bitcoin.
The user, referred by the name “whoamisoon”, professed to have mined a considerable quantity of Bitcoin years before, by employing a GPU. The forum poster had recently identified the wallet.dat file on a USB gadget.
The former miner has asked for suggestions on how to transfer Bitcoin for sale. Moreover, he wondered if the same amount of Bitcoin Cash was kept in the wallet and how to liquidate BCH.
Users are delighted to hear from other posters that a large pile of coins can also be accessed.
Users express their happiness by saying:
“Didn’t know there have been so many forks! Awesome! Love it!”
On the same day, cryptocurrency followers were able to track the movement of 1,000 BTC mined on August 24, 2010, leading to speculation that these coins were owned by whoamisoon.
The coins seem to have been transferred to Coinbase. Three days ago, the user revisited the forum and thanked the members for giving appropriate advice to gain control of the Bitcoin pile.
“Thank you all for all your suggestions. It was overall a great return and the best welcome one can get! Keep it up; I can see it helping others that are in my shoes as well.”
The forum post also indicated that whoamisoon may have diluted the holdings before March 13, implying that the average selling price could have been between $7,500 and $8,000, translation to $7.50 million to $8million for the 1,000 Bitcoins held.
Notably, the value of altcoins (BCH and BSV) given during different forgings can yield a profit of $ 500,000.
