you mined, but never installed core?

I was an early coinbase user when they first started and had blockchain.info as a wallet on my phone. It was a strange time to be alive.

Core was installed on the machine I got a few months after discovering BTC. I also kept this one mining on CPU and Antminer U1s to not bog down my new work laptop, but they let us keep the old ones.

I also used cryptsy and MTGox back then to covert merge mined tokens and primecoin that I mined on a server rack in the garage.

Ironically, it has primecoin wallet installed on it.

wild times! I wish I had known about bitcoin back then

Yes and no, many people think it is a blessing, but can also be a curse. It is easy to think that everything would work out and you have a huge stack, but I mined over 150 in my garage and due to life events and poor decisions, I am not even a whole coiner.

I am still stacking, but the path from there to here is a difficult one.
