very old XMR wallet - have bin and keys, but can't seem to g[...]
Hello XMR community...
I've got an issue...
A very long time ago... I'd say it was very near when XMR was released... I mined the coin... I created a wallet for this purpose...
I don't remember ever putting a password on the wallet, and I'm fairly certain that I did not.
I then decided that I would keep some coin in that wallet and stash it away for a while...
Now, it is 'a while' and I would like to get the coins... but I'm having issues...
Every time I try to load the wallet on the newer versions of the wallet, it asks for a password, and I'm pretty sure that I didn't create a password when I started the wallet...
I tried every possible password I could think of (including 'blank' or no password and just pushing enter on that section,) which lead me to believe that I didn't create a password on this wallet as I originally thought...
Is there some way that I can restore the wallet? I don't think the seeds were being done back then, and I don't have a password on the wallet, I'm pretty sure about that as well... and yes, I know it was stupid not to put one, but back when I was first getting into crypto I didn't do a lot of things "right."
So this leads me back to the question...
How can I restore this very old wallet.bin and wallet.bin.keys file so that I can have access once again to the coins there?
Thank you all for any help!
