I wish I had access to my old wallet. I mined around 1.5BTC with my laptop and I deleted the wallet after a while because it was worthless.

you probably would have sold it at $100 or something anyway

I know, that's why I'd like to have the wallet now :)

Even if BTC hits 1 million in the future, 150k now would be life changing.
