It was mined with MS DOS, there was nothing to install at that time, just run commands and mine..
Was that even a thing? I always thought you needed the Bitcoin software installed (it was called Bitcoin-Qt at the time) to be able to solo mine on a PC.
Yes, you downloaded the files/zip folder with the programthen with cmd prompt you had to use commands to set it all up and mine.. it was all done in MS DOS
You would see on msdos: "Mining ..." then the bitcoin count that youve found further down or next to it.
In 30 minutes you could mine like 8 bitcoin with just a pny gtx9800
I was trying to make $100 a day at that time, bitcoin was 0.25 - 0.30 so that would be about $100 a day if I mined 24 hours but I couldnt play league of legends at the same time, it would stutter so I stopped mining.
Bitcoin trade was all done on the forums and paypal, the pizza guy times.
That's impossible you can't mine 12 BTC year 2010 because the reward you can get when mining with PC before per block is 50 so how its impossible that you can mine 12 BTC on that time?
Even the image you provided is not related to any crypto stuff so how can we identify which one is your Bitcoin wallet?
I can't find any files from that image it seems a related driver stuff or it's a virus.

Think I was using a pool, number of bitcoin would go 1... 2... 3... etc every few minutes and have "mining ..."
I cant post a screenshot with 3k files, thats just an example how all the files are showing.
What should I be looking for? Dont even know what kind of file was the wallet at that time.
I know that now its wallet.dat and its in app folder but back then there was no instalation.. it was just a folder with files and you run everything through cmd.
If only I could remember the pool I was using.. you would look on a list of pools and pick one to set it up.
Wish someone knew how to identify the wallet.
This thread is actually a lot like my situation: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mining-pools-in-2010-2011-5422772
