Bitcoin 0.1.0 is unable to connect to the Bitcoin network because various network protocol changes and peer discovery changes have made that impossible. So you are not actually connected to the Bitcoin network and do not have the full blockchain synced. The coins that you have mined are effectively a fork of Bitcoin's and are completely worthless. They will not appear in an actual Bitcoin wallet or on a block explorer because the blocks and transactions do not exist on Bitcoin.

Hi Bitcoin Experts,
I was playing with bitcoin core v0.1.0 (really first version released back in 2009 or 2010).
I kept the software running for one week (mining) and when I looked back, I saw 600BTC generated.
I have sent those BTC to couple blockchain addresses, but never worked of course.
I know that newer versions of bitcoin core does not allow mining anymore.
The balance on my bitcoin core v0.1 show 50BTC and couple sent transactions...

Now, when I imported the wallet into bitcoin core 0.15, the balance says 0, but i can see the same history on transactions.
The transactions say: "0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool".

Any expert explains to me what I was exactly doing and what did I generated exactly?? How did the very first versions of bitcoin core synced to blockchain?
Big thank you!
