I have a wallet.dat file that states:

  • Best block at time of backup was 42603 (0000000013136bd812212959a15ef0ea0f084ee2c64e2f7f0e127d198f67a37f), mined on 2010-02-26T00:36:08Z

Does that mean that one of my address mined on that block? Or is it just referenced with no correlation to my private keys with unspent coins?

Its the time the wallet was last synchronized to, it won't know about any transaction changes in or out past this time until it has been loaded again by a synchronized node. It has nothing to do with your transactions specifically.

    You can’t really. It’s a berkeleydb database without a lot of human readable structure, it’s only meant to be read by machine.

  • But the original poster hinted he could see the contents: "I have a wallet.dat file that states..."

  • So even if I add these private keys to another wallet, the balance wont show because i never did full node with bitcoin core? Because I've checked over 1000 addresses so far and 0.00 :( I believe that this wallet.dat came from my Guiminer I had on my computer I downloaded in 2011.
