@senzory because that's not how it works

There was that guy that threw out his PC and forgot about his wallet on it.
He frantically tried to search the landfill for his missing coins.
When news of his loss hit the headlines, the price skyrocketed owing to the reduced supply.
It’s a nice part of the currency, and it’s how currency is supposed to work. -
@senzory there is no “account” a wallet is basically just a nice name for a public / private key pair that is used to perform the encrypted operations necessary for interacting with the blockchain.
Lose the private key. Lose access to your funds, as you’ve lost the ability to prove identity and to issue transactions on the network. -
@senzory haha you should probably re-read to follow script. I believe no one had asked for recommendations. Someone was just letting us know how they lost access to their bitcoin. Don't let this be about what you know.

@Haxk20 even back then it was worth around a few thousand dollars for 10btc ... to think you misplaced that much is pure bullshit.
Brush your teeth and go back to sleep my friend . Not a hater but free money isn't worth this bs -
@Haxk20 you still have the harddrive? There ARE things you can do to recover it... And promising a percentage of the btc to the recoverer, a few people with the right tools would do it..
