Well I fucked myself.
I was running a software program that cleans up your computer and I accidentally deleted the file that had my information to access my Bitcoin info in there, and it’s non-recoverable.
I didn’t have much, maybe $30-$40 worth at the beginning of this summer. I never checked it since maybe June. Wonder how much it would be worth today?
Actually should be close to 400 that’s a nice weekend in Detroit;(
There are undelete programs for most OSs that are pretty good. Main thing is not to mess that drive too much before you run then.
But for the amount of money you are talking, the cost of the software is a good % of what you would recover. Might not even be worth sweating.
200 max
If you were juice that would get you through winter
^^^^ lol but I’m me and $200 won’t even cover my cable bill for the month!
Well that’s good, I was gonna feel pretty bad if someone said $2,000.
I use bitcoin to pay for file server hosts so about a year ago it was down to $14, then around June around $40.
Unless I'm wrong, I thought that the data was replicated among many computers as sort of a peer-to-peer check and balance system that prevents people from hacking the software and giving themselves more than what they really have. Wouldn't that secure your balance in the event of a computer failure? Or as a bitcoin user, are you responsible for your own backups?
You're responsible for your own backups. The public part of the blockchain is on thousands or millions of computers now, but your private keys are only wherever you put them.
I got in when they were less than $100 and got out with a $500 profit. I think I'd be a millionaire if I stuck it out longer.
I assume you mean you had your 24 word code in there. Bad idea, you should have that tatto'ed on the back of your testicles.
Oh...as a matter of perspective a gent trashed his hard drive some time ago with his private keys on it. The bitcoin on that is worth over $100M and is buried in the local landfill. If you want to become a different kind of bitcoin miner and dig that out of the landfill undoubtably there would be a substantial reward.
I wrote all my passwords on a piece of paper and took a picture of it; it's in my phone and password protected in case I loose it.
Uprightcitizen has a great idea !!! Tattooing on your testicles. LMAO
100 maybe
