It was probably the old school magnetic plates one. Seriously doubt data on it survived.

Man who accidentally threw out a bitcoin fortune offers $70 million for permission to dig it up

Stories like this (and losing passwords etc) are probably the biggest reason that bitcoin is unlikely to ever gain widespread use. Being able to accidentally destroy all your money is not an especially good feature of something being used by the general public.

Whenever I toss a hard drive I first give it several good whacks with a sledge hammer. I'd be SOL if I were him. :laughing

Somebody who wouldn't back up such a potentially valuable data is a moron.

Hard Drives Fail. I've had 3 fail over the years. Yeah, heavy use, but they do fail.

Everything of high value to me is stored on at least 3 data drives.

Yeah, but humans fail and engineering a monetary system for the general population needs to be a bit more robust. Punishing the user for not being perfect is a failure of interface design.

didnt want people thinking barfers stopped trading crypto just because no one's posting here (since we're a bunch of fairweather crypto traders).

sold a chunk of my dogecoin. bought 500$ worth years ago as a joke and at it's peak it was nearly 80 grand. i lost half on a drive somewhere.

also, eth hit an ATH today.

I traded early on. Stopped that and took a hiatus from Barf and started stacking every day regardless of price. Few screen shots. No fair weather trader here.

how come you don't have any from dec 2020 or currently? lol

Why lol? I didn't post every buy. This page would be too long and I don't owe anyone anything. But just for you, here you go.

 

[dagle]

wow you're actually buying on the way up that's a novel way to DCA lol... :rofl

 

[panthera]

Up or down I buy. I don't care about price. All in all I'm up 2000%

 

[dagle]

that's weird, that would mean your average is 1600-1800$ which was the price may 2017 (and you'd have to go further than that to offset the DCA to present day).

 

[panthera]

Yep. Plus I mine and earn. Run a full node. Send a pm if you run one and we can establish a channel. I can have incoming 2 million sats and out going 15 million.

 

[rodr]

By the way, the wife thinks we have 2 bitcoin on a computer in the garage attic. I should probably look into that...

:rofl

I promise to admit it if they're in there and we cant open it!:laughing

So, any luck? :teeth

call me a skeptic, but i dont believe you lol... but you have nothing to gain in proving it to me. i just have a hard time believing someone from a pre 2017 bull cycle is committed to 10$ buys.

Seem fitting.
Good luck in life. Im way deeper than I let those here know. For my own opsec I think i should give barf another break.

 

[dagle]

right, you don't owe me anything. that's fine. however, the key takeaway from that quote was that satoshi proved his point with the genesis block lol

 

[dagle]

elon musk might be my favorite techie billionaire. tweeted about dogecoin on the night before the coordinated pump and dump scheduled... so all of my anti-PnD orders were lined up already (since scheduled pump and dumps usually happen hours before scheduled). he knocked loose my entire ladder of orders up to 6 cents per doge... and now they're in the 4's again so i can buy them back for 15-25% less... hahaha dude did me a solid :rofl
