Loss of asset through account lockouts have been a very pressing issue within this industry since time immemorial. An estimated 23% of the whole 21 million supply of bitcoins have been lost over time, which by today's price would be around $100 billion. And we can't forget about that software engineer who is down to the last 2 attempts to his IronKey before it totally shuts itself off, so no wonder there's a market for this type of issues.
Just about today I stumbled upon an article that talks about Crypto Recovery, pioneered by a father and son duo, who are both adept at tech (obviously). Apparently, they offer services to help recover passwords to your bitcoin wallets should you ever come to need one. In any case, no user testimonials have been given out, so the credibility of this service is still in question, at least for me.
So what do you guys think, will a feature like this be possible? At least before quantum computers become ubiquitous? What are your thoughts about this?
