did you lose the private key? if it is lost or has been stolen then it is total and 100% of your bitcoin cannot be returned, unless you save it in exchange and you lose the private key then you can request a private key in exchange

Everything that has a disadvantage also has an advantage. Using an exchange to store your coins, a lot of people will tell you that is a bad idea. But it is more easier to recover your coins if it's stores on an exchange than when it is stored in another kind of wallet. Buh… whatever, the main important thing is that everyone should be very careful when making use of this cryptocurrency.

No one has time for such and by the way there is no way for you recover any coin that is already lost. It's only the owners that. An get to it and that'd if they, themselves, has the key to it. If they don't have access to it then no other Person an have access to it too. If we all can have easy access to coins like that then where's the safety in this then?? That means you will also have easy access to the ones that are not lost too

no, in fact from some cases the exchanger who loses theft, cannot recover the lost bitcoin stolen.

true and that is one of the weaknesses of crypto currency because there is no legal force or institution that protects what we have in crypto currencies

Why crypto need protection? It can stand itself because that is decentralized. Loses bitcoin is the fault on the holder because of he/she dumb and lazy not to keep the private key which is very important. Lost bitcoin is probably useful to those miners, as far as in know, overall stock amount of bitcoin is 21 million and the lost is 4 million.

If we were going to put our crypto on any exchanges be wiser enough to think that our crypto is not safe anymore if you let the other person handle your crypto. That why it is better we do it on ourselves instead of handling it to the other because you can't blame if your funds are gone due to trusting them.

right, by holding it alone it will be safer, at least if something bad happens, it means it's a personal mistake, not because of another party's fault such as placing him in a hunt. therefore you must always concentrate when accessing

I think it is completely impossible to get back information on lost bitcoin. This is almost impossible.

I have read stories of people who have died with more than million dollars in their wallet and families find it so difficult to get it out. The last story of a man with more than 10million dollars in his wallet and he died without telling any of his family members his key. So I seriously think it’s impossible to do this.

until now there is still no technology that can track lost bitcoin. but I believe that someday there must be a way to track lost bitcoin. because technology is very fast moving forward, especially the trading system that cannot be dammed up.

I don't think that this is possible to happen and collect all these data. There will be a huge variation in the results of your report.
Having said that, your report will not be trustworthy and give data that will assist users in taking any decisions on the network.

theft occurs because of our own mistakes usually and cannot be returned because they do not have legal ties to anyone and whatever and the responsibility is entirely with the investor itself

it is one of the weaknesses and shortcomings of investment by using crypto money if we lose what we have we cannot do anything because we do not have the power of law

I don't think that, in fact Finding information on lost bitcoin is not an easy task. Actually I can take it almost impossible to do, Bitcoin of many people lost without any kind of responsiveness. So it's kind of an impossible practical step to put in the truck.

that's one of the disadvantages of investing with our crypto currencies as investors must be more careful about what we have in crypto currencies and no one is responsible than ourselves

How do you know the amount of bitcoin that is lost? Is there a place to know that? Everyone really hates a loss or even loses something very valuable like bitcoin. We can't blame anyone for losing bitcoin as a pure mistake from the holder.

hi,

i am just collecting info about lost bitcoins.

i want addresses with lost private keys / no private keys / or any other addresses with unavailable bitcoins

is anybody can point me if such data set is already exist or just post such addresses here.

thank you

We cannot collect such data because we never know that the owners of the bitcoin present in wallets. If we see a address where no transaction is made for a long time, it does not mean that those bitcoin are not useable. It maybe the case that the owner of the wallet does not want to sell the bitcoins and want to keep it for very long time. So in reality there is no possibility to track the lost bitcoins.

I would imagine this being a very tedious task.
Thete are so many satoshis being sent around the clock.
Would be tough to monitor all of these transactions.

yes you are right and lots of it kind where to be in this world without any support because they are lost by someone so finding all of them will be very difficult and making it again as a new currency will not be possible in many times.

Lets think of it in another way. The wallets whose private key are lost, the bitcoin store in them are also of no use and cannot ever be sold. So this means that actual supply of bitcoin is less than theoretical supply. As the time passes on more bitcoins private keys will be lost etc and therefore the bitcoin will become more and more expensive.

It would be very great if you will be able to bring back those bitcoins from the void to your wallet. Lost bitcoins is just there, it will not be returned again that is why we should really be careful in transacting our bitcoins to other wallets. We all know that the transactions here are irreversible, once the mistake is done, you can't turn it around.

You obviously did not read the OP, I think this is a very well known fact,,, certainly OP knows it. He is just asking for a list of known lost addresses, that is all.

And very bad advice, to save your money in an exchange. You think an exchange will give you the private key for your address, in a wallet shared by 1000s of other people? You really need to understand how crypto and centralized exchanges and private keys and having your own wallets work. You do not seem to have it down.

i am bit safe activating 2FA authentication

I almost lost some fractions of my coins too because I didn't know the exact place I wrote my seed. It took me like 6 months before I stumbled on it somewhere in between a pocket jotter note. I was very glad as I was able to open and saw my coins. Grin

Writing public report about lost bitcoin is it for research purpose because no one have been able to recovered lost bitcoin in history so venting into that may be an efforts in futility. You can visit the service section some users use to post they wallet with lost found in there looking for help. Good luck

Once lost I think it’s gone forever, and there’s no way to retrieving back that is why it is always to to keep pass keys very safe. I have read a story somewhere of a man who had over $100,000 in his wallet and then misplaced or rather forgot his pass key and there was no mean to get it back. I advise people to always guide their wallets and keys very jealously.

It is very difficult if not impossible to track lost coins, coins that have not moved for a long time could be lost but those coins could also be held by long term holders that are not interested in moving their coins, and even if someone claims that the coins in a particular address are lost it is impossible to verify it, and if the person could sign a message with that address then such a thing could prove that the address was his but will also prove the coins are not lost.
