sad to say that your coins will lost forever too if you lost your private key. if you create a wallet you should always make a back up of all the information created for a certain wallet

Real wallets can be taken back or used by someone else. The crypto wallet will be lost forever, no one can use it

If you are talking about your eth wallet private key no. You can't retrieve it and its possible that if someone sees it, that person have the capability to get or transfer all your tokens in that wallet. As private key is also like password you should have backed up it to a safer place. That's the bad side in having eth wallet if your a forgetful person..

If you lose your private key, your encrypted currency will also be lost, because the private key corresponds to your encrypted currency, which is the block chain technology.

There's a way in recovering your Private key if it is you key to your myetherwallet. But you should have downloaded the UTC and you still have the password when you create your account. I have lost my PK before but i recover it again.
Yes but that is only possible in case of Etherum. Myetherwallet gives you number of ways to access your account. But for bitcoin private key is the only way to access your wallet. You can also restore your wallet with the seed but i am afraid if these are lost there is no way of recovering the bitcoins and those bitcoins are lost forever.
Once lost, it is hard to be recover the keys. Private key is more important thing that need to keep on you to access your file. It is better that you know where to keep it because not all account can be recover. You have to be careful and make more backup of it because you can lose everything what you've gain if you become clumsy on it.

In order not to get into a very unpleasant situation when you lost your private key and lost all your money - make backups, or write down your private key in a notebook.

I think you can not do anything without a private key .. for this reason I think it's good to know that if you lose your PK you lose money.

There is no other way to transfer the tokens on your wallet.
So keep the private key as it's the only way to unlock the wallet again

Private keys are very important. Once you lost it you cannot recover it and you will lose all your funds. You cannot transfer tokens either because once you lose it you will no longer have access to your account. It is recommended to keep your private keys in safe place and always make a backup like print it in a piece of paper then keep that piece of paper in a vault or save a copy of your private key in your flash drive. All of your funds will be just a waste if ever that you lose you private keys. That's why you must always take care of it. Don't blame the wallet if you can't recover your private key, you are the only responsible for it. If you lose it, it's because of you carelessness.

well the only thing i had in my mind in order to recover your lost private key is wait for the future
there will be quantum computers in the future that can calculate a million times faster than an average laptop
if that kind of technology became available to the public then i think there will be a chance that you can recover your private key

i believe in the quote that
there is no treasure that can be hidden forever that's why it only needs to take time to find a burried treasure

Satoshi have a saying about the lost keys and he says that it would be a gift to the whole market as no one could access the wallet and they would be untouched so the possibility to dump the btc would be zero

If you lose the private key then the solution to restore the wallet is the JSON backup file, this file in the process of creating a wallet if you save it will be able to restore the wallet without having a private key Smiley)). Once you lose both the private key and the JSON file recovery, no one can help you recover the wallet

If you lose your private key, whatever was stored in that wallet cannot be recovered. The entire security is based on the fact that private keys cannot be guessed or recovered. Sorry bud!

There is a way.....
use any programming language and code iteration of alphabethical and numeric sequence to find the exact account number.
This is the simplest way and no need for any degree, just knowledge in programming language, and of course, Time, Electricity, Idle hardware (good one), and some candy (No rice! or Meat! Especially Beer!!! Bad in waiting situation and condition). And remember to get your wife/husband (and children) away from this computer!! Especially if you find that they go near this computer with pure intention of horny or unsettlement self muscle contraction.

For bitcoin private key is very important. If someone lost private key of bitcoin it is very hard to recover. One thing can prevent from losing private key of bitcoin. User of bitcoin should kept the private key either in safe hard drive wallet. But hard drive wallet can loss accidently. It is better to keep it in online safe wallet.

I assume that you are using an Ethereum wallet and not a Bitcoin wallet cause you are pertaining to tokens.

Private keys is the most essential with any kind of cryptocurrency wallets so if you lose it then there is no way you can retreive your wallets. You have no any insurance in getting back your tokens anymore but if you still have an access to your Keystore File(UTC/JSON) with password then you can still login to your Ethereum address.
Correct, with the keystore file you can use it to access your wallet and you can get your private key again. If you only had private key and the keystore file is gone you can't get your private key again if you lost your private key. That's the time that there's nothing you can do and create new one and the old wallet with tokens will be gone or out of reach anymore. You better save the most important with the wallet, the keystore file utc/json contains your private key that is encrypted with the password you provided when you create it. Hope it helps.
