Amen to that, sometimes it really is better not to recall the past

!!!! Wow, sometimes it's better not to remember, right? lol
If it makes you feel any better, I think there were very few that got in as early as you did that had the guts/courage to hold all the way up to the ATH. Win some, lose some.

OUCH!
Indeed. Puts a 10,000 BTC pizza into perspective though, right ?
- Nobody expects the revolution - do let me know when it re-starts.
On the upside the price has been going down and if there is another dump coming from the Bitstamp fiasco then you may see it re-start.

You win some, you lose some and that's just the way it goes ... !?!?
~ Inspired by this thread and some recent events I randomly decided to try and fire up an old dell inspiron laptop I used in early 2010 which suffered a battery, screen and HD failure in the space of a month or so.
After eventually managing to boot it up and having 30 so attempts to remember an old windows xp password (without success) I then resorted to using an ubuntu live cd to try and access my old data...
Success. So, I open the search prompt and enter 'wallet.dat' with the vague recollection that I might of made a backup of a backup from another PC (since lost) to this laptops HD...
~ Finds a wallet.dat - last access 31/01/11 - 19:57 - Size (unencrypted): 336 KB
So, I immediately copy the file to a USB flash drive and load it up in a new Bitcoin core instance.
Rescanning... 1% ... 99% ... (I'm feeling many mixed emotions obviously) I'm thinking maybe I left 0.55 BTC or was it 25 BTC or even 500 BTC !?!? ...
Great! 0 balance.
1st transaction - probably sent to myself from another of my own mining wallets...
