Now here's something you don't want to do, a man in Wales has accidentally thrown out his hard drive which has his bitcoin wallet with 7500BTC on it, it's now buried somewhere in a landfill site:

Brb going to search all landfills in the UK.

Wtf, it's would probably be a good investment of time and resources for me to go to the airport right now ...

What if it's passworded/encrypted though?

He will probably split it with me quite happily I would think

The stupidity was not making a backup.

You know there have to be more than a few wallets full of BTC sitting on hard-drives on computers in second-hand stores and pawn shops. I look forward to hearing some interesting stories.

A friend lost a relative recently who got on the btc bandwagon in 2010, the guys widow doesn't even know what bitcoin is. He died Saturday night, friends been trying to decide how to approach the wife about recovering them for her. I imagine lot's of these types of stories will come out over the following years!

Tell him to do it soon. People act hastily in grief. She may give the computer to a nephew or something.

Oh, damn. I sold 20 LTC on 0.01 BTC to make my bitcoin-wallet grow. But well, this is not the best time to be greedy I guess

Right now we all should be happy! Cheesy

It's not too late. Litecoin is for real and it's here to stay.

Yeah, I hope so! I still have ~31 LTC Cool
