I can't be the only one here to have lost some.
Somewhere in my house, or perhaps at my old workplace, there is a USB stick with approx 250 bitcoins on it, the gains from early mining and experimenting. I'd backed them up before I rebuilt my main machine, and then didn't restore them immediately (mining was approaching diminishing returns and I gave up).
I'm pretty sure I haven't over-written them, but I also have no idea where they are. A few weeks ago I looked again, fruitlessly. I'm sure they'll turn up some day.

- buro9 14y agoI have searched harder! I can't find any of my USB sticks. I'm assuming they're all together and I tidied them up. I don't feel like I've lost them (hence no panic), just that I don't know where they are. Though I really didn't comprehend they were worth so much. The last time I looked they were GBP 750. Am now leaving the keyboard to look again.
- epaga 14y agoI love these stories. Please update if/when you find them. :)
- buro9 14y agoI've found a few old SD cards, a hard drive I'd forgotten about, a Garmin for my bike I'd assumed I'd lent out, and a watch I'd mislaid years ago. But no USB sticks. They're here somewhere. May be time for a weekend of spring cleaning.
