Okay so my sad tale begins; bought a few btc back in 2011. It all fell through the floor, I lost a few hundred bucks, and I promptly dismissed the whole thing. All the dishonest sneakery of certain people unscrupulously and actively relieving other people of their bitcoin purses right out from under their noses left a bad taste in my mouth, not to mention the flash crash on mtgox (I still have a screen shot of the chart if anyone wants to see it). During most of 2012 I would get a little bit interested whenever I saw a story about bitcoin or looked at the charts. I would think I should buy some coin but then dismiss and forget about it.
All the hooplah started up again in Feb 2013 so, excitedly I sit BUT low and behold; I cannot remember my effing passphrase... for the life of me. been trying for weeks. Even been running Revalin's brute.rb script to no avail.
So now I have a permanent retirement account that I hope to one day be able to access. I've likened it to having a safe full of gold bars - with a live video camera feed to my desktop, but the safe is sunken way down deep in an undisclosed cavern off the Pacific Rim in the ocean.
Happy part of this story is that I was able to get my hands on a few earlier in the year.
