Read and comprehend. Evaluate and take action.

There's a possibility it can be restored. Hopefully a person who gives access to wallet sources can make sure that a person who unlocks the wallet won't take everything as a reward.

There is a secure way to do this. He can provide just an empty private key (or better yet one with a low value). |

It's just a troller, too bad you can't read italian, but there is nothing you are missing.

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers |

I'll be interested in two things, and I'll make some of my own estimates for the fun of it:
1) Ratio of BTC lost due to forgotten passphrase vs. those to stolen wallet.dat's:
1e) 10/1
2) First post here from someone needing to know how to get their coins from an encrypted wallet due to forgetting their passphrase:
2e) 3 days
Don't get me wrong...I think this is good an necessary work and I thank the dev team for it and all the other work. But I do anticipate the encryption contributing to the 'deflationary' nature of the currency
edit: Note the date. This comment was made in association with the release of 0.4-ish. |
sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

Wow I can't believe some people
Luckily I remember 99% passwords without the need of writing down anything.
Quite a number of bitcoins have been lost already, deflation^2.

He will most likely send a wallet.exe file to anyone who asks, saying it's an auto-extractible zip file.  |
[OVER] RIDDLES 2nd edition --- this was claimed. Look out for 3rd edition! I won't ever ask for a loan nor offer any escrow service. If I do, please consider my account as hacked. |

the guy at walletrecoveryservices.com has a pretty good track record
he takes all the info the user can remember about the passphrase and starts bruteforce from there, I believe his fee is 15%
|
This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

15% of 10M? for a service with a track record of not running off with people's money? sure 8.5M > 0.00 |

I doubt that he will find it though. From what I've read he has no money to get people to find it for him either. |
