I would imagine this being a very tedious task.
Thete are so many satoshis being sent around the clock. 
Would be tough to monitor all of these transactions. 
yes you are right and lots of it kind where to be in this world without any support because they are lost by someone so finding all of them will be very difficult and making it again as a new currency will not be possible in many times.
Anyone could have to pay attention and monitor for BTC transactions if they paid for it. Actually all BTC transactions were recorded in the blockchain but it is difficult to trace the numbers of BTC were loss and really a tough job for anyone. I don't think if there is someone who can challenge to check that.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

No, I have never been tracking the lost Bitcoin. Because I know that I will never be able to get back my lost bits. So I think that it is not possible to get back to it. And the lost bitcoin can never be found back. I have not seen anyone yet that lost bitcoin has got back. It is not possible to get lost Bitcoin with private key. Some of my Bitcoin have been lost long ago. I tried a few days to rescue the bitcoin. But at the end of the day I could not be successful. So I think missing Bitcoin is nothing but stupid running.

Thank you

For example, once a mining site called Nicehash was hacked and all the miners' balances were lost. from the DEV Nicehash team, itself traced the lost bitcoin but only could trace the wallet address while the name of the owner of the wallet could not be known. This is the risk of the anonymous nature of blockchain technology. I think a party that is really special needs to be established to deal with problems like this and that party can be trusted to be able to access all the security of users of blockchain technology. Why should parties like this be established? So that if a theft occurs we can report the incident and they can follow up on the report received.

hi,

i am just collecting info about lost bitcoins.

i want addresses with lost private keys / no private keys / or any other addresses with unavailable bitcoins

is anybody can point me if such data set is already exist or just post such addresses here.

thank you
It is very difficult if not impossible to track lost coins, coins that have not moved for a long time could be lost but those coins could also be held by long term holders that are not interested in moving their coins, and even if someone claims that the coins in a particular address are lost it is impossible to verify it, and if the person could sign a message with that address then such a thing could prove that the address was his but will also prove the coins are not lost.

Writing public report about lost bitcoin is it for research purpose because no one have been able to recovered lost bitcoin in history so venting into that may be an efforts in futility. You can visit the service section some users use to post they wallet with lost found in there looking for help. Good luck
Once lost I think it’s gone forever, and there’s no way to retrieving back that is why it is always to to keep pass keys very safe. I have read a story somewhere of a man who had over $100,000 in his wallet and then misplaced or rather forgot his pass key and there was no mean to get it back. I advise people to always guide their wallets and keys very jealously.

i am bit safe activating 2FA authentication

I almost lost some fractions of my coins too because I didn't know the exact place I wrote my seed. It took me like 6 months before I stumbled on it somewhere in between a pocket jotter note. I was very glad as I was able to open and saw my coins. Grin

did you lose the private key? if it is lost or has been stolen then it is total and 100% of your bitcoin cannot be returned, unless you save it in exchange and you lose the private key then you can request a private key in exchange

You obviously did not read the OP, I think this is a very well known fact,,, certainly OP knows it. He is just asking for a list of known lost addresses, that is all.

And very bad advice, to save your money in an exchange. You think an exchange will give you the private key for your address, in a wallet shared by 1000s  of other people? You really need to understand how crypto and centralized exchanges and private keys and having your own wallets work. You do not seem to have it down.

It would be very great if you will be able to bring back those bitcoins from the void to your wallet. Lost bitcoins is just there, it will not be returned again that is why we should really be careful in transacting our bitcoins to other wallets. We all know that the transactions here are irreversible, once the mistake is done, you can't turn it around.

true and that is one of the weaknesses of crypto currency because there is no legal force or institution that protects what we have in crypto currencies

Why crypto need protection? It can stand itself because that is decentralized. Loses bitcoin is the fault on the holder because of he/she dumb and lazy not to keep the private key which is very important. Lost bitcoin is probably useful to those miners, as far as in know, overall stock amount of bitcoin is 21 million and the lost is 4 million.

Lets think of it in another way. The wallets whose private key are lost, the bitcoin store in them are also of no use and cannot ever be sold. So this means that actual supply of bitcoin is less than theoretical supply. As the time passes on more bitcoins private keys will be lost etc and therefore the bitcoin will become more and more expensive.

thank you

We cannot collect such data because we never know that the owners of the bitcoin present in wallets. If we see a address where no transaction is made for a long time, it does not mean that those bitcoin are not useable. It maybe the case that the owner of the wallet does not want to sell the bitcoins and want to keep it for very long time. So in reality there is no possibility to track the lost bitcoins.

How do you know the amount of bitcoin that is lost? Is there a place to know that? Everyone really hates a loss or even loses something very valuable like bitcoin. We can't blame anyone for losing bitcoin as a pure mistake from the holder.

that's one of the disadvantages of investing with our crypto currencies as investors must be more careful about what we have in crypto currencies and no one is responsible than ourselves

I don't think that, in fact Finding information on lost bitcoin is not an easy task. Actually I can take it almost impossible to do, Bitcoin of many people lost without any kind of responsiveness. So it's kind of an impossible practical step to put in the truck.

I don't think that this is possible to happen and collect all these data. There will be a huge variation in the results of your report.
Having said that, your report will not be trustworthy and give data that will assist users in taking any decisions on the network.
theft occurs because of our own mistakes usually and cannot be returned because they do not have legal ties to anyone and whatever and the responsibility is entirely with the investor itself

If we were going to put our crypto on any exchanges be wiser enough to think that our crypto is not safe anymore if you let the other person handle your crypto. That why it is better we do it on ourselves instead of handling it to the other because you can't blame if your funds are gone due to trusting them.

I think it is completely impossible to get back information on lost bitcoin. This is almost impossible.

I have read stories of people who have died with more than million dollars in their wallet and families find it so difficult to get it out. The last story of a man with more than 10million dollars in his wallet and he died without telling any of his family members his key. So I seriously think it’s impossible to do this.
until now there is still no technology that can track lost bitcoin. but I believe that someday there must be a way to track lost bitcoin. because technology is very fast moving forward, especially the trading system that cannot be dammed up.
