Let's add up the KNOWN lost bitcoins

[SgtSpike]

It doesn't look like the OP has been watching his own thread. He still has 0BTC total lost. I luckily haven't lost any coins yet. Redundancy.

I'm still watching it.  I'm just too lazy to add it all up and everyone has stopped using the format I specified at the beginning of the thread to keep a running total.

I lost zero, but been scammed plenty of btc. Does that count? I was scammed ~500btc back in 2011 when the whole forum was still naive to scams, last year got scammed a bunch more on LBC due to bank reversals, then earlier this year got fuked by mtgox.

God damn 500? how in hell? I would be super depressed. And no it doesnt really count, as someone may be enjoying that money right now as we speak 

[BitCoinNutJob]

I'd be surprised if it wasnt 1 million bitcoins lost, in the very early days people were losing them very easily from what i hear.

No. This is about lost coins, ie those no one can spend.

[WhatTheGox]

gox coins could be lost or scammed we dont know yet

[haploid23]

gox coins could be lost or scammed we dont know yet

I believe those 800k gox coins either moved or got split up at some point, so they are not "lost", more like theft.

[Kickstart4]

I never lost even a penny. I keep my account secure.

I have known people who have lost few coins as they forgot password/private keys.

Those 7500 coins are included in the total lost.

You're expected to update the total. That's how the thread works (AFAIK).

I'll do it for you: 134578.27864659 + 4.1 = 134582.37864659

[littlewizard]

That 1% is a lot in my opinion, taking into consideration this is just a corner of the glacier, I guess there maybe in total 5% lost..
