You're not serious are you? How exactly did you do that? Couldn't you withdraw the amount? From what I know only smaller than 0.1 were non-withdrawable (left some there myself - but don't really care) but 8.78??!! Huh

Oh, I have no excuses. It was good old fashioned negligence. I had a good run with the GPU's I was using in my rigs (this was back when that was still a thing), but they were going the natural death of all GPUs, and summer was heating up. Also, the switch to ASICs was just beginning, which I didn't care to invest in, and in a technical sense the pools were all so big that I didn't think I was *needed*.

So I quit mining, and completely forgot that I had the pool set to autopay to wallet at 10 BTC. Days ago, in a bit of a pinch, I thought to myself "You know, I could have sworn I had half a btc on one of these drives..." Actually, I had 28.78, with 20 linked to a single wallet.dat!

Anyway, I set the automatic payment threshold to just a tiny bit below my current balance, and waited. Nothing after about a day. Pressing instant payout gives me a "please_wait!" error.
I sent them an email, also. Nothing yet, but I'll certainly give him a little while to notice the situation. I'm quite sure deep is still around, albeit on another alias.

I'm sure you're aware that this amount is something that you may regret a lot more that you didn't withdraw after a year or so (even earlier)... Anyway. We've all something to blame ourselves. I left a few BTCs in my Gox account hoping (!) it will be back in the future. I learned the hard way, I guess. Sad
