There's nothing blockchain.info can do to help you get your coins back.

If it cheers you up in any way, I've lost over 30 BTC over the past year to scammers and lost wallets...

I'd consider your 2BTC loss as lucky. Many of us have lost much much more experimenting with Bitcoin.

So you've lost more than 2 BTC "experimenting?" As in gambling and getting scammed?
Doing that, you already know the risks and you did it knowing there was a chance you could have lost the money.

The OP got the funds stolen against his will. So if you lost the BTC gambling, getting scammed, that was your own fault.
Of course, this OP should have just used bitcoin wallet QT or have the info backed-up

I've lost more than 2 BTC via theft, learning how to properly send BTC to an address, and not doing enough research on best practices for proper wallet security. I used the term "experimenting" because I felt that it described my learning experiences (i.e. trial and error) well.

Got it. Haven't used BTC on a gambling site yet..

It's not because someone lost more, that it is lucky to lose 2 btc ...
Maybe it was all he had.

Point taken. It's not lucky to loose any BTC Sad

I'll revise my previous statement: As the territory surrounding a risky bet such as BTC stands, only put up what your willing to loose, write it off as a learning experience, and get back in the game! Wink
