Re: Will occasional losses of bitcoin wallets limit available maximum bitcoins?
Bill Gates would no longer be in the top ten most rich people list.
that should be fine if it's a result of the owner's fault, under other circumstances, if he's a victim of a crime (theft, sabotage, etc), most people will probably think not having a lost-coin recovery mechanism is a flaw.what's your coin recovery mechanism when someone breaks into your house and steals your stash of cash and valuables?
the 'stolen bitcoin' recovery mechanism is exactly the same.
Can you imagine going to the police today to report the theft of your wallet.dat
I would imagine that the end results would be the same as when I reported my stolen bicycle as a child. Too many adults still have a childlike faith in the abilities of the police.
