As sad as this unfortunate event was it is time to let it go and stop posting here just as the OP has too.
Hi JollyGood, Im sorry if my lack of response is out of the ordinary. I have been following along with each post.
To be quite honest, Im utterly devastated by the events that have led me to this point. Never have I felt such a magnitude of anxiety and depression. Im a good man, work hard, and have a generally positive worldview of humanity. This experience is truly testing that worldview and its cross with the functionality of Bitcoin. To have made mistakes so tragically unforgivable is a really hard thing to swallow. I dont know how to find a steady breath and heartbeat again. Im so freaking devastated with my mistake, I dont know what to do. I cant sleep. I can hardly eat. My mind is garbage at work. The world is really dark right now with my belief in humanity, at the margins, at an all time low.
If anyone knows the person who holds the keys, Im begging from the bottom of my heart.
Please dont wipe me out.
Hey Billy, I'm guessing none of our condolences is going to make you feel any better. I know it's a long shot, but you could still try send messages to those wallets, especially where the majority of it is stashed. Make your plea, grovel, I don't know. Ask. Thieves have been known to return some of it in the past, hackers have a sort of complex which can sometimes be appealed to when acknowledged.
If it helps, try to think of the amount you actually put it... not so much the BTC value. Get some help, talk to someone. Get someone else you trust to monitor your wallet for any possible messages back. Take it easy now.
As for security suggestions and considerations, do them now if you have any other coins. But remember what DannyHamilton said in the very first response to your quote. Don't risk everything. Keep enough or convert enough back to fiat. And keep that in a bank as cash guaranteed and insured against theft. Bitcoin is still an experiment, to be treated as one.
