I'd contact the manufacturer and see if they could do anything, or talk to various red team companies around the world. If they can get in, they'll get a nice payday.

It would literally be a better thing for the economy for them to help in recovering the account. Eventually it would be bought and sold and so on, rather than sitting stagnant in some lonely wallet. bugga told me I'm a cutie ![[Image: x4h-RUeb.png]](https://i.postimg.cc/8Pcz45DN/x4h-RUeb.png)  (Jan 24, 2021 09:40 PM)Cooligan Wrote: It would literally be a better thing for the economy for them to help in recovering the account.

The value just transfers to the remaining bitcoin, decreasing the supply, which increases the price. It's not like demand for bitcoin is going to change. Unless you're talking about money he donates after the wallet is opened up. ![[Image: Iu0EfTL.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/Iu0EfTL.gif) (Jan 24, 2021 10:12 PM)Lindros Wrote: I don't think any value is lost by him losing his wallet.

Really sad one...and the system is built to ensure it's "hack-proof" so password recoveries are not allowed!
