I was there 3000 years ago during the initial kickstarter and got taken in by the grift for the $5 starter ship.

    lol I had a hundred of them in college when they were worth pennies or a few dollars. at the end of the school year, we scrapped that computer for parts and I'm pretty sure the hard drive went to a landfill. the coins were a novelty and I was pretty sure they wouldn't replace money so I didn't sweat it. I did sweat when the coins went north of 20k, though. slightly more hoarder tendencies and I'd have had "never work again" money.

        it sort of does in that the public key associated with the wallet is used to derive what's inside it. that key is extremely lost and I didn't keep backups. if I had it, I'd be able to restore the wallet.
