Man Has Just Two Password Guesses Left Before He Loses £180m In His Bitcoin Account
A computer programmer who lost his Bitcoin password has just two guesses left before he is locked out of his account forever.Stefan Thomas has lost the slip of paper with the information to unlock his 7,002 digital coins, which yesterday were worth a reported £180million.
The tech worker told the New York Times he cannot remember the crucial code to a small hard drive, known as an IronKey, to unlock his account and cash in.
German-born Mr Thomas, who now lives in San Francisco, said if he doesn't get the password right within the next two tries, he will lose the fortune forever.
