Fellow anons,
I used to mine BTC and LTC on my raggedy old laptop. I intented to hodl that for longterm like the next 5 years. But somehow my son got to it when I went on holiday with my frens. He wanted to play games and formatted the whole disk. Is there a way to retrieve?
Disk formatted
Banana crates
That's what you get for having sex.
Google tools like unformat or undelete
Unplug the fucker and send to a recovery firm.
Any usage reduces chance of recovery
Don't sex, chadcel
Kinda' this. If you actually have a few quid's worth on there, recovery companies will charge between $300-500 for basic-ass recovery like that. Totally worth doing it. If you didn't have enough on there to make that investment worth it, download TestDisk and recover the old partition, or use Recuva to try to get files.
Should've taught him about property rights
yes
do not start your pc, the more you use the hard drive now, the more you will overwrite old data (even just booting it will save to disk stuff like pagefile and other tmp bullshit. Do don't do it.
Get an external hard drive bigger than the one you want to rescue.
Get a usb stick with a live kali linux (it had many forensic tools)
First thing you need to do i a "dd" of the disk to an image that you save into the external one (dd is a copy of all the raw bytes).
Then you can use tools or do some manual forensic on the back image itself.
Never touch the formatted hard drive or you will just keep messing it more and more.
#OP you can retrieve with wallet file.
And when you do, go hard on MITX for 10x that in August.
You made a fucking wallet back up, right? please tell me you didn't seriously have an unbacked up wallet
Yes, go back in time and sterilize yourself.

Not how they work you fucking retard.

>mined on a laptop
>play games on a laptop

This. Recuva works
All is lost. Gain back by these buys;
-LINK
-COTI
-NKN
-AIR
He did not buy Egretia.....
He is not buying BPRO right now.....
KEK JUST KYS
The more you use it, the more the disks will be used. 'Deleting' means that the space is now open to overwrite. You need data recovery.
Salvation is here
It’s making me stinky rich
This. Your son violated the NAP. You are now morally justified in nuking your son
How much are we talkin here, OP?
