In the US investors bitcoin, when you forget the password, are resorting to hypnotherapy

In South Carolina hypnotist Jason Miller began to offer services in hypnotherapy for investors who forgot the password from the “wallet” through bitcoin.

It is noted that the cost of service is estimated at one bitcoin, plus 5% of the amount of compensation.

“I have developed a methodology, which can be used to access the depths of human memory and recall long-forgotten” he said The Wall Street Journal.

Investors who several years ago invested in bitcoins are now in limbo.

Purses with bitcoin use the “secret keys”, encrypted codes of complex security. So there is no way to reset or cancel the password.

One of the most famous “losers” is Philip Neumeier, which in 2013 bought 15 bitcoins for just $ 260. Now these investments are estimated at $ 300,000. However, Philip lost their passwords to the wallet. He pondered to enlist the help of a hypnotist, but decided to build a computer to crack the code “brute force”.

It is about 5-foot system, which generates so much heat that is in a special water tank for the cooling system. According to Neumeier, to calculate all possible combinations of letters, numbers and symbols may need 332.

WSJ talks about another interesting case: a man decided to clean the old computer, which stored their passwords. But nothing compares with James Howelson, who in 2013 threw out the hard drive with 7500 bitcoins. Then they cost $ 130, now of 126.7 million dollars. The programmer is still trying to find the hard drive in a landfill.

Last month Elon Musk in his Twitter wrote that he had lost some of their bitcoins. Many owners of bitcoin has faced a similar problem.

This year the exchange rate of bitcoin has increased more than 20 times and amounted to more than 19 000 dollars. Tuesday morning it was trading at 18,000 dollars.
