I was CPU mining btc way back when the diff was that low, but didn't keep it going for similar reasons. Ironically, I DID keep my keys safe and can still access that account :). I must admit that I do sometimes kick myself for not spending more spare cycles on it...

20/20 hindsight vision, we all have it, at least you kept your keys, and that which was not mined was not really lost. I figure in three years I will be kicking myself for not learning how to buy and withdraw any crypto coins, but I do not think it will be the end of the world if I do. Surviving the frustration is sometimes not an easy thing. Every day I want to quit steem block chain, especially when I get 8 completely meaningless down votes on a post, but I eventually shake it off and keep on posting, granted at a much slower rate sometimes, but I still try to get those three or four a week out.

Never looked into mining, but I wonder how much is lost from people that decided it wasn't worth it and misplaced their keys.

I got started in mining mostly because I was looking for something useful to do with my extra CPU cycles when I wasn't using my computer :). When it became something you needed specialized hardware to get any real return, I lost interest in it (mostly because I wasn't interested in making that kind of investment in it).

No doubt there are MANY out there who have lost their keys to a significant amount of crypto! I'm too much of a digital pack-rat for that :)

I wish I was a nerd ;D

I have heard that for BTC it is something like 20% and I would imagine on Steem it is quite significant also.
