Thanks for the story. Yeah, the silk road was the first of thousands now. I still think that Albrecht got a raw deal.

I also had a harddrive crash with my passwords in an encrypted folder. I lost a few bitcoins or maybe only one, I don't remember. It didn't crush me because when I got them they were worth a little more than the electricity it took to mine them. I don't cry into my whiskey over it but I'd sure love to get that hard drive repaired. It's SSD which makes it nearly impossible.
