钱包解锁尝试次数仅剩两次。
Only two attempts were made to unlock the wallet.
2009年，英国IT从业者James Howells购买了7500个比特币，当时价值约130美元。目前，1比特币约合3.5万美元(2.5万英镑或2.8万欧元)，也就是说，Howells如今应该是拥有2.58亿美元的富豪了。
In 2009, a British IT practitioner, James Howells, purchased 7,500 bits worth about US$ 130. At present, one bitcoin is about US$ 35,000 (£25 million or €28 million), which means that Howells is now a $258 million rich man.
但是，2013年时，Howells的女朋友受不了区块挖掘硬件发出的巨大噪音，勒令他停止加密货币挖矿行为，他就扔掉了存有数字钱包密钥的硬盘。
However, in 2013, Howells'girlfriend could not stand the loud noise caused by block-drawling hardware and ordered him to stop encrypting money mining, and he threw away the hard disk containing the digital wallet keys.
另一起事件中，加拿大加密货币交易所QuardigaCX创始人兼首席执行官Gerald Cotten突然去世，导致币所遭遇重大打击。
In another incident, the sudden death of Gerald Cotten, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the QuardigaCX, an encrypted Canadian currency exchange, caused a major blow to the currency.
因为币所密码的关键信息只有这位CEO一个人知道，他突然去世之后，币所只能宣布总价值高达约1.45亿美元(1.9亿加元)的虚拟货币业已失去。
Because only the CEO knew about the key information in the currency code, after his sudden death, the currency could only declare that the virtual currency with a total value of about $145 million ($190 million) had been lost.
在缺乏密码的情况下，QuardigaCX完全无法访问其冷存储(离线钱包)。唯一知道 密码的人就是Cotten。
In the absence of a password, QuadigaCX has no access to its cold storage (offline wallet). The only person who knows the password is Cotten.
如今，最新研究揭示，忘记自己加密货币钱包密码的用户不在少数，钱包中的资金就此沉眠。
Today, recent research has revealed that users who have forgotten to encrypt their currency wallet passwords are not in the minority and that the money in the wallet is sleeping.
比特币价格暴涨搞崩钱包持有者心态
the mentality of wallet-holders whose prices skyrocketed and crashed in bitcoin
比特币汇率暴涨近50%，录得自上月2万美元以来的历史纪录新高。所以忘记密码的加密货币钱包持有者无比想要解锁自己的账户。这毫不令人意外，因为他们现在清楚意识到：如果能解锁钱包自己将变得多么富有。
The Bitcoin exchange rate surged by almost 50 per cent, recording a record high since $20,000 last month. So the cryptophone wallet holders who forgot their passwords tried to unlock their accounts. This is no surprise, because they now realize how rich they would be if they could unlock their wallets.
20%的现有比特币存在钱包中
据加密货币数据收集机构Chainalysis介绍，现有185万比特币中的20%目前都锁在钱包中，价值约合1400亿美元。《纽约时报》报道称，丢失密码恢复服务Wallet Recovery Services一天收到约70个数字钱包密码恢复请求。
According to the crypto-currency data collection agency Chainalysis, 20 per cent of the current 1.85 million bits are currently locked in wallets valued at about $140 billion. The New York Times reported that the missing password recovery service, Wallet Recory Services, received about 70 digital wallet passwords a day.
这一请求数量比上月高了三倍。恢复出来的密码用于解锁IronKey，也就是含有数字钱包私钥的小硬盘。
The number of requests is three times higher than last month.
钱包持有者急于回想起密码
The owner of the wallet is anxious to recall the password .
比特币汇率激增的情况下，钱包持有者自然想要记起密码从而获利。但旧金山程序员Stefan Thomas表示，到目前为止，他用过的所有策略均已宣告失败。
In the case of a surge in the Bitcoin exchange rate, the wallet holder naturally wants to remember the password for profit. But San Francisco programmer Stefan Thomas says that all the tactics he has used so far have failed.
如今他仅剩两次密码尝试机会，再失败就会永久锁定钱包。
Now he has only two passwords left to try and permanently lock his wallet if he fails again.
Thomas约有7002个比特币存在这个被锁定的钱包中，按照本周汇率，这些比特币共价值2.4亿美元。Facebook前首席安全官Alex Stanos通过推特表示愿意帮助Thomas，但要求抽取钱包所存比特币总价值的10%。
Thomas has about 7002 bitcoins in this locked wallet, valued at $240 million at this week’s exchange rate. The former Chief Security Officer of Facebook, Alex Stanos, has offered to help Thomas by tweeting, but has asked for 10% of the total value of bitcoins deposited in the wallet.
遗失密码问题不容忽视
The problem of missing passwords cannot be ignored
比特币价值的上下波动刺激着加密货币钱包持有者的神经。因为网络罪犯尝试访问这些因持有者遗失密码而锁定的比特币钱包。有时候，钱包持有者无法回想起密码，或者意外删除了硬盘上存着的密码。很多钱包持有者早在2009年就开始收集比特币了。
The up-and-down fluctuations in the value of bitcoins stimulate the nerves of the bearers of encrypted currency wallets, because cybercriminals try to access these bitcoins that have been locked because the holders have lost their passwords. Sometimes, wallet holders cannot recall the passwords or accidentally remove the passwords stored on hard disks. Many wallet holders have collected bitcoins as early as 2009.
为了重新拿回遗失的密码，钱包持有者尝试了多种方法，比如利用All Private Keys市场(可以下载、购买，甚至黑进比特币钱包的地方)。
In order to retrieve the missing passwords, wallet holders have tried various ways, such as using the All Private Keys market (where it can be downloaded, purchased or even hacked into the Bitcoin wallet).
