Comment on How to Lose $81,000 in Bitcoinsparent

Yes, that would also lose the data.

My point was that 'delicate' isn't nearly strong enough of a word. If you can make diligent backups and still lose everything, the system is beyond 'delicate'.

Another post notes that newer clients have fixed this issue by pre-generating addresses. That's better, but being able to lose all your money because you lose a number just isn't acceptable.

well, i'd expect clients to eventually evolve that allow you to automatically back up your stuff. the currency and concept just isn't that evolved yet.
