I lost tons! Some examples of my buffoonery:
Wrong address (burned!) Lost in wallet (wrong derivation path ) Sent sats for cloud mining (LOL!) Lost in ln bits wallets Unclaimed tips Lightning roulette
Lost because of derivation path?
Did you use a custom derivation path and forgot it or how did this happen?
If you know which wallet software you used, you should be able to recover.

This was in my way earlier days so it might be tough to remember the exact details but I remember I created a blue wallet wrote the seeds down then I tried to import that wallet into fully noded wallet and I just randomly elected the derivation path. Then poof the bitcoin was lost. I couldn’t find it either in blue wallet or fully noded so I just moved on. I still have the seed words to that wallet and I even used that one offline tool to search for the coins but had no luck ever finding them.

Oooh I'll have to look into the derivation path stuff. I love looking into things I barely comprehend.
Thank you for the inputs!
