### ksd5's Lost Key | ||
|
||
On July 14th, bitcointalk user `ksd5` created a thread[^1] trying to trace BTC sent to a change address. | ||
|
||
It emerged that while trying to test double spend protection, the user inadvertently overwrote the `wallet.dat` file containing the private key to a change address which held their 1.2 BTC balance. | ||
|
||
While the address is not explicitly stated in the post, enough information is provided to enable us to trace the transaction and address involved[^2]. | ||
