I'm in the same boat. CPU-mined somewhere between 1.5 and 2 BTC back in 2010 or 2011, and lost the wallet years ago. I wonder how much BTC has been lost to similar mistakes, but I guess there's no way to know or even estimate, right?

I managed to loose ~53 BTC too. I'm pretty sure a large percentage of bitcoin is gone forever.
