Title: How expensive is it to steal bitcoins? Post by: bb113 on September 09, 2012, 06:37:42 PM If someone wanted to attain 20k bitcoins would they be better off paying hackers or exchange operators than buying them? Obviously using these alternative methods carries more risk.

They couldn't guarantee their scheme would work. Title: Re: How expensive is it to steal bitcoins? Post by: Uhlbelk on September 09, 2012, 10:25:08 PM Pay the top 3 mining pool operators to work together for more then 51% hash power? Manipulate the stocks at Mt Gox (or pay them off as well) to get the price of BTC up past the point of what you paid them or promised.......... etc...
Title: Re: How expensive is it to steal bitcoins? Post by: phantastisch on September 09, 2012, 10:58:18 PM It is easy to steal Bitcoins.
1. Make an Bitcoin-Investment Site. 2. Promise at least 7 % Interest Rate Weekly. 3. After you think you got enough, say you defaulted and vanish. 4. ????? 5. Profit. Title: Re: How expensive is it to steal bitcoins? Post by: Foxpup on September 09, 2012, 11:02:26 PM If you want to steal bitcoins, just pay 7% per week, then stop paying when you've stolen enough to buy a private island in the Carribean. The best part is, the victims won't even suspect their bitcoins are stolen.
EDIT: Note to self: type faster. Title: Re: How expensive is it to steal bitcoins? Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on September 09, 2012, 11:23:19 PM 1. Start an exchange.
2. At the right moment, put all the coins in a hot wallet. 3. Remove coins, and claim hacked. 4. $$$ 5. Repeat & Rinse, for your following will demand that you get back up and running ASAP. What's sad about the above humorous scenario? It's all true. ~Bruno~ Title: Re: How expensive is it to steal bitcoins?

Title: Re: How expensive is it to steal bitcoins? Post by: Dabs on September 16, 2012, 08:34:28 AM They'd sell bitcoin for less because they stole it. How? They won't tell you. Maybe they hacked someone's account or something. But hackers or crackers would just sell it for less on an exchange and have it done almost automatically than go to a buyer.

Some hackers have been known to give the hacked coins away for free. At least some of them. BTC-e.com hacker was apparently just giving them away to people in the chat window.

Obviously using these alternative methods carries more risk. I know a guy who knows a guy who could actually get you 7% interest per week for Bitcoins. Contact me if you need more information about it. |
