Title: Proof that I was not a troll, just a stupid jerk!!! Post by: lost in the wild on June 14, 2011, 03:34:28 AM Last Friday (US CDT), I made a post here accusing MtGox of losing my BTC and Transaction History (see http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=14881.0 ).
Some called me a troll and other took me at face value and offered possible suggestions. I later posted in http://reddit.com/r/MtGox a link back to the Bitcoin Forum thread. MtGox did not lose any bitcoins of mine. They did not lose any Transaction History. Instead, I am an idiot. I had somehow suceeded in creating two MtGox accounts where the userid differed by one letter. About an hour ago, MagicalTux finally had the time to respond to e-mail for help and pointed out my error, in a gracious and non-judgemental way. My btc are there. My transaction history is there. And I'm considering crawling into a hole and never posting again. My biggest regret is that my stupidity corrresonded with the dwolla issues that meant it took so long for MagicalTux to point out how stupid I was. He didn't say so, but there was every indication that he was satisfied to leave the resolution private. Given how much I went out of my way to make an ass of myself, I am not comfortable with that. I do have one request of the Bitcoin Forum admins, if it is possible: I did not reply to my original post because I did not want to bring it to the front page. However, if there is a way to place a pointer to this post in that thread without bringing it out of the obscurity I would love to see it remain in, that would be great. If it were also possible to change the thread title to include "I was wrong: " at the beginning, I would be grateful. I cannot praise the muted response from MagicalTux enough. I hope he is able to hire some people to deal with the e-mails and respond to idiots like me, so he can actually spend time on important matters.

Post by: cypherdoc on June 14, 2011, 04:03:49 AM its amazing just how suspicious we all are of him. even i was at the beginning. and i continue to see posts posted regularly of his supposed nefarious activities.
but i can tell u the more i've dealt with him, and i have with large amts of money, he has always come thru. amazing what he's accomplishing all by himself.

I respect that. Title: Re: Proof that I was not a troll, just a stupid jerk!!!
