Got hacked my ass. I lost over 500 Onion when I try to send them to that webwallet. The website was bugged as hell since I was able to create 2 accounts with the same email adress.
Probably the owner who "hacked it" and ran away with all your coins.
Good riddance.

Yea, a little suspicious that the wallet goes up for a few weeks and disappears with no communication.  I set one up and mined maybe 2-coins to it just to check it out so I didn't really lose anything, but I feel bad for those who set it up as their primary wallet.  Lesson learned there I guess.

Sadly, this is the risk of an online wallet. People don't have control of the coins. Was the story true? Who knows, but they did offer 24/7 staking, which probably gave more people an incentive to use them. Good selling point, but not worth the risk.
