By default, the Bitcoin client sends out whatever coins would cost the least in transaction fees. That usually means the oldest and largest deposits will be used to send out coins whenever a customer withdraws from their account.
That's not right. The Satoshi client tries to use the smallest value of inputs possible. It doesn't try to minimise transaction fees, or select coins based on age, with the exception that it will avoid using coins with less than 6 confirmations if possible. If you have 101 1 BTC coins, and one 110 BTC coin, all of which have over 6 confirmations, and you try to spend 100 BTC then it will use the 101 1 BTC coins, not the single large coin. You'll get 1 BTC back in change. |

[...] the deal is 50/50. i.e. you get back half of what you are owed, and the other half (if recovered) goes to offset costs [...]
What if you only recover 50% of what is owed? Do you get it all, or is anything you get back split 50/50? |

The banner between you two looks like: "INST ANT TRANSFERS" I don't know how you generated it, but the kerning is all wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KerningMost design programs will adjust the inter-character spacing for you automatically to make it look better, like this:  |

Interango will prevail.
At just before midnight, Saturday night I transferred some money to Intersango using my UK bank's online banking site. Just after 3:30am Sunday morning I got an email from Intersango to say the funds had arrived. I was amazed. 3.5 hours in the early hours of Sunday morning. Outside of banking hours. How does that happen? I thought I'd have to wait at least until Monday morning. |

what's your estimated time between hacks?
No CSRF protection... I'd say 2 months. There are now CSRF protection on Laybit, estimated time between hacks = zero? Higher is better. (and it's 4/20) |

Dooglus (Chris right?),
Assuming you still have FTP access to the server, you can get a copy of the SQL database which it runs off. This will have all the information you need. If you can view the files assuming you programmed them, look in the config or the database class for the username and password. Then run flat selects from all of the main tables into flat file dumps.
Happy to help with this as the code is all opensource and as you know I'm a developer.
It's Chris, yes. As I wrote before, my login access to the exchange's web host was disabled some time ago, but I was left with admin access to the exchange webapp: 5. Although my login to the web host is no longer working, my login on the exchange is still an administrator account. This is confusing; if Andre was trying to lock me out of the exchange then leaving me an account with admin privileges seems like an oversight.
which Andre confirmed here: 4. Yes i locked you out as i had to minimise further risk to the Exchange Database and code, sorry Chris its nothing personal i am just protecting my self and WBX client information.
I have dumps of the database content, the most recent of which is dated 5th March 2012. After that I could no longer log in to the web host to get access to the database, but I could still view and save user balances and transaction statements using the admin interface of the website itself. |

Thanks for the transparency i appreciate it, please return users BTC using this forum or however you think is a open way in doing so safely, You still have Admin access to WBX and i will not change this until all BTC is returned also you can view the user database i left that open for that reason.
Andre, the problem is that until you know how many dollars you are going to be able to get back from the banks, you don't know what the total assets of WBX are. And so you don't know what percentage of the liabilities you will be able to repay. I propose holding on to the BTC until the situation with the bank becomes clear. Do you agree? Chris, I agree, this is worst case scenario and i would like for everyone to receive a full refund of there funds but unfortunately i cannot guarantee it at this stage, as soon as i get a clear conformation from my bank what is returned then the process of distributing assets will commence, I will keep you updated here. Andre As shown here, I was under the impression that I would be left with admin access until the BTC I'm holding were able to be returned to users. I've not heard anything that contradicts this, but yet here's my account as it looks today.  An admin account would have a red "unfreeze" link in the header and would have the option of allowing me to see any or all user statements not just my own, like it did last time I saved a copy of it back in March:  |

Dooglus, are you able to provide records to substantiate account balances should this go to court? I have screenshots, but given that these can be photoshopped, it would be good to have more substantial evidence. Also, I am looking into buying other peoples debt so that it justifies the cost of pursuing legal action. I need to make sure that I can collect on debt obtain through voucher transfer subsequent to the halting of trading. Again, I am keeping screenshots, but the definite record of this is run by WBX.
I'm sorry to say that I no longer have admin access to the exchange. I don't know when my account stopped being an admin account, but I just logged in to check that I could still see balances before telling you that I could, and found that I no longer can. The most recent copy of the statement for all users I have is from "2:14:54pm 20-Mar", server time, and the most recent copy of user balances is from "2:13:48pm 20-Mar" server time. So some time in the last month my account was downgraded from an admin account to a regular one. |

Do we have any evidence that High Net Worth Property Pty Ltd has/had anything to do with Andre?
I've not been able to find an official list of the company directors.

I was trying to make the article somewhat future-proof (and had to keep it simple), so I didn't delve into nuances like this.
It's better to say nothing about wallet safety than to say things you know are factually incorrect and dangerous. |

|

The article still says "You only need to back up the wallet file once at the beginning".
That's untrue, and dangerous advice.

the question is: where did they got my email from (ok thats not that hard): but how did they know i have a login there?
maybe its just a pissed employee
I got the email too and don't have an OKPAY account. Maybe it was sent to every address from the MtGox and/or Intersango email list leaks. Here's how my copy looked. It was CC'ed to me, and sent to myadultweb@gmail.com. Received: by 10.112.1.41 with SMTP id 9csp144016lbj;

Hello,
I want to warn you that OKPay is scam payment processor.
They were fine while I was making small transfers, but as soon as my
balance reached 11000 USD, they blocked it.
And it's blocked since August last year.
Stay away from OKPAY!

Looks to me like you can expect to pay out 78.44% of all you receive in the long run.

I knew this was going to bite me some day. My PyQt book spends a lot of time setting colors based on the user's palette, but it's a lot of extra work!
If you just don't set the background colour, it defaults to something quite readable. I set WltMine and WltOther to be None in and it made things look a lot better. I got a couple of error messages though. |

When I click "receive bitcoins" a dialog pops up asking "send from wallet...".
I'm trying to receive, not send.
You have to tell it what wallet you want to receive the funds into. EDIT: Oh. I misread that the first time. Are you trying to say that the dialog should read "receive to wallet..." or something like that? Yes. Maybe just "select wallet" if you want it to be the same in both cases. But showing "send from wallet" when I'm picking a wallet to receive the funds is just misleading. |

I just installed armory for the first time. It's almost impossible to read some of the text in tables due to the 'white on white' colour scheme. Can you read the wallet ID?  It would be better if the background of text in tables used a colour that contrasts with the foreground colour of the user's theme. By way of comparison, here's how highlighting looks in the Satoshi client. Line 2 of 5 is highlighted:  |
