August 02, 2011, 07:02:26 am Tom Williams announces to the world that we was "in shock" for a few days because his site was hacked
i believe that in between the date the site went down and this post was posted. he sold all the bitcoin! and that's why bitcoin was slowly going down all week

I've been up way to long and can't make sense of this post, I will sleep and try again in the morning. good night maybe bitcoin go "Up Up Up" as you sleep sound in your bed

Maybe once he saw the posts about a bounty on his head, he got a little antsy. These geeks are some great detectives.
this wasn't clear... the bounty will be on the hacker of my bitcoin .. maybe thats Tom Williams him self, and maybe not .. the hacker may have boosted to some friends. one of these friend (or friends of friends) could be able to tell us who the hacker is. with a bounty out on his head it gives poeple intensive to come forward. and maybe we'll get the bitcoin back!

this means nothing..
so he going to declaring bankruptcy.
and then sell the stolen bitcoins!
|
|
|
We will settle all accounts with a online claim process that we are currently in the process of working out.
So he's now he has the money to pay everyone back? where did it all come from?

Bruce has done lots of good for proving bitcoin news but the last show i watched #34... i was a little disappointed. Bruce has lost some of his cheerfulness for bitcoin. he use to say its going to go "up up up!".... i miss that cheer up Bruce. a girl on the show! now that was cool! and she has some very positive news for bitcoin ... DERIVATIVES coming soon! another huge step forward.

wait a second. not sure how the bitbill bank card works... does bitbill hold the wallet.dat? if so then we would have to trust them. is this the case? maybe we should go for a simply offline wallet stored on a usb. this way we only have to trust Bruce.
A bank card is an offline generated public and private key, engraved on a metal card. No one has the wallet.dat file, since it never existed. After depositing money to the bank card, to get it out you have to scan the private key from the card and import it into a bitcoin wallet. The only way someone can steal bitcoin off of it is if Bruce has it on him, and gets mugged while walking around NY ya ok perfect that works

I believe the bitbill Bank Card is the best kind of security. just don't let anyone have access to it.
again i didn't lose any bitcoins in this ordeal, but it pissed me off hearing about it and i would add 1btc to the bounty.
the idea is having the bounty high enough so that the people close to the culprits provide information which lead to his capture or someone dose his own investigation to win the bounty
Backup, triple! wait a second. not sure how the bitbill bank card works... does bitbill hold the wallet.dat? if so then we would have to trust them. is this the case? maybe we should go for a simply offline wallet stored on a usb. this way we only have to trust Bruce.

I think it should be requirement that someone here holds the bounty themselves this show the world that bitcoin is trustworthy and slaps the naysayers in the mouth!
Bruce Wagner is someone here. he's one of us. I think hes the perfect candidate because we trust him, and if he ran away with the bounty money, we'd know where to find him.

Yeah, no problem. Just thought I'd throw my name out there to help, but it doesn't make a difference to me whether I hold it or not.
i don't care to hold them either, i didn't even have any bitcoin in mybitcoin.com, i just want to see some justice! and i think if we post a reward for catching this bad guy, we can get some results and make an example of him. we need this. we have to trust someone to hold the bounty wallet
|
|
|
I will commit 10 BTC to the bounty. However, unless a VERY reputable member steps up to escrow the coins for the bounty, I would rather hold them myself.
would you feel better if we had someone reputable like Bruce Wagner hold on to this bounty wallet?

Hey guys, can I help?
Get him!!
|
|

Hey guys, what's goin on in here?
Oh...
/backs out of thread
look omg we found him, TomWilliams posted the thread above! look damstgBit = Tom Williams! I found him. Seriously, just some random newbie is going to collect coins from people who want to find the guy who walked away with all their coins? The irony here is a little rich. LMAO i am not Tom Williams! you can look at my past threads, i'm all for bitcoin... but still no one has any reason, really, to trust me. maybe if the wallet was in Bruce Wagner's name you could trust he wouldn't take the money and run ....

ok wasn't sure if it was needed or not. i wanted to make sure everything was kosher... i wasn't going to take any chances thanks for the info the wallet is now offline
|

ok i have setup a wallet, which will remain offline on a usb key until the reward for "Tom Williams" is claimed
if you wish to donate to this bounty, post on the new thread 'Bounty for "Tom Williams"'s capture' and send your bitcoins to : 1CLgQM4RDPD7FPVhAXfEcvcCLtfFdFe4r
in the event that the Bounty is never claimed. we can discus how to use these funds to help bitcoin itself.

Maybe you wife got a hold of your password?
i know if my wife has my password she'd sell sell sell (on a down no less....)
|
|
|
any sensible exchange would BACKUP their wallet ....
or so one would think
|
|
|
we should pursue all avenues of investigation. starting with finding the person who paid for the hosting of the site.
maybe we should put a bounty on his head We can ask Bruce Wagner to setup a bitcoin wallet that we can all donate to. the more money is in this wallet the more intensive poeple have for coming forward. turn his friends against him using btc!
