Send a signed message from an address that is/was associated with that account to Theymos.
if you can't prove ownership of an address associated, don't even try it, you will just waste your time and the teams time.
Hey thank you for trying to help me. I am a bit confused when you say a signed message? My hacked account shows the last login on it at 2:03 pm today. and my email address is hidden I assume by whom ever hacked me. I do have personal messages PM's in my associated Hotmail account, too my and from my BCT account that got hacked. I could some how forward that or something else to prove who I am. ok, Please clarify what I should send him. THX No, please reread what I wrote. You absolutely NEED TO sign a message with a bitcoin address associated to your account. This address can be in a post or a PM, you just need to provide a link to it. Just google " how to sign a bitcoin message" |

The discussion will surely happen, but in the meantime everyone else will focus on the poop being flung by all the monkeys that aren't a part of that committee (I include myself!) heh
I think that controversy is good to raise awareness. Even if this might hurt the "imgae" of the developer team and BTC in general, the overall effect in the end will be very positive. |

Create a Bitcoin folder on %appdata% and put the wallet.dat there.
Did exactly this and Pywallet could scan 3 of my wallets, (all empty bitcoin wallets ...) So the rest would be corrupted? Is there any documentation about the wallet.dat file format, or do I have to read the code to understand it? You should check them for CLAM[1], maybe the wallet had something left when they were distributed. [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623147.0Yes, but I think he is far away from the point of even accesing them in the first place. |

my frnds invest their money on a bank which pays 8% per year....lolz...and they says it is 100% safe hahahaha.....i bet that is surely safe :-P
If a bank is paying 8% for anything in this time of rates, they are taking enourmous risks. I am talking headge fund or atleast direct stock investments. Supposedly interest rates in Aus are a lot higher than in the west. Many are claiming their banks offer 4-6% for savings accounts, for example. I'm not familiar with their insurance policies though. I see. In that case they must have some strongly devaluating currency for the interest rate parity to hold true. |

Gold is a better option and safer as well. Bitcoins has seen a rise of $1000 to a fall of $220 and so it is very risky to invest in bitcoins. Investment is gold is better as of now looking at the current price.
you could argue the same way about bitcoin. The overall performance in the last 5 years is way better for bitcoin and we are 80% from the peak. |

CEX.io has an option to buy with credit card, so they say I haven't tried it. I can't recommend it but you can also look into it if your still interested in this approach.
If it is just a question of getting coins with CC, then circle and amazon4btc might be options too. |

Well Mirceas war declaration isn't a big reason as he is offended fast. But Peter Todd has a good point. Security is the most important point and everything needs to be discussed before taking any step at all. |

Companies like Coinbase only charge a very low fee - it's definitely annoying for a few people, but they need to have a very high rate of legitimate users (I guess >99%) to be profitable.
This is only one reason. A high rate of fraud will really put a damper on the relationships they have with banks. |

Pywallet should work for Bitcoin but not for the others, also you can only extract things if unencrypted or you know the PW.

Oh wow. I didn't know that. But this seems to be only locally because pretty much everyone in europe is still doing it.
There are too few alternatives today to really enforce such a law anyway imo.

Caveat: SHA256 broken==blockchain corrupted--your BTC transferred ta hax0r's wallet--irreversible. You can hardfork the ashes all you want, your money's gone. Poof! Fini. You need to work in your FUD. Your scenario is less incorrect for ECDSA than it's incorrect for SHA256. lol Dude! Been waiting for you to show up! Did you actually produce this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cIasr2AiyZ0 lol no..  saw when it had like 2 views and I just thought shit more people need to see this lol yeah I am highly involved in an alt but that video is gold regardless!! Lol Lol, that video is on par with Hitler, maybe even better. Whoever made that has great timing and nuance. Couldn't stop laughing myself! It really is. Spot on description. Cripti and Sys must be celebrationg that video |

i suggest you do some research about trading altcoins with your bitcoin. BUT if you want to jump in without enough information and knowledge you will surely lose more money than you earn. but if learn the ways, the earning is good.
EVen the "pros" that claim to "Beat" the altcoin markets either only do it by manipulating the market or the flat out lie about their results. The problem is that there is so much variance and people are really bad in distingushing results into skill and variance. |

I found this in their terms and conditions about accounts that never withdraw fiat.
Registered members of whom transactions only involve virtual currencies are not required to have their identities verified (subject to change in the future).
Bitstamp suddenly started requiring verification to make withdrawals. If you cannot provide all they ask for then your funds are trapped if they do a ninja change of their terms and conditions.
The problem is not the exchange but the regulatory environment they operate in. They would love to not have any customer data, but that isn't how it works. Sadly i don't use any exchange that requires that much info. this is what i accept: - PostIdent (though..maybe only in germany? dont know) - Deposit from a bank account in my country its not allowed to make a photo from your passport and submit it (but there are exceptions for bank - bitfinex is not a bank). Its forbidden? What country if I may ask? |

So whats the verdict ? Why did they cancel the orders and don't allow buying BTC ? I still don't get it, didn't they provide an explanation on how to fix this ?
The verdict is that they cancelled the orders for no reason and refunded the money after holding it for a week. I am pretty sure they didn't cancel those orders to profit from the exchange rate difference. There must be some kind of deeper reason behind this? I can't say why they cancelled the order, but I can say that every verification was completed and I don't think anything could have been done differently that would have made this order successful. The problem here will be that they work with a "zero mistake" policy. So even if they canceled it on accident and it was indeed a legit order (which it looks to be), they will never admit that. |

Instead of answering, I would like to advice you that rather going for opinions where you are assured to get varieties, I would prefer to research myself and do the investment at my own consent, so not to be able to blame anybody.
I had to reread your sentence multiple times, because I really thought you advised him to invest into option contracts  Researching yourself is always the best idea. |

i feel like bitcoin mixing is a beautiful word for money laundering. it certainly looks and feels like it though. which is absolutely illegal everywhere.
If you reuse your addresses often this could greatly increase anonymity. I'll agree on the point of it generally being used for laundering and theft. I think you meant to say 'decrease' anonymity  No doubt mixers are used for laundering etc but I don't think we should associate them all with criminality. It's increase, is it not? Unfortunately it's the sad truth that we have to associate bitcoin and mixers with criminals. It's something that occurs naturally now. I don't think it is associated in such a way. Most people have simply never heard of it and would not be able to explain what it is originally for. |
