I won my round but it placed Bahrain in Pakistan which is rather a poor show. I only got one more than 400km out. Luckily there was nothing Russian otherwise I'd be in trouble.

I've been reading this thread in horror, and my understanding is that it's not clear exactly how OP lost his coins. You seem to be saying it was an attack on his PC rather than some insider at Google, right? And here I have to profess severe ignorance as to technical matters, but are you saying that even software wallets like Electrum aren't secure on PCs?
Why would any desktop wallet be secure? They're on a machine that attracts keyloggers, screen capture stuff, remote takeovers and clipboard malware. If you can type it or see it that means someone else can too. The sending address could be changed, someone might be watching you when it gives you the seed or when you reenter it, they might capture your passwords and empty the wallet. Electrum with a hardware wallet is fine. Electrum on a wiped and air gapped machine that never sees the internet is fine. I've never understood why anyone recommends any Windows PC based wallet for a connected machine. You never know what'll be hiding.

To be perfectly honest, while I consider myself pretty well informed, and I could 100% identify all mainline Middle East nations, you get up into the former Soviet "inistan"s or into central Africa and I'm going to start guessing.
I'll bet each president of the 'stans has an official Hand Guider for such occasions as they're just as confused as anyone else.

Around two thousand Americans were recently asked to locate Iran on a map... I wouldn't be surprised if it were only slightly behind most other populations. The majority of dots are heading in the right direction. I'd like to meet the American who believes 80 million Iranians live on Tristan da Cunha. That's a squeeze.

Whether was a man in the middle attack (stealing the plain text info that was transmitted) or someone at google i dunno but sending such critical info as passwords or seed words plaint text, no matter how you dont want to see it, its a critical security flaw and the fault is on the developer not the user, just like with the non activated SSL connection on ther android wallet (if i recall right).
Agreed. But in this case the likelihood of this particular loss being a common or garden PC hijack is infinitely higher than what is OP claiming. It's important their shitty practices get highlighted and addressed. It's everything that's come after I don't buy.

Sure, you look like you've read the story It's not Coinomi's technical flaw I doubt. It's the idea of a little caretaker in the Google server centre idly browsing the trillions of words per minute pouring in during his tea break, spotting the seed and thinking 'I'll fuckin' have some of that'. If you have a wallet on a PC, any wallet, if someone's already on there then whatever is typed and displayed is already in plain text waiting to be taken away.

early entrants of a ponzi never complain.
Early exiters. And there are hardly any of those. They ride it into the ground just like everyone else having been shown glittering numbers.

Just noticed there is a third statement of warith
I thought it was a load of bollocks at the time and I still do. OP's story, that is. The simplest option is that using any wallet on any Windows PC is a licence to get boned. And it happened to OP just like thousands of others.

But at what profits would you be looking to sell? What would the price you purchased versus the price you sold ratio need to be before you would consider selling?
61,000% will do for me. Because I'm worth it.

Sometimes is better just to remove shitposts... "If bitcoin fall to 1 dollar that means there will be lots of other coins that thay price will go to moon... And than ill sell all of them for bitcoins and be very rich" ..than to go WTF every time you check your own posting history It's all part of the journey. If someone admitted to going through all their own early posting and reediting to make themselves look cool I'd regard them as a vastly bigger and vain twat than someone who left their early drivel in place.

CLOSE THE CBOE FACTORY, YOU WILL BE ATTENDED! Your type makes me bark! BAM BASKET SMALL PEPBEPT WITH HOMEBOOK !!!
I'm pretty sure writing something that sickening is illegal in most oblasts.

It's a 100% worthless user with one single purpose - spread and sustain a lie.
If it was subtle or passionate or simply defended its belief, or orders, that would be what it would be.
Instead it's mindless, hysterical and tries everything it can think of to keep its shit train rolling.
It should be given the boot.

So you have problems with people treating you like this?
As long as I remain in Britain with my fellow, slightly limited in size, brethren this is not a problem. Abroad, that's what we have the Royal Navy for. But the ships never get too close to other nationalities so they can never quite figure out the real scale.

Time to take an alternative action elsewhere!
Someone should start a thread that matches that one in the same section and fans should keep posting so it's always one post above it. Perhaps - [ANN] [BSV] [Bitcoin SV] Original Satoshi Vision IS A CROCK OF SHIT

I'll sell 50% of it if and when 50% of it reaches a certain figure in my local currency. Not sure how much that is yet but way above where it is at present. The percentage of gain is irrelevant and I can't remember what I laid out for it all now anyway.
I'm finding the boom/bust thing tiresome now and would rather be observing future ones with a vastly greater degree of detachment.

Not a problem, just funny.
You wouldn't say that to the top of my head. And if you pat it we're going to have very serious problems.

Oh god, that video confirms every stereotype about the British and how they look.
That we're all 3ft high and wear pink? Where is the problem with that?

Damn dude, grandma dying sure took its toll on you.
She was my only heroin connection. The slut croaked and left me high and dry with a raging addiction. Man was I jonesing even during that performance but this guy got me through with some amyl nitrate.

lol I can not believe in my eyes You like videos like that? I don't mean to be impolite, but I can't even listen to the end of this video, this music makes me uncomfortable I prefer softer ballads rather than choir music. Show some goddamn respect for the dead. I'm the lead singer in that video.

Thank gawd you're alright uncleD, was worried about that scud missile hitting your face. Poor missile apparently. Don't you worry about me. It takes more than a 500lb warhead smacking me in the face and detonating in the vestibule to remove my reassuring presence. And no one ever really dies. My moans about Chaturbate tokens being too much will always be there to comfort you despite my body melting into the chair and the residue oozing through the ceiling to eventually alert someone a couple of years down the line. When I'm officially steam cleaned off the floor play this in tribute and play it FUCKING LOUD - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuKOfhCEVVk
