good stuff  how are we going to determine the "stolen coins" have been returned? Moreso, why would anyone trust a jobless tard like Atlas to pay for them when he loses since he's wriggled out of every single bet he has lost to date on these forums. He's just a self-important. Ignore and move on. lol "jobless tard like atlas" you aren't claiming this is atlas are you ? don't get banned matthew  |

They aren't getting their coins back.
Don't expect the government to look out for you and don't expect the community to refund you when you fail to keep up your security; especially when it comes to large amounts of Bitcoins. This money can't be printed out of thin air and the police aren't going to do hard-core online investigations for free.
All businesses are on their own in the Bitcoin realm. We might as well get use to it.
Security can get to the point to where any security breach results in minimal loss. Offline wallets with manual approval seems to be the course to go. Bayesian transaction approval could also be made -- for a significant cost.
You will get your hand held when we get a security standards agency and when its respective software is released. Until then, this isn't PeeWee's Playhouse.

Seems like somebody is selling a great deal of coins right now on your market MtGox, giving the rapid price decrease. A few robberies have occurred lately on Linode involving Slush's pool, The Faucet, Bitcoinica and others, so those great amounts of coins could be theirs. So i'm asking you guys, please, for the community's best interest, provide some public info or investigate on the issue and give those people a chance to recover their money somehow. I know this could damage the profits you could make right now but you will get our appreciation in long term and keep having the great reputation you have. As far as we can tell the Bitcoin sold on Mt.Gox are not stolen ones and there are few chance that these coins will be ever sold via our network/Mt.Gox maybe, I'm a little slow - but then whats the point of stealing bitcoins if not to cash out ? for the lulz ? Or to cause panic, epic CIA style. Seems to be working, according to how the market is behaving right now. Actually, don't put it pass the CIA to try to drive bitcoin right down the tube into oblivion.... |

I know this could damage the profits you could make right now but you will get our appreciation in long term and keep having the nice reputation you have now. Bad idea. Making the info public would spook the fish. Better to discretely monitor the suspicious transactions with meticulous accounting. An investigation is almost certainly underway. Well someone really nail one of these thieve(s) for once ?  It really would do the bitcoin community a lot of good if we actually caught some of these people make people think twice about doing it. |

Come on, stop spreading FUD. There is NO WAY IN HELL that the guy can cash out so quickly. Think of daily withdrawal limits, ID verification, coin tracing, and so forth.
My guess? Disheartened noobs cashing out because of loss of faith in the system. All the more coins for me!
Yeah, it's more likely market panic. The price is dropping Not going to lie I got a little shaken also ...uggh... |

Watch MTGOX, Im telling you someone is dumping these coins right now.
The limit for withdrawal is 10K USD for verified account, and he would need to pass fake information to MtGox's money laundering office. So the thief would need to create multiple accounts, multiple identity or compromise several mtgox accounts. If Mark isnt aware of watching for this, he might just let this guy withdraw all the funds over a few days, Im not sure what the endgame is however some individual(yes it was way to coordinated, watch the graphs) solely dumped just over 20k BTC allready. The thinking is as someone told me on another thread is these thief(s) steal Bitcoin and spend bitcoin at silkroad etc., etc., which seems totally stupid to me then again I'm not a thief. What again happened the allinvain person again - did that thief cash out the BTC at the $10,000 a mo. @ Mt.Gox ? |

Well they're kinda right, considering bitcoin is most known for its use in the drug trade and child pornography circles its really not a surprise that they decided to steer well clear of any concept like this.
what is the point of being associated with bitcoin if your going to make retarded statements like this ? |

This is right . Why not catch the thief at this part of the chain? |

One good argument for why Google will be tempted to add Bitcoin to its ecosystem, is that it would hurt Facebook/FB Credits considerably. Google+ needs to throw everything it can at the Facebook behemoth, and undermining the new FB currency with an open p2p currency would be significant. AFAIK, Google isn't intending to make a new currency, but rather a super-useful wallet system. And what better way to make a wallet useful than to accept the currency of tomorrow, today.  this is correct ^^ could be a game-changer for Google to challenge F.B in this area. |

In this case, encryption would have protected the wallet because the attacker was only able to get root access after a reboot.
AND mutlisignature AND low amount of BTC in your hot wallet in case your defense in depth got bypassed. this ^^ |

Yea, that is a reason to remain 'low profile'. But the faucet...yea, that just doesn't make sense. 5, 20 or 100 coins, grabbing from the faucet will hurt the end game.
Now we are getting somewhere. Hacker works for the CIA? Or, more likely, hacker works for a large bank or collection of banks? Stealing from the faucet is terrorism, plain and simple. Call the federales. The last few replies mention allinvain and CIA - anyone seen allinvain? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Couple of ways to look at it. One Allinvain worked for the CIA and wanted to make it look like there was a "huge bitcoin" loss or two the CIA off'd Allinvain since nobody has heard from him in what like a thousand years? Or taken him to the brig off at sea.... |
