I don't think the thread is dead, there are just not any buyers for the price you are asking.

I had to connect my tablet to the internet to download the bitcoinpaperwallet page. For some reason, it just didn't work transferring it via USB pen drive from my laptop. But once the bitcoinpaperwallet page was downloaded, I then went offline to generate the addresses & that tablet will never be online again. As I've said before, even if a virus managed to get onto the tablet in the few minutes I was online, I presume it couldn't do any harm if that tablet is never online again.
Well as long as bitaddress.org.html has not been tampered with, then are you right. I read somewhere that most keyloggers dont pick up the input from onscreen-keyboard, so I asume that a tablet is a bit more "safe" than a desktop PC. |

6^62 is is a pretty big number. I would be comfortable with that. I believe that the most important thing is that you have not exposed your private key (or input string) to the internet, meaning generated the key completely offline, also made sure that bitaddress.org.html has not been tampered with. Edit: I actually like the method on redit (thanks for the link), because the 62 digit base6 number can be used for seed to generate new paper wallets (with same high entropy). But what the heck, rolling a dice 99 do not take that long. |

I don't know how they're claiming to be anything but a bunch of dirty scumbag thieves.
About two hours after they announced this, I made the mistake of depositing around 5 BTC to Vircurex. There was not a single notice, warning or any other notification anywhere on the login, deposit, or trading pages. Even checked the FAQ about deposit times, no warnings in there either. They created a new deposit address for me, please deposit away! Because I don't sit researching crypto news 24/7 I had no idea.
Then the money never shows up, I go researching, and see they've made this announcement, just not put any warnings on their own site (I did find an announcements page after the fact, but you have to look for it).
They've said customer deposits just won't be credited? Then in the same statement they say future deposits won't be affected?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Well that's almost 3 grand down the tube for me. After Gox as well - is anyone else getting sick of this? I'm seriously considering starting a bounty on the heads of these exchange guys. NOTHING ILLEGAL - just a bounty to use all LEGAL (common law) means to bring these guys to task for the money they are stealing. Mark 'finds' quarter of a million bitcoins? Vircurex take a new customers deposit and give it to old customers? It's our own fault as a community - I genuinely believe that - we have no 'teeth' & are all so concerned with making the next dollar that we allow people to manipulate and steal from us without making any effort to ensure those party to these things take responsibility for their actions.
Crypto will die because of these guys - and we all bear just as much responsibility for allowing it to happen.
It's not more than 4 month ago BIPS "lost" 1295 BTC - today I am still not convenience that it was a hack, how can you both loose everything in hot-wallets and cold-storage at in a "top modern high secure datacenter"... lot of talk about lawsuits back then... but nothing really happened, the owner walks away. Btw. I am sorry for your loss, I know how it feels, I have lost way to many bitcoins myself due to all these thieves. |

thanks everyone, I am using a brainwallet (well kind of). It's a very long string of dice-generated numbers.
If you roll a fair dice 99 time, you get more than 10^77 combination (if my math is correct), which is very-very good for a private key (one of the best method imo). But this is not a brain wallet in any way, unless you are planing of remembering all the numbers, and that would freak me out if you can remember a sting of 99 random base6 numbers! |

Pls do not send all ur bitcoins to a brainwallet u will lose it in less than 10secs
I am not a big fan of brain wallets either... I made my paper wallet completely offline and used large random number with very high entropy to generate the private key. The key has never been exposed to any networks. |

well, if Bitcoin increases in value as I'm sure we all hope it will, I have a figure in mind that I will sell it, so I intend to sell them all at once. Therefore, they might as well all be in 1 paper wallet. But I am now going to set up a separate wallet with a miniscule amount in it to practice with.
That is a great decision! The methods I have experimented with to redeem funds from paper wallets are: Mt. Gox - worked great, but is now dead. Blockchain-wallet - worked great, you can even scan a private key as QR code. mycelium (andriod) - worked great, you can even scan a private key as QR code. Bitcoin-QT - worked great (my favorite). Good luck  Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. |

not sure that I trust my knowledge of change wallets enough to do this. I'd prefer just to send all the BTC I have in each wallet at once; is there anything that could go wrong if I do this?
Sir, you really need to setup a wallet for testing, where you can experiment with transferring funds back-and-forward, transfer to paperwallet, import private keys. ect. This is very important to gain experience of what you can do and what you can't do - so you can be secure and comfortable in what you are doing. The time and money (the few tx-fee) is well spend, I promise you. Imagine that you 5 years from now dig out your paperwallet from your safe and want to redeem the funds, and it won't work because you made a newbee-mistake, that would really suck. |

Really Hope ur not sending btc to a brainwallet.
Better to send small amount first, and try accessing those bitcoin.
Agreed - First time using paper-wallets, make some test with small amounts to find good method for redeeming the funds. I think I made at least 4 different paper wallets (with 1 mBTC each) and tried redeeming the funds with different methods - before I felt comfortable enough making "my real paper wallet" and loading it will higher amount of funds. |

I am not part of this GB, but I just want to state that Studio1one is doing a great job here.
The communication and service is outstanding, we really need more people like him in the bitcoin community.
Please go at give positive trust to this guy if you agree with me and have risked BTC by ordering.

in my opinion they postponed by 24hrs the deadline for setting up the frozen accounts for the following 2 reasons:
1) frenzy trading is generating so many fees they never see in their life (which is good for increasing the btc to reimburse).
2) possibly they are even selling the alt with a 50% profit on market price, (which can also contribute to increase their reserve)
Yesterday, after the press release there was at some point more than 1000 LTC for sale @ 0.0250 (where the market value was 0.0279). A few hours later, that was at least down to 100 LTC... |

Similar here... took a loss trading out to DOGE that was trading at 50% more than the market price.
A 35% haircut is better than the 100% haircut that they seem to be proposing.
I think you made a good decision. I would have done the same if my funds was not stuck. |

19-Mar-2014 0.13876885 BTC Frozen/missing tx

I find it absolutely unacceptable that my email to customer "service" and/or PM to Kumala has not been answered after 5 days - I can see he has been online yesterday.

Fund is not frozen yet. You can still trade with the fund.
Well, that depends... I made a BTC redraw 19 Mar, was never executed completely (no tx id), I assume that the hot wallet was empty. Those funds stuck there can certainly not be used for trading (else would I have got em far away long time ago). |

Can anybody see their "frozen funds" in the interface yet?
My funds are still in floating in limbo...
|
|
|
|

I am getting pretty tired of giving my hard earned money away... for god sake I was only having the funds on the exchange briefly to cash my LTC... and now, gone.
