All your defence is bullshit to anyone who wants their money/coin back , you say I don't have the facts If you know everything , pray tell... Disclosure is necessary when the customers have been defrauded in the change of ownership deal Perhaps you are one of them and as such don't appreciate such questions being asked ?  Disclosure is not necessary when it could potentially reveal to the opposition what the game plan is. FYI, I lost 2.8 BTC as well. I am missing 12.  So correct me if any of this is wrong the original BTC theft takes places one guy gets all the blame the owners apologize and promise to return all the other altcoins and the remaining bitcoins not stolen. The website now redirects to a 'withdrawal tool' process that doesn't appear to work for anybody. The facts as I know them : 1. No one has had any of their coins returned regardless of whether they are part of the unlucky stolen bitcoins or not... why not? 2. There has been absolutely no communication whatsoever from Mintpal to their customers about any developments, progress anything they have all our emails yet we have heard nothing still.....why not? 3. The company was bleeding cash fast I'm still waiting on BC myself another coin 'unaffected' by this scam supposedly I think hitting the media hard would help put pressure on those involved.... This story is ridiculous. I haven't lost anything, but if i did, why not hit local media, newspapers, more blogs and online media coverage. It's a huge fraud, that is clearly abusing the system to get away. The news are leeches,they will at least help spread the word about the fuckery of the situation. This guys face should be on dart boards by now. The problem with that is that most medias already consider cryptocurrencies to be scammy at best, and would have no interest in talking about yet another "mt-gox style" fraud. Defiantly could be true. I was thinking more of local stations to raise awareness on a micro level. Those guys always need new content and seem to respond to the majority of any story really. Either way GL. |

Well, here's the reply: Hello,
I'm sorry for the delay in response. I've looked into your address and it is not flagged for a security error. If you have no other bitcoin addresses contained in your wallet, then your login credentials may have been compromised. You may have some type of malware on your computer that resulted in your funds being stolen, because your private information was somehow obtained. One of the most common types of these are browser extensions posing as bitcoin price tickers that are actually stealing your account information. There's also the possibility that you visited a phishing site posing as blockchain.info. Scammers send out phishing emails all the time posing as big named companies with the intention of stealing your login credentials. Using TOR to connect to your wallet could also result in a malicious exit node tricking your connection into appearing encrypted, but they are secretly stealing the information without you knowing.
By design, Blockchain.info never has access to users' accounts or bitcoins (more details here: https://blockchain.info/wallet/how-it-works). If you keep your password and private key backups secure, then your bitcoins are safe with blockchain.info. Since this information has been compromised, be sure to never use this wallet or addresses contained within it. I'd also highly advise against using the same password again. Sorry again that you had funds stolen from you. That certainly must be an extremely frustrating experience.

I can't help you out financially, I am so far in the negative myself, but if there is anything I can do to assist in another way let me know. I am so sick of seeing people scmamed every morning. Security needs to change =( Thanks for the concern, offer of help and advice mate but don't worry, I didn't lose a lot.....quite a small amount really. You sound like a good person. That's nice of you thanks. To be honest I am just tired of seeing innocent people get screwed over. I sit here all day promoting cryptocurrencies, It kind of leaves you feeling responsible when the people you are promoting this stuff to are get their coins taken =( Glad you didn't lose much friend. |

of course. 95% of coins are greedy and unclean.
The altcoins i found to be clean or reasonably clean (no premine, no scam, open source, good history, active community, legit crypto and no doubts about it) in Top 100 are:
-Litecoin
-Megacoin
-Unobtanium
-Namecoin
-Peercoin
-Primecoin
-Feathercoin
-Dogecoin
-Reddcoin
-Vertcoin
-Bitmark
i think those are the ones that will survive for longer time. Possible i forgot a hand full of coins. The list is my personal conclusion based on own research. Others may disagree.
The majority especially the greed/ripoff/unfair-coins will have a hard time. It is no problem for me since i was investing in ethical coins only all the time.
All this shenangians we see currently is not of interest to me and won't affect the legit coins i am holding. In fact the legit coins will benefit from it.
hahah these coins are finished, btw vert coin and reddcoin also pulled some scam in the beginning, these cons are just you holding fag. Also all these shenanigans are being pulled by bitcoin and litecoin supporters aswell, they are the veterans of trolling other coins Since getting involved with cryptocurrency, Bitcoin has always been the goto. Dogecoin is the ALT that got me involved and seems to beopne of the only strong alts with aw community to support it... Also decent merchant interation. And Vericoin, the team behind the coin seem to actually care and work towards mainstream adoption.. I see strong alts as marketing for Bitcoin in the end. But I have faith in Dogecoin and VRC as well. Sometimes it seems counterproductive to be marketing new ALT coins with all these features when nobody understands bitcoin. Alt's seem to appeal to daytraders and the niche market of those already bitcoin ready. |

The bank manager who wouldn't let me open an account for a Bitcoin-related, state and federally compliant business does. Everyone views Bitcoin politically, especially the people not on this forum.
Name one person you know that is not aware of breast cancer.
Your bank manager probably doesn't even know how Bitcoin works. He's doing his job and following company policy. The reason people in general don't think of Bitcoin politically is because they don't give bitcoin a second thought. It's just that scam money they see on TV. Before all of my friends started laughing at me for using Bitcoin I was attempting to explain it to them. I would tell them it's electronic money like WoW Gold but for real life. Because my friends aren't 15 or nerds trapped behind a keyboard they all said, "what's WoW Gold". They don't even know what that is. Unfortunately, most people learn about Bitcoin from the news. The news doesn't explain to them what it is and it definitely doesn't teach them about the political ramifications of adopting Bitcoin in the long run. If you want to find out how stupid people are about Bitcoin watch some of the presentations Andreas has given to political figures and listen to the stupid questions they ask. If politicians, who's job it is to know, don't understand Bitcoin do think the average dumbass understands it? Yeah, whatever. You laid that out perfectly. The world on here is so removed from how technically inapt the average joe is. The biggest Q from my friends "I don't want to buy a full bitcoin"... Well no shit, that's why you buy $20 worth, BUT that's an example of the gap. Average joe shmoe jon doe doesn't know that he can buy 0.01. It's these very tiny short comings that leave everyone confused thinking it's a scam. When i visit my hometown buddies they always say "Bitcoin crashed hey" (Keep in mind I am basing this off very educated people). People just aren't finding legitimate information, the news isn't interested if it's not negative, and the financial companies with the advertising power want it gone.. blahblahblah When all you hear is about a scam, and frauds, and crashes, i don't think the average joe becomes interested in doing his/her own research. Slowly but surely. |

Alright, since the general consensus is that stealing bitcoins is illegal.
If I discontinue the use of communication with said person (from a way that can be linked back to my IP address) and continue the conversation on an anonymized, encrypted email, with TOR, a VPN, and tails, and then execute said plan, law enforcement would have no way to prove that it was me who committed the crime and I would not be held accountable due to lack of evidence that it was me, correct?
I hope whoever you are fucking over holds you personally accountable for the worth of every dollar. People like you need to dissapear. Well he does bring up a very good point. If you are dealing with someone who is anonymous to you then you should assume that he is anonymous overall and should take the associated precautions when trading with such person Absolutely, everyone should do their research, and the people who don't, get scammed. That being said I have no love for someone who makes profit solely based on fucking people from the community over. It's dumb. If you want to make some money on the black market get someone who's in the BS industry you're in, better yet, give a shot at starting a legitimate website or business. Preying on innocent people as a source of revenue is bitch work, nothing more. |
