You probably won't ever get your coins back. You might try to google the bitcoin address the coins went to but this is not really much hope. You can try to use walletexplorer.com to check out connections to other addresses and maybe find other addresses of that user.
There is no real bitcoin police. I think there was a chatroom, #bitcoinpolice or so but most probably they can't do anything if they exist at all anymore. Nothing official of course. Only some bitcoiners.
hmmm..... Is there have desire to be cyber police and protect bitcoiner There were some guys that tried to follow the trail of bitcoins to help bitcoiners that got scammed. Though when checking the amount of scams happening then they might have given up. You would have a better chance posting a scam accusation thread and hoping that some of the scam busters on bitcointalk will find a hint. Though the chances are slim. i think if there is cyber police. Bitcoiners will fill good, and they will safety. So not only some people have btc, but all of human have it, and we can do transaction every where withou chance our btc :-) You really should work on your english... otherwise it is hard to understand what you mean. Like I said there was an irc chatroom, something like bitcoin police or so. You might google for it. Though of course they were only private persons. At the moment it would be best to simply open a thread on here to get support. |

Ukyo then spent a few days putting together the site for users to login and recover a % of their funds. Ukyo did indeed make a portal that that payed back 6.175% to everyone. ( http://weexclaims.weexchange.co/) False statement is false. Though he did pay out that amount. I know that because I received such payment from him. The rest is missing and probably unrecoverable. |

Might be the wrong place for it, but I made a free escrow service and would appreciate being listed.  https://www.bithra.com/ (thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1456828.0) It has no fees, and it's completely automated (thus has no arbitration). It's designed to be the moral equivalent of 2-of-2 multisig, but easier to use (initiated completely by 1 party, and no public keys). Without public keys how can it be a multisig? And when your site is for escrow then where is the third key? Either you create multisig with a trader but then the other trader is missing or the traders do it on their own. But then what is your service for? |

Nearly two months again now. So that was it? The step by step for scammers worked fine? Well, it probably is the amount that is not so high. But still... damaging escrow services on bitcointalk in general and then living happily with some K USD more than before.  Yeah, that was it. Many people came in here to say that they live in Canada near him and can go and ask him, but no one helped out. Probably even those accounts were alts of master-P. Alright, so no updates? Guess not and Master-P is still happily playing games on steam and also probably on another bitcointalk account trying to execute another scam... 2.5 BTC lost. And there's absolutely nothing that I can do. Why not pay a small amount to let someone visit him for the start? His living address was not yet checked, right? It should not cost alot if someone living near him will do that and film the visit silently. |

Can you sign a message with a bitcoin address that satoshi owned? I can't really believe that since one would have to check past transactions from that address to prevent being scammed by a wrong signature.
Is it a risk at all?
No, that's not what Craig Wright did. He didn't actually sign anything. He just converted an old input to base64 to make it look like a signature. That's why no one (except the so-called "journalists") is buying it. So what gavin stated, like that he signed a message that he personally chose for him to sign, was a lie then? If true then Gavin fell deep. Not too sure about that message, as the "signature" for that one hasn't been made public (nor is it ever likely to be). Either there was a more elaborate ruse by Wright, or Gavin really wasn't paying attention and dropped the ball. I suspect Gavin (and Jon) got scammed by a prepared/staged hoax, though it is suspicious that Wright's comments show a strong bias and agenda that aligns with Jon and Gavin. But the failure to publicly publish a meaningful signature for ALL of us to verify to our own satisfaction makes it 99% certain this claim is rubbish. I thought about that possibility too. Though it would be a big conspiracy theory.  Assuming gavin and bitcoin classic should lose credibility then how about letting gavin claim that he found satoshie? He might have been scammes somehow, even though it is hard to imagine for me how this could be done, then let it do by someone openly support classic and then let t all die as a fake. Gavin would lose credibility, he lost already his status as core dev and that would be it... But I think that's too far fetched. |

That's why I'm not enabling a 2nd factor authentications.
That actually is not smart either. You only need to check all the claims of hacked accounts, I think on blockchain.wallet it happens often, and you could see how often this has proven as a bad error. Simply make backups of the code, make backups of your important files weekly and make backups of your harddiscs monthly. Store some in the cloud as encrypted truecrypt container, some on harddiscs outside the pc and so on. Better safe than sorry. But with not enabling you are at a good risk. I know it has higher risk if I'm not going to enable 2fa. But I just find it very time consuming to confirm your 2fa by your device and sometimes there's a delay of receiving your code. But thanks for your reminder. Safety always eats time. But really... it's worth the time you invest. Luckily I did not yet lose something because of that but surely you know others that were not as lucky. You can read such threads regularly unfortunately. |

Tons of sockpuppet newbie accounts popping up and saying things like "Hahaha bitcoin ponzi scheme is just about to collapse"
Actually, I have already come to a conclusion that this is organized. Even though I can't attain any evidence (who knows who is behind the spambot), I do nuke a lot of them regularily. I wanted to keep quiet, but since you have already mentioned it, I might fill in. Not long ago the pattern (for a short amount of time) was something about "new coins coming to market and dump-ing" (I can't recall exact phrase); now the spammer is stating that "Craig will dump and crash the market". This is definitely not a coincidence (as it tends to happen with other negative news as well). It probably is planned, otherwise Gavin was tricked or that person is really satoshi. But I don't think it was planned by traders. I think there are a couple of people that try to manipulate the price the way you described. But they usually jump on any event. That's probably why they are so active now. |

he is not satoshi. all he done was convert an old existing input script into base64.. he did not sign anything nor did he prove anything. you too can be satoshi (by doing what Craig wright did) go to https://blockchain.info/tx/828ef3b079f9c23829c56fe86e85b4a69d9e06e5b54ea597eef5fb3ffef509fe?show_adv=truecopy the input script 3045022100c12a7d54972f26d14cb311339b5122f8c187417dde1e8efb6841f55c34220ae002206 6632c5cd4161efa3a2837764eee9eb84975dd54c2de2865e9752585c53e7cce01 google "hex to base64" paste in the input script convert MEUCIQDBKn1Uly8m0UyzETObUSL4wYdBfd4ejvtoQfVcNCIK4AIgZmMsXNQWHvo6KDd2Tu6euEl13VT C3ihl6XUlhcU+fM4= and now you have what appears to be a signature that is linked to satoshi funds.. and you never even needed a private key do to it ask youself did you use a public key or private key. did it involve any sha or ECDSA process at all.. NO i advise everyone to go to the media, contact section and message them of the fraud that craig wright is. the only reason he is doing this is because he scammed some people into thinking he owns 1million bitcoins which he doesnt, but that blind ignorance caused those people to give him collateral based on the lie.. and now they are calling in the debt.. (australian government handedhim millions of australian dollars.) he fled australia to avoid immediate prosecution and is now trying to use the media as proof of ownership. without ever actually proving ownership so please will everyone convert hex to base64 all the inputs of all satoshi funds to prove we are all satoshi.. craig wright deserves to be locked up because its not just identity fraud. the main thing is the millions of fiat he has scammed out of australian government and private investors using that id fraud, he has no bitcoin funds from 2009. Can you elaborate a bit more? Can you sign a message with a bitcoin address that satoshi owned? I can't really believe that since one would have to check past transactions from that address to prevent being scammed by a wrong signature. Is it a risk at all? |

Sometimes they do it to advertise a service of theirs... cheap advertising through media attention...
But at the end those persons have some problem in the head. They need attention. I think no normal person would do such thing except it's for a cool headed planned marketing campaign.

When you enable 2fa to any site, you're presented with a key which when entered into an Authenticator app generates 2fa code every 5-10 seconds, did you save that key anywhere?? If you did then you need to re-enter that into your new phone's authenticator app and it will start generating the code. If not, then only Yobit support can help you remove 2fa from your account and they will do it after making sure that you're the original owner of the account.
That's something pretty important. I did not do this from the start too so I had to do it afterwards. Which meant disabling and enabling all 2fa on all exchanges and services where I use 2FA. And saving the code that could recreate the 2FA on my phone. Some services doesn't even show the code, it is hidden in the OCR then. You can read it with a ocr app that shows the contents. If you did not do this then disable and enable on all sites. There are services that DO NOT set 2FA back when you lost it. You could be a hacker... |

You are the only one that handled a mess like what happened in the best possible way.
I've seen so many scams that I've lost the count, BTC-TC was a white sheep in a black flock.
Thank you.
I agree... I wish I would have had my coins on btc-tc instead in weexchange/bitfunder. Well... I'm sick of feeling bad about it. It looks like ukyo was in contact with me longer than with danny but this investigation danny mentioned seems to gain no results. Can danny be contacted outside of twitter or are there other ways where you don't have to give away your personal accounts? (Don't even know if it is possible to create a secondary twitter account.) |

PassThePopcornBitclubpool has stated they would send it back to the original sender if they prove ownership, if no one proves to them that they owned the BTC Bitclubpool "will" donate it to charity.
That sounds cool actually. I like seeing such acts in the bitcoin community. It's refreshing in comparision to dealing with scammers all day.
AGDI see a nigerian prince, who failed at trying to mix stolen coins. Good thing is: he obviously doesn't know he could get it back.
Btw Bitclub: Please don't give this money to the Bitcoin Foundation. It's just like giving it back to the nigerian prince.
I don't see a nigerian prince here. I doubt any nigerian prince would be that successfull. They are happy with a couple of dollars they receive.
BoosteriousHe lost 291.2409 BTC during the transaction and 0.0001 BTC was transacted.
It probably a thief or someone who was trying to speed up the transaction and messed up big time. If it was anyone else, I would just call him unlucky.
No,people already mentioned that it was a bitclub pool mistake,so nothing bitcoin stolen,its just a mistak,and its not first time mistake and not the last,i wish i will never found any other mistake like this. What are you speaking of? What error of bitclub? They mined that fee and it looks like they want to give it back. So what error are you speaking of?

rem123I would like to be added to the list of escrow services 1% (Min 0.01BTC)
1500+ trades localbitcoins.com
Many vouches.
It's not enough to claim you had such amounts of trades. It's not enough to register a name of an escrow that might exist on another forum. You would need to proof that you are this same person. You would do that by signing a message with an old address this escrow posted somewhere. Or proof that you own his pgp key. There are no rules in regards to who can and cannot offer their escrow services. Even when deciding who to trust to act as escrow, the judgment used is more of an art then a science. Anyone can choose to trust anyone to act as an escrow agent for any given trade. I would not personally trust someone simply because they have a lot of trades under their belt on LBC, especially considering that it is fairly common for LBC accounts to be traded. 1,500 trades is a lot though and someone with that many trades is likely to have a lot of experience in terms of evaluating conditions of a trade. You are right of course. Everyone can trust everyone. Though when asking to be included into this list here it would be fully useless to claim such amount of trades and have nothing but his word for it. Maybe he only registered the username of an escrow on the other forum? Anyway... proofing such trades is worth a lot for trust and needed before Marco considers to add him. |

It surprises me when I hear that in the western world there are those who beat their wards till blood comes out somewhere.
I think you will find such a...holes everyhwere in the world. It might only need a drinking parent and a child might suffer because someone does not solve his problems and goes the wrong way. Let's hope that such things become less and less over time and people watch over the childs of other parents a bit too. |

knightdkI have a question... assuming a 2 of 3 multisig escrow... when the coins are released out of the multisig address, can it be said who of these 3 signed the message for the release? Or could one person try to scam by playing 2 persons and scamming the third? Claiming that he signed without it being right already?
The signatures are public, so it would be fairly trivial to figure out which keys signed the transaction. Thanks, that's good to know regarding safety of an escrow in such situation.
