@OP, could you list in your table the accounts that need to be recovered and a link to theri profile as well as what you already have. It might make it a bit faster as a thread for seeing accounts that need recovering and as they are probably hacked accounts, will give a heads up to anyone wanting to trade with one of those accounts?

If you have a screenshot of the deposit address, is the token not in that?
Can you not type that into chipmixer and see if anything comes up.

Read about Bitcoin? You shouldn't be here for merit, you should be here for Bitcoin (knowledge of it).

1. Did you get a signed message from a staked address on his account if that is the case and he wan'ts to prove that he wants to transfer thread ownership to you (ensure you use the topic number and date in the signature).
2. If this is your currency, why did he make the thread?
3. There is no such limit of theymos ignoring newbies. There is such a limit that if theymos ignores you, what you want is probably never going to happen.
4. Why do you have another alt, what is the purpose of this account?

You could try the 11 words in electrum or somewhere similar and just see if it works. It's' not normally exactly 12 words, sometimes it can be 13 or 14 so it might have a chance of being 11 also.

You could also experiment to see if anything works on an offline copy of the bitaddress.org website on "wallet details" to see if it's a private key you have.

Technically it could. If it automatically goes to stage 2, you could still get other inputs and then withdraw as you don't get your keys until step 3. I wouldn't advise relying on that though, it doesn't seem a very comfortable option IMO (quitee a nice one if you use it though).

Sort of.
Myetherwallet is verified by DigiCert INC. Bitcointalk isn't verified by COMODO CA limited, that's just who issues their licence as Achow said, DigiCert legally state that myetherwallet is the site you're connecting to, Bitcointalk just tells you that the licence issuer is comodo ca (mainly as that suggests the cryptographic algorithms that can then be used).

@philipma or achow, can this be moved to ivory tower or serious discussion?

There is no rule/law against buying BitcoinTalk accounts here.
You risk getting negative trust but there is no formal rule.
That's true though.

1. Yeah he did.

2. Can I have the million Bitcoin that satoshi mined. I think I deserve it just from  my words. Or maybe have the opportunity to buy one or several bitcoin for 5 cents?

I've earnt more merits than you and I don't even need 'em. Buy a copper membership, it's only a few $ to add the signature you want.

There is no longer a gambling system. You will get back exactly what you put in provided it's divisible by 0.001BTC and you don't donate any.

No, you obviously don't need to donate, as that's why it's a donation button not a fee button. But if you use them often and/or like the service, why wouldn't you want to donate.

Chipmixer is a service that mixes your bitcoins with other people's coins.

The best way to learn anymore is to practice using it with small chip sizes like 0.001BTC.

Yes, those questions will be asked for now. but then they'll go away won't they? In a few months, new users to chipmixer will have no idea that there used to be a gambling feature on it that used to exist. New users currently probably don't either so it does solve the issue. and I do like the donate feature instead of charging a fee as then you can set how much you can actually give them and that you can actually pull out chips as private keys instead of them having to send you the coins as then you get to determine your own fee and the delay you want to use.

I still think a separate gambling site where you get a voucher code or something to input would be a good idea for them tro try to do. Even 7$ is quite steep for an initial bet (it's usually nice to run quuite a few 1 sat bet to check everything's close to fair - at least 30% win chance on x2 bets).

As loyce said it served as a good way to donate to the mixer or to get a bit more back than you were expecting from tiny inputs - though maybe not many people actually used this function or peopel used it instead of the donate feature and the house edge was too low for it to turn a profit from that.
As TheQuin said also, it still says the 0.004BTC on the main site @chipmixer, could you cange this when removing the gambling feature? Can you also change the bit at the bottom that says sessions will timeout after 48h and change that to the 7 days it currently is please ?

The majority of your posts are in the altcoin section, russian and polotics and sociaty (the last 20 are at least). These are places renound for not getting many merits awarded (other than the Russian board). Maybe try posting in the main bitcoin sections if you want merit since you can understand and write in English quite well.

Everyone with 140 activity points who is here for a genuine reason probably thinks they're worthy of full memberm, the issue is that not everone who says they are worthy actually is worthy.

97 merits is it not?


No one is special here (except maybe Theymos).


Maybe a membershi a bit higher than copper membership, 20$ or 10$+copper membership might be a good idea.

It's obviously connected with both. What account is this that you've bought anyway?

There's probably a lot of things we're probably not supposed to talk about, however, I don't think that's one of them? Why is it a bad idea to look at persoanl accounts of how people got into Bitcoin, everyone has a story, some are good; some are avarage; some are just people getting bored with running the algorithms they're employed to run on government supercomputers...


Yeah that is a bit like askiig for everything that has ever been created slightly relevant to be on there.
Like the origin of the mod function or the creation of every cryptographic algorithm that came before SHA256 that SHA256 was an improvement of.

I had mixed feelings about the betting thing. Based on how many times we got newbies asking why they would possibly want to donate to a bitcoin mixer (as if chipmixer were expected to be running a free service) and they must have got a lot of spam to their support asking why these functions existed (they obviously need the donate function).

I remember trying these out just after I got accepted into the campaign and got my first payment (I tested with 0.004BTC) and everything worked surprisingly well. I split my chip once and then split one of those chips again and bet with it (I won on my first bet and lost on the second and third so ended up with 0.002BTC but it was quite a nice integration to the system and I quite liked that).

A separate gambling site where you can request a voucher code from the mixer and use it on that site might work a bit better (I have a feeling the gambling thing went because otherwise people were forced to bet with quite a high minimum also - since the minimum chip size changed from 0.001BTC (~$7) to 0.004BTC (~$24).

Can you post the addresses the coins were sent to or look them up in a block explorer so see if there has been any activity in them recently?
Follow where the majority of the coins go, if they go to an address that says it's held more than 100BTC previously, that means the coins have either gone to an experienced hacker (less likely) or to an exhcange (more likely). If they have gone to an exchange stright from that address, you can look up the exchange and might have a bit of luck contacting them (however, they are probably unlikely to comply and the coins have probably long left their servers).

No. Syncing your wallet probably won't do anything as it's non-HD [as it's too early to be].

If the address isn't in your wallet, and you can't remember where the coins went to, you probably can't get access to them. You could search your inbox for that address just in case it is on your emails somewhere and it can jog your memory to where that address went.

I mean at least he repayed someone. Also, I actually forgot about this so maybe he did also?

He did log in recently though on his main account. someone remind me at the start of next year and I'll send him a reminder (no one is going to raise 1BTC in a matter of months so it's no point in asking monthly).

As I understand it, due to an extreme lack of server capabilities to handle tis data, the updating of the stats pages was withdrawn (mainly due to Ddos attacks and the server generally being quite slow).

It would actually be quite nice to have this data but I don't think the server is still capable of supporting this at the moment (as theymos would already have brought it back).
