I would have to agree.  Avid follower myself and have been for a long time but this release from start to finish has been an abortion.  Complete lack of planning, understanding of the customer/user and with zero risk and contingency planning.

It is not as though he is poor.  I believe he holds close to a metric ton in gold, 5 figure bitcoins and god only knows how much silver.

I would be ashamed to have my name associated with this launch.

Out of interest what would someone need to restore the armory wallet.  Would just the primary wallet address and encryption password be sufficient or would they need more? I.e would that HAVE to do this from my PC. 

I have 1 paper backup under lock and key and this hasn't been touched.

Yep, down around $14,000.   1,000,000 shot but 4.38 BTC to anyone that can help get them back.

Can anyone help with checking the blockchain?  Have they left an easy trail or has the BTC gone on the move?

Thanks

Hi,

I am guessing I am screwed but any help you can provide is appreciated. Back in Dec 2013 I was running armory (password encrypted) on my windows & laptop.  As it only had 4gb RAM I couldn't get the blockchain to update so I upgraded to a Win8 machine with 8gb.  After which the RAM requirement had decreased anyway.

After installing armory for the first time I just couldn't get the to work - kept hanging every time it synced and then crashed when entering my password.  After uninstalling and reinstalling a few times and restoring my wallet. All was well.  The password worked.

Just checked today and all 14.38 BTC were stolen on the 6th Jan via 7 transactions, a couple weeks after restoring the wallet.  I have no idea how considering the wallet was encrypted.  This password could not have been bruteforced.

They were stolen from this address and all addresses I had associated with it in the wallet - 17JtGPjxJtpNA2vqSbNAMLjBet2Q4s8Fpx

This has wiped me out and I guess tracing them is not a worthwhile excercise?

Any ideas or advice welcome.  No infections or spyware found.

Much appreciated
