If you had done MP back 13 months ago, you'd be up over 110% right now

What's MP?

Dice investment comparison

TLDR "On the 1st of October 2014 we invested ฿1 in the house bank of the top 9 bitcoin gambling investments sites ... 13 months after .. we lost 32% of our investment"

Another question I have is what email address/username was used in this situation, is it one that is shared among other websites of the same nature or was it a unique email address that was never actually used for email purposes?

If your email address even shows up on a Google search that means it is vulnerable. You should have a unique, unknown, unused (besides verification and sign up) email address/username that is not listed on any search engine to maximize security. If you don't have a unique username then you should have a super common one that shows up everywhere.

btc-e doesn't allow email-address as a login.

Edit: and they lock your account after 3 failed login attempt. No way can an attacker guess your password using just 3 attempts. Unless it's "123456" or "password"

It seams like they ditched him off, blaming him alone for the theft because he had no 2fa enabled, which is insane, atleast they could track down where the money went and allow him to fight for his money.
Their support is terrible, i can confirm, but never did i expect something like this to happen.
Presuming op is telling the whole truth ofc.

cheers

To be fair it's pretty hard for them to do something. Just think about it, the stolen account has been selling his LTC for CNH, CNH price went up. A lot of people made something on it. I personally made about btc in the ensuing panic. I saw in the btc-e trollbox people boasting about making much more. The thieves could have had several accounts. How do you suppose to go after them?

few years back there was a security breach with liberty reserve deposits, allowing the attacker to  deposit fake usd in unlimited quantities,
attacker used funds to buy bitcoin and litecoin and then withdrew them, what btc-e did was to roll-back every transaction on btc-e to the state before the attack took place.

im not saying they should do the same now, but atleast they can investigate the theft, compare ip's used to login to his account and compare it to the ones that benefited the most out of trades.
its likely that the attacker used vpn, but maybe he didnt, maybe its just some skid that grabbed his login in some lame way, iwe seen alot of them over the years.
but to tell someone its their own faul and goodbye, well mister, you just lost some customers, presuming this story turns out to be true.

cheers

They ought to investigate, I'm with you on this. I have an account with btc-e and I sincerely hope they didn't just tell him to f*ck off. At least not right away.

No fishing email pretending to be from btc-e lately?

I'm pretty sure btc-e doesn't have your password in cleartext, only hash of it. So even if someone can look at internal btc-e database, he can't deduce your password.
And their's SSL is standard, otherwise your browser would complain. I just checked, it's TLS 1.2

@btc-e.com

Прокомментировали бы ситуацию с CNH. Вопрос в чем, почему после роста CNH на btc-e перестал работать ввод CNH?

Я, например, узнал, что CNH нельзя завести во вторник, все выходные и понедельник мне в личном кабинете предлагали присылать CNH на австралийский банк. Те, кто торговали на рост CNH в выходные по всем парам, они что, заранее знали? Кто им сказал? Инсайдерская торговля? Нехорошо как-то получается.
Или это случайно совпало, рост и прекращение приема? Я в это не очень верю.
Или причина и следствие наоборот, CNH вырос, все бросились присылать CNH,  банк увидел кучу переводов, испугался и закрыл вам счет? Тогда другое дело, но хотелось бы от вас это услышать.

In 1956, Phillip Cagan wrote The Monetary Dynamics of Hyperinflation, the book often regarded as the first serious study of hyperinflation and its effects. In his book, Cagan defined a hyperinflationary episode as starting in the month that the monthly inflation rate exceeds 50%.

Opec countries could have lowered oil production which would support high oil prices, but then they would lose market share. It's not that they (including Saudi Arabia) specifically hate US oil producers, they hate all competition and would do whatever it takes to protect their market share. Just as any other market participant would. E.g. Microsoft or Intel.
Anyone knows where I can get a good tinfoil hat?

Someone should make blockchain in db format available for download. I'm syncing for 24 hours now and I'm still 150 days behind. i3-550, 4Gb, HDD.

Download blockchain.bin and try the converter. It needs some code tweaks I think (just changing the path) so if you aren't comfortable with that it won't be an option. Obviously before a general release (and likely sooner) that will be cleaned up.


Could you please elaborate, how am I supposed to run it, how much will it take to convert the blockchain?

I see that it doesn't expect any command line options like --help and that it expects the blockchain.bin to be in /home/user/.bitmonero, which isn't a problem.

Looks like that's it I guess. David Latapie reported testing it recently on #monero-dev and it did work for him:

Code:
06:39 <@davidlatapie> 8) copied blockchain.bin to /home/user/.bitmonero with sudo (cp /home/david/.bitmonero/blockchain.bin 
                      /home/user/.bitmonero/blockchain.bin)
06:39 <@davidlatapie> 9) started blockchain_converter on the right folder, this time with sudo (blockchain_converter)
06:39 <@davidlatapie> It works. I could sync and refresh and send.
06:39 <@davidlatapie> tl;dr: it seems that even after correcting editing blockchain_converter.cpp, there is still a hardcoded entry for /home/user/.

Okay, I'm running it now. Definitely faster than syncing.

Edit after about an hour: About 15k blocks per hour. Faster than syncing but not a walk in the park either. And @smooth, thanks for the tip.

If you say the DB version is good I'll check it out tomorrow. Cheesy
Here is what I had to do to make it work on Ubuntu 14.04
Code:
git clone https://github.com/tewinget/bitmonero.git bitmonero
cd bitmonero
git checkout blockchain
sudo apt-get install libunbound-dev liblmdb-dev
make

for those who don't need the whole repo
Code:
git clone https://github.com/tewinget/bitmonero.git --branch blockchain --depth 1

Please for your help!
When sending Monero coin from my personal wallet at exchange having to write one letter at all address and ID key! This is because simplewallet.exe a DOS application, and it can not use copy / paste! At least I do not know how! Please tell me how to send Exchange, you always have to write letter by letter .... are many characters and the ability to make a mistake in writing is great. Is there any way?
Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand you correctly but if the problem is in pasting in the command prompt window, you can do it. Click on the top left corner of the black command prompt window like this, then select "Edit", then "Paste":



Works as well in simplewallet.
