Folks,

I'm looking to add a 3rd card to my rig...I'm looking out for a riser cable...can someone please help?

Folks...urgent need for 2 BTC...please make me your BFO (best & final offer)

Transfer to ICICI or HDFC.

aakashkumar: Do you by any chance work for bitstamp? How can a company as you claim earning over $1M be registered as a LLC (limited liability company) in UK? When I transferred funds to them, I deposited funds to a bank account in Slovenia although the "registered address" of bitstamp is in UK! They don't have a contact number (board line) and employees don't have employee ID's.

They are incorporated as an LLC in UK with a capital of 1000 pounds and do earn commission worth $1M upwards??

Feel free to verify facts:

aakashkumar:



As you can see from the link: My usual IP is 122.*.*.* On 27th Dec minutes after I got an email saying my deposit was confirmed i.e. at 17:26:07 (GMT) somebody logged in to my account, placed a limit buy order, then opened a withdrawal request AND THEN changed password! And then placed an order for 0.025 BTC with whatever little money was remaining and requested transfer again. I was unable to login to my account and requested a password reset on 30th Dec.

Folks,

After looking around for a "stable" pool to mine litecoins, I zeroed in on https://coinrelay.com/

Advantages:

1. Stratum-only
2. Very stable (never had any down-time)
3. Very low invalid shares (<1%)

Point your miners here & give it a try...you won't regret

undeadbitcoiner: Let me clarify..

1. I had 2FA enabled on my bitstamp account
2. I did not receive any trade confirmation email...the thief was an insider (bitstamp)...look at my original post, the thief logged in...placed a limit order AND THEN changed password

nefron: My guess is as good as yours...the thief perhaps knew there was money deposited in my account & quickly decamped with bitcoins.

Yes Microsoft does provide IP's and I have asked for details including mails received/ deleted.

I'm 100% sure my laptop is not infected.

However there is just one possibility; I installed 2 bitcoin price tracker add-ons in Firefox...could this be logging key strokes?

Folks,

Anyone considered buying this PCI-E module from Virtual Mining Corp?

http://virtualminingcorp.com/shop1/index.php?id_product=26&controller=product

They initially had a 31st Dec shipping date...seems like it would be shipping only end March now.

Just to be on the safer side I have raised a support request to Microsoft to provide me all IP addresses of successful logins from my email ID and all emails received/ sent/ deleted during the period 24 - 30 Dec '13.

I can confirm I haven't received an email for temporary password on bitstamp or the transaction verification email etc.

Something is very very strange.

Amitabh: My bitstamp account was compromised. With a few minutes of me receiving an email from them saying they had deposited the funds in my account, bitcoins were purchased & withdrawn. I did not receive any email in my account. Yes I had enabled 2 factor authentication!!

Bitstamp is blaming it on malware...I'm using my office laptop which has no dodgy software on it and has Symantec running.

Clearly...bitstamp is to blame for my loss.

Folks,

I just thought I'd share my experience so others don't make the same mistake.

I transferred $1500 from my HDFC bank to Bitstamp (www.bitstamp.net)

I received an email from them saying my funds were deposited. Within an hour of that, someone logged into my account, bought bitcoins, transferred them to their wallet AND THEN changed the password.

Clearly this wasn't an insider and NOT malware as I have no dodgy apps on my office laptop and also have Symantec Antivirus running.

See log (please read bottom-up):

As you can see all 122.*.*.* are timestamps where I logged-in. Suddenly on 27th Dec, someone logs in from a diff IP, TRANSACTS in my account (buys/ transfers to wallet) AND THEN LATER changes password.

Here is where the fun begins. There is no support number provided on www.bitstamp.net So I logged a support ticket and then someone replies to my email with a phone number. I call that UK number & after a few attempts...somebody answers the phone & I speak to somebody called Marko Rogan who does not have an employee ID! Guess why?? They are are limited liability company (LLC) incorporated in UK with a capital of just 1000 pounds! The "director" is a 24 year old Slovenian who does not have a contact number that he can be reached on!

http://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/bitstamp

Marko tells me that a password reset can be done & the temporary password will be mailed to the registered mail ID i.e. my email ID has been compromised. So I then raise a support request with Microsoft on www.outlook.com the mail ID that was "compromised" asking for details of all mails received/sent/deleted on 27th dec.

I have reported the crime to the UK police http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ The crime reference number CRN is NFRC131200484131. I will also be reporting this to the cyber crime police in Bangalore.

Request you to please promote this post & ensure others don't fall prey. Also gather momentum to get the UK police to investigate this case and punish the guilty.

Please DO NOT send funds or transact on www.bitstamp.net
