blockchain.info is back up, but I'm a tad tire to continue where I left off, with the except of leaving this here: https://blockchain.info/tx/578f144c14a9eab939949ba9fbf655bbe52dcc83ee9340d307cd0c8ae43ee37f

This truly is an amazing tx, ain't Davout? Bear in mind, when I get done exploring EVERY transaction of InstaWallet after, and just prior to the suppose "hack", I'll be a 'blockchain' expert.

Revisiting this wallet https://blockchain.info/address/1LrPYjto3hsLzWJNstghuwdrQXB96KbrCy we learn from http://thebitcoinnews.co.uk/2013/04/13/bitcoin-central-and-instawallet-hacked/

Bitcoin-Central reports that all 41,854.5915 BTC of customer funds (some $5,315,951.67 USD at today’s rates) is stored in bitcoin address 1LrPYjto3hsLzWJNstghuwdrQXB96KbrCy and is fully under control by them.  They also report that “Due to the recent and important price fluctuations we will cancel some outstanding orders before reopening. For example if the average price stays above 100 EUR/BTC we will cancel all asks below 110 EUR/BTC. No trades will be reversed.”

But, of that 41,854.5915 BTC, 14,319.9 BTC of it stemmed from InstaWallet's Cold Storage, whereupon it was transferred to https://blockchain.info/address/1JwXxGessiou1WaUaWXuttzkqnXFEbc4ZB on April 8, 2013.

DAMN!

Error 521 Ray ID: 11537ea7838a09c4
Web server is down

I was just gettin' warmed up.

I'm not done with this post yet, but suffice to say that somebody at InstaWallet has skimmed off my 1,132 BTC, and then some. But, it's worst than that! I will show some fat-ass wallets moved just prior to the suppose "hack" and also some disguised as claims still unspent. With a few other surprises thrown in for good measures.

I'm 99.99% confident that those controlling InstaWallet, Paymium, and Bitcon-Central don't want certain parties snooping around their playground: http://mineforeman.com/2012/12/07/bitcoin-central-begins-operating-as-a-bank-sort-of/

Quote
In an announcement on BitcoinTalk earlier today Bitcoin-Central revealed that they have partnered with Aqoba and Credit Mutuel to begin operations as Payments Service Provider (or a PSP).  While not quite exactly the same as a bank a PSP falls under all the regulatory restrictions and requirements as a bank except they are not able to issue credit.

It's a shame that Davout and Boussac both have me on ignore, especially if I'm not quoted, for it may be days before they see this post and realize what shit I'm about to unleash.

To be clear, I showed grave concern about InstaWallet prior to the suppose "hack", but my concerns were laid to rest by Davout in a thread that laid out that InstaWallet needed to revise their business model, namely in the security department. Then, Davout took a vacation, of which he better have some damn convincing proof as to where he was, hoping that the locale doesn't coincide with where the suppose "hacker" may have been located, for the timing sure does look suspicious.

Ironically, the suppose "hacker" broke into InstaWallet, Paymium, and Bitcoin-Central, all of which were supposedly über-secure. I firmly believe that InstaWallet was purposely "hacked" so that the principals can get out from underneath it, having their personal bitcoins (stemming from where, not sure, but may stumble upon the answer) washed along the way, taking my bitcoins, and perhaps others, as an added prize, somehow clearly their tracks along the way. Remember, servicers were switched after the initial claim process was in place, but people, including myself, were having issues. I'm not verse much in the back end of websites, but I'm pretty sure that info could've been gleaned, then cleansed, prior to the server change. At least that's how I would do it if I knew how and wanted to make a score.

Far-fetched? From what I've only shown above, to date, I, among others, now, think not. Those 250 BTC transfers were not, I repeat, were not part of any claims, but either my 1,132 BTC or part of some money laundering scheme, or a combination of both. I have several more examples to show prior to, and after the suppose "hack", all of which I can't wait till blockchain.info is back up.

Speaking of blockchain.info being currently down: You guys ain't going to believe which online wallet service I've been using since InstaWallet was so kind to watch over my 1,132 BTC since last April (a year ago). Don't worry, it's not an "insane" amount like I and a myriad others kept on IW.

It still gets my goat that InstaWallet claims that they couldn't find my three claims, and even after showing them mega proof of the smaller one several times, they denied it, but finally came around. It's like in their mind if they honored the smallest one, they would have to honor the two larger claims, for they were submitted at exactly the same time.

It's also a shame that they've opted to withhold the names of the independent auditors. Yes, more than one, for Boussac said such in the OP of this  thread. But, no problem, for when I get done, some French banking institute, or two, will whip out their microscope(s) and see what the hell is really going on over at Bitcoin-Central. I'm not just some fuckturd here in Sandwich, IL, tossing shit into a fan because I like it.

Remember, Davout and Boussac, don't bother replying to my posts unless you're asking me what wallet I'll be using for you kind folks to send me the settlement, otherwise the following will be part of my reply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0.

More to come, a promise or a threat, however you desire to perceive it.

Well, ain't this special! Looks like a lot of interesting transactions transpired prior to the creation of https://blockchain.info/address/1LrPYjto3hsLzWJNstghuwdrQXB96KbrCy, namely InstaWallet's Cold Storage wallet https://blockchain.info/address/1FrtkNXastDoMAaorowys27AKQERxgmZjY, moreover during the time frame that Davout had the following in his signature prior to InstaWallet going dark and not returning to this forum until April 18, 2013, 17 days after the supposed "hack" occurred, last seen on March 21, 2013, in sprite of InstaWallet's customers (of which Boussac claimed InstaWallet didn't have any customers) demanding where Davout was.

Quote
I will not be browsing the forum or reading my PMs from march 23 to march 31st included. If you have an issue please e-mail the relevant support e-mail address or open a support ticket if you need assistance with Bitcoin-Central or Paytunia

You didn't even get a message to "Take your meds"?  That's odd.  I would have thought that ~davout would have coded that standard response into an auto-responder by now.
Seek some help.
Put the (paranoid attention-craving tvbcof) guy where he belongs : on your ignore list.

From the looks of it, I'm pretty sure I'm on Boussac and Davout's ignore list, of which is fine with me, because as soon as I'm quoted and they start seeing tx from the 'blockchain' on this thread, they'll be singing a different tune. The only tune I want to hear is what address of mine can they send my settlement to, otherwise this is the tune I WILL link to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ (think meme, not its title).

Here's my promise or threat, however its perceived: I will be dedicating the next few days to this thread, linking and discussing a myriad transactions that transpired prior to, and after the supposed "hack". When I get done, this thread is going to look like a mini blockchain, for I've already uncovered a slew of bitcoins moved outta InstaWallet's cold storage to fat-ass wallets, and they're still unspent. Likewise, I found fat-ass wallets as part of settlements that they too are unspent. Looks to me that InstaWallet had/has control of said wallets and possible was using InstaWallet as their own personal laundry money service. YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I SAID IT AND I WILL NOW GO ABOUT PROVING IT. I'm 100% certain that they don't want others looking into their affairs, for it'll cost them more than just those coins when the authorities start digging. I promise you that.

I'm sure that if I'm a nutcase, then the bank backing Bitcoin-Central will pay this nut-job's action no mind. But, if what I'm about to unleash is true, then I'm pretty sure Bitcoin-Central's customers (if Boussac deems them to be such, for according to him InstaWallet didnt' have any) will soon be making a mass exodus, for I'm about to make some fucking noise, whereupon the principals WILL be in some serious damage control mode. These fuckers weren't playing fair from the get-go, and they sure the hell aren't playing fair now.

Again, take it as a threat or promise, either way I'm about to toss shit into the fan and there's only one way to stop me from doing such, otherwise you get Rick Roll'ed.

Please, quote stuff that's relevant, don't highlight it like that.

Like this for example :

WHO ARE THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS THAT DID THE COMPUTER FORENSIC ANALYSIS?

It is a well-known French IT-security firm.
It has been filed with LE as part of our complaint.
There are no plans to publish it, however like I said, it remains available for further investigations if necessary.

This is my last answer to you, I'm not interested in arguing this any further, my points have been made.

That narrowed it down: It's a well-know French IT-security firm.

Glad to see you filed it with LE. Sadly, I haven't a clue as to who or what LE is.

So, we're not getting the name of the security firm eh? I'm pretty sure they're some big outfit that has a website for everybody on the planet to see and inquire about, but you opt not to give us their name. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and state THERE IS NO SECURITY FIRM THAT CONDUCTED AN AUDIT OTHERWISE YOU WOULD HAVE GIVEN US A NAME. This is not privileged information we're seeking. Besides, it's not like the outfit is going to offer up information to some Joe Blow. But, at least they'll be able to confirm that an audit did take place.

One more thing. You said: It is a well-known French IT-security firm.

Kinda negates:

3. Claims for wallets that hold a balance greater than 50 BTC will be processed on a case by case and best efforts basis.
The number of such wallets represents less than 0.5% of the number of funded wallets in our records.
In other words, 99.5% of instawallets will be fully refunded.

The URL you reported matches no such walllet.
In order to look into it deeper I requested some more information about the wallet : public address, blockchain-related information etc.

You weren't even able to point me to one, or a set of, transactions funding said wallet that would total to the amount you claim.
Such information might have been a first step and allow us to check for its existence.
I invested a reasonable amount of time in trying to help you, but as far as our data goes this wallet does not exist.

For the record, our server hard-drives were given to law-enforcement when our complaint was filed, if I remember correctly you were given a copy of the receipt.
We're not "hiding" anything, neither are we "covering our tracks".


The next payout is scheduled for the beginning of june, I'll post more information here whenever it is available and if applicable.

Funds were stolen: a police report was filed by Paymium with BEFTI ( Brigade d’Enquêtes sur les Fraudes aux Technologies de l’Information, a unit of the French "Police Judiciaire") and an investigation is in progress.
Computer forensic analysis is in progress with independent auditors.

It took two and half weeks to get a link to the police report, and Boussac thought it would be funny to place it in the French section of this forum, knowing full well that THIS thread was the main line of communications. It was some other Bitcoiner that discovered it and migrated the police report to this thread.

Now, it's been over a year, and has been ask a hundred times--at least--with myself asking it again yesterday of which you conveniently ignored again: WHO ARE THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS THAT DID THE COMPUTER FORENSIC ANALYSIS?

Ask him. I do not know about any valid claim of such amount. It sounds insane to store so much on an instawallet.
If there was ever a valid claim from this person, it would have been paid back.

So, two claims totally 1,132 BTC (one wallet was 1,000 BTC and the other was 132 BTC) is pretty fuckin' insane eh?

After 90 days, if no other claim has been received for the same url, your Instawallet balance under 50 BTC will be refunded.

And this was how I was treated up to this point (below), and to date no police report was given.

Unignore

I see how the game is played now: Hack your own sites, claim money was stolen, claim to fill out a police report, ignore all requests from those who entrusted you with their assets, then call them trolls for requesting a simple number to set them at ease.

You sir, are one sick mother fucker!

Couldn't agree more...

All ease aside, the one hint is the lack of a police report number (and possibly them being one sick motherfuckers).

Looks like the mods took down one of my recent posts. This is the first time I've ever had to repost a post that was deleted, for it is very relevant to this thread.



Let's play "Let's compare posts!"


Yes there has been an issue with the boards BUT WE'VE fixed the problem and everything will go as planned. . Yes FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS we've been shipping to clients which have agreed there are potential issues and want to receive their miners anyway. Total we've shipped 146 miners. Those orders are scattered between the 500's and 1100's. So when we said we're shipping, we are. We just didn't want to ship something we're not sure in to everyone.



We've shipped up to the 1200's - a few hundred thus far, earlier batches when clients agreed to take the risk and receive their miner despite heat/pcb problems.

For those not good with math, 146 < "A few hundred."

Unless, of course, AMT pulled a rabbit outta their ass and shipped out a couple hundred in only 4 days.

Joshua Zipkin with his 7 year business degree from Penn State rarely posts on this thread, for he's thoroughly disgusted with it. Besides, most of AMT's sales stem elsewhere, with only a few sales stemming from this forum. This thread only acts as a communique for the various other folks that mostly own hosting companies in case they have an issue or desire to order more product, both of which they don't because they don't exist. 90% of sales stem from this thread. Since nobody has yet received a miner, it's a foregone conclusion that AMT is mining with equipment paid for from its customers.

If I were a con man, this is exactly what I would do. If AMT is viable, then in no way in hell would they have let this become the mess it is, ergo they are a con and mining away.

It seems like it would be easy to answer the simple questions asked by Marcus above.
If it so easy then I suggest you start putting together the report with all the transactions reported here. I'll fill in the blanks.
You can be  a volunteer too like the people who ran instawalllet as a free service.

...unless there is reason those 'haters' are correct.  Lots of MtGox people used similar arguments when people challenged their solvency.
Mtgox customers are victims, not haters.
The haters are not victims because they got their money back  yet continue to spread FUD.

Did Phinn ever get his 1000 BTC returned?
Ask him. I do not know about any valid claim of such amount. It sounds insane to store so much on an instawallet.
If there was ever a valid claim from this person, it would have been paid back.

So, my amount was insane, but some smaller amounts doled out during the first payout weren't insane, eh: https://blockchain.info/address/1HAo32apFqzKcSBkXVHR5vLnnFuuFoxzFU

Like this one that still hasn't been spent, just sitting there: https://blockchain.info/address/17we9qiPqgmirh9JZv1ucshJ9YBKVq1V7q

And, Davout made sure he was included in the first batch: https://blockchain.info/address/1DavouTAsveznCFHsz688xvbrRAq4u2qm8

Like I said, I want this resolved ASAP now, for more than ample time has passed to get this resolved, otherwise I'm opening up a can o' worms I know damn well you folks don't want open. I will also start doxxing every single person involved now or prior (for some have left, but have the names) with InstaWallet, Paymium, and Bitcoin-Central. I WILL NOT leave a single person out. Please take this as a threat or promise, for at this point I don't fucking care which one you choose. And, please don't threaten to sue me. JUST DO IT! It will be welcomed, but I'm betting that that's not an option on your part and you all know why.

Well, jack me off and happy 1 year anniversary.

Back in December, a dialog was started between me and Davout via emails to look into the three claims I submitted on the first day last year claims were able to be made. Back then I submitted three claims: 1000 BTC; 132 BC; 0.835 BTC. After several back-and-forths, and after even denying all three claims, guess which one they finally honored. You guessed it! The latter. I can finally retire and purchase my own island with that ~$700 USD and falling (actually already fell) amount.

So, because I was insane to have 1,132 BTC on InstaWallet, it gives them the right to keep it. I consider that insane, not my actions. What's really insane is just a couple weeks prior to the supposed "hack" I expressed a concern about InstaWallet, but was rest assured that all is well with no need to worry.

Well, it now is going to look like Paymium and Bitcoin-Central will need to do the worrying for if this is not settle fairly quickly, the bank backing Bitcoin-Central WILL be conducting an audit on both those and InstaWallet's concerns. After asked hundreds of times to provide who conducted the audit investigation, that question was never answered, thus safely assuming there never was one, simply doing it themselves.

I'm Goddamn sure they don't want ANY official body looking into their books, fearing what they will find. The following is not a threat, but a promise. If this is not resolved immediately, I WILL make this a crusade to have said books of ALL three entities opened. We can all clearly see via the 'blockchain' that there's still over a million bucks in InstaWallet's coffer that belongs to its customers, and 1,132 BTC of it is mine.

I will start on that promise now by penning a Scam thread about all three entities, and only lock it once this issue has been resolved, with Post #2 of said thread reserved for later stating that InstaWallet has resolved my issue.

I started penning in this thread relatively calm, but soon went on a vitriol attack, then later was informed by a fellow Bitcoiner to chill, whereupon I did, realizing that you'll get more with honey than vinegar. Well, I'm sad to say that vinegar was stuck up my ass and my balls about to rust off, thus it's back to my turn to bust some balls.

My two wallets that yet to be returned to me:

https://www.instawallet.org/w/gZh1afVVl5aAtjNwXo0BiYChTxjwln33ab

Where I was rest assured that all is well...

I like IW, but something has changed recently and I can't put my finger on it.

Dear Bruno,

Instawallet has always worked like a shared wallet, nothing has ever changed in this respect.

The fact you used to see coins remain at the deposit address simply means that :
 - there used to be less coin turnover,
 - the cold storage was less used,
 - any combination of the previous reasons.

Some stuff does change though, you used to get your transaction ID back immediately when sending coins, that's not the case anymore, sends are now asynchronously handled by a background worker. That's much more secure in terms of potential race conditions, much more robust in terms of infrastructure, much more maintenable (since now I can simply stop the worker, do some work on bitcoind and switch it back on).

The traffic also increases a lot, to give you an idea, our average weekly turnover is around 10kBTC in, and 10kBTC out, it recently peaked at around 50kBTC/week.

Your wallet has exactly the amount you expect to be available, you can't rely on blockchain.info to tell you how much is available in an account on a shared wallet.

This is how your balance is calculated :



Hope it's clearer Smiley

That's a fine explanation I can live with. Thanks, bud.

You've always being running a fractional reserve bank through.

I'm pretty sure that the above will not bode well with ANY authorities. Ironically, it was shortly after all the above was brought to light that InstaWallet went dark with their supposed "hack".

It seems like it would be easy to answer the simple questions asked by Marcus above.

...unless there is reason those 'haters' are correct.  Lots of MtGox people used similar arguments when people challenged their solvency.

Did Phinn ever get his 1000 BTC returned?

Unless BTC-Central Paymium is running fractional reserve they should have no problem demonstrating the exact status of their solvency and the Instawallet coins using the blockchain.

As has already been done recently by other reputable, transparent exchanges in wake of Mt. Gox debacle.


Notice how Boussac avoided this post like the plague.

Now, back to my promise/threat (however you desire to view it), if I'm not made satisfied, Paymium and Bitcoin-Central WILL be looked into. You folks were given more than ample time to get this resolved, but I sincerely feel that that time was used to cover your tracks.

Sure is strange that after the last payout was made last year, not counting February's payout, millions were still in InstaWallet's coffer: https://blockchain.info/address/1Kk8rWQGX87pc15J3J6ehzFfkC5y7dG1Nr

I am more that prepared to post a myriad more bitcoin wallet addresses all stemming from InstaWallet depicting none of the moneys going to customers (in spite of InstaWallet claiming they didn't have customers) of theirs.

I'm prepared to open up a major can of worms. Just say when. I'm willing to bet that with Mt Gox being predominantly  in the news, this is the last thing Paymium and Bitcoin-Central desire.

Money currently classified as being stolen from me WILL NOT be used to fund either Paymium or Bitcoin-Central. And, from what I can ascertain from the 'blockchain' that's exactly what it's being used for.

Finding Equilibrium?
It's way too early.
BTC is growing fast, money is pouring in, and time is needed to recover from Gox Hell.
We might have a few slow weeks but.... Equilibrium is not an option.

Equilibrium be damn!

Alyssa,

And Josh rarely types here. Smiley I'll check you're mail and get back to you shortly.

You are certainly not Alyssa, but Josh or Jim pretending to be Alyssa. I quite doubt that an Alyssa would use so many technical terms in her posts and know certain details which just a Josh or a Jim should know from the onset of this topic.

Damn you, AC. I wanted to pen that, but opted to read till the end before opting to post. Ideally, I would rather hold my tongue, assuming the best is happening, vis a vis AMT is doing their best to get a handle on things.

As a courtesy to those with pending orders, I shall keep my noise down to a minimum.

Having been in AMT's office, and even used the bathroom, it's safe to say that nary a woman has graced their office, working there or visiting, pretty Jewish girls or otherwise. Ergo, the ruse from Camp AMT continues.

What's even more amazing is that with all the individuals that supposedly man the AMT_miners account, none of them felt it prudent to satisfy nary a customer that has penned on this thread and what nut. Further amazingly, Joshua Zipkin supposedly rarely pens using this account, let alone taking the time to come here and read posts, reiterated most recently, and he's the brains of the outfit.

Now 'easily-confused' is my middle name, but I don't get how you can give away one of my countries, and such a fine specimen at that.

Could you enlighten me in this as in all matters, as I'm floundering in a sea of noobitude?

I didn't give away anything I gave you. I gave/made you the Ambassadör of Europe, of which you would earn 2% commission on each and every sale stemming from Europe. Each person desiring to be an Ambassadör, beside yourself and I (North America), would have to pay $200 USD for said title. There are only 4 such positions left: Africa, South America, Asia and Oceania.

If somebody in Europe orders a $10K bitcoin miner on Überqöin (e.g.), then you would automatically receive $200 USD via BTC into your bitcoin wallet on file. If an order is place from Berlin, Germany, and nobody is Squïre of Germany or Emissäry of West-Central Europe, then you would receive 14% commission, or $1,400 USD via BTC.

Once allocated, I nor anybody else, can take claim regions controlled by Ambassadörs, Emissäries, or Squïres. A Squïre can partial off their region to Bürqömeisters for no less than $50 USD via BTC up to the total commission amount paid out to date, a sum that will be transparent to all members of Überqöin. Likewise, a Bürqömeister can further divide his region (city, island, etc.) by selling it for no less than $50 USD via BTC to a Viceröi.

Note that those on the bottom pay less to hold positions and garner a higher percentage than those above them. But, earning 2% commissions from all sales stemming from a continental region as an Ambassadör for only $200 USD via BTC is one helluva bargain.
