http://transantarctic.wordpress.com/ After a little more than a week of standby, I finally take the plane to the station NOVO.
GAROUIT Ali will update my blog with the information I transmettrais him.
A in 3 months Tuesday, November 12, 2013 2:00 p.m. UTC +3
Position: 70 ° 49'23'' S 11 ° 37'55'' E
T: -10 ° CV: 10m / s -15 ° C therefore felt
Poor visibility.
I started skiing tomorrow after a good sleep because I tired .
Very happy to be in Antarctica, but I did not realize! WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH, 2013
Location: 70 ° 49 '547 "11 ° 37' 426" Malthus E 70 ° 49 '33 "11 ° 37' 26" E
T: -15 ° CV: 6m / Malthus felt-19 ° C
Bad weather till 2:00 pm, and big sun later. I Took advantage of it to prepare veils (sails) then I left at 4:30 pm.
Sled very heavy and unable to move forward in ski: deep snow stemming from the storm of the last week THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH, 2013
I was not ble to leave NOVO, as I wanted it.
Finally, I could set myself back in 1 km of the station.
Indeed, we announce a big storm coming in two days. I take advantage of it to continue to prepare my equipment.
Ergo, officially, Bitcoin is now on all seven continents, with Faysal having a Bitcon Flag in tow to be planted at the geographic South Pole. ~TMI BTCITW

Did I just fuck up? Wallet not found
Report a missing wallet
Your wallet maybe missing because it received funds only after April 1st when Instawallet was suspended.
If that is the case, please use the comment field to tell us the transaction that you would to be taken into account for a refund.
Please do not report a missing wallet if it did not receive any transaction.
Report a missing wallet I used the comment section for other then what was instructed it should be used for. In fact, the first (and last) time (mid April) I filled out the comment section, I provided much more detail at the time, of which had nothing to do any transactions taking place after April Fools day. |

I put in a claim to instawallet, still waiting for my bitcoin!! Please help!
The reason you have not seen your payout is simply that you did not approve the proposed payout. As explained in my previous posts, we need discharge from the people we pay out otherwise there is no way to remove the liability from our books. The discharge is required because the database has been tampered with: even though it may be minimal and partial, there is a non zero probability that the proposed amount does not match the expected amount. I am posting this here for the last time because I realize the thread has been polluted by a few assholes (tvbcof, giszmo, etc) that have nothing else to do but waste everybody else's time, making it difficult for claimants to find the information. A sendmany transaction will be sent in january to those who filed a claim on time but failed to approve their payout so far. To approve a payout, simply visit your wallet page (do not forget to type https://www.instawallet.org/w/yourwalletsecreturl in full). Thanks for your cooperation in getting these claims resolved. Quoting for reference. You publicly call me an asshole for persistently and unsuccessfully wanting my money back? How about resolving claim ID 34a28881-b884-4b44-94d2-669b4d46962c instead? Where and how did you get a claim ID number? Was it submitted during the initial claim process or later during the dispute process? When I filed my three claims back in early April when the claims process started, I don't recall seeing one, nor received one via email. The only thing I recall during the inputting of the three claims is that after I did such and clicked submit (send, etc.), an identical claim page was generated, thus nothing worth taking a screenshot of, but safely assumed they were submitted properly. You ask me? In https://www.instawallet.org/w/poliglotabitcoindemo there is a Claim# for example. Check with your url, there should be one, too. I'll be an SOB! That's the first time the following URL has worked in months: https://www.instawallet.org/w/sMceOus2wYrDVAHxA5BssBwB7kgDqC9r4QNeither of those two addresses shown are related to me and don't have a clue as to whom they belong to, nor how they were able to process a claim against it. And why isn't the address that I provided when I made my claim not present? I have posted about the addresses being present before, and this is the first time I've seen a claim ID number, though it's possible that I paid it no mind at the time. Also, when I first saw those two other addresses, I was under the impression that they were just two other entities staking a claim against my claim of which was already on record. Now I'm thinking that that's the only two claims against that address, sans mine. The other two URLs are the following: https://www.instawallet.org/w/rL2DhMWW9tDvs24oFwtiq99zhh7A3ii6bghttps://www.instawallet.org/w/gZh1afVVl5aAtjNwXo0BiYChTxjwln33abI'm now able to see a form to fill out on both pages, whereas the last time I check around August there simply was "Wallet not Found". But even if there was a form to fill out then, there's no way I would have filled it out after already doing it once back in April and instructed to not make duplicate requests. At one time, I had both URLs attached to my Chrome browser, thus only being a click away. Some time in May, I believe, I copied and pasted the URL onto a notepad stored on my broken laptop, of which I just now retrieved. I took it off the browser list, along with other no-count URLs I no longer needed to get rid of the clutter. Firing up and retrieving the files from the other laptop took about two hours to complete the task while I figured out how to get one of three archaic monitors to work with it. It's amazing how many hours I have invested into this InstaWallet fiasco. Hopefully, it'll now get worked out, for I'm about to resubmit the lost(?) wallets via the forms that are now available. Before submitting this post, I just realized I have another problem: I don't remember which one of the two held the 1,000 BTC and which one held the 123(?) BTC, but when I first submitted the claims back in April, I was ~100% sure which was which due to using the hotlink and how I had them labeled. I'm almost pretty sure that the first one was the 1,000 BTC wallet recalling in what order I saved the URLs. |

Here's one address, the lesser of the three that I have a claim in for: https://blockchain.info/address/1JppeHVdYQEBGR4uHVTqLQsb2FY1wUTziHThe following tx nowhere reflects my final transaction from said wallet: https://blockchain.info/tx/cb32e5147c0510a3423a9b9c57a90fa949a3960422563bf8ade5a621a0939cecI know exactly which wallet was paid out 0.105 BTC to and he even confirmed he received payment, but his receiving address does not show the funds coming from the 1Jpp... address. It shows it coming from some other, assumingly one that InstaWallet maintained at the time. Only three days earlier I expressed a concern (quoted below) about this very practice of which davout was kind enough to respond to, easing my concern(s) at the time. The reason for my original concern was not because of some trivial amount I maintained in this one wallet, only used as an example to help illustrate an issue I was dealing with, but because I maintained two other wallets on InstaWallet at the time having greater value: One with exactly 1,000 BTC, and the other with either 123.xxx or 132.xxx BTC. I'm pretty sure the latter was the correct amount of the two, but opted to only claim the lesser one to be fair. x = some unknown digits, since not knowing nor remembering the exact decimal amount. I like IW, but something has changed recently and I can't put my finger on it.

~Bruno K~
PS: To be clear, the wallet address is 1JppeHVdYQEBGR4uHVTqLQsb2FY1wUTziH
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  That's a fine explanation I can live with. Thanks, bud. ~Bruno K~ Of the other two wallets mentioned, I don't have the addresses, only IW's URLs, with knowing the exact amount in only one of them--1,000 BTC. With the other, I submitted an exact 123 BTC, out of the kindness of my heart not submitting a 132 BTC claim, nor the unknown decimal amount, currently leaving ~$4,400 USD--at today's exchange rate--on the table. I believe I may have found the 1,000 BTC, but have no way of proving it, although it was part of IW's wallet and moved about the same timeframe in which I moved my 1,000 BTC wallet just days prior to the hack(?). I've already shown that davout was paid off due to the hack(?) well before many others were, according to Boussac's released payout txs. Also, it was stated that no wallets above 50 BTC will be processed until at some point later, of which wasn't the case from the get-go. It took IW many days to produce the so-called police report, but have yet to produce what firm did the independent audit, unless it's in the French section of this forum like where proof of the police report was discovered and migrated to the English section by some other Bitcoiner. To be clear, there is NO WAY I would have gone into a pussy fit over only 0.84 BTC. But, over 1,100+ BTC, of which only a handful of days prior to the hack(?) I shown my concern, you're damn right my tone went overboard, but more or less settled down after reading the following post excerpt (in yellow) at the time: Oddly, I replied to that post, but didn't click the link, for I thought he was just linking to the police department site again. @Phinnaeus: Jeez, could you perhaps dial it down, just a tad? I mean, your posts usually are pretty entertaining, but you're not helping anybody (including yourself) with your method. One moment, you're all official "Dear Mr Boussac, I politely request that you upload...", only to be followed up, in BRIGHT RED LETTERS, by something like "Hey Boussac, you fucked me in the ass and now you don't even go for a reach-around, what the hell?". I get it, responses by Paymium are frustrating (and I didn't even lose money or time to them), but it'd probably be more helpful to make up your mind if you want to address things seriously or go for a vulgar style. Noted! It's just that I don't have any experience in losing a vast amount of money before, albeit doling out over $20K due to the Bitcoinia episode, indirectly (I had no funds with them), could have prepared me for this much bigger lost, directly. As shown, the requests were mostly civil in nature at the onset, but at some point I've went overboard. I apologize for not apologizing, and appreciate the tone used in your statement directed toward me. As you can imagine, this episode is now taking a tow on my personal well-being, business- and health-wise, though trying to be level-headed, with resorting to logic and humor to maintain my senses, tossing in vulgarity for good measure, but seeing now it best to scale that back a tad. Hopefully, the vulgar that's in place will act as a warning to those who come after us and deal with this unprofessional individuals. (<---note, toning it down just doesn't seem to cut the mustard) Most here have seen this exact approach in the past, all to no avail, yet we are now being led to believe that this time it will be different--just wait 90 days, and in my case possibly a helluva lot longer. I've spent countless hours conducting research via the internet, posting my findings so that fellow bitcoiners don't get burned, coupled with helping them hunt down certain culprits. Ironically, I was doing just that when I opted to putting my wealth in a more secure place on hold to protect others. I'm not complaining, and will continue to do it, but it's now coming at a tremendous expense. As a reward, I'm put on ignore by a Frenchman who possibly will live a comfortable life thanks to my ignorance and inaction. Madness! Obviously, neither vitriol attacks nor considerably toning down such afforded me seeing a single satoshi of what's currently valued at just slightly under a half million dollars at this hour's exchange rate. |

Say, Phin, what is you status on the Instawallet thing these days? Last I remembered Boussac was (very childishly) not giving you professional service on the basis of your insulting him or something. Were you made whole in the end (by your definition of it at least?) No. Still the same ol' three claims of which davout or Boussac instructed me via a post while I was in Atlanta to submit to them via a PM, but couldn't do then because the info needed was on another laptop of which I put in the shop when I got back home. I've been waiting for it to be fixed ever since and learnt a couple days ago it ain't worth fixing, thus just got it back today. I can now fire it up and connect it to an old monitor to retrieve the original URLs needed, thus enabling me to properly resubmit the claim(s). |

That's just the leather upper on his boot sticking up.
At first, the boot was leaning down, than pops straight up prior to the separation. Also, here's the teaser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yatg89gi0nM showing two semi rigs will be used. In the "one take" video, the Volvo on the left is a panel truck, whereas only the one on the right is a semi rig. It looks like only the panel truck is moving away while the semi rig continually hugs the line. |

Not going to read the several thousand comments, but... Glindin13 minutes ago
I mean this looks almost impossible, but if they faked this, and it got out?
If it is real I very much hope they made some form of documentary or at least an "the making of"! Seriously, nobody else saw it? Look at :42s. |

That was totally amazing! Try doing that a regular highway oppose to on an airport runway. What's even more amazing is that his right leg detached from its foot, but he still held without grimacing in pain. <I didn't read the comments, if there were any any, making the observation on my own accord.> |

I just paid my brother-in-law, Martin Basurto, $350 USD for a killer buffalo suede leather purse. Since I don't toot a purse, I need to give this away to some deserving person. Let me think, who deserves this? Still thinking... thinking... Got it! Jason King's wife. I'll hand-deliver it when I get to Satoshi Forest this Thanksgiving. Rumor has it there's a feast for the homeless during that time. She's going to have to come to the forest though, for I'll be too busy digging a hole for the imu on my first day there, Tuesday the 26th, with Wednesday taking care of final prep, then cooking my ass off come Thursday.
