why is this a problem?
it should change nothing for their customers.

but they should do so as soon as they have a plan how to handle payouts.

thank you for repeat the second part of my post in a way a native speaker would understand better

if they would have filed a police report i would agree (past; i am speaking about the first break in).

but atm we have no chance to know who stole it. could be Tihan itself afterall.
all we know is they owe us money and tell us stories why it is so difficult to pay it back and that they are doing it for charity.

^^ sounds like a typicall scammer.

maybe multiple small gox codes which where used to buy btc from different accounts and afterwards withdrawn immediatly?
but i am also not sure if i should believe it.

i am thinking about a scammer tag too.

BUT: after all they are a LP. i think this means that if the company don't have the funds they are not legally obeyed to pay out.

in germany if someone is a "security expert" (justice defines this term) and do very obvious failures in securing the money they are personally liable (or must go to jail).

i dont know NZ/UK laws and i dont know the policy of this forum.

personally i think they all deserve a scammer tag now.

you shouldn't be trusted with money anymore.

you claim you are security experts and didn't lock all api keys? are you kidding me?

why didnt you just move it to another account?
why didnt you revoked all api access? - i see no need for it as bitcoinica is OFFLINE

btw: i dont really care about that theft.
its just another story why we should wait for OUR money and why we should be nice to you.

thanks.. my english is always a little weird.

@Gavin: deterministic wallets sounds way better.

should i give the backup implementation a try? would be my first contact to bitcoind.
i've planned to attach an "IsBackuped"-Attribute to every address inside the keypool and to show a warning as there are now more (or only a few) "backuped" addresses left.

^^ do you think this is still a good idea? how fast is this bip going to be implemented?

may i use this in my sig?
best bitcoin cite ever

if nobody is faster i'll try to implement it this weekend.

i would love this feature
even better: show a warning message if there is a privkey going to be used which is not contained in the last backup.

its funny to see that you still do "pro litecoins" post in other threads.
you should realize if bitcoins falls really hard - that does not mean ltc goes up. i think it will take a time to build up trust for cryptocurrencies again.

already wrote him a mail about that...
and the nice pseudonymity features...which makes it impossible to be sure to seize ALL funds

100USD and 106BTC
53BTC was returned

thats really not that much. and i had way less proof than Goat (only real proove was my passport as i had a verified account)

50% is better than nothing and it gave me some hope...

lets buy some old eggs

i've got an answer from the exact same address.
