Why people keep saying open source is safer? When was the last time any of you have taken a time and go search for security bugs in any open source project? Nobody pays for such activity. On the other hand, malicious actors have huge monetary incentives to pour over open source code and find ways to steal coins. Quite possibly Atomic theft code is hiding in some open source Javascript library they inadvertently imported into their Electron app.

>> Transferring their fund by importing the 12 words into other wallets like Electrum might be a good step or any wallets that support importing BIP39 seed phrases. But they use something "nonstandard derivation" for non-BTC coins and I haven't been able to import the seed into other wallets (Exodus, Trust wallet). I had quite a bit of USDT-TRX on it, as a hedge against Bitcoin volatility in my retirement years
Less than 1%!! Really?
How do they determine if the users were less than 1%. Why don't they value what has been drain in monetary terms instead of stupid percentages.
They are probably counting every user who has ever opened the Atomic Wallet app which will also include a significant amount of no-coiners, and also zombies which have never touched their funds for several months. So most likely the actual percentage of hacked active users is probably much higher (like at least 5%). I have several wallets, they took largest amounts first, and still didn't take small change amounts (2000 USDT), guess their bandwidth is limited (doing it manually?).

"When the police got the search warrant, they managed to find the private keys" - I wonder where they kept their keys? Were the keys in Heather's makeup bag? (ironic) Just having such possessions and not taking care to make it impossible to find the keys seems a bit silly and weird. I don't side with the criminals, but logically, the first thing the criminals do is go to great lengths to make sure the police can't get their hands on the keys. In another case, it can be assumed that pressure was exerted on them, opening all places where the keys were not hidden.
Looks like the keys were in an encrypted file in Google drive. FBI was able to decrypt the file. Could have installed a keylogger in Ilya's computer to get the password or something like that.

So they are just in connections with the hackers and they are in charge of making the money clean and not traceable, right?
There isn't anything in the document that indicates that anyone else was involved. IMO Ilya IS the hacker, because he had private keys to all 2000 original theft addresses. They just went for the arrest warrant for money laundering because this is what they can prove now - Ilya lied about source of funds in his emails to banks and cryptoexchanges. They will get to the hacking point while he sits in jail.

So I resolved the issue in this way:
1) Waited until the tx cleared from all mempools around the internet. blockcypher.com is handy for keeping track of that. 2) Now the tx is only in my local bitcoind's mempool. Stopped lightningd and bitcoind, deleted mempool.dat and restarted. 3) Issued "lightning-cli dev-rescan-outputs" command and now coins are back!

I issued a withdraw command with low fee, and the transaction was broadcasted, but miners didn't include it in blocks. But I can't withdraw again with a higher fee, it gives me error 301 - the coins have been marked as "spent". Listfunds shows empty wallet. The question is how to salvage the coins. Should I clear bitcoind's mempool, will it help?

I will never understand why any bitcoiner would be fearful of ethereum or vice-versa. Is just 2 different blockchains with way many differences that makes them both valuable.
I'll explain it so you understand. The most significant promise of Bitcoin as a value store is that it's supply is limited - 21M bitcoins. Proliferation of alts breaks that promise. Now there are 21M bitocins, plus 90M ethereums, plus miriads of other cryptos.

Why there is no cash option? All the payment methods I see are centralized/KYC.

It is a scam. And "review" by domgreen with 1 forum post doesn't count much .
|

Still received nothing. Scam.

Sent BTG to it an hour ago. Received nothing back yet.

70 minutes no block, something's going on ... hard fork?
|
|

one hour block is nothing unusual, unless there are other signs of failure

Scam for those poor souls who will buy this **** from "devs" once they finish premining and send their coins to exchanges for the dumping. Be assured no one will be able to dump before "devs" sell all their coins
|
|
|
Give devs time to move the premine to the exchange and sell before everyone else!

Where can we see Moneypot stats - bets/wagered/profits over time?

Where can we see Moneypot stats, like bets/wagered/profits over time? This is required to judge whether the game is rigged against investors or not.
