1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Funds withdrawn from Stake without 2FA. on: December 22, 2023, 04:53:54 PM
@holydarkness
I have sent a PM to the team but no reply yet.

@TheUltraElite
I used to gamble frequently, thats why the BTC was there..
Hopefully, someone from the team will see this and will get a better reply from Stake.

@Sunderland
Which Police/Authority you are talking about..? Is there any "Bounty hunter" to search and hack the hacker which did this to me..?

@sokani
  • NO
  • NO
  • NO

Thats why I am heavily disturbed by this.

@AHOYBRAUSE
Wondering the same...

@EarnOnVictor
You mean to say that even STAKE wont be knowing whether 2FA has been used for this withdrawal or not..?


My friend, hacking is more than this, authenticity checks will be a forgotten issue when they are in. Hacking has different levels.

Please let me know how to Bypass 2FA, Coz we have to find a solution for that... Otherwise there is no meaning in having it.
2  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Funds withdrawn from Stake without 2FA. on: December 20, 2023, 02:10:51 PM

Is it possible that they bypassed the 2FA through this method? Is there a log on your email account that shows it's accessed from different location than yours? IF we amuse your assumption for a while that someone has access to your email, perhaps the details asked by their security team are readily available in your inbox?

No. My email is not compromised.. I have checked the sessions of my mail and its clear.


We do not have access to the behind the scenes, so cannot determine how there was a breach of the website. You can only get that response directly from a representative of Stake.

Isolated cases like this are not uncommon with crypto related websites, it could be due to a hack or  you allowing someone else access to where you keep valuable information.

If you do not get a substantial answer after a few days, then you can try calling then out on other websites they are active on.

There is no proper response, nor from the live support or from my VIP host. They are just giving me defined automated answers.


OP, which app do you use for 2-factor authentication codes? Google authenticator? Authy?
How about the email you used for registering to stake... Gmail?

To this date, some sites are not so strict when it comes to IP addresses. I don't know why. I used to like how some site would first have to prove if it's actually you trying to log in, regardless of your IP address.

I use Google Authenticator, I have known only this one from the beginning and been using it since.

In an age where any device can be hacked from a distance why reputed, large scale websites are not doing anything regarding this.
In my case, Norway is like 24 hours away on an airplane.

There has to be some logical authentication method when a user logs in from a far away country within some hours.



If there is anyone from Stake here, Do tell me whether the scammer has withdrawn with 2FA or if there is any other way.
Because this cant be an answer your user is expecting..


My Question: How can a withdraw gets accepted without 2fa?
Reply: There are numerous ways that we are not familiar with.

The IP Address: 194.127.199.43

The Bitcoin Address: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/bc1qyuqc9hc9kguk693zlgq6sfk568f7r205rhts4f

Yes there was a session from that IP in my Stake account. As soon as I showed it to the customer care guy, he told me to remove the session ASAP. I did that and now even my VIP host doesnt have any details.

Stake doesnt send you an email even if you make a WITHDRAW.  Roll Eyes 

I have the same 2FA device for all my accounts. Exchanges and Stake but only my Stake account got emptied, my exchange balances were same, I have withdrawn everything now.
Only thing is that Email ID and passwords are not same for all.

I have scanned my PC and mobile and everything came clean. No malwares or viruses...

The only dilemma I am having right now is even if someone have cracked my email and password and logged in, Still Stake asks for 2FA while withdrawing.
How did they passed that..?
Official reply from my VIP Host: "Nothing more than you could see in your transactions."

Does anyone have any answer to this.? A site like Stake or Binance or any exchange for that matter, why no one is doing this..?
Why there is not authenticity check when the user logs in from a different country in a day's time or even whenever he logs in from a different country rather than his home country.?
4  Economy / Scam Accusations / Funds withdrawn from Stake without 2FA. on: December 18, 2023, 03:16:28 PM
Hi everyone,

I dont know if anyone remembers me or not but I was an active member on this forum for years..

I write this post with a heavy heart to tell everyone the incident happened with me 3 days ago.

All of my BTC from my Stake account got transferred to some unknown address without my knowledge. I can firmly say that I dont click random website links and I can more surely say that I have never given my credentials to anyone. Also Stake asks for 2FA when you try to withdraw funds even when you are logged in. Still funds got transferred without my knowledge.

The official reply from Stake to me:
"Please follow our instructions and you shouldn't experience any similar things ever again. We understand your concerns, but we are not able to track your activity across the web to be sure where the issue happened."
"We are truly sorry for what happened."

My Question: How can a withdraw gets accepted without 2fa?
Reply: There are numerous ways that we are not familiar with.


Stake team is not providing me any details about the withdrawal. And on that they say their security is impenetrable.

Another point I want to ask to everyone here
Why there is not authenticity check when the user logs in from a different country in a day's time or even whenever he logs in from a different country rather than his home country.?

LINK is a great investment of you're a long term holder and trader but in my honest opinion, the issue with link is that no exchange will give any staking profit for link. Either you have to put them on a liquidity pool or lend them somewhere which have their own disadvantages.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What goes up must come down on: June 22, 2021, 05:01:44 PM
Looking back at 2 month old Post from OP, it looks like what he/she was feeling was absolutely right. People will take profits, it's not like everyone will hold forever but how much they'll sell is a topic of discussion. BTC dumped below 30k$ today but pumped back to 32k$+, means there are buyers waiting for it to get dumped as long as we have loyal buyers we'll be looking at a potential Bull run in the future.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Michael Saylor owns 0,5% of Bitcoin Supply on: June 22, 2021, 02:19:16 PM
Frankly speaking, Micheal Saylor is the only person who is from our community and most probably getting happy by this dump below 30k$. He'll definitely buy more and more as the price dips below his average price. He'll have more than 1% for sure and will be the market maker.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [Public Sale at Sovryn] Babel Fish | Money Protocol on: June 21, 2021, 05:39:49 PM
I just read somewhere that the public sale has been postponed.. is it true..? When is it now..? Also what is the reason behind postponement..?
I was curiously waiting for the sale as I wanted to buy the $fish.

Its all about risk management and governance, But its being talk right now and the developers are actively seeking solutions on this dilemma. Many are eagerly waiting for the public sale but a debate about the topic arise in the discord group. so the dev are working on a solutions to that before the sale can push thru.

Thank you for that answer, I'll be joining the discord channel today.
People are still not completely educated about the RSK network but really want to get into Sovryn platform and $fish. Hopefully, we'll see the sale happening as planned and I'll be able to get my hands on some $fish.

First of all, they made so much hype about this match, if they had at least half of the effort in climate prediction then it would have been a better thing. It's for sure now that there will not be a concrete result and I don't know any way of making a decision on the result here. We had waited for more than a year now for the world champion. All my bets were on India but it looks like that's out of picture now.

Even after this much buying Bitcoin is not able to recover above 40k$. Because of the Chinese FUD, we are not able to see the hash rate and we badly need some support on mining.
If Micheal Saylor is reading this then I would request him to look at it and work towards making Bitcoin mining a better thing.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you make money with NFTs? on: June 21, 2021, 02:14:51 PM
There are many games where you can earn NFTs by playing regularly and you can sell them when the game gets famous or when it's coin gets listed on an exchange. Rplanet is getting popular these days with its staking feature and sales.

13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I have 1000 usd , where to invest , on: June 20, 2021, 05:45:13 PM
Looking at the present situation of the market, it will be a better choice to hold on to your usd or stake it somewhere or even lending is a good option to increase your total value. Alts are not doing well and BTC is going sideways so be cautious about any trades.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Have you given up on airdrop? on: June 20, 2021, 04:28:29 PM
The early airdrops were highly successful. They did their purpose of distributing the tokens to a large group of community and distributing the holding power. But soon it became a trend and scam projects started using the airdrops to their advantage, list the coin on an exchange and manipulate with the price.
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $65,000 the peak of this bull market? on: June 20, 2021, 03:49:47 PM
It looks like the $65000 is the peak right now, the market looks really bad even when we have a great news like El Salvador considering BTC as legal tender, the market is not showing any signs of recovering. The death cross happened and we might see more bears than bulls..
16  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: $9 Billion worth trades got liquidated in last 24 hours. on: June 20, 2021, 02:37:22 PM
Margin trading and future trading is too much risky. A stop loss for every trade is must and in a market fluctuation like this, it is best to not trade and leave trading for sometime. If you have alts and your positions is at loss then hold them for sometime.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be the biggest bubble economy in history? on: June 20, 2021, 01:37:29 PM
The OP needs to study more about Fiat rather than Bitcoin. Bitcoin is in existence from more than 10 years now and we only see more people and even the institutional investors are getting into it as the time goes. People need to understand what a bubble is and it is not like the whole market price can be manipulated by some people now.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is buying three bitcoin worth it? on: June 19, 2021, 07:01:08 PM
Learn about Bitcoin and crypto first. What are they? How they work? Uses? Start with the basic things and then move your level up. If you are thinking of holding on to Bitcoin for a long time then I would suggest invest in parts. Don't invest everything at once, you might get lucky.
And don't invest what you're not afford to lose.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: another bullrun before 2021 ends on: June 19, 2021, 06:09:52 PM
Speculating about Bitcoin is harder than ever now. BTC plays out differently as there are institutional users are more now. These investor's change with market sentiments, most of them are not a believer of crypto but here just to make money. We might see an ETH out burst when the update is near.
20  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you know when to sell? on: June 15, 2021, 05:48:45 PM
First of all, never leave it long to sell. That's not a strategy, that's a death wish. Most of the alts will be pumping and dumping. Don't think that alts will keep on pumping like Bitcoin. The best strategy is to start selling once it reaches 2-3x of your buy price.
