It really looks like an inside job.
"Dr. Amitabh Saxena" should have the ability to split coins safely, I managed to do it myself without incident.
Disappointed Shareholder
Considering he is a "Scientist" & a "Crypto-Expert" it should have been a child's play for him.But no,he had to come up with better excuses to steal the money.Less should we care.Anyway,do you hold the company shares or have any stakes at the company ? I don't know how should I interpret the term shareholder as.Did you lose bitcoins too ?

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: [BOUNTY]🚀StasyQ - brings crypto revolution to the adult industry
|
on: April 19, 2018, 05:23:35 AM

Hi Bounty Hunters, As per the admins,the ICO unfortunately has been paused with the following message ICO IS PAUSED! :zap: Dear StasyQ Supporters! We have some important news for you. First of all, our team would like to thank you for the interest you’ve shown in StasyQ ICO and for being with us. We would especially like to thank all of the people who made contributions and participated in our bounty and referral programs. However, we regret to inform you that, due to an unfavorable ICO market situation, we have to discontinue StasyQ ICO and refund all of the contributions. We are really passionate about what we do, and we want StasyQ to be a real game-changing project in the adult industry, but we understand that with the current market the way it is, there is no chance of closing the hard-cap and collecting enough funds to create a platform the way we, and our community want StasyQ to be. It was hard for us to make this decision, but it was necessary in the interest of all current, and future contributors, and supporters. Important things to know: - The ICO itself will not be discontinued, but we are going to pause it until the market recovers - All contributions will be returned to the ETH addresses from which they were received - We do not require our contributors to return tokens — you should keep them and wait for ICO re-launch - All bounty stakes will be retained and taken into account after ICO re-launch, the same applies to airdrop tokens - Despite the fact that we froze the ICO, we have not stopped the StasyQ ecosystem development process, so stay tuned for updates! Refunds: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x794cd57301163842f589b65c03a47d20606dc9344a21712e41f0c94c2c666ec9https://etherscan.io/tx/0x04e3ed84a693fcc95ef21e5c468a8c999cdd462da95bcb71776878f8ea4cbad9etherscan.io Ethereum Transaction 0x794cd57301163842f589b65c03a47d20606dc9344a21712e41f0c94c2c666ec9 Ethereum (ETH) detailed transaction info for 0x794cd57301163842f589b65c03a47d20606dc9344a21712e41f0c94c2c666ec9 This will be the last week for the bounty before final sheets will be locked and updated.Bounty sheets will be opened again once the ICO is resumed.As long as your stakes are concerned,they will be updated and taken care of as the bounty starts again.

I am saving it for the future By the way I really missed that corner all those days. It's totally fine man,it wasn't directed towards you.I was just addressing the type of queries we get around here.For instance,'How do I upload image' is the query which gets asked every other week when there are like 100 of threads explaining how to do the same.Worst case,people are dumb enough to use google.

Economy / Exchanges / Re: Major indian exchange gets hacked, 438 bitcoins stolen COINSECURE
|
on: April 17, 2018, 07:44:45 AM

All users who have their BTC with coinsecure should write to coinsecure that they want their BTC balance refunded fully in BTC not in INR.
Totally agree with you there ! If it was some random Syrian/Russian hacker who would have emptied all the funds from an exchange,the case would have been different.But this is an internal team fuck-up/inside job which should be taken care by the team members.From what I know,the have way more in profits/Funding from the total bitcoins lost so I don't see any issues with giving customers what they originally own. Only 438 BTC taken in this attack, eh? We've seen worse.
What's your point ? Are you implying some more BTC should have taken so it could match the previous records for your satisfaction ?

This. He claims to have brought up this context before as well. Dont get me wrong but it seems to me now that Joel is actually trying to promote their own name for the new mod taking advantage of the situation of the Coinsecure and Benson being AWOL (??)Not that I would have any objection to it. (I dont know about others though)
How am I taking advantage of the situation ? FYI,theymos removed Benson explicitly stating, Note that I removed Benson Samuel as moderator, but only because I view the situation as potentially too much of a conflict of interest. I have no reason to doubt Benson Samuel's character.
which I totally agree with.Here is my post (a year back) where you could see me whining about no strict moderation in the Indian Sub : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1940691.msg19271392#msg19271392But nice of you to put it in the Disclaimer.
Because I knew there could be cases of an ad hominem attack.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: No P2SH Block explorers ?
|
on: April 16, 2018, 01:26:09 PM

Were you the one that sent the transaction? From what I can tell, the block explorer didn't make any mistake. The address you're seeing is a bech32 address (bc1 prefix) and it is a standard for native segwit address and it's perfectly valid. The only reason why you can't parse the address on various block explorers is because they don't support it yet. Blockchair.com does support bech32 address.
No No..That address is from among the one I'm tracking here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3330578.msg34812017#msg34812017 Thank you for suggesting Blockchair.com ,they do support the given address. To my knowledge, no block explorer actually displays the public keys involved. They can be derived from the redeem script.
Thanks.I'll figure that out!

Coinsecure recently had their offline Bitcoin wallets hacked. The hackers have siphoned off with an astounding 438 BTC (worth more than 3 million USD). The news came in just a few days after RBI announced a virtual ban on cryptocurrencies in India.
You know,80% of the traders on such exchanges are dumb as fuck and have no idea how bitcoin works or what a wallet is.Not to mention but I was added to a telegram group with more than 2000 Indian traders who trade often on platforms like Coinsecure and Zebpay.They were surprised when I asked did you guys updated your core wallets.Most of them had no idea what a bitcoin wallet is and their only source of storing bitcoins was an exchange wallet.I clearly saw this coming.

Good Find.Obvious scam. The copied one has nicely edited all the details from the original website which contained detailed information about the team/contact.Did you tried reporting them to the original website owners ? You should.Moreover,hiding the domain details raises another red flag that their ICO is a scam.

If I can't recommend my own name then I'd recommend Amitabh S Last Active : November 12, 2017, 07:24:57 PM Crime : Stole 438 Bitcoins from an Indian exchange being the CSO of the company.No offence but are you not aware of the on-going drama with the coinsecure's hack ? Amitabh Saxena is the prime suspect as per Benson/Mohit and everybody else in the team.Plus I would want someone to be a moderator who is not just about degrees and knowledge but also dedicates time to handle reports on bitcointalk. Being the moderator means someone who's the defacto leader of that community, Benson is perfect for that role because he listens, he's been busy and slightly less active here but set that aside I don't think someone can actually replace him. But a second moderator to assist him? THAT surely can happen.
Not necessarily.Being a moderator should only mean someone who is an active reporter,an established member of the community and of course takes efforts to keep the forum clean.Same person being the defacto leader of the community is just an advantage. Muhammed Zakir can replace Benson any given day! Too bad he isn't active anymore.

Sure,that certainly seems insightful.Cross Quoting it here as well Dr. Amitabh Saxena was appointed as Coinsecure CSO in Sept, 2017. Dr. Amitabh Saxena has immense experience including a stint as a professor of Computer Science in Australia for several years. He has also worked with giants such as Hewlett Packard and Accenture. https://www.cryptoninjas.net/2017/09/24/dr-amitabh-saxena-appointed-c-s-o-bitcoin-exchange-coinsecure/. How is it possible that such experienced person can make mistake like this while dealing with 438.31BTC which is worth about $3.8million? 9th April, 2018 - Coinsecure update on webpage says 438.31859715 BTC siphoned out to BTC Address 1BaEJquitskdXcTj53Uy6PuUtJ5a8ETWpA between 12:35 AM IST - 06:29 AM IST. In fact 438.31859715 BTC was moved to above mentioned address between 2018-04-08 19:05:07 - 2018-04-09 00:40:50, please verify here https://blockchain.info/address/1BaEJquitskdXcTj53Uy6PuUtJ5a8ETWpA . Some of Coinsecure's lost BTC funds are currently in addresses below. 1BaEJquitskdXcTj53Uy6PuUtJ5a8ETWpA 139.42094629 BTC 1EL6w4XM7MVXJocdKbUprQszDkV87EQHeZ 9.44412409 BTC 3QmzSdCoPNQqpFmyyDFpMqWiTdLFrvLXfx 1.10477778 BTC 38GGuZBJD23uav4o2Urzqo3ZNkKUjr5xx3 12.49789000 BTC 19984XPvZux8bEdW4SBPmknevWZauamCnG 65.17902000 BTC 38RKQE1Mx9cmhB5j1xbMhmJLudANouWD5C 6.62085686 BTC Coinsecure update-2 Friday, 13.04.2018 stating BTC funds siphoned, complaint reported to cyber cell Delhi and they are working with invetigation authorities. No BTC funds are transfered out of address 1BaEJquitskdXcTj53Uy6PuUtJ5a8ETWpA after 2018-04-13 08:46:22. Why Coinsecure don't updates more details about exactly what happened? Was this happened before insertion of private key or after insertion? What wallet was used for BTG fork coins? 1.Inside Job ? I'm surprised Benson Samuel didn't care to give an update on bitcointalk yet.Makes it seem like he took the moderator status for granted. 2.There's a lot more to it. - Which wallet was used to store or fork the coins from ? - How was the server accessed ? - How many members from among the team had access to these wallets ? - How did the keys get compromised ?

@joel_jantsen, I would say let the dust settle a bit and let theymos decide how to proceed based on the hack investigations.
I doubt it is not just a hack but Indian forum lacks strong moderation in general.I had brought up the issue a few months back as well (unfortunately I couldn't find the thread) If theymos is actually looking for a moderator for the Indian Sub-board, then I would like to apply for the same. I am an Indian and I browse through the Indian board now-and-then and report spammy posts as soon as I encounter one.
The fact that you are appointing yourself doesn't seem very reliable.Don't get me wrong but you should have the other moderators/established members feel the same about you.And by established members I don't mean the accounts you suck up to. (not directed towards you but there are cases where established members will only promote accounts they're "good friends" with and not someone actually deserving )

It's really hard to track them once they have entered the mixer.Those bitcoins are as good as gone. Instead of tracking down the bitcoins, they should be track down the hacker.How did the keys got leaked in the first place?What could have caused the leak?
Hard.Not impossible.Like I said,they have already filed an FIR against their CSO as a prime suspect.Given the technology and interest of the Indian Cyber Cell department on the subject,they will never find out if the accused is actually a hacker given that even the Coinsecure team doesn't have solid evidences against him. Coinsecure should give more details about the origin of the attack.The customers deserves to know it.It wasn't their money at first place! Inspecting the origin of the hack will give better leads rather than searching for a needle in a haystack.
You might as want to read their updates on the website,that should be enough to begin with.
