Nice find Mushoz. Updating the OP.

TLDR: I paid for the 40 BitBars for about 0.56 bitcoin per bar from BlastBob!!!

Update! Moderator refused to step in. Gave weak reasons imo, would only have taken that person 5 minutes to log into my account and check my private messages.

I hate to post a private trade publicly but since the moderator won't step in I have no choice.

I bought the BitBars from BlastBob. I saw him post in a topic saying he had 50 to sell and offered to take 40 of them. I said I would pay 0.6 btc per bar in 4 transactions (ended up being 0.56 each or something). I had no idea if he is connected to BitBars. I noticed in the YAC launch thread he very quickly accumulated a ton of YACs and has sold at least 30k - I doubt he is behind YAC too, I think he just has one of the best mining mega rigs around. I noticed the next day after I bought my BitBars from him that he was selling a lot of them.

I sent the money to him directly from my btc-e wallet. Am I allowed to post his bitcoin address? It should show the money going in there

I bought my BitBars in good faith and have learnt a good lesson! Innocently buying coins from the wrong person leads to stupid people calling you a scammer.

I am deleting all messages in ALL CAPS bright red font. Nothing personal. Looking at you hdclover.

The topic I set up here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202089.0

Is fact based only. I ask for no fud and only reports of stolen bitcoins. I have updated the original post saying one of the people claiming to have lost coins has now come forward saying his account was hacked. Sorry for trying to help people idiot.

Dude stop this you are not helping.

Already added to the original post.

Post a stupid claim about me and get deleted. This is for reports of people who are claiming lost Bitcoins.

So far the reports are contained to 4 people creating all these topics (some of them making multiple topics): bennybong, Aahzman, Brewins and hdclover. Now poly has stepped forward.

It is looking increasingly likely something bad is happening here.

Important update: user who claimed to have lost bitcoins is now saying his account was hacked and someone else made those remarks:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202068.msg2110230#msg2110230

How you can help:

1. Please add reports. It seems this is occuring to individuals who ran the windows binary downloaded from mega.
2. If affected, PLEASE state what programs you downloaded. if you downloaded the windows binary, was it definitely from the first page of the Launch topic or was it a repost to Mega you downloaded? Important!

Everyone:

1. If your Bitcoin wallet isn't encrypted, encrypt it immediately.

Possible source of Trojan is NOT in the client:

The possible cause of these claims maybe this miner which has suspicious activity in it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202089.msg2110724#msg2110724 This is NOT the client and is NOT officially connected to YAC.

Yes looking at this more closely so far I am only seeing two users making the same topics about this

Have you downloaded any other yacoin related programs or mining software?

If not, oh shit.

I woke up this morning and this transaction had gone through for me overnight.

Can you see it on the bitbar block chain explorer over at cryptochain explorer?

Also, try running the rescan command to synch up your bitbar client.

Been stuck at 0 confirms for almost 2 hours.

Any tips on how to speed this mutha up?

Morpheus is that you?

Lol it's called Net Coin.

I wouldn't touch it unless you run it in a virtual machine.

BushStar thinks it's the low hashrate.

Come on guys, rally that hashrate back up for papa.

If nothing else it's an interesting economics experiment - make a coin super scarce to mine, if people decide it has value what happens to the price. It is kind of cool seeing an alt crypto selling for $50... will be interesting to see where it ends up a week from now, price seems quite volatile.

+2. I thought I was in this position once and the feeling was sickening (turned out btc-e.com was just down for 12 hours). Ever since then, I instantly take coins off an exchange after a transaction.
