Hi All,

Been reading the forums for a while now but only now had the need to create a thread and discovered Newbies are limited to the Newbie forum.

Regarding these:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131608.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131574.0

I've read through both threads and one thing is still unclear to me: Did this involve blockchain.info's anonymizing feature and was Roger able to find out the account details even after this feature was used?

This would be a concern if the blockchain.info admin's could still see what wallet an anonymous transfers went to?

I don't believe the anonymizing feature was at issue here: he simply represented to a Blockchain.info user that he was able to determine that a certain address was in his wallet.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable.  I never believe them.  If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins.  I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.  Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice.  Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.
