I wish you the best of luck in getting your bitcoins back
is it possible to get one's bitcoins back after they have been stollen? The whole system is built to be anonymous and has no centralization so there's no way to put insurance on the bitcoins is there?
I would think once it's gone it's gone.
No way to get them back unless the thief
gives them back.
Basically once they are gone they are gone.
Did you store your private key on your mac? Private keys should be kept in cold storage (ie: offline computers). Perhaps a hacker found your private key.
I appreciate you are trying to help (or just get your post count up) but FYI when you install a client on your computer
all your private keys are kept in the wallet. That is the way it works. Your question does not make any sense. Your statement "Private keys should be kept in cold storage" also makes no sense.
Did your coins show up yet
What do you mean "show up"? Show up from where? We all know exactly where all 3.17115309 of his coins went. They are here:
