My coins are gone? i loaded all my coins into the wallet last night and now they are all gone. is this supposed to happen or did I get robbed?
You probably used the link that was quoted by Mr. Gibbs. It has a Trojan to steal coins. A common scam on bitcointalk is for these scumbags to infest a new coin and quote the Devs link to the wallet but change the link to a wallet with a built in back door. You may have compromised your whole computer and all of your wallets and any other sensitive data.

Where were they sent? To which address? How do you "load coins into a wallet?" the address is VQiLDfxG88aHakAwgn9NAsUg4kMEPSNJTD I sent my viral from c-cex to the wallet with a address I created in the wallet.

Again all I can say is that is very weird. Gibbs is a good guy so I can only speculate that if what you say is indeed true that his BCT account may have been compromised.
Are the stolen funds trackable on the blockchain?
He does not have enough history for you to make that claim. Speaking of history if you look through his he sure spends a lot of time quoting posts with wallet links in them. Not basing that on his history but rather my encounters with him in IRC/Slack etc What you are saying is pretty heavy. In the interest of being thorough Ill dig into his post history more.

Development Update:
Regarding POS questions:
Also, make sure that your wallet stays open and is not encrypted. Encrypted wallets will not stake.
Wait. What? Are you sure about that? That means we can not password protect our wallets. Mine is encrypted but only unlocked for staking purposes. Is that what you meant? If not then you have some security issues to deal with. When you unlock the wallet, there is the option to enable "for staking only". So yes, that is what he meant. -tb-

I fucking hate these hackers. I truly feel bad for the guys who got robbed. I assume as the day goes on more people will be coming out of the woodwork claiming lost coins. You guys made a serious error and hopefully you'll take from this and never download any wallet unless it is in the op.

I suspect that some crowdfunders are going to dump some later on today but I suggest to you all to stay the course and sit on your stacks. A 25-30% gain is nothing. I will be laying in wait to snatch up the cheap coins and wait on the moon shot!
Looks like I was wrong on this and that is a good thing. See Bob is not such a bad guy after all. He could have dumped for a quick profit but chooses to stick with it because he sees the potential.

I believe that I downloaded that bad link too, first. when I ran the qt file it just errored our and I thought it was a bad file, then I went to github and downloaded the 0.9.3.0 version. then I ran a virus scan just to be sure in case the first file was bad. then I went to bed.
Is there any way to get my viral back, or am I out of luck?
Hi It was noted in the original wallet download post to be careful to only use our original authentic links. It is unfortunate that a thread user has apparently ensnared people. He has been turned over to forum mods. This is not what out community is like, and we feel it is unfortunate this incident has occurred. Viraldev

I ran a virus scan last night when I downloaded the github wallet when I realized the other one was working. It is possible he took my viral before the scan ended. I just ran another and rebooted and am running another scan now just to be sure. I guess I will never see those coins again...

Hi Dev
After reading all the complaints here, I downloaded wallet from OP and then transferred my coins from C-CEX but still as soon as there was confirmation, they got stolen from my computer. Please help. I can post the address they went to and also pics of my wallet.
thanks

I'm annoyed that this is going on to be honest - it is one thing to scrap it out on the market place with sell walls and buy walls and everything that goes with it; its another to flat out rob someone blind. Damn you hackers to hell.

I have a hard time believing that. I have downloaded two wallets from the Dev. I scanned both of them with Malwarebytes and AVG and they cam up 100% clean. I think you downloaded from the quote of the link from Mr. Gibbs.
