Don't be that naive. Factom used this method to get some attention and if you do the math, you will see: Approximately 31 BTC / 0.0005 BTC = 62,000 "Dust-transactions". Even friends of mine got a little surprise from Factom without having connections to Factom or being invested. And no, to be recognized as supporter of blockchain-technologies (because somebody obviously has a Bitcoin-address) doesn't mean what you would like to imply with: "recognized as early adopters or supporters of factom foundation and could even be among backers of their ico. Or they themselves could work at factom."Or do you believe Factom recognized early adopters of Factom by sending 0.0005 BTC to approx. 65,000 random addresses? That's ridiculous. And again: They didn't say that. Johnston said: "The reason the Factom team sent these bitcoins out is to recognize you as an early adopter / supporter of new blockchain technology projects. (Your address was among many on the bitcoin ledger who previous supported other community projects)
We hope you will check out the Factom Software Sale and use this bit of bitcoin to claim your first Factoid(s) and thus be able to join our community as a beta tester / early adopter. "He also said: "If you aren't interested, that's cool just keep the BTC as a small tip for being an active part of the community."
It's called advertising. ;-) |

I monitored Cryptsy Bitcoin and other alts wallets through blockchain analysis and it is pretty hard to me to believe that theft is caused by trojan virus infiltration to cold wallet. First of all Cryptsy cold wallet then was not cold at all,otherwise how virus jumped to it from server? Blockchain analysis gave me information that theft began not at 13:37:26 as posted on Cryptsy blog,but 5 hours earlier,through attack on hot wallet.Incident occured at 08:27:48,when someone took 500 BTC through 5 txs of 100 BTC each - https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/Cryptsy.com-old?page=1202These txs were: https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/e68f52a38f58e71b951a08650e20aea3f62f7331a3f548e99181f6dbf1cc1d51https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/48721871b11f716688fcf80a91a5c7586a1dddee83d90b84b564f3f29e11504chttps://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/790aa7ec2678552c88cf95110c0df4bcc16a72b8f7e6f331292b977cc6e481dfhttps://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/e8bb46bc6ea5f4580dd2b73f5d6a116e9023c84eb7c0fd4f34bcef3aca606fadhttps://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/f3998a7e2e8b451106327d2c6e7f73ba58c2fd54b4bb3595b18a2d76e7d15f44Cryptsy employees did not notice that their hot wallet was robbed for 5 hours,when big hack happenned to cold wallet.

To imply there would be close connections to everybody who received the "0.0005 BTC - flyer" is absurd. |

Read this taken from http://blog.cryptsy.com/: These are the approximate figures taken: Bitcoin: 13,000 BTC Litecoin: 300,000 LTC This of course was a critical event for Cryptsy, however at the time the website was earning more than it was spending and we still have some reserves of those cryptocurrencies on hand. The decision was made to pull from our profits to fill these wallets back up over time, thus attempting to avert complete closure of the website at that time. This worked fine for awhile, as profits decreased due to low volume and low Bitcoin prices, we would adjust our spending accordingly. It wasn’t until an article from Coinfire came out that contained many false accusations that things began to crumble. The article basically caused a bank-run, and since we only had so much in reserves for those currencies problems began. Our current customer liabilities for BTC is around 10,000 BTC, so as you can see we would like to see the Bitcoins returned for both our users and for ourselves. Here are the transaction details from the Bitcoin wallet: https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/0c07e0bec1002bd2As you can see, 2014-07-29 13:17:36 is when the event occurred. A very interesting fact here, however, is that those Bitcoins have not moved once since this happened. This gives rise to the possibility they can be recovered. In fact, I’m offering a bounty of 1000 BTC for information which leads to the recovery of the stolen coins. recovered. In fact, I’m offering a bounty of 1000 BTC for information which leads to the recovery of the stolen coins.

I’m obviously open to any other ideas people may have on this. If you have information, you can email reward@cryptsy.comHi, my idea: withdrawal all altcoins to users who this requested and where the coins are exists. create a contract like (MN-contracts) between the users of the group they do not payout or where not enough coins are available. then payout the profit of cryptsy (day, week or month) to the contract-holder. so change cryptsy in a community-project. Paul Vernon: This is an excellent idea! Seeing that I'm now flat broke, I'm hoping that the community will come together and donate to this noble cause. I promise that all moneys will be paid to the support staff manning the small office, with myself only earning a token $500/wk salary. <the following at the expense of BF> Paul Vernon: To paraphrase a wise man, let's call him Bruce Fenton, he said that an audit of past events will only reveal corruption with all them shady characters gone, so we should work with the new Cryptsy team because the world needs an A-1 altcoin exchange. |

I guess the potential upside to this is that with the Federal government's stance on Crypto scams, it won't be long before Big Vern is sitting somewhere taxpayer funded with Joshie and hopefully Marshall Long too. I'm out about 1 BTC so I can't complain that much; rule of thumb, exchanges are for exchanging not storing, but still, how outright fucking seedy to have known this was going on for well over a year and continuing to let people trade. I guess it's not so surprising given that our community is disproportionately inhabited by scammers and thieves. However most of them had the good sense to operate somewhere besides the US and under fictitious names. Fuck you Big Vern. Seriously. Hacks happen but you handled this like a first class douche. After all the fraud on all the exchanges, I still can't believe the amount of funds that people keep in the exchanges. Just another lesson today from Cryptsy courtesy of Big Vern and the crew. When will people learn?
Exactly. This is why you don't move your coins to an exchange until you're gonna trade 'em. After the supposed thief, Paul Vernon went on a spending spree: Paid for an office in Canada a year in advance; Purchase a million-plus-dollar home in Florida; Traveled to China; Paid lawyers for business and personal needs (ongoing); There's more eluding me at this penning among other expenses yet to come to light, but you get the pic. |

Did the 10,000 start to sell off? Ok so here is an Option that isn't listed. Cryptsy to be owned by all the account holders. They own it outright! How is a BankruPTSY going to solve even a fraction of the losses? Some servers and a Credenza sold off? Community takeover! Not sure if people would trust it again but this is better than Bankruptcy. Trading can go back to fees and all fees are split until each holder is paid off. If they already made back 3000 of the coins then time is the only factor. Also when the Alts were traded for BTC all of these trades were technically on an internal ledger not associated with a BitCoin wallet. If there are no BitCoin to back any trades then this is the only possibility how trading kept going and the halting was on the withdrawing process when it converts to real BitCoin. So this is the real crime since other insiders could now take their Fake BTC and LTC sell them for other coins and get out leaving the buyers holding the fake BTC. Halting and investigation was the only legal option. Unless the investigation just lead them back to Cryptsy. No the coins have not moved (yet?). Once they do, i'm sure everyone will know very fast though. I'm also amazed beyond belief that they would just brush off a theft of over 5 million USD!!  Let's play Who's Dumber! Paul Vernon: Has millions stolen but doesn't call the police. Thief: Stole millions but doesn't spend the money for a year and a half after learning there's no police report. |

@peoonminer do you have your old wallet stuff bookmarked ?
Does that old wallet with 6 million match the address info in Vern's Blog post ?
No they do not. The thief was extremely careful to not make that connection, putting the stolen coins in brand new addresses associated with nobody. |

You coin dev you ! hahahah So what happened account inactivity ? "Inactivity" AKA We lost everyone's money so we are appropriating your funds to try and survive. More like we most everybody's coins and allocating the rest to afford ourselves a comfortable living till we're gone, then live even more comfortable when the smoke clears off what we stole from monumental assholes.
