For the record, I seem to have been paid out in full. It was in the 20 BTC ball-park.
Thinking back on things, I probably had some Instawallets that I experimented with and forgot about with tiny sums, or with what were tiny sums when the price was in the single digits. I don't suppose that Bitcoin-Central will tell us what their take was from unclaimed wallets. Hopefully they will at least be good guys and distribute such proceeds to the large wallet holders which they may or may not be able to make whole.
About the time Instawallet went down I found a stash in a plain old wallet file in the multiple hundreds (of BTC) which I had forgotten about. A nice little surprise, and indicative of how us 'old timers' can lose track of what can eventually become a noticeable amount of value. Thankfully I'd 'cleaned out' my Bitcoinica account before those guys took their pay-day, but I still had 2 or 3 BTC there. At $5/BTC it wasn't a big deal but now it kind of irks me a bit that ~vess or whoever has several hundred dollars which they stole from me.
Again, I hope that when the dust settles, Bitcoin-Central can find the time to issue a credible report on all of the happenings and it would go some distance toward demonstrating that they are, on some level at least, trustworthy.
I had a wallet that I lost he URL of last year with 200btc in. At the time it was worth £600 and I just wrote it off as the warning about losing the urls was very clear.
To be honest any extra they have can be kept as they were completely upfront with this fact. However it looks like they are planning on paying out large wallets in full even though today was a write off for my main one.
I have already given ID and am happy to give more as asked but when you ask me something and I respond within 30 seconds it would be nice to extend the same courtesy.
4pm today was the supposed deadline. It is now the 20th and I am still without a large amount of my btc. If everything gets repaid I probably will forget about it but still, it wouldn't take much to respond to questions asked.
I just hope this will get sorted ASAP and will not be dragged on until next Friday. I have supplied all the info that has been asked for and there is no doubt the wallets are mine. I planned on having a great night out tonight but instead I have been stressing about my money, refreshing my phone and generally not being very sociable.
Davout and Boussac. I genuinely believe you are good guys but really hope you can understand having this much money tied up is a very stressful situation.
I think bitcoin central looks like a great service and if everything goes well I will not hesitate in using these services as trust has obviously been earnt. (Even if it was a little inefficient)
