Thus far I wasn't scammed or got coins stolen. Guess I was lucky. But amongst other things wallet security is one of the most pressing problems if any of the cryptocoins is to ever become more than some niche thing for a bunch of nerds. And that's what they still are. The fact that some of the coins actually have some nice value to them just means that some of the rich nerds got into the game.

I tend to keep passwords on a small notebook. There is a lesser chance the notebook is lost, stolen or looked-at than forgetting different long and complex passwords for a number of sites, servers. etc.

I did (almost) everything right, but then my roommate ripped me off when I went to the shower! He denied everything, but moved out soon after. Lesson: keep your computer locked down always, even when your in the "safety" of your own home.

I just wanted to hear some stories and other people's experience with stolen coins. I recently played around with mining BBQcoins because the difficulty was low enough that my CPU mined almost 50 over the weekend on bbq.ltcoin.net About three hours ago someone changed my wallet address and cashed out all of my coins. Easy come, easy go I guess. As far as I know nothing can be done about it. Here's a link to the offending address transactions: http://bbq.cryptocoinexplorer.com/a/bNrig8885jThe 40.54 and 3.28 balances used to be mine. Chad Chad, I think this is systemic to ltcoin.net - their admin emailed me last night to check that my wallet address was right (for mining YAC), however it was NOT. Luckily for me, I mine enough that I auto-cashout every 8-12 hours, and didn't have enough for a cashout on the next payout after it got changed. I don't think this is an account-stealing thing, this is more likely a vulnerability in the web software (I would guess a SQL injection vulnerability somewhere). Sorry you lost your BBQ though - stinks man. I still haven't heard back from the admin of that site. Sounds like he knows there is a problem though. Chad |

Somebody stole from me around 15 BTC back in 2010, I trusted a guy and send the bitcoins first. But one thing I regret is formatting my HDD with around 100 BTC in 2010.
