Walletbit closing with my money

[lindal]

Soooo.. Apparently, Walletbit has closed. I found this out totally by accident - just happened to visit the site and see their "closed" page.

Notice was given here, and they updated their site, but I guess it was too much trouble to send out an email to their users? Now, they have no phone contact info on their site because they have "no staff."

I actually have a balance over there and, of course, can't log in. The password reset procedure works but then it just rejects my login. They close for good on the 15th, and I guess at that time they'll just pocket whatever balances they have.

Anyone know how to get in touch with those folks? They don't have a ton of my coin but the idea that they have any is pretty frustrating.

Announcement here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=249751.0

Edit: Heard back from info@walletbit.com, poked around with the password reset and login form some more, and now all is well. The coins are back in hand.

Don't worry, I'm sure suckers will still use BIPS.

lindal,

We will of cause not just run out and spend your bitcoins, the service will just shut down, we'll retain the database and people's account balances, if those few coins left doesn't get withdrawn in time. You will always have the possibility of contacting me, and I will see to it that any outstanding balance is sent directly.

TradeFortress, I think you might be going a bit over the line. Calling BIPS customers suckers ?

I seriously don't like making comments on competitors, however how you're handling WalletBit isn't really good IMO. Instawallet at least had a 90 day claim window.

To me, this would be a betrayal of trust, even if I'm the only user who still uses it. But people choose to do business differently and we should leave it at that.

Let's just leave it as that, shall we... I just don't see your point in the above. If you can provide no help to lindal, why did you even post in this thread ?

Hi Kris,

I just stumbled upon this thread when I was checking the status of my coins at Walletbit. Since I just joined the forum, I cannot send you a PM. What is my course of action to withdraw my coins at Walletbit? I only found out that the site closed down today but I see that it has been shut down as of July 15, 2013.

Thanks,

Leo

Hi,

same question for my as BestJinjo.
How do we get in touch with the WalletBit team?

thanks!

[bobsmo]

Same here amazingly enough....can't believe no emails were sent.....so how can I get my BC's or contact the team?

Thanks.

[Kris]

Please contact the WalletBit team by email.

[KeepIt300D]

Glad to hear you got your money back bro.

[carolyn]

The walletbit website is down, how do I contact the walletbit team to recover my bitcoins.

Thank you.

[Zeus the GOD]

C'mon guys use offline wallets only!!!!

[carolyn]

Ok, now I'm worried, really worried.  I left two emails last week at info@walletbit.com and no response.  I'd sure like to know how the other people on this thread got their coins back.

Did you ever get your coins back?

I have a few coins stuck at BIPS (which is according to Kris have been a victim of an attack).
I always considered Kris to be a honest guy - I hope that I am not wrong...

one word ''run''
cash out and run away from them.
simple.

[carolyn]

Thank you Kris!

I have a dialogue started with info@walletbit, so it seems promising.  I'll keep you all posted.

Please contact the WalletBit team by email.

Hi,

Can you please confirm that  info@walletbit.com is the correct and working Email address to make contact in regards accessing our walletbit held bitcoins? I have 0.37720969 still left in mine and had absolutely no idea walletbit was being shut down, was an Email sent out to all customers? As I definitely did not receive one.

Thanks in advance.

If they are willing to give you the money they owe you, consider taking legal action with a lawyer, there is no way they can ignore that.

I hope users reading this learn to put their payments to go to to a cold wallet thats offline and runs on linux, and to only transfer bitcoins to a hot wallet when you are going to make a transaction. The point of bitcoin was that people would no longer have to rely on anyone to keep their wealth safe, by using services like this, what's the difference from a bank?


and there are ways to keep your money very secure by yourself. If anyone wants to know my method of security just PM me
