I doubt the police will care. Try explaining BitCoins to them and see how far that get.  Roll Eyes

I say we track the owner down and beat the SHIT out of him and steal his money. Cool

Anyone using mybitcoin might want to double check that the login and password they used isn't the same they used on mtgox etc.

Going to post this to LeaseWeb. Anyone want me to add/change anything?

Code:
Hi,

This is in regard to an issue with the server that you host which runs www.mybitcoin.com, which is a Bitcoin wallet provider. The owner, Tom Williams, provides a service that allows people to store their funds on his server via transaction processing. Since his server is down and he is not responding to contact requests, this is affecting all of the (hundreds, thousands?) of users of his transaction service. This constitutes theft if he does not allow users to move their bitcoin wallet funds from his possession. If you are not aware of Bitcoins, they are a digital currency that has several international markets.

Please contact Tom Williams and/or have the server put back online (at least temporarily, so that the users can retrieve their funds from his digital service. If the users cannot get their funds then Tom Williams has stolen their money.

Feel free to contact me or see the post covering this issue on the Bitcoin forums: https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=33020.0

Thank you,

Concerned User

I'm sorry but wallet services like these are just dumb.  Yes, they may be convenient but you're literally asking for your coins to get stolen, hacked, etc

Agreed, which sucks because I was in the process of moving all of my distributed funds to a central encrypted wallet when the server went offline.

Wallet services are quite useful - because no confirmation is required for between users transfers.
But if mybitcoin turn out to be scam, it will be hard to gain trust for such service.

Bitcoin by design is decentralized currency. If you centralize it in some obscure services you are asking for problems. If you want to use Bitcoin bank, then bank real address, name, phone number, photo of owner's face confirmed by 3rd party should be ABSOLUTE MINIMUM for you to even consider storing money there.

I prefer anonymous e-wallet service with anonymous owner who have a reputation.

In any case, the problem with mybitcoin is that they have no communication channel. Even if they have not stolen my money, I still move out...because they shown poor services.
