I just lost my entire wallet of 13 BTC.

[cryptosec.info]

It is hard to imagine hackers doing such bad things. In fact, I can not imagine and endorse any way or method. Unlike MEW, bitcoins are safer. Unfortunately. It's relatively high value right now.

? ? ?

Are you really comparing MEW(a wallet) to bitcoin(a cryptocurrency)?

[EditorK]

Oh, that's terrible
I think criminals have not a whit of conscience..
I hope you find it, Buddy.

Its unfortunate that  scammers still exist and they are always on the look and very alert to take advantage of the slightest mistake you make to steal your coins 13 BTC is quite a lot but the problem is even if the thief is reading your post now, he may never return your BTC,

Sorry for your loss bro. It has been said times without number that before you attempt to claim any fork you should move your fund to a new wallet before proceeding with the claiming procedure.

[cryptoios]

Sorry to hear!

[gabbie2010]

It is very sad and unfortunate to lose such a huge amount of bitcoin to hackers, I encouraged hodlers to learn a lesson how to secure our wallets by taking more precautionary actions towards protecting our btc again we should avoid tampering with technical issues in our wallets such as forking out coins from the existing btc this can expose and makes us vulnerable to hackers.

[VitKoyn]

There are two things that you did wrong that's why you've lost your Bitcoins, first you didn't transfer those Bitcoins to a new address/wallet before attempting to sweep/import those private keys to claim that forked coins, it is always advisable to do that because we can't just trust any third party software or websites with our private keys that has Bitcoin on it, especially with big amount. And lastly you had stored a large amount of money in just one address, you should store it on different Bitcoin address for better security. And you said that you invested all of your life saving in Bitcoin, this is totally wrong. You should have hold those savings and only put the amount that you afford to lose on any investment that you want.

Last night, my wallet was emptied of ALL my BTC, 13+ coins.

This is a warning to everyone and is a terrible experience too. I would rather have it withdraw than put it on my wallet for a long time because there are genius hackers out there, trying to hacked your wallet and robbed all your BTC. I would be very sad if this thing will happen to me. But, those robbers will be punished terribly.

Next time keep it safe your money and also bitcoin. That is not easy to recover or to take it back. You need to safe your money or bitcoin in a different wallets. Because like that, Once your key or password loss its all gone. don't make thing that you can all lost.

[qiman]

I am deeply saddened for your loss. I also had some coins and BTC stolen from me through various hack attempts and some phishing sites so it is always good to be extra vigilant and careful. Especially if you are working hard to accumulate some funds and then someone is watching to come and steal from you, that is a very sad event indeed. I hope we can get more and more security features in the future whereby we can secure our holdings, big or small for the future and for our safekeeping. I hope one day you can make that money back in the future but it is very hard.

[Cryptoearner]

I am also feeling very sad after reading your thread. Earning Money is very hard work and time consumption.
I don't know why scammers don't understand someone's feelings. They are making quick money and making others life difficult.
Hope you will get your money soon at least some of that BTCs.

[freesia_pnp888]

OMG! Im so sorry!!!

[kipo]

Oh, poor you! I can't imagine how it is to find out that you have lost the walet of BTC. As for me it would be like a disaster. I think that it is necessary to be very careful with all those keys

[ipinkang]

I think this can be lesson for everyone to be carefully, to keep safe your asset don't trust anyone or any institution when they ask about private key your wallet,or maybe for preventing do not install any suspected softrware on your computer, do not open any suspected link if you get on your email, install good anti virus to protect your computer and once again do not trust anyone if they ask your wallet private keys.
sorry about your loss, and keep your health buddy

[irenegaming]

First thing, why did you invest your whole life savings into something as risky and volatile as Bitcoin? No one should feel sorry for you as you made the mistake of doing the one thing that everyone asked you not to do and that is never invest more than you can afford to lose. i don't think there is any way for you get your bitcoins back now.

[salinizm]

I am completely sorry for your biggest loss. I hope you can get your 13 BTC as soon as possible.  But, you had a biggest mistake while keeping great amount of money in one wallet. This is the most risky behaviour in this bitcoin world.

[eternalgloom]

Do you still have your browser history, so you can check where exactly you've downloaded those possibly compromised wallets from?
I really hope you can find out what exactly caused this, I'd be interested in knowing if it was the BTCP wallet.

Maybe it would be a good idea to file a police report for this? I mean chances of getting your coins back are slim, but then your name as already 'tied' to those coins.
In case they eventually bust them, it's good to have everything on record.

[Sevarchik]

OMG how it can be.
Really sad to hear it
crypto have this minus, transaction cant be canceled and keys not be recovered

Cautionary Tale: I messed up. Big time. Please don’t pile on harder as I’m already sick to my stomach.

NEVER EXPOSE YOUR BTC KEYS/Seed to an forked wallet.

Two days ago, I attempted to split my BTC Diamond and BTC Private. I could not get it.

At some point, I exposed my Ledger Nano with my BTC on it, to each of their Electrum Wallets.

Last night, my wallet was emptied of ALL my BTC, 13+ coins.

Here is the transaction.

It appears that I have now lost my entire life savings. I’m not begging for a handout but rather attempting to warn anyone new to the space. I’m sick to my stomach with the loss and my only hope is to gain the attention of the culprit.

If you have any space in your heart, please return the BTC. I’d accept a fraction of what was stolen. Please don’t completely bankrupt me.

How sad your situation mate, I couldn't imagine to loss that I huge bitcoin funds in an instant, since its very hard to earn now even 1BTC. I know Its hard to recover but you must and don't be ever expect to returned your losses from those hackers, If there Is a chance, I think only %1. And thank you, for sharing  this scenario, so that It could be warned for those new in crypto.

[LooBaao]

I was really scared to read your news. I know you are very upset and I can not help you either. But I really feel sorry for you, please overcome this pain and try to rise in the future.
