If it makes us feel more comfortable and good, then I will try to buy 15 BTC at the hands of poker Seals. Of course, that was years ago and the coins were worth $ 200 or more, but I hope we will not give up and will soon be able to return some of our previous savings.

On the positive side you have only lost half as much $ as if you had been hacked at Christmas.

Things that seem very small are viruses, which make you lose that big money.

I'm sad with this type of incident that you will lost all your savings for your future as nothing left on your 13 BTC. That's a lot of money and I can't imagine how you will overcome this incident. We should be very careful in dealings with our wallet and not to expose our private keys to anyone.

Excellent advice.

The OP did not expose the private key to an individual, instead he copied and pasted it in to a new wallet that was created to use by a fork. He should have transferred his Bitcoins out to a new wallet/address and then used the empty wallet to try to obtain the new forked coins. Sadly he did not know that and someone, somehow used his keys to obtain the balance from the bitcoin wallet.

Without knowing much about the forked coin I cannot speculate on how the scam was carried out but everybody should take care in all aspects of crypto related issues.

Nowadays, you cant trust anyone with money, on that you have given your seeds to websites. Most of these extracting websites are made to get hold of seeds of wallets like yours. Sorry for your loss, I would suggest you, forget that you ever had any bitcoins.

This a lesson learned to everyone do not store much money in just one address, maybe we should split our funds into multiple address and do some safety measure in transfering funds like creating a bridge account.

Sorry if this sound stupid. I dont get it. How come the OP was hacked by just importing his BTC private keys in Electrum? Meaning Electrum wallet is not safe to use? Who stole his 13BTC by the way?
it was not Electrum wallet. It was a copy-paste clone of Electrum or whatever other legitimate wallet created to claim the forked Bitcoin Diamond and Bitcoin Private. Electrum wouldn't allow that, as Electrum works for real Bitcoin (BTC) only. So he pasted his private key into this clone and the clone developer(s) sweeped his BTC wallet.

That is a very sophisticated scam, feel bad for the OP who lost 13 BTCs. The problem is that the feeling will simply get worse when bitcoin rises, it will be regret and annoyance. Not sure if there is any advice that can make you feel better other than to go to the police and see if they can do anything.

I have a feeling that in my country you would spend a few hours explaining to the police what bitcoin is and why it is worth anything and then ultimately they would think you lost some gadget from online game and discard your case anyway. Even if not, if they understand Bitcoin, I doubt they can really do anything for the OP.

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.


Transaction Identifier: d96a7dcd9775456e36938ed2cb84e9d0cac46fad14b8c95008ed77d08f9f8de6

Went to: 3LsvHPBGuEVLZZDUiUuNdNi33T7zmTBC7o

Here’s a signed message so you know I HAD controller of the wallet.
I’m not scamming, just utterly sick to my stomach for losing 13+ BTC.

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
@TheShillBilly Twitter

I've lost all my coins. Please help ANYONE. If you stole them
Please return them! Please Please Please!  RT to help...

-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

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.
That was an extremely unforgiving choice thus you have endured an immense loss. 13 BTC is never again a little sum today it is a decent arrangement as of now. Your blame is that you didn't make and try different things with a little sum before you did it with your wallet that has 13 BTC. In any case, next time on the off chance that you truly need to have a forked coins at that point take a stab at putting it in yobit, the forked coins will consequently show up in your adjust as long as you have BTC.

Hey, perhaps we can do what Ethereum does.  Fork the blockchain, roll it back so he doesn't lose his BTC and then carry on as normal.  Wink

I guess you know this by now, but for others that read this...

You made 2 big mistakes:
1. You kept too much money in one wallet.
2. You tried to get forked coins without moving out your real money away first.

I'm really really sorry for your loss Sad ... 13 BTC wow....


Get together and think on the future. With some skill and luck you'll build up another money. You have to.

Kept too much BTC in one wallet is not fault here...He exposed the private key for unknown things. For some one 1 BTC itself big amount for others even 100 BTC is small. If the 100 BTC holders wanna split the BTC in multiple accounts he need many wallets. It is not the solution. He need to be safe. Never ever expose your private key to anyone.

I think you made a mistake with your Ledger Nano purse. You may know that A private key may have duplicated ledger Nano. They used your code to log in and steal the BTC, which is why I did not want to buy a Ledger Nano through a third party.

Thats what im thinking about OP,hes being careless thats why he was hacked..you should have divided your coins into different wallets,each of them must be in their own wallet and about your bitcoin thats too big to be in single wallet.

it is not going to be handled by the police, because bitcoin is not a stuff that has a form so no one can help on this side of the police is the risk of his dicryptocurrency no one has responsibility for the crime, then it can only be made as a lesson to be more careful again.
