paper wallet was stolen

[nc50lc]

hEEEEEEY Everyone! is this forum is still alive actually? i just came back to say that  my single bitcoin is still on that  transferred adress. No one touched it since 2019 and i have a feeling it is lost for humanity

The forum is very much active, it's just there's no known solution and there is nothing else to add to this thread.
Unfortunately, even the developers cannot help you with recovering the allegedly stolen bitcoins.

I don't think it's lost. You used a (known) scam site to create a paper wallet. The site owner most likely has access, but it looks like he's just HODLing your coins. He's probably not in a rush to cash out, which might compromise his own identity (and get him caught).

Have you reported the theft to your local police, as suggested before? If they ever take down the owner of the site, it might be useful to have a paper trail.

or he might have just lost the private key.

does that really do any good? local police are more concerned with homicides and things like that. and generating revenue for the department through writing tickets. and throwing people in jail. (locals). busting people for drugs stuff like that.

It's a long shot, but unless you want to go after the scam site owner on your own, it's the only chance to get back the coins.

if they live in the same country as you then you could bring a lawsuit against them i suppose. but lawsuits cost money. unless you are your own lawyer (small claims court?) and even then it would cost you money to file and maybe travel to the defendants jurisdiction. all over 1 bitcoin. and in small claims you can't get more than $5000 or so i heard. so you might have to settle for that. or be eaten alive by some lawyer. plus there's always the risk that the defendant is judgement proof. so you have to do some due diligence unless you just like wasting money.

no one is going to throw anyone in jail here in the usa because someone says someone stole their bitcoin. a court would have to make a determination on that. complaining to police is going to do zero except maybe be a scare tactic. innocent until proven guilty and i would imagine it is not easy to prove.

The money is literally waiting in a Bitcoin address.

That's the real tricky part indeed. You'll either have to find the exploit in the source, or find many more victims who claim the same thing.

it's certainly possible the private key has been lost.

there doesn't have to be any exploits in the source. if people are dumb enough to create their private keys online using some website then that website could be using legitimate software but just storing a copy for themself. that's all it would take. could never be proven. no exploit in the source. so the only way something could be proven is circumstantially in that alot of people claim the same thing and a judge buys their argument.
