I lost my bitcoin

The investor's money is lost when the company goes bankrupt

The investor's money is lost when you sent it to a scammer. You never owned the coins in questions.

Yeah I suppose it had something to due with that, the fact that it amazes me is that either someone manually tagged the account or then the "system" behind it is crawnling the web search for the (first?) mention of that address somewhere in the Internet. Spooky stuff.

Slightly off topic, but if this is happening with a free block explorer which anyone can use, imagine how much more is happening with companies like Coinbase Analytics which are bringing in tens of millions of dollars in contracts from the government to spy on addresses?

I had almost forgotten of that side of Coinbase o_e_l_e_o, thank you for reminding me of it! I think it goes along the idea that governments will do anything to trace whatever kind of "money" (as a concept) that they can. Even Coinbase itself has its eyes[1] on both IRS and DEA as potential clients for their analytical software even though they've just signed[2] a contract with Homeland Security[2] this may just be the beginning of it all[2][3]. Despite being "masked" as Homeland Security we are able to see[4] that the agencies behind it, at least for now, are both U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Secret Service (USSS) so who knows what they are really looking/going after...

It's not the beginning by any means.

IRS, FBI, DEA, ICE, CBP, SEC, CFTC, Secret Service, even the Navy, Air Force, and Army. The list goes on. 100s of contracts from dozens of agencies. There is barely a US government agency or department which hasn't paid for the services of one or more blockchain analysis companies.

Most people aren't aware of this - I think that probably a large % of people that use BTC think that they are "hiding" away their money in the blockchain (so as to not be found by anyone) but they forget the fact that they've used a centralized exchange with KYC procedures to buy/sell the BTC/other crypto along the way. This is specially true regarding newcomers that arrive to the scene by means of news being spread on the social networks about blockchain and aren't really aware of how traceable they can be if they so desire to use these services - after the first purchase it's just a matter of following the trace to whoever transactions they do in the future (not talking about employing mixers into the equation since most people (average John's) aren't even aware of their existence).

Even in the 4 companies that you've linked o_e_l_e_o, we can see that the biggest entity that paid them was IRS itself (except for Coinbase case where he was the second biggest one). Now, more than ever, we should really push people to try their best to make their transactions on P2P networks where KYC is non-existent. Whenever I find myself arguing with my friends - more during peak prices of BTC - I always deter them from using centralized exchanges in favor of non-centralized ones although the fight is uneven as these are always less known to the general audience and they end up thinking that those services are "less" trustful than the likes of Coinbase, Kraken, etc ...

Without bullying here to enrich the knowledge
ok
mt gox had 850,000 bitcoins then stolen and 200,000 bitcoins recovered
I don't understand that I never found my money
I only write for information
I know that lost bitcoins will never come back
I share with you here because your forum is specialized in Bitcoin
Regarding mt gox, you will not return it to me because I did not file a bankruptcy lawsuit for the company

The government does not want the unknown

Do you know that


My dear, I found this on your site and my money has been diverted from it
Check out some Bitcoin transfers

I know I'm new here, but I personally invest a lot of time/energy into bitcoin. So, if you trust me, you can send pledge money to this address: 1NLPqEyWo9HzPmXG2H8uGG4NBFCV31NarD

You mean $56? You're not making any sense.

I don't trust you. Are you begging for Bitcoin on an address that received 8819 BTC in the past? Signing a message from that address might make your story about "investing" more credible.

What does bytemaster have to do with this?

See this post.
I can't really understand why khamisi9 copy-pasted that post here.


Edit:
See this post too.
The address comes from mybitcoin. (I don't know whether this service exists now or not).

Edit 2:
Seems that mybitcoin was a custodial service [1, 2]. So, no one should have access to the private key of the address in question.

He should have used the quote-button:

I know I am new around here, but I am personally investing a lot of time / energy into bitcoin.  So, if you trust me you can send pledge money to this address: 1NLPqEyWo9HzPmXG2H8uGG4NBFCV31NarD

The quote comes from this topic: Bounty for Bitcoin Animated Movie [won]. this matches what I wrote here.

It's not your money. It never was.
It's as if you paid someone $56 for the gold in Fort Knox. But the guy you paid doesn't own Fort Knox. You got scammed. That's all there is to it.

[khamisi9]

Look at wallet.dat my money they have to pay me

Looks like my money belongs to this member

The amount is very small, 56 dollars
I want him to tell me the truth

my money

Good luck with that! Accepting reality is easier though.

[khamisi9]

Regarding the mybitcoin wallet, this wallet no longer exists and there are no communication tools to respond to

[Luke-Jr]

I've used Crystal Explorer[1] and if we assume the information is correct then the owner of that address is a miner pool called Eligius. If we look up for it[2] we learn than pool was founded by Luke Dashjr[3], one of Bitcoin Core developers. If you want to spend some time expanding the transactions associated you'll see that some BTC was eventually sent to Mybitcoin[4] - an online wallet - and eventually was sent back to Eligius pool (the list goes on and on). Point is, just move on to another topic of your life OP, admit that you've been scammed and be very much autistic whenever the same situation appears to you (let's hope not).

Please be more careful posting stuff like this. This idiot is now harassing me claiming this "Crystal Explorer" website is infallible and that I stole his coins. :/

[khamisi9]

I didn't bother you, I was asking about some things

See mt.gox's reply sent by post

If you are not a creditor who has an already relevant account in our system

dude

give up.

stop bothering people. there is literally no chance in hell you ever had any coins. they gave you fake addresses they knew you didn't understand.

they probably gave those same addresses to other people.

you got scammed hard. if you don't have a wallet.dat file on an old computer somewhere, then you never had any bitcoin to begin with. you just had an email or a print out.

And I'd like to grow wings, fly and spit diamonds.
Don't see that happening either....

[Alen098]

I am so sorry for your loss... You're a victim of one of the books... As there have been a lot of cases but you must consider yourself lucky you gave only 56$ of those scammers

[HCP]

I didn't bother you, I was asking about some things

You've been told multiple times, by multiple people... Your money is gone.

You're not getting it back. You never will. You're not getting any bitcoins either and you never had any to start with. You need to accept that your $56 is lost. Gone forever.

[khamisi9]

Good luck it's just $56

How did you get to the mine that specializes in mining and who claims that it does not collect money!!!!
According to the Blockchain Crystal, it was traced that it was transferred from the owners of Bitcoin and was not from mining
It must be proven that it was not from the purchase of an investor
and switched to mybitcoin.com

Also, this platform was closed and the money from those who bought it was lost

Where did the money from those who bought on this platform go?
Have you evaporated into the air?

I want to enjoy the story because it's just $56

And I also want it back

Privacy is missing in bitcoin

[ABCbits]

If you mean mybitcoin.com, the platform was compromised and 51% of Bitcoin as stolen and shortly it's closed. They says there's option to claim 49% of your balance, although i don't know if anyone tried it successfully.

Or move on and use your time productively.

Yes I mean this
Tell me where to file my claim
or claim link

As for my time, I put it less than 15 minutes a day
