Hello, there were a large bunch of new broken addresses today (several 100s in one day). I took the liberty of saving some funds before they got swiped by others. If you can convince me that they belong to you (signing a message with the address is obviously not enough; the private key is already known), I will send the funds back. Look into the file http://johoe.mooo.com/bitcoin/broken.txt, to see whether your address was broken. One of these address' is mine, can you place contact me, I can provide proof with screen shots or teamview.

I created a little procedure to check if your address is at risk just in case you are using bitcoin-qt. 1. activate "enable coin control features" in options, wallet 2. go to the send tab and click inputs. A list of addresses is shown, sort it by clicking on the heading(the word Addresses) 3. copy/paste each address in this tab to a text file(right click on an address and select copy to put it in the clipboard) 4. save this text file and call it myadrs.txt 5. save the file linked above in the file adr1.txt 6. compare the two files by using the *ux command sdiff myadrs.txt adr1.txt | grep -v "|"|grep -v "<"|grep -v ">" 7. if an address is shown(twice), that address of yours is on the list You can repeat the procedure above for the two files mentioned in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=581411.msg9711303#msg9711303If you are running Windows, you can install cygwin to get *ix like commands. There might be faster procedures to check your addresses, this one worked for me.

See here http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2onm5r/blockchaininfo_security_disclosure/If you are willing, as you have stated, please contact blockchain and work with them as they have the info to prove ownership. I'm certain you would be rewarded.

Perhaps blockchain.info (if people still trusts them) can create new addresses for the affected users, post the old-new map, and the "good samaritan" can then transfer the amounts there.

Academic interest in bitcoin only. Not owner, not trader, very skeptical of its longterm success.

Bottom line, if this guy didn't do it, then someone else would have. So the fact he revealed it was him is a good samaritan without quotes in my book. Your idea has merit, blockchain should contact this person and figure out a way.

I'm pretty sure blockchain will reimburse users, since blockchain is clearly at fault and have admitted to it. Returning the funds won't change whether these people get paid back, although it would help blockchain if you actually care about that fact.

The non-random rng would have also resulted in giving unrelated users the same keys. It didn't just effect signing.

The Good Samaritan collected ~216 BTC from some 200--250 compromised Blockchain.info addresses, the last one ~4 hours ago: https://blockchain.info/address/1Ha7DNXbiUi5DozhZjtDDveciamb6uQZbRAre those the only ones? (I saw a claim on reddit, without any evidence, that the total losses were higher. Any source for that?)

You got to figure this out yourself. Who is the good samartian.
johoe is the good Samaritan. why did he do this ?
Because he is a very good person which guarded most of the coins from people who would have stolen it.

I don't think that he is a good samaritan unless he eventually gives me the coins he stole back. I also sent an email to blockchain so hopefully I can get refunded or something...this is retarded.
