Can somebody from Bitcoinica Please tell us what's going on now? Thanks, much appreciated.

How is he going to know who's money is who's if there's no backups?

I don't have any money there myself but I would suggest having a poll to decide which charity all the money should be donated to.

Great idea. Send me my 101 Bitcoins and then let them donate the money,ok?  It's only pocket change to you I'm sure. PM me for my BTC address. Thank you!

I put in the basic claim based on my vague memory of what I had in there - I was waiting for something more. An email or something.

Same here, haven't seen any response to indicate that the claim was received and / or status.

I'm hoping that any announcements posted on the forum would also be sent out to the e-mail addresses from the claims.

as their rackspace was sideways hacked by resetting the password for admin via email, I'd assume they would be somewhat scared of using their old email accounts for verification or mailing lists, but then I guess the damage is done already isn't it?

It doesn't take very much to migrate an email address to a new server, just a single change in DNS.

In my case I had no open positions at all. Just some bitcoins I was hoping would earn interest. I know the exact amount that was sitting there. Surely there are cases like this where there is no need for much delay?

When the refund happens will they ask me for a bitcoin address to return the funds to or how will that work?

[Aseras]

It's still hard to imagine that any competent company didn't have an offline backup. Even if a encrypted copy of a db were shoved to a FTP or Dropbox or carbonite or skydive or any number of free hosts. it's just good business sense for any real business to do backups to another location. It's basic IT principles. General fail all around here.

+1 here

[trentreznor321]

I only have USD in my account. Mtgox code is good with me. If needed, I can supply the mtgox code that I used to fund my account. I also have the emails of the few small withdrawals I made in BTC.
