[trentreznor321]

I entered my password, hit authenticate, but nothing happened. Is that normal?

Same happened to me, and no message like the last couple of posts.

Same thing.  The password field just disappeared.

It should be normal. I entered my password and it disappeared, but in the backend it shows "Password verified" as true.

I think that's a good sign

[thest0ckman]

i get the same message:
"No password hash found please contact verify@bitcoinica.com to request manual verification "
i am 100 percent sure my pw is correct as i had it saved in two browsers.
i also tried in firefox and ie to no avail

Just got two emails, presumably from bitcoinica...
But no link was supplied.
Am I supposed to know where to find my claim?


The First: ************************************
Bitcoinica verify@bitcoinica.com via sendgrid.info  4:54 PM

Please verify your ownership of the claimed account by opening the claim and authenticating.


The Second: *************************************
Bitcoinica verify@bitcoinica.com via sendgrid.info 5:20 PM

The previous message has left some people confused.

This is about password verification of claims.

Please open your claim page (the one sent to you in the first email) and enter your bitcoinica password in the form towards the bottom of the page.

We are doing this to verify that the person who has opened the claim is the person who owned the account being claimed.

Sorry for the confusion.

Now the question is: "how is manual verification?"
I already sent my national ID, id of deposits etc ... what else?

[ninjarobot]

i am 100 percent sure my pw is correct

Same here. I opened my account late Feb of this year so perhaps it is not in their old records.. Or perhaps users with pwd+OTP are affected? (probably not).

I already received an email that stated my claim was deemed valid and accurate, so I don't think I need to contact verify@bitcoinica.com to request manual verification at this point correct?

Thanks.  That's nice to know.

I wish these forums had down-voting to handle posts like this.

Sticking your head in the sand won't change things either.

Do you speculate that your mail is being read because it's taking a while to get to your home, or perhaps that the jury is rigged whenever they decide opposite of your personal opinions?

Be patient. This community wreaks of impatient, whiny, hypocrites. When your pseudo-anonymous currency is stolen from a website run by a 17 year old that may or may not even have any legal obligation to pay you anything, when does it become difficult to have faith that they're going to cut you a check when they say they're going to cut you a check?

Why all of the sudden do you care about being critical?

Im getting the same message others are getting

"No password hash found please contact verify@bitcoinica.com to request manual verification".

 I have the same password that i used while the site was live and a previous confirmation email and ID.

Whats next folks?

Sounds likely that they have a partial or old database, and are verifying those that they have available to them.
I'll bet those that can't verify with a password all signed up or changed their passwords recently.

I received the followup email requesting that I log in.

I confirmed the authenticity of that w/ phantomcircuit before proceeding.

I confirmed the password hash message in conversation with him (and that was the same as our previous conversation - some password hashes are not present.

from the amount of time I've seen phantomcircuit online, and the number of people in this thread who've received this followup, I cannot think that phantom & genjix are delaying at this point (surely, the rising exchange rate is a serious concern for them as the deal with authentic claims) - believe me, if I had this impression, I'd not hesitate to say so.

Anyhow - it's not actual funds yet. I am cautiously optimistic it will be soon.

I did sign up recently. And yep, I got the "No password hash found" message. I wasn't even verified yet. Will it be necessary to send actual IDs to verify@bitcoinica via email? I have no clue how to encrypt my ID, and I don't feel very comfortable giving it away, either.
