MtGox fucked up precisely once in their entire history.

Bitcoinica fucked up 3 times.

If Bitcoinica's business model was viable, why shut it down? Why not fix the security problem and use the business profits to replace the stolen funds?

Who is dense enough to still do business with them?
i would. mtgox fucked up last year, and they are still doing pretty good.

MtGox lost about 40-50% of their market share over a year.

That said, I'm sure there are enough retards to bring Bitcoinica up again. And they will even post about it in the forums.

I guess that depends on how you define "fucked up". They have had several errors along the way, but only 1 known major hack. Remember ~BTC2k that disappeared? Thanks to mtgox screwup in conjunction with Eligius processing nonstandard transactions.

The manner in which the bitcoinica folks are handling this should tell you exactly how well they would run any type of post-disaster version of bitcoinica. Anyone who would trust them with a penny of investment until they have a clear, defined working model, full disclosure on who owns what and who works for who, what is happening to the funds (other than funding a massive pyramid!) is just plain too trusting. How many times do we need to be shown that there is no magic making money out of nothing at all system? How many times do you need to be lied to, mislead, treated with enormous disrespect and dishonesty, have your funds stolen, misappropriated, lost, or hacked by this vaporware mentality?

On June 10 I got a message stating:

Your claim has been reviewed and deemed accurate

However I have not seen a single cent returned to me. Nor have I received any response to my more recent claim update request. I am getting really tired of this waiting game.

Has anyone emailed any of the bitcoinica related email addresses in this thread in the past week and received a response from anyone?

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

It would be nice if there would be more progress in processing payouts. I made my claim about 4 weeks ago when I understood there will no normal login and withdrawing my btc-ammount after a restart of bitcoinica... this was when i read that the database was lost without the possibility to restore it from any backups.


2012-05-11 bitcoinica. stated at it's homepage that the thief stole from bitcoinica not from any user at all and that all withdrawal requests will be honoured...

If this statement ist true, I assume that all claims should be paid out even if it's not possible to verify them more than to check if they had an account at all... fraudulent claims should be the risk of the owners...  If i remeber right then at one statement at this thread there was told that  all claims together had an ammunt of 125% of the original holdings in bitcoin before the hack... not too much penatly for a poor security-concept in my opinions...

I work everyday.

About the payouts: working on it. Not much to add except going slowly through accounts to verify the low hanging fruit. There are some accounts marked accurate but they aren't immediately paid because the balance is so large.It could be a devastating blow if a large amount is paid erroneously, so those accounts require more checking.

Is there anything special I need to include in my emails to you guys.  I've emailed several times over the weeks and haven't gotten a response back.  Do I need a special subject line or something?

I only had $260 on there. I don't understand why it would take so long to verify/distribute that.

50% of my 700 BTC if found not to be true would be "devastating"?

We need this to pay back the bond holders of TyGrr-Bot. Please at least give us the 50%. The amount of evidence I have sent in is massive and it is shocking that nothing has been done.

maybe theese 700 btc are invested in TyGrr.bot and are waiting for dividend-payment before they can refund them...  Grin
