Survey, How did you lost your bitcoins?

[koshgel]

Haven't lost any out of error just a couple scams when I was first getting into the scene. Was brutal.

[princesocapuyo]

I don't invest or put my btc on anything unless I'm 100% sure it's legit, I'm careful like that.
The closest thing I've gotten to losing BTC is investing in Ripple. I don't believe in altcoins as I do in BTC, but I got really close to investing in altcoins once.

Well, technically speaking you can never be 100% sure that any business is legit.

It's a good practice not to keep any significant amounts with any 3rd party for longer than it's necessary.

I lost some in an exchange that ran out with my coins

[dserrano5]

If that is the case then it's just one question:
What kind of evil force gotten into you and made you move your coins from the comfort and safety of your wallet to Mark Karpeles pocket?    
LOL

Fuck you.

Day trader, k?

Now, could you add something to the thread? Thanks.

Gox took 85 from me.  I made it through their first big fiasco and got all my fiat and Bitcoins back so I assumed the second time would work out similarly.

Exactly the same (not so many coins though). Knew about bitcoin in June 2011. 15 days after that, gox was hacked and I grew some skin thanks to that. Too much skin I guess.

Gambling. I sent a transaction to primedice and they took my money without crediting it. I won't play again there.

Ip Tracker HAHAHA

I never lost my coins, I use a desktop wallet on a computer that has nothing but currency wallets, it is on its own internet connection and is disconnected from the internet when not transferring coins. I also do not use it for anything else, Chrome and firefox are not even installed, Google, facebook, yahoo and youtube are all blocked within CMD All that computer is used for is sending coins nothing else. I do not read emails there I do not surf the web, I do nothing else from that computer.

Wow that's pretty extreme. Unless you got a ton of BTC that's not really necessary.

Why don't you try and use that computer for mining instead of doing nothing with it? it's not like you're gonna get hacked as soon as you do something else.

[bitcoin_bagholder]

Just checked for factual purposes. Yep, they're all there. Never lost a single satoshi.

[krishatnet]

Never lost bitcoins but I have seen many people lost their bitcoins this will create fear to bitcoin users.

[krnaveen14]

You should add additional choice in your survey under the topic "How did you lost your Bitcoins" as

Are you Scammed?

tbh, I lost 0.93 Bitcoins in GoldenCows when the rate was at 500-600 $ / bitcoin. After coming to bitcointalk, I'll review the replies under respective topics as much as I can before investing.

[BitCoinNutJob]

Mark karp stole some of my BTC and ive made and lost some trading, other than that never lost any to a technical problem.

[slm06]

I feel like the survey is very poorly prepared. But anyway, I lost a mobile wallet when wiping a phone.. I'm trying to convince myself the lesson of being vigilant was worth more than what I lost.

[AGD]

Some people started losing their BTC with clicking on random links.

Sometime when people go about investing in Dice sites, and other sites, then Its hard to say that the site would run away with funds in 2 years from now.
