Coinme, I'm sorry to hear that you lost your coins. Hopefully we can figure out who the thief is when/if they sign on for CEO status.
Thank you!
This is what I was hoping to hear in the beginning from ARCH Owner, CEOs or Support.
I have given up hope of this happening as the lack of support shown by ARCH top dogs is quite remarkable.
To date I know of 5 now ex ARCHers who have contacted me and described losing coins in a similar manner.
The total lost to hacks/theft or whatever you want to call that I've been made aware of is over 200k ARCH which by the latest
prices is around 75BTC worth, and I'm sure there will be others who no longer monitor this thread, have walked away from
ARCH and no longer follow this coin or do not wish to make their loss public. Edgar ARCH will know a lot more but
he is remaining silent on this matter and has offered no assistance in tracking the thief.
My recent posts here sparked a response from ARCH Support and Tom has been polite. Thank you, Tom, but unable to
be of assistance as he does not know who is ARCH rich lister #2 at the following address.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/arch/block.dws?171607.htmI've contacted Bittrex but they are claiming privacy reasons for not divulging anything.
I'm not certain that this is a Bittrex wallet as it doesn't have a lot of withdrawls
It only seems to be accumulating.
While the loss of 15BTC worth of ARCH is personally disappointing what is the most disappointing is the response from the ARCH community.
From the previous replys in this thread you can see how the common cry has been that it was my fault for not pass-wording the wallet.
I accept this was an mistake on my part however it must pointed out that it is NOT a requirement to password the ARCH wallet.
It is a recommendation only.
The ARCH wallet does not enforce a password and this should be a minimum requirement BY DESIGN given the reoccurring thefts
seen over the last 6 months from ARCH wallets and that ARCH Devs are obviously aware of.
On the bright side I have found the ONE coin which actually takes users wallet very seriously!
My twitter feed has a video showing a coin with real security features in action which make what happened to me impossible.
Would you leave a safe closed but unlocked? It's no different than leaving a wallet unencrypted.
