Thats a fair discrepancy,.. 8%!!!!! Looks like Ferdous et al were already skimming the wallet. How come this discrepancy has only come to light now? How long have you had the wallet? Surely it would have been the first thing checked, I know I would have done it on receipt of both.
So we all take a hit of 8%. Easy math, easy solution, no need for further delay. Thanks
don't make accusations before knowing the facts..
mintpal was hacked twice, many coins were stolen. probably a lot more than they admitted publicly.
we know that although their interface looked very professional their accounting and audit procedures were sub standard for the volume of trade they were doing.
because exchanges do not do their transactions on the blockchain it is very easy for someone to scam the system and skim coins off the top before anyone notices.
we should be lucky that only 8% of Karm are missing.
and thanks Bitwho for being transparent and keeping us updated.
there is few things that effected this.
one. when i received the first database and wallet. the wallet had more coins then the total data base coins. so the steps was to return the coins based on the database. once everything was done. open a public poll on what to do with the left overs.
once i opened the process some emails came in. Once 3 out of 20 users that contacted me did not show up in the database i contacted ferdous about it. I was given a fresher database where two of these users were matching. only that this database now had 200 more users.
when i did the new total coins in the database i realized that the wallet.dat was not enough.
Problem is that this database was lastly updated on
October 1st, 2014. Mintpal was fully functional and people were able to withdraw up to
October 10th. Thats when it went off line and Moolah launched weeks later with Mintpal V2.
Looking at wallet.dat transaction history there was some huge withdrawals done during this period that the database did not save.
So here I am. i am left with a database that only had account updated up until the 1st of
October. and a wallet.dat
We are lucky to retrieve these compared to other coins that are lost with Moolah. So in order to be fair i have to do a % on everyone.
edit : changed the months from August to OCTOBER
