I only have 0.6.3 (source). To check the windows versions I'd have to fire up a VM, I don't use windows at home.
Also I noticed the latest source on github is 0.6.3 and is a month old... Are the Windows/Mac wallets more recent?

(Might start VMWare later today.)

No, I don't know about any logger software installed.

I also found out, that this is my wallet version:

Mooncoin version v0.6.4.0-unk-beta

I thought I have 0.7.0 version installed. But the number seems kinda suspicious. What do you guys think?

Michalbb,

Since your in IT and it happened at work; are you logging the traffic/suspicious behavior?

And one important thing to say, or to detect failure - the MoonCoin got sent AFTER I ran the client today, exactly on 28.01.2014 11:59 (GMT +1). It may be a coincidence of course, although I doubt it.

Well, we are a small company, like 10 IT people here, I know all of them for a pretty long time. I doubt it would be one of them. But someone from outside of IT department could do it theoretically, some other admins or whatever. Though I doubt it. Anyway, it's my mistake, and one must pay for mistakes. I will learn from it now. Time to move on only and reconcile to it :/

EDIT: Anyway, I put only like 3 BTC to MoonCoins, that's not gonna ruin me. The question is, how much could I have had from it. And even though I am pretty peaceful person and few things can disturb me, this shaked me inside a bit, as I'm not computer and Bitcoin n00b. Never thought this can happen to me Cheesy

Michalbb,

Yeah, if it's a work computer then you probably won't be able to use linux on that. The HW encrypted USB would probably be the best option then.

FWIW, I know my previous employer used fairly intrusive monitoring software. As in they could see just about everything, including passwords and the such. Not sure if that applies to your situation but it is something to watch out for.

I still think that the MoonCoin was stolen because I have my wallet on my workplace computer. I don't have full access of things here, so it may be possible that my workplace computer is virused and that's why. I mean, if my personal, home computer was hacked, I guess attacker would also steal Bitcoins, not only MoonCoins, right?

That was a terrible idea, putting your wallet on your workplace computer.
Viruses? IT guys have full file access from anywhere on the network... that's probably the biggest threat.

Yes, that's awful...

I'm in Bitcoin World more than two years now, and such thing has never happened to me. I still think that the MoonCoin was stolen because I have my wallet on my workplace computer. I don't have full access of things here, so it may be possible that my workplace computer is virused and that's why. I mean, if my personal, home computer was hacked, I guess attacker would also steal Bitcoins, not only MoonCoins, right?

I should have made MoonCoin wallet on my home computer, or as you are saying encrypted USB / dedicated wallet computer with some Linux distro etc... But this is first time in my life, so I will take precautions and secure all my Bitcoins and other coins. I consider buying Computer for that, I made nice profits since I'm in Bitcoin anyway, but this one was just great decision I was proud on, and now it's gone :/

Damn... That's aweful michalbb...

Just some tips, although too late:
Find a better way to store your wallets. I'd suggest a linux distro with a decent reputation. If you're not comfortable with it use an old laptop or a cheap new mini PC or something. Compile the wallets yourself from the original source (with Qt-creator it's fairly simple, takes about 8 minutes on my old laptop). Use filesystem encryption or encrypt the wallet manually (for instance with KGPG).

Store wallets on a hardware encrypted USB stick/disk. Search for IronKey or datAshur, there's a few other brands but these I know will work with any OS.
Use long random strings for passwords, store them on paper in a safe or something similar.

Best of luck!

Guys, I just got hoosebumps...


Ran my MoonCoin client today after like 5 days to see something or someone sent 71,800,000 MoonCoins elsewhere... I really don't know how this happened Sad

I have my moonCoin wallet.dat stored at 3 places, but renamed it (however, I left the .dat extension). I recently found out that one of my computers has some kind of virus in it, which was mining ProtoShares and was eating up my RAM and stuff, so I guess that might have something with it. So I am left with 11,000,000 MoonCoins now and sad Sad

I bought them really low (2 and 3 satoshi), so I was very happy with moon progress. Now I can only cry Cry

The address MoonCoin got withdrawn to is 2X96dqWs2T6ToBDXAj24DXxZuHfwcSU68A. I know there ain't much helping me now. I just withdrew them from coinex to make them more secure (in case of hack or something), and now it seems I got hacked, for the first time in my life Sad

anybody agrees that we will see lower bitcoin price ?
3 days more to go.

lower bitcoin price brings lower altcoin prices.

I don't think it's going below 11 sat:)
I prefer LTC exchange - look at bid and asks.

Want to bet 250,000 Moon that it does go below 11? Smiley

Look at bids and asks at LTC market and just BUY more!  Wink

i think i will get in again. Went out with a + made some money with TIPS but this will go for sure over 20 when this crash time is over.
The only question is, buying now or waiting for lower prices?

Any thoughts?

I mean i don´t think this crash is over yet. We will see more for sure.
