Wait...so a 'few hundred' just turned into 2500-3000? For god's sake, man, keep your story straight if you want to operate as a professional liar.

He's quoting 2500-3000 as a possible price for selling the arbitrage bot.

You are so full of shit.

I never was a customer of yours and never will be even if u paid everything back. I been reading this thread basically from the start.

O.k lets take recent stuff that i gathered.
1 - you basically went missing for a month - o.k fine something happened and you could not be online.
2 - You owe people alot of bitcoins according to some stats about 3,000 bitcoins or about $15,000 USD.
3 - you said you have a withdrawal page and asking users to withdraw, now i might of missed a post or something but i dont see anyone who successfully got paid out fully.
4 - Now you have the bull shit to say someone stole the hundreds of bitcoins you had - let me guess your wallet was hosted in linode too?? Even if 100's of bitcoins were stolen which i highly DOUBT - you must be the stupidest person ever.
-5 - Now you want to sell some bullshit software which im sure a 15 year old can make, for less then $700 - for basically $15,000 to pay for the funds you stole.

Now i really know your plan. Basically you scammed members for 3,000 bitcoins - which i know you dont want to pay back, because you have time to make videos and shit for your scamming site. I bet users are wondering why? well its simple - users who dont visit bitcointalk, will fall into your trap, and you steal even more bitcoins.

The thing that kills me is that you say someone stole hundred of bitcoins - which i bet you only transfered it to another wallet. Your plan is to keep your old customers waiting and waiting while other bitcoin users fall for your trap. I mean why the hell would you make videos and start fixing up the site? and not pay anyone yet? you just want more bitcoins for whatever reason.

Another thing is - you want $15,000 for software in which i bet has backdoors, so the person who buys it not only looses $15,000 but also you can steal there wallet.

I think you are the biggest scammer on bitcointalk.com ever - well i could be wrong but you are on the top 5.

Seriously look at bitcoinica they lost like 20x the amount you supposly got stolen from. and they are paying from there own pocket.

I do 100% believe your whole plan for your site was to scam. and i know if you ever start another site you will do the same shit.

If you wanted to pay back the funds you scammed, you would find away to do it, let me make a example.
I owe people about 60 bitcoins, But i dont have a job. But i still find ways to make bitcoins legitimately LIKE by using my own money which i really cant spare any of it, but i rather not eat for a week then not giving my lenders anything back. Not just that you say your a software designer? well fuck, make some open source software and get donations to pay your customers back? I say opensource because i sure as hell would not trust you with closed source software even if it were free. I am a php scripter and i am getting little jobs here and there to pay back what i owe my lenders.

I know 60 bitcoins compared to 3,000 bitcoins is a huge difference but there is a way to pay it back, you just dont want to at all. You rather scam and scam so you can get whatever you want for free.

Your a piece of shit.

I maybe should try to job your memory though that maybe it might not even be only files that have the data you need, you might also have all you need in your database since all you deleted was one table. Often people who think in terms of PHP and MySQL do not use a plaintext log file at all, presumably because they back up their database so often that they figure there is a enough certainty that they have most of what they need in their daily backups that having to remember a bunch of log files to back up daily too is not worth the trouble.

So just think back to when you made the site. When someone makes a deposit you write down who deposited how much on what date using what method type of info in a list of such info, right? Either in a log file or in a database table that amounts to being a log since each row is one such occurence. If your database does not support "transactions" you probably also wrote down the fact that you have not yet actually changed the accounting to include this new deposit. Then you run around updating balances so they reflect the deposit. Then you log the fact that you have completed updating of balances to account for that deposit, so you know the machine didn't die halfway through the process.

So, look wherever you made your list of all deposits before updating balances, plus, if separate rather than just being a "done" marker in the first list, wherever you wrote down that the balances had been updated to reflect the new deposit.

Same for the withdrawals: look at the list of send commands sent to the bitcoin daemon and the list of transaction numbers the daemon returned when it made the sends. Plus too there is the daemon's own debug.log log to compare against if you think your records of what you told it and what it responded are somehow incorrect.

P.S. Did Tom WIlliams ever actually get around to releasing his source code (as he claimed he would) that he claimed included a bug that was his excuse for ripping everyone off?

We reconstruct the withdrawal table and everyone get money back.
So you don't have the table but you decided to transfer bitcoins on the server with lots of bugs and keep them there till you reconstruct the table. I'm questioning your ability to make simple decisions.

BTW what's the price for the bot? or how much do you need to return? (I'm not asking the exact sum, just a hint 1000BTC, 5000BTC?)

I don't have an exact idea at the moment, i think it's fair to think about 2500-3000 btc perhaps, i think withdrawals will not account for more than 1500 btc but i might be wrong. there were too many bugs in the withdrawal code. I had transfered the coins because i decided to start processing the withdrawals step by step as btc engineer had wisely suggested.
The bugs related to the withdrawal code were not directly connected with the script i used to actually send the coins. Also the breach probably happened about one month ago and the hacker probably covered his tracks in the logs.

Ok, this is too much, i just noticed that someone stolen the few hundred coins i had transferred this morning to start the withdrawals. Probably someone who had gained earlier access and kept it silently, hoping for the better. I'm starting to check logs and whatever i need to find out where the coins are gone.. suggestions ? i am left with no words, sorry guys..

Only you know where you had your scripts/programs/website record all the important things such as what deposits had been sent to the database, what withdrawals had been sent to the bitcoind and stuff like that.

The bitcoind's log is usually debug.log in the daemon's data-directory.

DId you delete all the logs as well as the list of withdrawal requests?

YOu bitcoind log should show all transactions the bitcoin daemon did, and you deposits log should show all the deposits people made.

FOr that matter your withdrawals log should show what withdrawls your site thinks the bitcoin daemon already processed, or what withdrawls were actually submitted to the daemon for processing.

So it should be pretty easy to sort it out with awk or some other command/language that can add up values found in logs and stuff like that.

Can you point out exactly which files i should check ? thanks a lot for your help.

In fact you should have had cron automatically comparing the totals found in the database against the amounts shown in the plaintext logs just to make sure the database was keeping everything straight properly.

I'm up for selling the whole arbitraging tool to anyone interested to repay the withdrawals.

You don't even know how much is that

I hope to sell it for a price that will cover the overall losses.

Bitscalper let me try to wrap up what I understood from your last statements. Please correct me, if I mixed something up.

Because of your latest failure, unfortunately you can't hold out the prospect to withdrawal the requested user bitcoins anymore, somewhere in the future.
If someone will give you, as an anonymous person, (again) much money (for the great software you wrote), you can keep holding out the prospect to withdrawal the requested user bitcoins, somewhere in the future.

Did I get you right?


You paint it in a very foggy way. The deal is, i sell the arbitraging platform and some respected member of the forum holds the sum for escrow. We reconstruct the withdrawal table and everyone get money back.

Should be ok now, i'm testing the new system and have to eventually reboot a couple times.

Fine, what about processing the requested withdrawal list instead of making videos and coding/testing a new system?
Or at least publishing on your website the announced guide?

When your new strategy is openness and transparency why not giving your users more short information about what is going on instead of playing personal flame-war?

Please focus on troubleshooting.

If you didn't keep an eye on your private key and someone else was able to steel it, what is a VERY embarrassing beginner mistake, than this 'barely few hundred' bitcoins are lost. I would not count to see them back. I would say at this point in time is too late for asking for help...

So assuming the most likely thing, that you will not get the stolen bitcoins back, because of your failure to protect your private keys, what does this mean for the user withdrawal requests?  
Are you still on track with paying out the withdrawal request, which by the way have surprisingly grown from 'barely a few hundreds' to about 1000 Bitcoins only during <20 hours ?

Did you realize that you keep confirming by the way you act what Matthew wrote about you?

Good luck!


Yes i realize that this looks like a series of excuses, well,  might have been plain embarassing mistake but it happened.
I'm up for selling the whole arbitraging tool to anyone interested to repay the withdrawals. I would also accept that someone escrow the funds and release them upon successive requests. The code does really trade on arbitraging opportunities at several exchanges, and uses a browser userscript to add robot trading to btc-e.com. I could add userscripts for other exchanges without APIs upon request. Do you have an idea how i can see a transactions list without using the bitcoind API ?
