Topic: BTC-e hacked ?? - page 102. (Read 199749 times)

Ever heard of DNS propagation?

*hug*

Only a matter of time now before we see the seized message on btc-e.com.

Nice try?

92%%%ping btc-e.com
PING btc-e.com (104.23.132.83) 56(84) bytes of data.

Probably in the next 24 hours when new dns propagation is over, btc-e.com main page will start showing beast signs.

up until relatively recently i was under the impression that they did have absolute control over them. they probably still do even though icann is nominally independent.

i thought namecoin was supposed to be saving us from this anyway.

Sure, but previously there was some hope that some deal could be worked out with US authorities and fine paid (since usually otherwise, the Feds would announce seizure and put up a takedown page on btc-e domain).

Now it looks like, to me, that the authorities have been trying to goad the admins into doing something that will give away their servers, whereabouts, etc.

root# ping btc-e.com
PING btc-e.com (74.208.15.160): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 74.208.15.160: seq=0 ttl=55 time=175.390 ms
64 bytes from 74.208.15.160: seq=1 ttl=55 time=172.723 ms
64 bytes from 74.208.15.160: seq=2 ttl=55 time=170.876 ms

74.208.15.160/index.html - check this

I am wondering why they didn't do that a few days ago.

The US government loves it's god like ability to shutdown domains as if it's some kind of property they own.

https://btc-e.nz/

Domain just redirects to server. The server is most important as long as people are informed of new server, there is chance.

the domain isn't everything

I just checked and it is indeed sinkholed.

Try whois.net

I expected a big fat seizure page with a bald eagle logo. But I guess sometimes they do this instead.

They must have been trying to goad BTC-E admins into trying to access the servers to give away their location, etc...

I fail to see it sunkholed

Yes, the chance of getting online is now really low, however, it was very obvious that they'd taken the domain. This is how they operate.

What's the point of using bitcoins If I was to be asked for papers? Fuck this shit. I ain't doin that.

The only exchange I used the most till now was btc-e.com I used them for trading and I used them to mix my coins because I like to keep my addresses tidy and clean. No papers, everything was automated. Only 1 transaction, 1 input. If anybody asks, they came from btc-e And there is nothing wrong with using them as a mixer. If mixing coins is illegal, USA should start with the mixing companies.

I expected something to happen though. I have fine instincts. Dodged mt.gox because I was too new to crypto, dodged cryptsy too because they had a shitty engine and they just collapsed a few months after I stopped using them. Been holding my coins in my desktop wallet almost since 2015 because people started make complaints on my favorite exchange, btc-e.com That was another sign. I too was seeing btc-e as the most reliable exchange ever existed. Everything was automated and I never had to contact the customer service.

But those complaints were clear signs to stay away. So I moved my coins there only to make trades and withdrew them as soon as I made it. Just to dodge this 3rd bullet. I guess It worked.

My strategy:

1-Always keep coins in a desktop wallet If I am thinking to make trades
2-Always keep coins in a paper wallet If willing to do no trades in the future
3-Never keep coins in an exchange more than a couple of days. Make the trade, withdraw.
*4-* Golden rule: Never ever do any FIAT trades. It chains you to the exchange. You won't be able to get away when you need to. Buy FIAT only when you really mean it.

but where I do a who.is I not see that the fed have taken it
am I behind the time in prorogation or what?

so now the feds has taken the domain.

well then its finally just over and the money is gone.

good bye and happy hunting for a new exchanger.
