Your bitcoin, as long as you withdraw it, should still arrive. Good luck.

Unfortunately, you might have to write off your USD, or sell it at a massive loss. There is no way BTC-E has enough to pay out the USD.

I do not want withdraw "fake USD" from BTC-e... I will not touch that USD.

I just want, at least, those 140 BTC (total is 180 I had there for sure), withdraw still "pending" (i.e. not reached my wallet)...  :-/

Good luck for those that feel a bit lost now...  :-P

This is less worse than the "life with the government and banks"... lol
Unless one of the following is true, your BTC withdrawal will still go through.

  • The hacker hacked in BTC as well.
  • BTC-E used fractional reserve.
  • BTC-E had a cold wallet.
  • BTC-E wakes up and discovers the hack.

Yes, I'm telling the truth. It is all here registered in my btc-e account anyway...  ;-)
I know you are telling the truth. I was reassuring you that the withdrawal will likely eventually go through.


I strongly suggest you discard the USD by selling it, while it is still worth ~1/5 of its actual value. The 40 BTC that is missing has been converted to USD, most likely. You can still retrieve some of that value from it.


How so?!
Did you have a sell order open? That may be the reason your BTC is now missing. (since price spiked to 99, all sell orders must have been fulfilled).

Democracy is vulnerable to a 51% attack.
FWIW, I do believe the hacker is using the name 'MrWubbles'.

MrWubbles: now logging in as support to troll more

MrWubbles: dev account has been deleted
MrWubbles: support is being deleted now
MrWubbles: dumping everyone's wallets
MrWubbles: bitinstant reserves have been leaked for days
MrWubbles: all your base
MrWubbles: I'm Mr Wubbles of wub fame
MrWubbles: Expect Mass Database Leak Soon
MrWubbles: wub database destroyed

That can't be good, but how do we know he wasn't just trollololing?

If what he said was true, then no one could withdraw bitcoins. People have claimed to have been able to withdraw as recently as the last 5-10 minutes.

I don't trust those claims. I'm guessing it's either the hacker with multiple accounts or people helping the hacker by convincing people that they can still withdraw.

1. Sell ALL USD immediately. There is almost certainly not enough USD to pay out.
How? By buying BTC at $45?

Quote
2. Withdraw ALL BTC immediately. Unless fractional reserve was employed, there should be enough. No BTC was reported to have injected, so this may be your only option of financial recovery.
I agree that people should do this, but it's not going to work. The exchange has no rational justification for fully reimbursing bitcoin holders while screwing over usd holders.

Quote
3. Change passwords for other websites immediately. The database is likely to leak, if a SQL injection was the culprit.
Definitely. Better safe than sorry.
1. Yes. This is a massive write-off, but it is the only option.
2. Unless the exchange takes action, the BTC withdrawals should be fully covered and automatic (barring the probability of a cold wallet, but given BTC-E's past security history.

Best of luck to all victims.

Unless they had a chunk of BTC in cold storage. Then there won't be enough to withdraw.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
OMG, just what we need, another bitcoin disaster.

IKR?  It's been at least 12 hours since our last incident of absolute mayhem.  I was starting to get bored.
