I'm sorry for your loss but you can't now expect a hacker come to you admit the crime and give you the coins back i bet he anonymised himself good enought for you not to be able to trace him down.

Worth noting: A similar situation occurred within the past 30 days:

Its a hard lesson to learn, but significant amounts of bitcoin like this should be in cold storage..

Were these funds not in cold storage?

I know we had our differences but this is truly shitty news, greed can be a great motivator. Hope you are able to track down the thief.

Sidenote: this is way I have changed my view on anonymous txs, too much of this kind of thing goes on and anonymous txs would make it impossible to follow.

Thank you for the kind words MrVegas.

As for the viewpoint on anonymous txs, I guess we'll just have to respectfully agree to disagree.  Wink Effectively, anything can be used for both beneficial and nefarious activities.  Guns kill people, but also protect families.  You can cut meat with a knife, or use it as a weapon.  The overarching analysis must be in favor of the benefits to society outweighing the detrimental usage.   As such, I see (in our current climate of Govt. spying) that the pendulum has swung in favor of needing greater anonymous utility.

Cordially,
Peachy

Just pointing out that one should be cautious when throwing stones if you live in a glass house.

By that I mean that malicious theft can occur to ANYONE.  If you think for 1 second that you are totally 100% secure then you are completely and utterly living in a delusion.  The best anyone can possibly hope for is to achieve a relative balance between safety and paranoia.  

Find me one solution that you claim is 100% secure and I (or others here) will provide at least 1 way that it is not foolproof.

It's just the greatest irony...
But I've owned 7 figures in bank deposits, broker accounts, real estate, cars, tech equipment, etc...
And the ONLY thing I worry about being FUCKING STOLEN is Bitcoin.

What's wrong with this picture?

NEXT STEP? Run crying to big brother I guess; you're not ready for Bitcoin.

Be careful of the finger you point at someone as there are 3 other fingers pointed back at yourself.

Who is "the real Daniel P Barron?"
I can prove I am who I claim to be; that is, the user in question regarding this loss of BTC.

I see. So because he lost 0.385 BTC of his own money due to a bug in the CounterParty wallet (it seems), he's not allowed to criticise someone incapable of properly securing HUNDREDS of Bitcoins? I see.

LOL; alright let's do this.

Those were my funds (not investors).

It was an amount I could afford to lose (because I knew counterparty is sketchy new software).

The funds were lost due to a bug in the aforementioned sketchy software, which I helped them discover and fix.


Any other points you want to make? Maybe try scanning through my twitter history; I'm much more active on there. http://twitter.com/danielpbarron

LOL. Just speaking for myself here, but other eMunie founders might see this the same: we have some great piece of software to work on. No need to waste our time with your boring twitter account. May I invite you to read the really interesting stuff? Go to forum.emunie.com

Brothers in Crypto,

I wanted you all to be aware that we have a financial terrorist among us attempting to extort money from myself and likewise further damage the crypto-currency movement, of which we are all passionately involved. This individual’s goal is no doubt targeting all of us in that their actions add further reasons towards preventing our achieving global acceptance.

I am speaking to you as a common member of this movement in the spirit of open and honest communication towards allowing you to understand what has transpired against us.

As many of you may remember, a few months ago our remote servers were under constant attack and resulted in the eMunie website and forum being taken offline on a few occasions. Soon after these attacks the assailants gained access to several online services I control, and most certainly had some form of access to 1 or more machines on my home network and also our remote servers.

Resulting from these coordinated breaches, the assailant made off with over 600 BTC from my own personal BTC wallets and accounts, as well as a sizable amount from of our pre-launch fundraising activities.

Quote clipped because tldr -- don't need anything beyond this last part anyway.

THE REALITY: OP is too stupid to manage other individual's funds.

OP'S REALITY: it's the thief's fault for taking advantage of this.

NEXT STEP? Run crying to big brother I guess; you're not ready for Bitcoin.

I haven't followed eMunie to much, though I was ready to invest once it was out of beta.  Regardless, this type of news always sickens me to have to hear and I offer my deepest sense of solidarity.

I hope the best for you, Fuserleer, your supporters.  This type of news only weakens the image of cryptographic currencies and, in turn, hurts all of us.  I hope that justice is served effectively and swiftly against those who have stolen these funds.

Looks like someone is pulling a Baritus here.  If this was actually legit, you would have posted the wallet address.

They still paper money. they still electronic money, they still crypto...

There was a really cool punishment for stealing - cutting hands off. We should bring it back.

Well this is really unfortunate however I believe in Dan and will keep my investments with the eMunie project.

+1

Go Dan, many are behind you even more due to your steadfastness and fortitude in the face of naysayers, attackers, and second-guessers and how you have chosen to respond professionally.
