Topic: Exporting private keys from multibit to blockchain *uncrypted* (Read 917 times)
I apologize, and I believe you were also a victim as you stated. Those damn keyloggers can be quite dangerous; I learned that the hard way. I'm hoping the price crashes so I can buy in again, this time paper wallet only.
since you seem to be new to all of this, i provide a few pointers:
it all happened around April 10:
there was the virus, apparently, that we both caught - the scam victim and i, and who knows how many more;
probably we visited same sites searching for free btc lotteries or something like that...
it contained a trojan keylogger that stole information from our computers and sent it to the thief;
my problem was that i had disabled kaspersky antivirus at that time period because i was playing videogames and antivirus lagged my game a lot;
since i had abandoned this account "timeout" soon after ~ April 4,
the thief used the account data to log into this account in my absence and perpetrate his scam;
you can read more about what was the virus on scam victim's reddit post:

the clue to stay safe:
never download unknown/suspicious installers from suspicious websites or where they promise to give you a lot of something for nothing
also, secure your web-browser against attempts to auto-launch suspicious applications, etc.
and the most importantly: use the best tools and employ every level of security available when keeping your electronic money!

So you're saying that some virus put that forum post announcing collectcoins.net through your account? Is that even possible?
thanks for contacting me, for i am the original creator of the account!
i suspect that it was done through some kind of trojan, i found recently the same - A process named aticlexx.exe
as you can see, i found a way to regain control, change access&increase security!

Do not help this guy with anything. He stole over 8 bitcoins from me last night. Yeah it's my fault for falling for his ploy, but he's still the thief.

Just identify your private key and paste it into the blockchain private key importer. You don't actually need the entire file.

Does the text render when you open it up in notepad?
What am i doing wrong, do i need to decode the base58 private key?
if so how do i do it, please keep this simple i'm bad at technical stuff..
