Okay, this guy is obviously a troll or just in need of professional help. Lets not feed him anymore shall we?

Sure.
Btw, I don't even know if he really has been hacked, or if he has really recovered the control of the account lol.

and you helped the scammer to steal people's keys, you basically mentored him!
when he spread trojan keylogger from his bogus website - good job, guys!

Someone asked a question "how to export private keys?" and I answered. It is just as simple as that.
The question is not suspicious at all, and the answer is not difficult to be figured out at all.

How do I know the poster is a scammer/hacker lol?  Grin

"it's none of our fault" - please, elaborate,
what is this "our" that you are representing? humankind? your multiple personalities? etc.?

Why are you so mad? I don't get it.
Our, us, the ones who helped the "hacker" in this thread. How can someone getting scammed be our (the ones who posted in this specific thread if you're unable to think so far yourself) fault?

the last guy was got for ~ 3.500 $

sadly

I don't see how it's our fault if people are unable to have a secure password/use 2FA. People should have a little more common sense than that. Not to mention this information is available freely on the wiki and on the Blockchain site.

every time i laugh, when i see an individual identifying himself with the group of peers and starting to use "we" instead of "i"
frucking speak for yourself - there is no "we" in "you"! "you" must refer to yourself as "i", not "we", LoL
Why are you so mad? Light, he has a point that it's none of our fault that someone used few security measures.
(and lol, frucking! Cheesy)

imagine my surprise, when i got some angry message in my mailbox,
saying someone used my abandoned account to scam people...
they should have known better than to visit some shill websites that promise to give you free BTC!
and employ proper, several levels of security for their substantial monetary funds, like 3k USD

How do i do this? it says its encoded with base58 and when i copy paste the entire text of the multibit.key it says error decrpyting wallet



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..
Why don't you just upload the .key file to blockchain directly?

I believe blockchain.info can only read wallet.dat (bitcoin-qt) and wallet.aes.json directly.

First, export private keys from multibit: http://multibit.org/help_exportingPrivateKeys.html

Does your private key look something similar to this 5Kb8kLf9zgWQnogidDA76MzPL6TsZZY36hWXMssSzNydYXYB9KF (start with "5", and is 51 characters long)?
