I really appreciate each of your comments, condolences and criticisms.

Personally, I’m an emotional wreck. Every time I think about this, i just start shaking. I’m NOT suicidal to be clear. It’s just really hard to think my financial freedom from this whole fucking rigged system is gone. The whole reason I entered this space was to have control over my destiny. I’m helpless to the cosmos. Maybe this is a lesson that I was helpless all along. Please, if you’re out there, spare me from my mistakes.

You would have easily been a millionaire before the end of the year. Now, you gonna have to work the rest of your life for nothing.

Oh dear, sorry to hear about the hack on your wallet. I am sure you don’t feel good to lost your life savings.

Thank you for sharing to remind others to be careful. Although, I don’t think the hackers will return your 13 BTC but I wish some miracles will happen to you.

It is hard to imagine hackers doing such bad things. In fact, I can not imagine and endorse any way or method. Unlike MEW, bitcoins are safer. Unfortunately. It's relatively high value right now.

Cautionary Tale: I messed up. Big time. Please don’t pile on harder as I’m already sick to my stomach.

NEVER EXPOSE YOUR BTC KEYS/Seed to an forked wallet.

Two days ago, I attempted to split my BTC Diamond and BTC Private. I could not get it.

At some point, I exposed my Ledger Nano with my BTC on it, to each of their Electrum Wallets.

Last night, my wallet was emptied of ALL my BTC, 13+ coins.

Here is the transaction.

It appears that I have now lost my entire life savings. I’m not begging for a handout but rather attempting to warn anyone new to the space. I’m sick to my stomach with the loss and my only hope is to gain the attention of the culprit.

If you have any space in your heart, please return the BTC. I’d accept a fraction of what was stolen. Please don’t completely bankrupt me.

It's very sad for you men, I hope that the culprit will return you just a little bit so you can start with trading with small amount. To other users out there protect your belongings very well and dont hold much and especially dont invest all you have you must still learn to save for good. My advice dude is to talk to someone and dont get depress even though its big.

That's just so sad. I know its a pain in he ass sometimes to want more than what we have but we can never control it. Sometimes we get greedy, but hey, we earned it. We worked our way to get it. Im not blaming you for wanting more. We are all victims of this. What we just need to think is, if by wanting more, we lose everything, then just want what you think is enough to satisfy your needs.

I think you are very sad, and of course you will experience bad days.

I think "sad" is a huge huge understatement.

Quote from: Cryptohad on May 03, 2018, 08:50:14 AM

anyone who receives BTC from him, please return it to him.

Even though I wish that the hacker gives OP back his/her funds, the chances are pretty much next to zero, unfortunately.

My goodness, your 13 btc stolen? This is really so sad. You've lost your money in a snap. Whoever takes it, he will not give it back. Especially huge amount is taken.
It's always remind for being careful because scammer is everywhere. Do not expose the private key because that's important. What happens to you is a bad thing, this is a lesson to you and reminder to others.

Always remember: SECURITY OVER EVERYTHING

You owned 13 bitcoin, you should act like you own 13 bitcoin. I think a huge factor of this mistake is greed. You wanted more money by claiming your Bitcoin Diamond and Bitcoin Private, hence the life wrecking mistake you made.

I really don't know what to say. I'm sure lecturing you right now wouldn't help(unless you're planning on investing in the future, which I don't suggest you doing). I just, can't believe how careless could people be with such a huge amount. I personally don't even own one full bitcoin, but I quadruple check and research on everything first as if I had like BTC500.

I mean like, sure, exposing your private keys was a huge mistake; but investing your whole life savings in to bitcoin? colossal mistake.

I believe the point of compromise happened at one of two places.

1. Using the Ledger to connect to the one of the two BTCP/BTCD Electrum Wallets. The BTCP has an app on the Ledger. The BTCD does not.

2. I don’t recall doing this for my BTC seeds but I might have input them in my hand into the BTCP/BTCD wallets.
That would mean a keylogger has compromised my setup. I’m not normally adventurous in downloading foreign software, generally, aside from rogue Bitcoin wallets (heh...).

So I’m not blaming the BTCP or BTCD Electrum wallets outright as it could have been me inputting my BTC seeds. I don’t recall doing that with my BTC seeds but Indo remember doing that with the old seeds that’s had the BTC already moved.

If anyone is familiar with the BTCP Electrum wallet off Github, that’s where I got it. I’ll have to confirm but I believe I also got the BTCD from there. I’m sorry if this is unclear. My head is spinning and I’m not sure on where I was compromised.

Nothing would have happened if you only use that forked Electrum with your Ledger device,private keys are always safe in device-you enter your Ledger seed in that Electrum forked wallets,and one or both were false.I'm really surprised that you can not even remember what exactly did you do in process of losing 13 BTC.

You made a beginner mistake,first you have to know how something works and than work with that-you did exactly the opposite.Ignorance and greed are the main factors of this story,and because of that hackers live like kings these days.Your loss is just a drop in the sea of tens of millions, and maybe even hundreds of millions $ which are lost in this way.

As an additional warning to those that are new to the space...

If the amount of value that you are holding in crypto is such that you would be devastated if you lost it all, then you are holding too much value in crypto.

These are experimental, volatile, and risky protocols. Do not risk your mental and emotional well-being.

I think this is an undervalued opinion here; but what is it that you suggest that you periodically and systematically take off a "salary" for yourself ?? what about the potential for increase ? how would you feel if you've sold most of your holdings and the price doubled ?

I feel for your lost 13btc just like that, but we are all told that your power to you wallet security idiyour private key once you break that security you are losing your assets to who ever have access to those keys. Your private keys are your freedom once you lose it you are done.

13 btc is a huge money and once it lost it is very hard to retrieve it. Yes that is most important to really save our private keys and never misplaced it. It is sad that others lost their btc this is really huge money.

Yes, I am aware. I was aware. I don’t know why I decided to compromise my BTC seeds like that.

I don't know what to say to you, you are aware on how to secure yourself from these forks but you are comfortable that they won't or try out your seeds. I still admire you for your toughness thought that's really a big money but this isn't the end of your crypto journey, you have to move on and make sure next time when you claim fork coins secure yourself. I know you can stand against this challenge to you billy and I can't really help you with this.

So, while the Financial thesis is there to support forking coins, my Computer Science skills are still very lacking. I should have known my limitations and not been so greedy.

Take it as a lesson and reduce the greediness in you.
