Topic: I just lost my entire wallet of 13 BTC. - page 22. (Read 3347 times)
That was a very harsh decision and so you have suffered a huge loss. 13 btc is no longer a small amount today, it is a good deal already. Your fault is that you did not make and experiment with a small amount before you did it with your wallet that has 13 btc. But next time if you really want to have a forked coins then try placing it in yobit, the forked coins will automatically appear in your balance as long as you have btc.
All you have to do now is to look and seek for a hacker talent since it worth million in our country, I don't care if we share half-half of the total value since my only choice is either I retrieve the wallet and the BTC and have the half of it or loss it and I'll just regret it for the rest of my life.
I lost 34k$ and i was dead i hope u get it back oneday mate im really sorry for you , but the thief wont give u it back never ever!!!!1
oh lord of mercy! what are you saying? Jesus..... this is a big lost 13 btc, i can't imagine the pain and what to do if i were in your shoe. i feel your pain but we all have to be very careful when it comes to our wallet please be very careful. thanks
Yes, I am aware. I was aware. I don’t know why I decided to compromise my BTC seeds like that.
As for the reinvested forks, if it was solely a financial decision, the reinvestment of Forks into BTC, (BIG) if you have the courage of conviction of what fork will win. I have a Masters in Finance on top of an Aerospace Engineering Degree. I understand Economics and International Monantary Policy. I understand why BTC is a game changer. I’d like to think I have a fairly acute sense of the world. I’m probably too naive though when it comes to truly undertanding software attack vectors. 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.
If you’re gonna be dumb, you better be tough.

I have a crapload of unclaimed btc forks and I am not planning on claiming them for these specific reasons. Too many things can happen..hackers are getting smarter everyday. Losing tens of thousands for the sake of a few hundreds doesn't sound appealing to me. I am so sorry for your loss btw..I hope you haven't lost your entire portfolio and that you will manage to recoup it via investing or trading. Be strong my friend! Don't let money ruin your health.
That's assumed to be worth $119,000.
Aren't you aware before claiming those fork coins that you must send first your balance to a safer wallet? You ignored the warning and tip that before claiming those forks secure your funds first.
I don't even waste my time to claim those shit coins.
Your coins has been moved to 339DUjZue42TYnvdU91E8NrNaFff7yzJwo.
Sorry for your loss billy.

But seriously OP, what the hell were you thinking...
Greed, in so much that I wanted to turn those forks into more BTC. I don’t trade because I don’t have the short term gut to eliminate emotions. I only accumulate BTC. My thought was that these forks help put BTC into the hands of people who have the same social concensus of money. The forked coins allow people to experiment in finding their own consensus. It seems justified to capitalize on that. The risks are too high to fuck around with them though.
Extremely sad to hear what happened with you. 
But can you or some one else please explain how exactly this happened??
So how exactly did this happen?

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.
lol....... well thats going to be the future of bitcoin anyway, sooner or later more and more bitcoin will end up in unobtainable wallets till the entire system wont be used anymore and gets dropped.
117000 usd,
now good luck with your health

Can you, please, not quote the entire OP if you're not going to reference it at all. We can all see it, no need to quote it for no reason.
Alcohol - the true solution to just about everything. Lose 13 BTC - go get drunk. That solves everything.
There's a reason why homeless man and those who have problems turn to alcohol, makes you forget about those or not care for some time. So it's not completely wrong but can only go so far.
But seriously OP, what the hell were you thinking...
Maybe it is better you didn't have kids - don't think they'd be so bright considering the genetics thing.
lol
it can be very troublesome situations that we can not trust or we do not have many application applications which we do not know at any time when we do not know our users and the results are theft losses are experiencing losses we can lead others to share our mistakes.
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.
I am so sorry for your loss bro..I am sitting here reading through the thread with chills all over my body. I can only imagine how you feel 
That's why I split all my btc between 5 trezors.

Extremely sad to hear what happened with you.
But can you or some one else please explain how exactly this happened?? Because from your post it is my understanding you were using two of the most secured wallets out there 'ledger nano' and 'electrum'
In ledger nano it asks you to confirm in your hardware if you want to send the transaction. In electrum there is 2FA which you will need to enter before sending anything.
So how exactly did this happen? Even if you plug your ledger nano to any other wallet, how exactly the seed go taken out??
Please explain so no one do the same mistakes again.

I really feel for you on this huge loss. I just hope you can get a fraction back so that you can quickly get back on track again. People have been warned severally to be careful how they handle private keys. Some hackers even use fake airdrop as a disguise to get your private keys. Please don't hold too much in one wallet. Split your coins into like 3 wallets in order not to loose all at once.
Everyone should be very careful even with single little mistake one can loose whole investment.
nothing I can help may be just a word of sympathy for you because you lost bitcoin, 13Btc so much you save why not you sell when the price goes up, it's a fatal mistake because you have too much
omg, i feel sad for things that happened to you. from this i got lesson, never put too much coins on 1 wallet.
it will be best if we can own few wallets to store our coins.

The money is gone either way, calm down, have some alcohol or try to get some sleep. The sooner you get over it the better for your health.
Alcohol - the true solution to just about everything. Lose 13 BTC - go get drunk. That solves everything. I’ve put off marriage and kids for the past ten years
WOW!!! You lost far, far more than $120,000. Ten years with no wife and to forgo having kids. Holy shit did you act recklessly when you plugged your stupid Ledger into a thief's system. What the fuck were you thinking?
This is why "Ledger" is completely fucking stupid. It is so easy to misuse and lose everything. Don't put your god-damned keys into anything. Write the fucking transaction off-line yourself.
Maybe it is better you didn't have kids - don't think they'd be so bright considering the genetics thing.
im feeling so sad to hear your lost i hope you learn from your mistakes 13 bitcoins is a huge lost next time extreme care
Next time?! It was his life savings. The only next time, is going to be in his next life! Jump to:
