I made a claim to inputs.io and they asked for "government issued photo id". Why would they need that?

My theory, they want to discourage people to withdraw coins because most people won't send that info. That information is more valuable than balances below 0.01 btc.


I agree and the site is already hacked. How sure will you be about the safety of the ID itself.

Is Coinlenders offereing a way to withdraw BTC other than through Inputs?

Last time when i saw the posts, people were debating on that.
At the moment, i don't think they do.

I had 0.0025 BTC there.
Any way I can get them out? The service announcement talks about balances > 1 BTC

Am sorry for your loss mate. Shoot an email to [email protected]
Hopefully he can help.

No worries. Its not much, so not worried.
You gonna worry when it hits 1 mil a coin Smiley

Yes, Im not too worried.. But I do want them back Smiley

I remember some posts where TF was advised not to keep heavy coinage on a hot wallet.

Hopefully the 4K was scattered across users and no single person had a heavy loss.

Astonishing thing is.. If you follow the inputs.io topic on service announcement.. He has been working on the site re-design when the hack was happening on 10/23.

He launched a new homepage design and 2FA and GPG auth on 10/24 and later.

How can you not see the wallet which holds close to a mil worth of coins atleast once a day.!

This comes to me as a shocker. With the type of security TF had in place. The way the attack has been performed seems to me a tricky and sophisticated attack.

With the type of security TF claimed to have in place.

4100 BTC in a hot wallet, WTF?

it looks like 2011 all over again

I agree. I smell something fishy here. 4000+ in a hot wallet was a disaster waiting to happen.
I think he was waiting for this payday.! Not sure if the hack is true or not

If you like a good riddle, I suggest you read the whole thread in the main section ....just some tidbits

TF claimed  that as a precaution that even if the server is hacked there will not be much damage as cold wallet is being used

The server has hacked on 26th Oct, but the news is displayed today

One of the api user suggested to TF that inputs.io was hacked around 3 weeks back

Yes i did it for a while but then i figured that it is too good to be true.
Either he is too dumb to have all the 4000 btc under same account on the same server or he is just vacating in Cancoon laughing at people.

He claims he was in shock trying to figure out a way for 14 days so that no IO user lost coins.. Seriously, for 14 days.??
Being a forensics investigator, i know that this is another mistake.. Now all the evidence has gone with the wind.

At the least he could do was disable any deposits. There are many users who have deposited btc this week. That means that those coins are safe and they should get full refund. But that is not the case. They are also getting a partial refund. How fair is that.?

Has anyone from India got affected by Inputs.io closure and now I have read even coinlenders also has a problem.

I remember 3-6dice.com was using inputs.io , anybody else ?

I lost around 0.2 BTC, though at BTC current rates, cannot call it a small amount.

after this a lot of web wallets are going to get flagged.



pin-up-machine.com as well. Lost small bits 2 separate integrations with inputs.io.. well..

My point being, how did the hacker come to know the email address used with the hosting company.
That is kinda weird. They should have compromised the database of the hosting company as well. isn't it.?
