We trusted inputs too much. Everything on the site was perfect, why did it have to fuck up...
I have quite a different story: it was an obvious scam, alarm bells were ringing everywhere, but many people didn't listen.
This.
I used to have a lot of Bitcoin on inputs.io, but one time my transaction did not go through so I emailed support and asked them around 157 bitcoin has not turned up.
They promptly sent 157 bitcoin to my address. The problem was that the transaction was 157.34, so they essentially just looked at the email and saw the number was close and just typed that in disregarding the .34.
Instead of complaining I just left the service completely, either they were incompetent or were not designing the system for long term use.
Trade used to go onto other peoples service discussions and rage at them for implementing shared wallets. Shared wallets were terrible and bad.
Much to my surprise Inputs.io had a shared wallet even though the founder (Trade) hated the idea.
Lets add it all up, the service was super buggy, they rounded down transactions at will, they implemented ideas they were morally opposed to.
They also were paying too much to gain from that expensive ad campaign.
I am certain it was a scam.
