No, Paymium is pocketing your coins. That's how they make money from Instawallet.

Hi Davout and Boussac

Is there any chance of helping somebody out that missed the opportunity to file a claim? I stupidly mistook the final date for the claims process, and due to circumstances I won't bore you with, I missed my chance. I'm sure you're busy and I appreciate the lengths you are going to to return the funds to all your users, but any assistance you could provide me would be greatly appreciated. I would very much like to get all my coins back.

Thank you kindly.

Any news on the wallet I have mentioned in previous posts?

UPDATE

The fourth payout batch was just sent. Tx ID is

'3f0f291a2807a47566e948a162d8db0bf80dc459435d6e1c9843b656c451ec04'.

Next payout date is Monday, August 19 at 4PM CEST.

Not yet but I just got a private message from user "arsy" who seems to be the one processing the multiple claims wallets.  He says there will be another payout this Friday.  Try sending him a PM!

I am so confused. Did we have to go back to our wallet url and "confirm" our claim again after making our initial claim? I have visited my wallet url multiple times since making my initial claim, and never saw anything to "confirm" my claim, or identity. My wallet still has status listed as MULTI_CLAIM and says "Flagged for Review due to multiple/conflicting claims This wallet has been flagged for review or further identification is needed before releasing a payout."

Even though both claims are actually mine b/c I accidentally double submitted.

I can see the above user had an identical problem. Are these types of claims just going to be last on the list, or is it because I have a smaller amount of btc? @brickhouse434 did you finally get paid? I don't have a problem with waiting, I just want to make sure I am not "missing" something on my part I need to do to get my payout.

ok, so now I have all the bitcoins reclaimed I had asked for. I wonder what will happen with the other 5 bitcoins I handed out and that recipients might only get aware of when it's worth thousands of dollars. will they sue me for falsely having claimed their money? did they claim them? what will happen to the money if nobody claims it, or did a full list of all wallets leak? in the latter case, is there a link? I'd be curious to see the non-random ones.

Link?

I was not stalking you on Blockchain. I repeat, I WAS NOT STALKING YOU ON BLOCKCHAIN. I found the address via a link that Boussac provided. I just read down the list and stumbled upon the name Davout of which I even had to make sure it was the correct spelling of your name and that I wasn't just reading a random string of letters incorrectly. After I confirmed that it was indeed your name, I did then look at your other transactions, of which if there was anything inappropriate going on, I don't think you would have used said address, thus nothing to see there (I don't believe).

I now do find it odd that you're using a rather defensive tone. In France, are they not familiar with the sugar/vinegar analogy?

UPDATE

The third payout batch was just sent. Tx ID is

'490a3ec2fb1bdb8a6f8fdcdba66376afdc6519f6560ac14c96452f1c6a86aad4'.

Next payout date is Friday, August 9 at 4PM CEST.

We wish you all a great week.

It's interesting. No matter how busy I've been in life, I've always been able to handle incoming e-mails, sometimes only to the effect of: Busy, will write you back during the weekend.

I guess some people lack this capability..

That makes two people connected the IW that's gotten paid prior to others who've had moneys tied up due to them, whether directly or indirectly: http://blockchain.info/address/1KYuZ4zZuGmphnix7eNkVjWpH9669bjAEA

Is it possible for someone at Instawallet Enterprises to get back to me regarding the status of my claim? The last thing I heard was on 20 July which stated I would probably be paid back on 26 July, that didn't happen. I know you are busy, but I'm probably not alone when I say it'd be nice to see a response to a legitimate inquiry before arguing with others here on btctalk... especially when I've done everything y'all have instructed me to do from the beginning of the entire claims process. I've been very patient with this, but lack of correspondence which would probably take 30 seconds of time encourages people like me to ask questions publicly instead of privately. Please send me a PM with an update if you can spare that 30 seconds. Thank you.

TL;DR:  Dude!  Chill.  The honest truth is that I am trying to help a brother out here.

LV (Longer Version):

You seem to be trying to run an international effort based on the sensibilities of the French.  I'm telling you that in many parts of the world you attitude is not at all appreciated.  I think that if you eventually manage to grok this you will probably have more success in your business efforts.

I think that a lot of people share my perception that in business and in other fields, the French tend to be a bit snotty and defensive.  And often fairly unreliable to say the honest truth.  I find it highly admirable that Asiana who recently wreaked a passenger jet as SFO came out with a sincere apology and were appropriately conciliatory.  Most importantly they did not deny their mistakes but rather outlined procedural changes in a transparent manner to make them less likely going forward.  Generally speaking an organization who will demonstrate an attitude of treating their customers as peers and part of the team in making things better will appeal to a large segment of humanity.  Those who are defensive and opaque will not.  The French may get away with this attitude if they tended to create things which were one of cheap or reliable and solid, but that does not seem to be a strong point of theirs...and the results speak for themselves on the world stage.

I have the mind of a scientist.  I've simply presented some possibilities which have the power to explain some observations which remain mysterious.  Being able to analyze all potential hypothesis without discarding any as being 'rude' or 'politically incorrect' or 'unorthodox' is what gives the scientific method it's amazing power to explain our environment.  Nothing personal.  Indeed, I've presented alternate hypotheses, observations which argue against the one which paints Bitcoin-Central as scammers, and my personal view that the 'incompetence' hypothesis is the strongest.  (That is, lacking the competence to mollify your negatively effected customer base.)  I've also defended many of your actions based on arguments of timing and tactics, and characterized your reconciliation strategy and execution as very good.

As I've already said, this is not about the money to me.  I had only a small fraction of my BTC at risk with Instawallet since I always considered it unreliable and was always prepared to walk away from my funds.  I'm glad to have it back, so if I've not already thanked you, 'thanks.'  At this point it is more about my genuinely desire to see you guys succeed if, for no other reason, we need more successful participants in the space you are trying to operate.  Unfortunately you guys are showing every indication of retreating further into your shell of denial and defensiveness.  So, your pool of customers is likely to be drawn mostly from those who are new and ignorant of Bitcoin history.

You're welcome.

My happiness at receiving my coins nearly made me forget about another wallet that I was talking with Davout about in IRC. I have sent a PM about it (the wallet with 232 if you remember Davout.)

If I could find out anymore about this then that would be great.

Received both my claims last Friday and I only confirmed the claims for payout on the 19/07 when I bumped into this thread.

Hope everyone gets it's coins back.

Thank you Steelboy! It's been a tedious process, but the end result is what counts.

The epic saga is over. Finally got my BTC back. All of them. I needed to confirm them by visiting the secret URL again and missed the first wave of payments. Should the page be more specific about this?

Hello Phinnaeus, you seem to have some sort of issue.
It is commonly seen as a constructive thing to clearly express a problem in order to find a solution.
The faggotry of suggesting statistical anomalies without backing them up with numbers, stalking me on the blockchain, and generally loitering around while giving us the evil look never achieved anything for anyone.

You seem angry, do something about it.



How do I put this... You've been paid, in full. Yet you keep questioning us, making half-assed theories without ever accusing us directly. You don't need to be a frenchman to see how that's extremely rude and inconsiderate. You also seem to expect us to provide you with some sort of additionnal information, I'm unsure about what makes you feel entitled to such a thing.

You have every right to be paranoid, but this is not the place for it.
If you are happy about the way we handled things feel free to express it here.
If you're unhappy about it, or have complaints, express them here, or privately, whichever you prefer.
If you have questions feel free, if you have suggestions, feel free.
Now, if you have conspiracy theories either go make a proper scam accusations thread, or go make a my-conspiracy-theories one and see what happens.

TL;DR : Please take your rude and off-topic bullshit elsewhere (and that one's for you too Phinnaeus).

My bad! I wasn't aware that the alphabet ended at 1Q on the blockchain: https://blockchain.info/address/1Hz8MDxpgS9QNxQf7BBr3b4ee5HjGhXFa1
