If it was team viewer, obviously you been racking your brain thinking, but you given access to anyone lately ?

Nope, even the mrs struggles to remember my access passwords Tongue

Andy, did you check if there is any background programs or services running yet?

I would like to know because it might give clues as to tracking the thief

There was a couple of Trojans. Also found them on my my pc. I may have tracked them to my laptop when I was downloading and installing files on both computers.

So I am guessing your laptop wasn't as "secure" as you thought it was.

I would recommend using paper wallets next time.
And DO make sure that you generate your paper wallet address from a really secure system.
What I see as secure system is:

Format your PC and make sure it has NO connection to the internet,
Generate the paper wallet address and write down your private key,
Re-format the PC you have created your paper wallet from.

I think you should be safe there.

EDIT: Do keep in mind that even after formatting data can be retrieved.

A good chunk of the money was in a paper wallet. I transferred it to my regular wallet to send it to coinjar next week.

I would sent it straight to coinjar, but after weexchange and gox, I can't trust anyone else to hold my money. Not even me Apparently Embarrassed

I appreciate all the donations I've received so far

I'm still keen for a loan. I'll put up the Museum as collateral if I have to.

The museum is important to me, but Noella is more important.

I'm sorry Bitcoin, but I've been cheating on you Tongue

God bless you if this is honest but all of these sobs stories are coming out like crazy now. First it's suicide stories, now it's you were going to pay for your wedding and honeymoon. Listen, you have so much BTC in your possession, why are you not keeping all of these safer? I read all the scam losses you've had and I'm like, after 1 or 2, why wouldn't you be keeping better hold of your coins?

This isn't just a random user with a sobstory this a long time member of the community.

Was this 14 BTC of your own money or 14 BTC of other people's money?

Does it matter?

The BTC is gone....

You laptop may even have virus that could have caused the issue

Definitely good idea to decide weather the laptop is going to be a secure wallet or not and if so back up files somewhere and do a complete wipe and only install Bitcoin QT and a Virus Scanner.

was about to ask but your keylogger comment answered my question.

I'm going to send you a PM in a few minutes. I would really appreciate you DO NOT mention or pass on what I say in the PM.
its got nothing to do with the hack, but maybe I can help with something....

Just gonna make some coffee then send the PM.
PM me if you do not hear anything from me in like 15 minutes... I get forgetful at times :p

Sorry for your loss mate. Sad to hear when a fellow AU or anyone gets screwed over like this.

He seems like a caring member of the community and has setup the Bitcoinmuseum showing he was in it for the long haul and his fiance has a shop that accepts BTC. I really hope he gets a decent ammount donated to him and it shows how much the community is willing to help one of their own.

Cheers for the kind words.

I don't think I could ever break up the museum. It was my dream to eventually have a physical space to display the items

It was my PC that was infected.

My encoded Bitcoin wallets all had different passwords. I think they may have had a keylogger.

Shit.

I'd only sent the bitcoins from my cold wallet a couple of days earlier. This was just bad timing

I will repeat myself - use task manager to see what's running in the background Wink

Yeah it was what I thought was a secure computer.

I just figured out what happened.

On my pc, my team viewer was compromised. I hadn't changed the password after the heart bleed bug happened. Or someone may have gotten the password when the forums got hacked.

The log says someone logged in and downloaded every file or folder that says Bitcoin in it.

Then transferred a file that I've identified as a Trojan. I think I may have tracked it on to the secure pc.

Fucking fuck fuck dammit

Secure computer with Teamviewer on it? Roll Eyes

Setup a donation fund IMO.

He seems like a caring member of the community and has setup the Bitcoinmuseum showing he was in it for the long haul and his fiance has a shop that accepts BTC. I really hope he gets a decent ammount donated to him and it shows how much the community is willing to help one of their own.

I would say do a crowfunding campaign.
You got the goods (BTC memorabilia) and you are running out of time.

Setup a crowdfunding campaign and offer BTC memorabilia to those who participate.

Just a thought.

It would be a shame to lose pieces that would one day be in a physical museum, maybe promise to put a plaque of the users names saying "This piece was saved by : User A, User B" especially on hard to find items.

★☆★777Coin.com★☆★ What are you waiting for?

teamviewer, and not changing your passwords after a forum was hacked? Why would you even have the same password for everything, including MONEY!? lesson learned the hard way, i guess. I lost over 30BTC to Silkroad being seized, oh well we live and we learn. If others join in to donate I'll spend you 0.075-0.100BTC
