OMG I guess now you have to options: 1) Centralized crypto exchanges may declare they return your stolen assets. Foe example, Binance reimbursed about 83% of assets stolen from Curve Finance users, and Bitfinex recovered most of the stolen funds in the form of BFX, but it was a long way to go.
2) You may cross your fingers and wait till the small voice of human conscience makes a hacker change his mind like in the “crypto Robin Hood” case. Idk what else, here some more tips: https://oneart.digital/en/blog/how-to-retrieve-your-hacked-crypto-wallet

Lmao I was fully expecting to click this and for the OP to literally say "haha, fooled you" or something similar. Obvious fabrication as already proven but anyone who stores more than a double-digit $ amount of Bitcoin on an online wallet like blockchain.info is begging to get hacked or scammed, you are opening yourself to additional vectors of attack by using an online wallet no matter how secure blockchain.info claims to be, all to save yourself the extra effort of having to download a wallet client.
In case anyone reading this is wondering how to actually safely store a large amount of Bitcoin, cold storage on a computer disconnected from the internet is always the way to go!

Did anyone work out what site that address belongs to?
It can't be coinbase as they do 1 to 2 and use native segwit. Binance merge a ton of transactions into one so it also can't be them. And bitmex do the same as binance...
Because they then come back later and flat out beg for BTC
That or they come back later as another person who was also hacked, and try to fish for money to start a lawsuit.
-Dave
It's like the loan listing for $5-10... They want something from it and if they can work out it works then they'll keep doing it every few months so enough people forgot.

Trying to come up with the reason why somebody would invent a story like this. Struggling to come to a conclusion as to why anybody would be so weird.

Nature has created two main ways for living beings to learn things, pleasure and pain. Pleasure should be our favourite choice, but each time we don't do our homework then plan b steps is - and that is pain.
It looks like you have taken the second learning route this round.
The bad news: you won't recover your loss.
The good news: you've learned something very important, even though at a really high price - take care of your funds, store them in a safe hardware wallet or in a paper wallet.
The marginal news: Almost everyone in crypto has sooner or later paid the bitter price of not having done their homework (me included). What makes a difference is the way one uses these lessons.
EDIT: Reading the latest posts it seems the story may be a fabricated one. In this case I'd have made a mistake, and waisted 5 minutes of my life. Well, I'll take this lesson

I wouldn't be surprised if OP is just fishing for Merits.
Or he really believes that someone can help him recover/steal those 100Btc and send them back to his address.I didn't buy his story since all addresses which sent coins to "the hacker" address by that date are Segwit and AFAIK blockchain.com only support Legacy addresses.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! OP's story is a FABRICATION!
I wouldn't be surprised if OP is just fishing for Merits. I often send Merit to new users, but I always do some background check before sending them. OP didn't qualify.

We can't possibly know his internal motivation for lying nor can we know the reward. I do feel like he's watching though with every thread bump; a little gleam in his eye and a stupid grin on his face.
For my part, I'm un-watching this thread.

If it is true,
You should be backing anything over $10,000 in value in cold storage. Even if your computer got hacked,
they would physically need to know the password and have the device to touch your coins.
I can't comprehend anyone that would store $100,000s or more without the usage of a cold storage wallet.
A hot wallet is fine if its $100s or $1000+, and you were just using it to buy a cup of coffee or for small-time usage.
Great provider of cold storage: https://trezor.io/
I would OP, contact the main exchanges, provide as much info as you can.

I would say that you should be backing any value that you can't afford to lose in cold storage and not just a defined number. If you can't afford to lose $100 then you should not be storing that amount in a hot wallet. $1000 for a lot of people is a life changing amount for those that live in poorer countries. I would recommend a trezor only when you are storing a huge amount of Bitcoin because they can be pricey otherwise and a paper wallet generated correctly is just as safe and there are tutorials and tools out there to make this almost idiot proof.

As I have demonstrated - he is a liar and a fraud.
He DID NOT LOSE anything.
Move along folks. Nothing to see here.

I have no sympathy for OP for the following reasons:
1) Storing a substantial amount of coins on a web wallet you don't control the keys to.
2) Blindly running software/scripts from untrusted parties to get some second-rate shitcoin like BCH.
(Not) Sorry For Your Loss
This is brutal but has many truth in it. If OP wouldn't lost his BTC now, he would month later or year later. No question about it.1) Storing a substantial amount of coins on a web wallet you don't control the keys to.
2) Blindly running software/scripts from untrusted parties to get some second-rate shitcoin like BCH.
(Not) Sorry For Your Loss
Zero knowledge how to store BTC, zero knowledge how it works, zero responsibility for keeping $820000 for his family. Sad but OP didn't put ANY work into learning about what hes putting money into.
October 06, 2019, 06:26:18 AM
Im sure OP does learn his lesson. Setting 2fa just takes a minute to finish right? We can't say he's is ignorant, He's just a victim that was targetted by a hacker.
He actually had 2 FA on. OP's biggest problem was greed if all he's talking about is true and maybe not trying to get himself a hardware wallet for that amount. I mean how do you to claim a shitcoin worth $2500 out of a random popup message yet you already have solid BTC worth $820,000. It doesn't make any sense
October 06, 2019, 04:46:26 AM
It's a surprise that the OP don't know blockchain dot com is providing the option for second password which is asked before sending the currencies if he set the second password that would have saved his (BTC100 is huge) currencies. Sorry for your ignorance OP.

I felt really bad when i read the Subject but now this all seems to be made up.
you claim to have ~100 Bitcoins that you did not move but can clearly be seen to have been moved multiple times, over the past days.
It seems you are just trying to phish us or just play a trick.
Regardless, even if true- nothing can be done anymore. If given you porn choice, you are indeed Indian, there is even less that police will do about it as the legality of Bitcoin is on the very negative end in the country right now.
Just call it a expensive lesson and move on

i have used this website to watch private stuff http://desixnxx2.net/ this first time happend i scan my computer all every month no virus found i also got ip address of hacker country says ghana.
AlexAndaw, I think you were forced to download or update something on that porn site. Its kinda common to have sudden popup on these porn sites and they forced to click on the yes button. In most of the cases without clicking on yes button visitors can't go forward or back page. Undoubtedly its a clear trap where hackers use this kinda porn sites to plant their hacking tool or file on visitors device. Most probably you have done something similar like that If i am not wrong. Feeling really sad after hearing about your loss and its unexpected too. I hope you will be able to recover your losses soon. Please clean your computer before downloading any other wallet for future use.
October 06, 2019, 12:41:58 AM
Feeling sorry for OP about your loss. I want to clarify that you will never get back your bitcoin. Bitcoin isn't reversible and there is no any other way to back it. If you are talking about ip address then you are wrong, hacker will never use their original ip address during hack. See how greed destroy our life. You were had $820,000 but you were greedy just for 10BCH. In a result you lost your total fund forever.
To be honest it wasn't really easy task to hack you blockchain wallet. There was 4 step security, password, IP verification, 2FA and second password. You just provide them all the details. Why you were not thought you might hack. I am wondering someone from your near involved with this attack who know about your bitcoin and about your habits. And this attack happen by known peoples, it's just my suspicion.
On the other hand why someone should store this huge amount of bitcoin? A hardware wallet isn't high price for you. Or you might use other software wallet like electrum or core.
However, you just lost money, it doesn't mean you have to lose hope of your life. It's a lesson for you, money could be earn once again. But life only one, if it's gone then it will never back. So past is past, go ahead with future. It was a costly lesson for you.

Hey xhomerx10: which tool is that one?
Thanks,
Fillippone
That looks like blockchain(dot)com's transaction tree visualization.Thanks,
Fillippone
Just search for any transaction, click "view tree chart" next to "visualize:" and click the circles to expand/extend the branches.
