Topic: my MyEtherWallet/account was emptied - page 3. (Read 2244 times)
This is the problem. This is the environment that cryptocurrency people find themselves. Number one, you download software such as software wallets, mining software, and other things that we use as tools, and half of these things most people don't fully understand and they have to force through their firewall and security measures. Most cryptocurrency people have a minimum of 10 pieces and software on their system that they are security software did not like and they had to force it through anyway. Number two,, since there are no regulations websites and services come & Go leaving no effective Trail of who works for those companies.
You all are entirely true, 0% after 100% stupid mistake, and sure: I´ll do everything to be more careful.
In future I will always JUST log in with my json-file + password, what I should have done earlier, but tried once, didnt work, stopped thinking about it and now feel the pain in the ass...
Anyway, we all stay aware, concentrated & positive...
Kind regards
Stefan

I know my chances are practically 0%, but maybe somebody has an idea.
I did a huge mistake and lost 10k $ after I put (copy & paste) my Privatekey (instead of my address) into a spreadsheet... so all my assets had been transferred to https://etherscan.io/address/0xda1efbf72db93ce5dfa47e5ff772dde8f19e2065
and sitting there since... is there anything I can do (beside hitting my head against an stone) ?
Thanks in advance

That bastard guy should be get punishment to steal your money. Sorry mate, i don't have any idea how to recover/get your money back from him. 27 ETH is a lot, for me as well.I did a huge mistake and lost 10k $ after I put (copy & paste) my Privatekey (instead of my address) into a spreadsheet... so all my assets had been transferred to https://etherscan.io/address/0xda1efbf72db93ce5dfa47e5ff772dde8f19e2065

Now all you can do is create a new MEW, make sure never ever posted your private key again.
I don't think that there is a chance or any way to get back your money , I hope that you will be more careful about your private key and you learn from your mistake

Sad to hear out but I would say 0% chance is very real on these kind of scenarios which those coins are lost forever unless if the owner of the address would return those coins. Since it have been stolen then 100% it wont come back for sure and its really a stupid mistake of yours why you did paste publicly on your private key and wasted up that huge amounts. 10k usd is too much and I'm sure that thief is laughing as of now.

Thanks for all your warm words, mates. I followed the advice of some and wrote an open letter to the one who explored the mistake, now just hoping for the best, I believe the good side in everybody´s heart is strong enough for a move like this, greed might exceed it, though.
Sorry to hear about your loss, but your assets are very likely gone now.
For future transfers, you might consider a hardware wallet. Ledger Nano S or Trezor are two recommended brands. Both are pretty good at protecting your private key.

Never use on-line wallet that you don't totally control.
People using this 'exodus' or 'jaxx' are also playing with fire.

Oh dear, sorry to hear about your loss. I believe there is no way for you to recover the coins.

Ohh my word, I am really sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I doubt anything can be done. Were you applying for a bounty campaign? If yes, in future, have a separate account for such things and keep large amounts of your investment in a separate out of reach account.
I am quite confused about this. As far as I know, the number of characters for private key and ETH wallet address are not the same. So in my understanding, you can't input the private key as the ETH wallet address, because it will be an invalid address. So under normal scenario, the transaction will be declared invalid and the coins returned to the sender address.
Unfortunately for you it is gone, its a very costly mistake. You are right about having next to no chance of recovering the coins. The only thing left is to learn from it and ensure it never happens again.

Did the campaign manager ever notified you that you input a private key instead of ETH wallet? since private key is much longer.
No, unfortunatelly not, just tonight, when I informed him, but that was about 4 days too late...

I feel sorry for your loss, its's your own mistake not to careful input information.
There is no chance to recover that since you do not know who steal your tokens, just let it go and continue your journey.
People makes mistakes though.
