I submitted my form 72 hours ago. No bitcoins. I'm really, really pissed. There is no way to contact them at all. Their website just has their statements and their claim form.

When I try to log in now, it says "your balance is zero." (your bitcoins have been claimed).

From what I can see they're basically doing the bare minimum required to stop the community coming after them and nothing more. You're quite likely never to see any of your bitcoins again.

I know. Frankly, I don't know why "they" bothered. It's not like anyone can find "them," right?

Anyone else get this message?

That's the message you get when your claim has been submitted, whether or not your balance ever reaches you.

Or try it again in a few days. The form says they are all processed manually within 48 hours. Presumably, they would just cancel it when they see that it isn't to a valid address.

Bitcoins have entered the Void.

It's my understanding that bitcoins sent to invalid addresses will bounce.

Then he has less than 30 days to get in contact with MyBitcoin.

I doubt it. But the MyBitcoin database now has the wrong balance for my account, of course. Grr.

Ok, this is partly UI trouble, but it's blocking my claim now, permanently. Yes, I'm aware that MyBitcoin originally truncated the password, this is not the root cause of my problem at the moment. Before the claim, when I re-installed 1Password after the Mac OS X Lion update, the default behavior is to auto submit the form after filling in the username and password.

Basically, I had 1Password fill in the claim form authentication. But it automatically submitted the form right away. Right before it submitted, it filled in my username as the claim address. Now it says my balance is zero.
