Topic: MyBitcoin Back Up! (with a press release) - page 5. (Read 12357 times)
If MyBitcoin wants to come back online and stay in business, they should prevent a bank run. Which is quite likely to happen and would worsen the situation.
I see a lot of similarities with the MtGox hack, they got out of it stronger. This should be possible for MyBitcoin as well.
It's going to be harder for him, since he was MIA for a week. He should have said something right away.
Sure, it will be harder and should have said something right away, but there are a lot of things he can do. Most people have nothing more to loose, only to gain (even if it is just a small amount of what they had stored). Starting with good communication and updates is just a start. There are some highly trusted members in this community (Bruce for example). If he can get their trust, things will get more easy.

Just works here. Did MyBitcoin change the DNS record? Might take time for you to get the update.

It's still working for me. Maybe they've moved the site and it hasn't propogated yet.

Wow, best thing for Tom to do now is step in the open (list all used addresses on MyBitcoin, so that things can be traced (if someone sells stolen bitcoins MtGoox/Tradehill or other exchanges might track the thief down)) and start communicating with people, that will give him some credit.
Second, he stated once that most of the bitcoins were stored off-site. How can they be gone as well?
It is all up to Tom to get his credit back and I think that there are enough people who would be willing to help him with that. If he was a real scammer we wouldn't hear anything from him back.

Regarding MyBitcoin, this is at least better than the owner being a fraudster.
That's still not determined and at either rate the damage is already done.

Though it could also encourage less vigilance in the future …
DO NOT STORE YOUR DAMN SAVINGS WITH SITES WHERE YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO THE OWNER IS.

I've been up way to long and can't make sense of this post, I will sleep and try again in the morning. 
Don’t worry, I’ve given up on making sense of any of his posts for a long time myself.Regarding MyBitcoin, this is at least better than the owner being a fraudster. Either way, a criminal made a killing, and all of us are encouraging that.
who are we encouraging that?

good night
maybe bitcoin go "Up Up Up" as you sleep sound in your bed
Maybe once he saw the posts about a bounty on his head, he got a little antsy. These geeks are some great detectives.
If you are going to posit that theory you might as well also float somewhat the opposite:
Upon seeing that Luigi, Kneecapper, Throatcut, Sniper, and DaBossMan had all lost huge numbers of bitcoins by using his shopping interface on their MurderIncorporated.i2p site he seriously considered trying to vanish, until after days of valium and perusing the forum he woke up to the idea that maybe somehow the geek squad maybe even with or without the aid of Agent Andersen of the - oops I mean *not* of the - CIA might somehow be able to keep DaBossMan and his goons at bay...
-MarkM- (What, that could be fiction? Gosh, really? However do you come up with that idea?)

On Friday of last week we noticed that one of our pooled holding servers was missing a large amount of Bitcoins.

Did people say most of the coins haven't been moved?... If this happens to me, my first reaction would be moving all remaining coins into a new wallet.
I won't believe this until he provides transaction details.
That's my take. Keep an eye on the blockexplorer.

this wasn't clear... the bounty will be on the hacker of my bitcoin .. maybe thats Tom Williams him self, and maybe not .. the hacker may have boosted to some friends. one of these friend (or friends of friends) could be able to tell us who the hacker is. with a bounty out on his head it gives poeple intensive to come forward.
and maybe we'll get the bitcoin back!
Why do you guys believe a single thing "Tom Williams" says?
I don't have any evidence either way, but from looking at the whole picture, I don't believe one word of it.

He's a bit late with his note to the community. I'm sure he didnt want to, but his silence for a week was unconscionable.
Hopefully MBC has the decency of hiring a reputable firm to handle the receivership.
Being offshore that's the only realistic way I can think of for users to have some faith that they received the maximum amount of btc possible in liquidation.
Of course transaction logs of the theft are also a must.
