This to me is the major flaw in crypto. The decentralised idea is great until it goes wrong like this. At least if your bank account gets compromised, you have a certain level of protection.
Imagine seeing your lifes savings dissapear like that?

There are solutions like hardware wallets that are becoming better every day. Once Shadow Project upgrades to be HD compatible then SDC can probably be used with hardware wallets like Trezor also. Soon we will have hardware wallets that you can stake with. You don't always have protections with bank accounts either. In the US, the IRS and other agencies can seize your money with no crime required. Banks can have bail-ins like in Cyprus where they steal your money too. Its a young industry and anything FIAT can do, crypto can also do. Once the infrastructure is more established then it will be easy to hold crypto in a bank if you wish, and there is no reason why you can't have insurance on your deposits. I prefer to hold it myself however, because of the benefits and lack of the need to trust others that it provides.

I hear what you are saying there, yes, hardware wallets etc. etc. we all know this, as it is an interest, and indeed a passion for most of us here. I am talking more regarding widespread adoption. Say for instance i had 50k sterling (i dont!) there is no way i would put it all into crypto- i simply do not trust it completely at the moment, i keep on hearing horror stories like this. And i am into crypto. I see a massive problem in attracting the masses, this fantastic community fighting for decentralised currency- and i talk about the whole crypto community here, are heading for perhaps a need for a certain amount of centralisation and protection. I do not agree with this, but it is a massive paradox.

I'm pretty careful. All of the bad stories I know of involve keeping coins someplace other than your wallet on your computer. If they're there they're as secure as your computer, and personal computer security is something that has a lot of powerful tools.

Nope...no other Wallets. I have spotify, wickr, skype, WoW, CS GO, Steam and the ShadowCash qt.

Brand new computer, ASUS from costco.

No other wallets on my old computer either which i had staking for months on end.

My old laptop is a chromebook with ubuntu 14.04 and hardly any software at all. I just have the thing on to stake SDC. But as soon as i get a new computer and sync the new bootstrap/wallet, my coins go adios!

Weird.

I am not new to crypto at all. I know how to use pgp and encrypt all sensitive info.

And heres all the addresses ive ever used aside from my bittrex one which ill post.

and heres my bittrex address..

Personally, i would have kept that amount of coins in cold storage. But it seems that nothing is 100% safe. Bloody scum out there.

I had the coins in cold storage.....with a password 30+ characters long. This isnt the first time ive dealt with crypto

A blockchain.info wallet? That just doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

This totally sucks.

That's what i don't understand? How is a blockchain wallet secure? Surely that would be dependant on there security measures? And i am sure i have head of problems with these before? Or am i missing something here?

YOu cant hold SDC in a BLockchain wallet...My point is someone tried accessing my Blockchain the same time my 55k SDC went gone. From a brand new computer with no programs on it beside WoW, CS GO, Spotify, and the SDC Wallet qt. Makes no sense at all.
