Something else that's interesting is that thufir aka Sam Maloney registered at this forum only 2 weeks before the MyBitcoin scam domain was registered.
What a coincidence that 2 scammers that use the same MO to steal bitcoins would enter the Bitcoin world so early on, within 2 weeks or less of each other???
Topic: thufir of vekja.net (Read 1190 times)
I think that the user thufir, perhaps, somehow connected with "Sam Maloney" http://whois.domaintools.com/vekja.net is a scammer. I have/had deposited bitcoin at vekja.net anonymously, back when the site was up, and one could do that.
Since the site has gone offline, I have contacted both the admin contacts for it and thufir via PM here. Not surprised that there has not been any response.
Here is how that post looks at the time of this writing:
I am glad the word "always" has a different meaning to most of us, as compared to thufir, Sam Maloney, or whoever this is. This one took the site offline with other people's bitcoins without even the lame charade mybitcoin.com put up.
I think "services" like vekja.net are the main reason bitcoin hasn't "caught on" yet. Here is another gem from the good old days when it all began:

I would like to point out then that http://vekja.net has always provided a Free web based Bitcoin account even better than the mybitcoin service mentioned above (in addition to the non-free Email and Web service that I announced earlier).
I should have announced this separately before, as there is such great value in a Bitcoin Web App. The value is not just for Grandpa, but is also for anyone who wants to use Bitcoin on a mobile device (or any platform where there is no client yet available).
If you haven't done so already, please come check out the https://Vekja.net Bitcoin web app. Registration is free and does not require an email like the mybitcoin service currently does.
If you have any questions or suggestions, just use the built in messaging system to send a message to admin. I will be glad to help.
For the record: I hereby promise that the Vekna.net Bitcoin account will always remain free (that includes spam free). This was always my intent from the beginning.
