I just tried taking a payout from one of my two accounts (the one whose balance was showing correctly), and it shows as "in process" now, with the amount subtracted from my balance (although when I submitted the payment, it said "some error occurred"). Will report back if I see a tx confirmed.
There seem to be some life left.
My account is some how showing the correct amount owed right now.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, only out 0.11 btc from there. Still hurts (thats a couple weeks mining for me) but not a major loss in the grand scheme of things.
Almost a week now with no serious update other than the store is still working.
Even if they do recover and restore the site, not sure I would trust it again and I'm sure there are lots of others with the same feeling

ok, this one is for the "grassy-knoll" folks out there:
Did 50BTC.com do this to themselves?
Has anyone out there gotten their balances adjusted or any payments processed?
better yet, anyone out there want to confess that they got an invalid payout and is holding some ill-gotten gain?
..... *crickets chirping*

Not here. Lost about 2 BTC.....and I bet nobody will get their bitcoins because there is no way they could pay for all stolen bitcoins themselves.

Why should they have done so? At 120 TH/s the pool still generated about 220 BTC per day, so the 3% PPS were about $40k per month for the pool at current exchange rates.
I guess the more interesting question is, if they really have lost all bitcoins in the pool wallet, do they have any interest in restoring the balances?
if the bitcoins are gone, restoring out balances is largely pointless, since they won't be able to pay us, and the vast majority of us would not return to mine there. this could well be the death of this pool.

My balance before the data corruption was .33 BTC. They can easily confirm this by my hash rate and last payout date. I don't care about what I made from the corruption time to the time I moved my miner either. Just fix my balance ! :-(
agreed. only looking at .05 for me.

User's balance data was corrupted, please provide us your balance amount before the attack.
O.o Was there no backup of data or balances that they could refer back to?
As you say, leaving this down to the reports from members of their balances prior to the attack opens up a huge potential for them to be defrauded
When i logged in i tried to recover my 33 BTC and it wouldnt payout to me
i'm going to ask them if they can pay it out to me...

To be fair to 50BTC, I just received a support answer from them:
Hello!
We're doing our best to restore the service, but unfortunately we can't provide you the exact date.
Our work on this case is constantly interrupted by a DDoS attack.
User's balance data was corrupted, please provide us your balance amount before the attack.
Thank you for your patience.
I answered them honestly, but unfortunately, I'm sure there are people who will take advantage of this situation. The thing is that if people do lie about their balances it will make it impossible for 50BTC to balance the books and start paying anyone. I am pleasantly surprised that they answered me back! Maybe they will fix the damage?

PilotCurly99, dude np - I rely respect that everyone has its own view on things :] i just felt exactly like u think (ok I got my bfl miner now - and I did not invest to mutch money) but waiting for 1y and 1m was a big pain.
so my hypothesis is that its true that all coins are gone or that 50btc owners are amazingly stupid. still no statements and the statements they do include not the info everyone want to know. I try not to be pissed becasue A - I tried to withdraw on a daily basis before, and B - I am the 'fool' who put my trust in 'them'. *shift their risk on to groups of individuals in this industry" - exactly.

Sead, sorry if I offended you. I won't bore everyone else here with our opposing viewpoints.
The issue on this thread is why 50BTC won't provide any answers! If you lost everyone's Bitcoins that were waiting to be paid out, just tell us. I lost about a day and a half's worth of mining. Not the end of the world, but sure would have appreciated a head's up that you had stopped paying out, rather than letting us continue mining on your pool.
Just like everyone else, I want the Bitcoins I mined! But alas, I guess they are gone, as is your mining pool... You know there was someone else that claimed they were hacked and lost everyone's BTC... I wonder...
Can anyone confirm or deny the reference to IRC chat below that they lost everything?
No hot/cold wallet? no reserve? really? REALLY?!!

50btc,
i neither hold a grudge nor do have anything to to gain except for the minor loss i had gained in shares (haha, yeah, i know its gone anyways, probably).
Anyways, if you want a standard security scan done which may uncover vulneribilities you dont see locally just mail me. I´ll do that for free.
