Well, I had my accounts hacked in Bittrex and HitBTC by 24th July. The hacker also tried to hack into Poloniex, but this one asks for a code sent by email.
It was my fault, I used the same password in the three exchanges, and I was not using 2FA, a foolish attitude from my part. The hacker messed my Bittrex funds, he sold everything he could for bitcoins, except the altcoins below 50k satoshis in value. However, he was not able to withdraw it from Bittrex, since this would require a confirmation by email. I had nothing stored in HitBTC.
The interesting part is that I also have a account in Btc-e, and if I'm not mistaken I was using the same password there too. The attack was nearly the same time people reported Btc-e shutting down.
The exchanges sent emails with logging information, but not Btc-e. The hacker used a proxy and Chrome as browser.

The sad thing is that it might be easier for me to get my namecoins from BTC-e from the government than it is getting past their verification process due to a frozen account. After sending a copy of my passport and 3 months of bank statements they rejected it saying they needed a notarized ID scan from a third party, 3 months of proof of salary, utility bill, bank statements (all notarized) etc.
In other words, they want to keep all of my coins and no amount of verification will suffice.

Well, I had a similar experience with BTC-e.. actually twice. My account was hacked twice. The first time was fairly easy to regain access - about a year ago.
The second time was more extensive (about 6 months ago) - because my account had been hacked in a more invasive way, on the second occasion. Both times, I regained access to my account because they were convinced that it was me through various verification procedures.
If they were having difficulties verifying your identity - then yeah, more difficulties to get your coins back.
I really have my doubts about whether the government is going to return our funds in the status that they were... I have dollars and BTC on BTCe... so maybe like GOX, it could take a few years to regain access, if at all and then we might only receive a fraction of our amounts.
We gonna have to kiss our BTC-e funds goodbye? Let's see,... let's see?

I am thinking about pushing a Segwit patch to Bitcoin Cash github. Any chance it would be approved on time before 1 Aug?
You can try. I'm guessing you'll be met with an overwhelming chorus of NAKs.
Damn Bitcoin Cash Core ! They want to control everything! They are stopping real scalability for their own benefit!
Hahah.
On a more serious note: There are several other mechanisms that fix malleability. There is still a discussion to be had as to whether or not SegWit is the best approach.
Can't let it go, right? just give segwit (and peace) a chance...
Seems a way for the USA govt to steal people's bitcoins and blame such stealing on the corruption of an exchange operator who was likely not engaged in all the bullshit accusations.
Perhaps. OTOH, there seems to be evidence that the proprietor of BTC-e was involved in both the MtGox theft and the bitcoinica theft.

Yes, I read that the articles and the government proclamations are making those kinds of connections.
One thing is to have someone who is using your services that is engaged in illegal activity, but does not necessarily arise to the level of the guilt of the exchange itself - and the various regular account holders, including yours truly.
Accusations is one thing and evidence and proof is another thing.. I doubt that we have enough information from merely getting most of our information from the government's current rendition.

OMG, I think it is safe to assume that BTC-e is now insolvent.

I doubt that the exchange is even close to as profitable to pay a $110 million fine, so the only way for da gbrnmet to get the money is to confiscate customer funds... .. including some of the BTC (and cash) of yours truly. those fucks, meaning da gobrnment.... when me gonna get me money back!!!!!!
July 26, 2017, 09:34:19 PM
Yeih, great, i can use this countdown really well, because i still got some BTC (intentionally) on exchange, because there`s some real good trading opportunities there now (no risk, no fun).
Hope your countdown is accurate ?

I am not sure whether I should feel bad for you...
or to roll my eyes at your seeming stubborn persistencies? 
Yeah, fuck, I am sorry Torque that you shorted or sold or something in the $2400 territories, but it seems that you will be very lucky if you are able to get back in anywhere below $2600 - and that might be a considerable stretch absent some very convincing FUD - because ordinary FUD is not likely to damper the current ongoing upwards BTC price pressures.
In other words, sorry for your loss.

Dash is fungible and private and absolutely not a scam nor has it ever been. Please do your own research before blindly regurgitating monero rhetoric.
Both parties are wrong. It's not possible for any cryptocurrency to be fungible:
CT and schnorr sigs will make btc fungible.
Cryptocurrency is NOT fungible. You're trying to make believe that if coins can be tumbled it's somehow fungible but there is more to it than that. If anything about the protocol at all can be altered via a strongman or banana republic voting to take over it's exposed power vacuum it's not fungible. Anonymint even agreed on this at one point in time but he has probably cucked out and did a 180 now that he wants to release a cryptocurrency of his own.
Money = has objective, static traits
Currency = random arbitrary bullshit some guy makes up and constantly fiddles with like fiat or bitcoin. If it's possible for your money to "hard fork", or randomly morph from one thing to another, it's not fungible, and hence not money. In that circumstance you are involved in some type of scheme with a schemer ruling over you.
It doesn't matter if said forks are orchestrated by a banana republic of miners in a voting process. There is no Nash equilibrium in cryptocurrency, only a power vacuum to be filled by a top down hierarchy or strongman. To escape this master and servant hierarchy you have to use real money that cannot be altered or tampered with by third parties.
Maybe, and just MAYBE fungibility is a concept that has changed, like everything in life. But who am I
Negative.

If, in any case, bitcoin skyrockets on 1st August, I'm predicting some big robberies/scams/hacks at Polo/Yo/etc.
So make sure you've your bitcoin in your OWN personal paper wallet!

While we are all worried about BTC-e, what about all of those other hosted services that are going to be offline in Russia for 5 to 10 days due to unscheduled maintenance? What about all of those guys...and how this will affect a major hosting service?
Always thinking of yourselves.
Shame!
