Did you save your recovery key/recovery password somewhere when you enabled Bitlock?

I think I was one of the last ones to successfully withdraw from gox, thankfully pulled out all I needed to buy my house before the withdraw problems started.

Although it was at an average of $120/btc, missed the 266 bubble and this runup... Would have been way better off with a mortgage.
You can talk about sellers remorse in a couple of years.

Still got plenty more.

Besides, remorse is the 5000btc wallet lost to a corrupted bitlocker partition, or close to that lost to pirate.

Jesus Christ, I can't imagine.

Truly no way to recover that partition?

Sent it off to 4 data recovery companies. Almost all datas intact, but the bitlocker metadata (including master key) are corrupt... 256 bit AES key

I wouldn't give up if I were you.

Obviously you can't brute force a 256 bit AES key. But you MIGHT be able to brute-force an algorithm to fix whatever corruption happened to the metadata... I'm not an expert but at the very least it seems plausible.

For 5000 bitcoins, I'd hire an expert and get a few Amazon GPU clusters going. If you're not into the idea of trying out of pocket, maybe you'd be willing to crowdfund to give it a shot? I'd be interested.

Metadata dosen't matter too much, the key is part of whats corrupt. Would me far more cost effective to attempt to brute force the silk road coins

Well, except from reporting you for being a terrorist, holding the bitcoinica funds hostage, laggy engine, leaking 60k user accounts, ddos panic crash, delayed fiat withdraws, networks congestion delayed btc withdraws, ltc 6 months++ delay and rude support replies. Mark seems like a pretty cool guy.


That's gold, Jerry.

dude, sell your house and get back in the game!

You don't need to sell it, just mortgage the crap out of it. Banks are lining up to give you 120% of the value.

The problem is that Gox has had so many self inflicted wounds that when assholes DDOS them no one has any sympathy left.

fuck gox, hope it dies in a fire caused by a train

It is better to have 3 exchanges instead of 2.

Some people have been waiting months for fiat withdrawals. That is unacceptable.
I was a huge fan of gox until June when they messed me around. Would not touch them with a bargepole until ALL their problems are resolved.
FWIW Their api is much better than stamps however.
