Re: Alitin Mint Coin Breach

So far, we have received very few reports and we believe that the breach was quite limited, but we urge any of our customers to contact us so that we can work with you on an individual basis to resolve the matter to your satisfaction as soon as possible.

There were approximately 56 coins which may have been breached according to this post by bitenvy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1814828.msg18079926#msg18079926

So far, that's roughly $140k in lost bitcoins.

1. Will you provide a list of all of the public keys associated with the coins you've sold? From that we could check to see how many were redeemed last month and get the entire total.

2. Please provide the list of people who were involved from key generation, to engraving, to assembling into the final slab.

3. At which point in the process do you believe the breach occurred? And why was it only a subset of the coins?

Were they all breached? Or is it ppl peeling and redeeming majority of coins after alarms went off?

I think we can tell the difference by looking at the claiming transactions. However, Alitin has a real problem here going forward. They will need to try to differentiate between the people that got ripped off by having their BTC swept by the thief and the people trying to rip them off by reclaiming the BTC themselves and them filing a claim.

For the transactions I found. All were swept and stolen on the same day. That doesn't mean there aren't more. But, any transactions in my list are likely valid as stolen because they were all taken the same day (2/26). Hopefully there are not more than the 50+ I've found.

I would like to ask again for a list of all public keys for both your Adam Smith 2BTC coin as well as your Jeanne D'Arc 1BTC coin (even if in PM), and we can confirm how many and which ones are compromised. Public would be better.

OK, we can hope that they swept all the private keys they had, they did not have them all, and so the rest of the coins are safe. Hope.
