In my mind, it's 'either or' - either I get my bitcoins back, or bips.me takes their website down and opens up under a completely new name. But not both.
With this in mind, I'm seeking out other 'whales' - people who lost significant numbers of bitcoin on bips.me. If there's enough of us, what we do is get together and hire a lawyer in Denmark, and start from there. It will be worth it.
Here is a signup form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1v8AL3scMErzSLPRSOhGuGXn9pzHjWNTrSE2YWEQIpxs/viewformI am the first person to sign up, with my 90 missing bitcoins.
If nobody else signs up, or if the total number of signups doesn't add up to more than 250 bitcoins, I'll give up.
Also. I very much doubt that this was an 'inside job' or some kind of fraud. Danish people don't do those sorts of things. They just don't.
Goddamn right. Even if they actually did get hacked (which I'm not willing to accept without proof), the security of their site was nothing like they advertised. I'd bet they won't give technical details on the hack because it would reveal negligence.
Also. I very much doubt that this was an 'inside job' or some kind of fraud. Danish people don't do those sorts of things. They just don't. However, that doesn't mean that these guys shouldn't have to start from scratch again.
May be doubtful, but I'm not willing to walk away from my BTC on the strength of a cultural stereotype. Prove it or I'm assuming they stole it. No offence, but I think any other affected users would be foolish to take any other stance.
