Hi to all,
I've bought a yr ago few btc on mtgox and I've forget them. Now I read that mtgox is gone. I suppose my few btcs are gone too. Right? If so if I only created a paper wallet now do I would have something still valuable in my hands?
Tnx

With this paper wallet, did you withdraw coins from MtGox into this wallet's address?

The paper wallet looking like this:

1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and 5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, the former being the public key which is where you withdraw BTC to from MtGox, and the latter being the private key (MUST keep hidden from prying eyes), marked as X but are just random numbers/letters.

If you didn't use withdraw function at MtGox, then they're gone forever, as MtGox has shut it's doors, probably forever.

It would be nice if someone could really find out the truth as to what happened to this BTC, but no one will ever know...unless it's leaked somehow. The common sense in this matter is, the BTC were NOT likely lost forever, and far likely STOLEN.
