Well I’m back, you probably remember me from starting Bitcoin7.com which was the first Bitcoin exchange ever to exist that didn’t turn out to be a complete scam.

Not a complete scam you say, so 5000 BTC disappeared by some inexplicable miracle? If it's really you, then you have the wrong idea that people have forgotten your dirty work, history has remembered you as a scammer.

The exchange now appears to be for sale:

Here's a snapshot of how it looked before:

Here's it advertised for sale on flippa.com
https://flippa.com/2999232-bitcoin-exchange-ready-to-launch-immediately-multi-currency-14-languages

Considering the very shady history of this exchange, anyone wanting to buy it should really do a code review.

As you know, much of the text on the exchange was blatantly ripped directly off Tradehill at the time

They claim that the 5K BTC stolen was not because of site being compromized, but an insider job.

So to me this looks very shady, both the unethical action about copying text directly off the Tradehill website, and the theft of these bitcoins.

Not saying this is a basket of rotten eggs, but some code review would be wise..

Edit: Perhaps move this to service discussion forum as well.
 



You wouldn't be here if you had 22 BTC.  Cheesy

You'd be off buying Yachts and Mansions and Bugatis etc.

Speaking of Bugatti, they say the cheapest model costs about $1.7 million, and 22 BTC = $1.32 million - not to mention how much a luxury yacht or villa in a luxury location costs. While it seems like a lot, 22 BTC is not a fortune that has the same value anywhere in the world.
