any updates?
nothing so far, hope u guys get you share of the money back
but dont hope too much, doubt it will happen.
- 850,000 BTC officially "disappeared"
- 200,000 found in "old-format wallet" or 23.5% of total. Mark Karpales says no more will ever be found.
- OKpay and BitOcean propose to repay a proportionate amount + stock.
So, that means if you once had 10 BTC on Mt. Gox, then you'll be getting (10 * .235) 2.35 BTC back from OKpay/BitOcean plus some stock in a revived Mt. Gox under their new management.
Who gets the remainding (10 * .765) 7.65 BTC? Hackers, asset strippers, lawyers?
What if the reason MK is so confident no more bitcoins will ever ever be found is that there were never more than 200,000 BTC there in the first place?
I read that 100k of the 850k are gox coins, and obvious gox cant reclaim those coins, if it is true, then the total max to reclaim is 750k.
Good catch. So, to amend the above example, if there were 750,000 BTC "disappeared" along with 100,000 belonging to Gox, then the proportionate percentage to be distributed to depositors would be 200,000 divided by 750,000 times 100% equals 26.67%,
Hence, if you held originally 10 BTC on Gox, your recovery amount would be 2.667 BTC, or if you use the number 500,000 "found" as the denominator, it will be 40% of your original holdings or 4 BTC.
