Hi guys,

I used bitcoin-qt as my bitcoin wallet and I forgot to setup a password Sad

So today I checked my wallet and a very small amount of bitcoins were stolen:

https://blockchain.info/de/address/1CPEdjFu6TaZpPFGQ81zHaW7prtJ1pk8LV

Is there any chance I get these BTC back? Or do I have to pay to learn the lesson?

After that, I moved to multibit and saved it on several USB-Sticks with a strong password using KeyPass obfuscating. Is there anything else I have to take care of?

Thx for your help!

Regards

Mix it and send to a complete different address stored on a USB stick. There is no way you will get your money back unless the thief sends it back for some reason.

Mixing it doesn't improve the security, mixing only increase the privacy. OP, I suggest you to create a cold storage paper wallet using a offline linux computer and bitaddress.org.
