YOU BETTER SOMEHOW RETRIEVE THE DB FROM THE HACKER OR THIS IS GOING TO END UP IN DISASTER!
It's not a disaster already?
I mean insolvency style disaster. 18.5k BTC is nothing.
What are they going to do if (and it is not really "if" when it comes to money, people will do it if they can get away with it) there are a few hundred cunning people like me who thought the same on 20th of May? Read my IRC log.
What are they going to do once the deposit claims total 500k BTC, most of them being from 100+ points users?
There are only so many funds, and the fight over them is ON.
Better find a way to retrieve the database before they go broke, no?
We have all kinds of accounting reports. They are outdated and incomplete to restore trading, but far current enough to identify fake claims.
Tihan is a careful person and he keeps all the logs when he runs his stats program.
Submitting false claims will only result in delay of fund returns. The point system I proposed is used to save time and effort for people with accurate records. There isn't any reason to verify people with verified Bitcoinica account and only 1 BTC balance (and our record proves so). We should just refund the customer in full immediately.
The claim process involves subjective judgements, and that's why I request for take-over. I'm obviously more familiar with the user base and I should provide as much assistance as I can.
I have requested again for takeover in the Skype group and provided my working plan. If they approve within 8 hours from now I'll probably start refunding customers by early next week and finish by the end of next week.
