I'm glad I only put in a few bitcoins, I knew there was a risk with it being anonymous.

Can someone explain how the coins have not even moved from the address?  If they are "running away with the coins,"  how are the coins still in the wallet and have not moved? 

You know, after reading some of the scam threads, I wonder if they could be cooperating with an investigation and not letting anything go out.  Are they not allowed to talk about an ensuing investigation?  

I know I'm probably grasping at straws, but it's just a thought.

Maybe the admins are the ones behind it.

Agreed.  As well as an explanation.

I think there is something fishy with all of Bitcoin.  I won't be indulging anymore.  Thought it was a cool idea and novel, but I have no reason to trust any exchange or anyone anymore, it's too easy to scam people and I can't afford to lose money just to use a novelty currency.

Edit :  No offense to everyone involved, just the bad ones.  I know there are good people that partake in BTC as well.

They're probably milking it for all it's worth at this point by not responding, and taking advantage of people that have heard of or used the service before successfully.  They need a scammer tag, so that people smart enough to do a search of their name can see they're scamming before they deposit their coins.

TORwallet : "You probably want to know why you should trust us. Our answer is don't. Only deposit as many coins as you are willing to lose while we build trust in the community."

Glad I only put a very small amount in there on Monday evening.  Still can't get them out.  So, how long before they're officially a scammer?

Have you tried accessing your wallet lately?  Mine is still there and still has my bitcoin in there.  That's what's strange, if they were going to run away with it wouldn't it be gone or deleted?  Maybe they're in the hospital.  Any number of things could be wrong.  I'm just surprised more people haven't posted anything.  Maybe it's just us few fools who have used it recently.

Going by one of those threads, it looks like someone may have found the physical location of their server.  -_-

I'm having the same issue.  I have sent them a PM on this site as well as an email to their address at torwallet@tormail.org and have not received any responses.  The service was fine the last time I used it after I had checked to see if there was anything "scammy" about it, so I just assumed it would be okay just to use it as a quick intermediary.  Boy, was I wrong.  Not sure what the previous poster meant by "fools."  Let's face it, the nature of Bitcoin is that at any time during an exchange or transaction, anyone can walk away with your money and there's not much you can do.  The government sure isn't going to help you, because they want Bitcoin gone anyway.  Are all Bitcoin users fools then?  It's not like I put my life savings into Torwallet, it was a relatively small amount, thankfully, but enough to be annoying that it is stuck there.

Is there anyway we can import that address into our Blockchain wallet and release the coins from there? Or do they own the secret phrase for that address?

You'd think they could put up a note on their site that says they are having issues and that you will or may not be able to get your coins out right away after moving them in.  The silence is what is the most disconcerting.  

You could try the FAQ at the Bitcoin Wiki to start with at :  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ

Then you can google Bitcoin.  I don't know off-hand of a good place to start that doesn't have a lot of extraneous information.

Understandable and fair.  Spammers are beyond annoying.  Good job.

I really love the idea of a brain wallet.  So, if your computer is destroyed, the only evidence the bitcoins belong to the address you had in your wallet is through the blockchain?  So, you don't really need a physical location for your bitcoins? 

I really want to try these guys for my next purchase.  They seem legit and it's a good deal.

I've tried some of these and most seem more of a hassle than they're worth.

I'm having the same problem.  I have used them before as an intermediary with no problems.  I've seen nothing to indicate TORwallet is a scam site either.  People want to say we're fools for putting bitcoin into another person's hands, but at the same time they promote Instawallet and other online wallets?  Instawallet is not "in your hands" either, Mt. Gox is not in your hands.  The fact is, the very nature of Bitcoin allows for someone to just walk away with your money.  So, I guess all Bitcoin users are fools, eh?

Hi all.  I'm pretty much a newbie.  I just started learning about BTC the other day and I'm very intrigued.  Glad to be here.
