Re: A Non-Custodial wallet, Atomic Wallet, being compromised
They made an update to June 3rd Event Statement the other say.
Still says 'not our fault, looking in to it'
I would be interested to find out what math they used exactly to calculate that only 0.1% atomic users got affected by this issue Still says 'not our fault, looking in to it'
In best case this can only be people who contacted them and reported loss of coins with transactions they didnt make, and nobody knows how many people never contacted atomic amateurs.
New statement can be used for bitcoin wallet: not open source, not your coins.
Simple - count users that filled out the online theft form they provided. I filled one. Not sure it's still up.
Re: A Non-Custodial wallet, Atomic Wallet, being compromised
It's sad news, we thought that using a non-custodial wallet is safe, in fact, there's no really safe over the internet.
Just wanted to know now how much worth was being stolen by hackers, I saw comments on Twitter, other wallets are fine and some are drained out I start thinking now of what version of the wallet and what software they use.
I think should also be visible in the Beginners and Help section to warn newbies out there and start importing their wallets to those who are not yet affected. Transferring their fund by importing the 12 words into other wallets like Electrum might be a good step or any wallets that support importing BIP39 seed phrases.

About $100m lost total. Some users lost millions. I lost $270k.
Why people keep saying open source is safer? When was the last time any of you have taken a time and go search for security bugs in any open source project? Nobody pays for such activity. On the other hand, malicious actors have huge monetary incentives to pour over open source code and find ways to steal coins. Quite possibly Atomic theft code is hiding in some open source Javascript library they inadvertently imported into their Electron app.
Re: A Non-Custodial wallet, Atomic Wallet, being compromised
Less than 1%!! Really?
How do they determine if the users were less than 1%. Why don't they value what has been drain in monetary terms instead of stupid percentages.

They are probably counting every user who has ever opened the Atomic Wallet app which will also include a significant amount of no-coiners, and also zombies which have never touched their funds for several months. So most likely the actual percentage of hacked active users is probably much higher (like at least 5%).
I have several wallets, they took largest amounts first, and still didn't take small change amounts (2000 USDT), guess their bandwidth is limited (doing it manually?).

But they use something "nonstandard derivation" for non-BTC coins and I haven't been able to import the seed into other wallets (Exodus, Trust wallet). I had quite a bit of USDT-TRX on it, as a hedge against Bitcoin volatility in my retirement years

Re: $3.6 billion in Bitcoin seized from Crocodile of Wall Street
"When the police got the search warrant, they managed to find the private keys" - I wonder where they kept their keys?
Were the keys in Heather's makeup bag? (ironic)
Just having such possessions and not taking care to make it impossible to find the keys seems a bit silly and weird. I don't side with the criminals, but logically, the first thing the criminals do is go to great lengths to make sure the police can't get their hands on the keys. In another case, it can be assumed that pressure was exerted on them, opening all places where the keys were not hidden.

Looks like the keys were in an encrypted file in Google drive. FBI was able to decrypt the file. Could have installed a keylogger in Ilya's computer to get the password or something like that.

Are Bitfinex users going to get a refund?
They already got their refund. Bitfinex repaid entire stolen amount out of their trading profits.

So they are just in connections with the hackers and they are in charge of making the money clean and not traceable, right?
There isn't anything in the document that indicates that anyone else was involved. They just went for the arrest warrant for money laundering because this is what they can prove now - Ilya lied about source of funds in his emails to banks and cryptoexchanges. They will get to the hacking point while he sits in jail.
So I resolved the issue in this way:
1) Waited until the tx cleared from all mempools around the internet. blockcypher.com is handy for keeping track of that.
2) Now the tx is only in my local bitcoind's mempool. Stopped lightningd and bitcoind, deleted mempool.dat and restarted.
3) Issued "lightning-cli dev-rescan-outputs" command and now coins are back!

I issued a withdraw command with low fee, and the transaction was broadcasted, but miners didn't include it in blocks. Now it can't be found in mempools anywhere. But I can't withdraw again with a higher fee, it gives me error 301 - the coins have been marked as "spent". The question is how to salvage the coins.

specifically, "withdraw" command doesn't work for me
I will never understand why any bitcoiner would be fearful of ethereum or vice-versa. Is just 2 different blockchains with way many differences that makes them both valuable.
I'll explain it so you understand. The most significant promise of Bitcoin as a value store is that it's supply is limited - 21M bitcoins. Proliferation of alts breaks that promise. Now there are 21M bitocins, plus 90M ethereums, plus miriads of other cryptos.
I lost 221 BTG to these scammers, worth ~$100k at the time, nearly worthless now.
Here is a tx https://btgexplorer.com/tx/9202e037c052a48fac2f7d10e58bb41d5dc0e0bced00d009740e9014b7479471
Was supposed to get ~11 BTC back, never received.

.Bitgold official twitter account @bitcoingold endorsed (retweeted) them. That's the only reason I trusted them. Mistake cost me $100k
