So due to spam, new members must spam Cheesy
But I think the restrictions really are reasonable.

Ten is still a lot before you can post.  Especially when you join for a specific thread or topic.

If you want a quick throwaway wallet use a site like blockchan.info. Not only are your funds in your actual account(not consolidated into some giant wallet), but the private key is never revealed to the server. They could not take your coins even if they wanted to.

This is an excellent site - perfect for what I want.  (Note, it should be blockchain.info)

i sure hope these count as posts because I need to contact the *** at torwallet.net because they have 200+ of my btc locked up in their torwallet in a "Database Error!" on their webpage online wallet!!!!  With no one answering emails or anything... am I just screwed out of my 2k?!!!

I hope they fix their website!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid you have been scammed, my friend.

He has not been scammed.

Please reply to our email with the information requested so we can get this resolved.

All this seems to be right before the current error message is displayed.  I wonder if timmah got his bitcoins back?

I'm the type of asshole who breaks his phones in idiot ways, doesn't remember to pack a charger for my laptop. And in some cases am unable to carry that much shit with me.

For those who ask "Why use such a service" this is my reason.  I do not like being dependent on one bit of kit - while this is fine for some people:

keeping a local wallet, encrypted and archived when not in use, on a clean PC, cant go wrong!  Wink

It's not what I want to rely on.  That said, I wouldn't trust any current bitcoin web site with large amounts of funds.  I've lost £30 with TORwallet, it won't break the bank.  Still, it is important to raise awareness of sites with issues, hence I started this thread.

It sounds like they just ran out of funds in their hot wallet. I'd give them a bit to transfer from cold storage before pulling the scammer trigger.

Appears to have been going on for at least four days, no answers to emails (mine included).  Isn't looking good for them - 500+ posts on this board seems to be their credibility.  Glad I never transfer more than I am willing to lose.

Hey everyone, we're setting up a new service and got stuck in the newbie jail again...

You deserve to be in jail if you don't sort out your website and allow people to withdraw their bitcoins.

Get the following message when trying to transfer bitcoins out:

"Hot wallet exhausted. Please wait while we move coins in from our offline wallet."

Is this site a scam?  The user is on here as "TORwallet" but as a newbie I cannot message them.

Jase.
