TorWallet is up, and accepting coins from new customers, and accepting coins from old customers ( on Tor ).

Any Canadians reading this?
 
It may be time to contact the Canadian equivalent of a DA or Attorney General. ( Microtronix/JFreak53 knows or should know who they are. )

' JFreak53@microtronix-tech.com ' keeps asking for more proof and documnetation and 'supporting evidence' .   Somehow he is not able to  google for the evidence  .

And TorWallet is still up and accepting new deposits.

And all along, Microtronix/JFreak53 is advertising their services of hosting bitcoins on 2 servers ( see :
 http://www.microthosting.com/  and   http://www.microthosting.com/bitcoin-servers.html  .)

Unless the Canadian authorities get involved, the coins in TorWallet are probably lost.

This suggests that something has happened to the owner of the site and he is not able to mind the business.

Interesting to see what more experienced users think about this puzzle.

Since June 2012, Torwallet has been accepting bitcoins for storage and mixing / washing.
And they still open new accounts and accept coins from new and repeat users.
But many people complained about not being able to withdraw their coins (apparently since Sep.2012).

On this forum Torwallet is labelled as a scammer.
   
Talking about Torwallet on another post, Stephen Gornick  says that 'The registrar is Microtronix, a vendor that takes bitcoin, so they should be able to justify complying with a takedown.'

Microtronix is a Canadian company, in business for over 20 years.  They also have a webhosting service :  http://www.microthosting.com/   tel given: (419) 972-1746 .
This in turn provides 'Bitcoin Servers'  :   http://www.microthosting.com/bitcoin-servers.html  .

And I quote some of their 'services':
'Lastly, the wallet.dat file is YOURS, it is yours alone and we have zero rights to the file.  Since this is not a community wallet service we don't own your wallets!  What you are buying from us is hosting basically, this falls under our typical terms of service, and all files contained in your user directory are YOURS and yours alone.  No more worrying if an online wallet site steals your coins, THEIR YOURS, you own them, you own the wallet. '

'The cost of this service is $5.26 a month, ONLY!  We manage all services on the server and all security. When you purchase we automatically generate a certificate for your client also.  All is managed at this low monthly cost.
Backing up your wallet:
We also offer full backup services for your wallet.  For the low monthly cost of $3.50 per 10GB of space we backup your wallet for YOU! You get a $0.50 discount on the normal backup prices since you own this wallet service.'

I have but quoted  ( including capitalization  and exclamation signs ) for the benefit of all interested parties.   I don't understand why one would pay $105/year but maybe some people/companies consider this a bargain.

 And I don't know if they have anything to do with Torwallet . But again, Stephen Gornick reported that Microtronix maybe hosting Torwallet. Yet it is possible that they only provide  'Bitcoin Servers', as mentioned above.

As to TorWallet, it is not impossible that the owner has had some kind of accident and is unable to watch the site.  And the machine continues to behave as initially programmed without removing the coins on deposit. Or some twisted mind is very sure of his nefarious abilities and wants to get out every bit.

I was curious and looked up Synaptic which shows that it has ' bitcoind 0.3.24.. ' for download.  It also has Electrum but no other Bitcoin.

So I don't understand it, and hope that you'll solve your problem eventually.

If you have a folder  'bitcoin-0.7.0-linux'  that means that you have successfully downloaded and extracted the 0.7 version. Click on that folder -->bin-->32 (or 64 if yours is 64)-->bitcoin-qt
Voila: clicking on bitcoin-qt will start bitcoin.

To put an icon on the Desktop:
' sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel '
and then: 
'  gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new '

In the poppup you have to name the new folder (I suppose Bitcoin) and enter the command on the proper line which is the path to your   folder -->bin-->32 (or 64 if yours is 64)-->bitcoin-qt

And Daily one , minimizing to the side launcher and bringing it back should also work. When you bring it back you have to move the cursor all the way to the top and you can chose from 'Files , Settings and Help' .

Minimize your Bitcoin screen and when you bring it back your toolbar will show up (appears to be a bug in Ubuntu).

When you have your toolbar, click on Help-->Debug Wallet-->Information (also Console available for your Terminal commands since you appear to like commands!).

Hope this helps Oh Daily one!

Use google to check on the branches of the banks in question.
I would be surprised if you did not find banks within the mentioned range.

that used to be true at any time. but nowadays your wallet can be encrypted which makes it more difficult (but obviuosly not impossible)

the way i understand it, it is going a be difficult to find somebody willing to accept Paypal and send yo bitcoins (PP can be reversed while BTC cannot).

will try this

but sadly, 0.0001/day is not that much...

all this is very interesting

will have to learn more about it

my name is vagab

intend to stick around
