I lost a LOT more than .5 bitcoins. As far as I'm concerned, anyone using mybitcoin.com deserves to get ripped off after all of this bad publicity. The site is a scam.
All you say is that you "lost a lot more than .5bitcoins", but you never give details. That doesn't help your credibility, especially after I don't know how many people asked you to say HOW MUCH you lost.
For now you are just ONE MORE troll, like so many around here that scream scam at the first sign of trouble...
EDIT: Just found this in the Newbies board
Hi, I actually wanted to reply to this thread :
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=26224.60 to say that I have also had a coin disappear at Mybitcoin, but as I don't post on the forum much, I'm limited to the newbie section (if someone could move or quote this over there that would be good). I pulled all my coins out of mybitcoin when I noticed the missing coin, but I still have access to my account, and I correctly received mining payouts both before and after the missing coin (I didn't catch it immediately). The coin shows up in the block explorer here:
http://blockexplorer.com/address/1HgDuxLfG3E4kkN5VkToxeFPDN2aWBTjPz . It's easy to spot as it's the 1.01 coin one as opposed to an even 1.00. So, I know that the pool payed out on time to the correct address, but my mybitcoin account balance did not increase. I can't really prove it to the general public, but there is no record of the coin ever arriving at mybitcoin, so it's not a case of my account being compromised by a third party. That should be easily verifiable by someone at mybitcoin. I've sent two support tickets using the messaging system in Mybitcoin with the latter containing all of the information above. It should be an open and shut case, but I have not gotten any response, and it's been almost 2 weeks since the coin should have arrived and about a week since I messaged support.
Has anyone else had problems with coins disappearing at Mybitcoin or any luck actually getting support?
Now, this is how non-trolls complaint: THEY GIVE DETAILS. Learn from it lettucebee. And before you ask, yes, i did read your thread...
You and others have demanded more specifics from me, which would satisfy your curiousity, I suppose, but I don't know yet what I gain from attaching myself to a block chain address. I've been going through a lot of hassle cleaning up my various accounts after the Mt Gox fiasco (from which I learned a lot about account discipline, anonymity, and trust).
Thanks for pointing out the above thread. I'll see how being specific worked for Alrecenk. If your complaint is something like "it's not fair to say bad things about mybitcoin without backing it up with specific evidence" that's fair enough; Bitmole has already chewed me out for that. If I thought putting out that kind of information would help me get my money back, I would do it. But if it doesn't help me get my money back all I will have done is be compromised yet again. Is this unfair to mybitcoin? Perhaps, but if we're talking about fairness they can start by responding to my requests.
But I ask you, where is mybitcoin in this debate? I welcome Tom Williams, or whoever he is, to come here and accuse me directly of slander and libel. Does anyone believe he is so busy running his site in his basement that he hasn't heard a peep about all of the bad press he is getting on the #1 bitcoin forum? The only people who defend mybitcoin appear to be techies who don't like to see a fellow business mis-treated. But if any of you treated your customers the way mybitcoin has you'd deserve complaints too. I have been honest about what has happened to me. I'm just somebody who got interested in bitcoin and bought some. I didn't ask to get ripped off. Don't you find it odd and more than a little unsettling that a business who would presumably care about its reputation among this TINY community of bitcoin users sits in stony silence as one person after another comes forward to complain about the same shortcomings? Why would you ignore the pattern? Why are you and bitmole so vociferous in your support of mybitcoin?
Just for fun, I'm going to go over to my email and my alternate mybitcoin account to see if I've heard from the mysterious--and apparently well-loved pirate, Tom Williams--to see if he's responded to my pleas. I've been doing this nearly every day for weeks.
