OK, how much good faith are you willing to extend to them?  If another week goes by and we still haven't heard anything from the MyBitcoin people, then you admit that it was a scam?  Or are we just supposed to extend unlimited good faith and wait indefinitely?

I had some bitcoins there. All of my store's operational budget. Also I will admit we were scammed. How much time passed so far with mybitcoin down?

So, you have reason to want the impossible to be true.

100% agreed.



Even if all turns out to be some kind of big misunderstanding in the end: a service holding bitcoins in the tens or even hundreds of thousands of bitcoins for thousands of users simply cannot be left unattended for a period of three days. If nothing else, the owners of mybitcoin are unprofessional and careless, which invalidates their service for further use.

The only reasonable thing for everyone to do, if they come back is: get your bitcoins the hell outta there!

Threads with these types of titles should bring more to the table.  By saying they are not thieves, it implies you have some sort of evidence that suggest they are legit.  Clearly you don't.  Why not just post this in one of the many other threads on this subject? 

Yeah, 8 hours is too long for a service this size to be without communication... anyone still holding out hope they'll come back might as well hope for the second coming of jesus instead.

Online "companies" are the same as missing kids - if you don't hear anything in 48 hours, start the grieving process.

have any of your coins moved?

so far cant find anyone who has.

and of course not too many people were concerned about the communication problem until the site went down.

They have never been really active here

yet people threw a ton of coin on it.

the site was totally free wasnt it..total free tnds to be slang for little to no customer support.

I still think this will probably end up with some stupid kid who left town and just doesnt know his site is down.

I think it highlights though some of the issues with putting something of value on such a crude site. And he will probably learn a big lesson if he did walk away. I personally cant see having site with the money and traffic of mybitcoin and not be constantly monitoring it no matter where I was.

But the best thing in ya'lls favor is I dont think any of the coins have moved, unless one of you can challenge this statement

if you do a whois search on mybitcoin.com you'll see that the server was hosted at leaseweb.
Someone should contact them to try end get some contact info or at least tell them to make a backup of the logs, an dpossibly the database if people need proof later on.

1 man.
