    Anyone ever had their bitcoin stolen

    By that virus that replaces the address with a bogus one when you copy and paste?

    Never seen anyone slip on water at WAL-MART but did recently see a 70-something year old lady get trucked with one of those aluminum carts they use to stock product. Poor lady probably had some bones cracked. She yelled like if she got shot!

    I bought 30 coins when they were worth about 30 each and they were hacked. I'd like to think i would've held onto them all and cashed out a millionaire but i prob would've sold majority early. But that always pissed me off when they started to take off. I was scared to get back in the water when they were at like 1000 and i still believed in them. It used to be the wild wild west. fackers

    Scary if true. Bitcoin transfers have been smooth here so far.

    I'd venture to say if you see the original address before the copy and paste, you can then clearly see it has been changed then after and during the pasting faze.. I think I'd catch the numbers being changed and back off then..

    I had someone at Nitrogen steal my bitcoins. I opened a complaint here at SBR and Nitrogen gave the IP address of the withdrawal but refused to do anything else. Nothing I could do since I couldn't prove it wasn't me who withdrew the bitcoins.

    There are others on reddit who have had the same thing done to them. Someone at Nitrogen is able to see passwords and withdraw coins.

    I thought Nitrogen had a better policy in regards to matching IP addresses? Has to be a better protocol than just logging in... and sending the Bitcoin to someone 1000+ miles away from original IP login?

    I had one transaction taken, luckily it was small $150. I've since dumped that wallet and am super careful to check every last digit. I'm now using bitpay wallet / card and cash app.

    I had used a VPN from time to time so I didn't use the same IP address every time I logged in.

    Use 2FA at Nitrogen. All books should have 2FA.
