- massaman_yams 8y agoThe MtGox database was hacked and leaked in 2014, including balance info. It's available here: https://archive.org/details/MtGox2014Leak https://archive.org/details/MtGox2014Leak DO NOT USE THE EXECUTABLE IN /backoffice/Bin/TibanneBackOffice.zip - IT IS MALWARE Unzip /backoffice/Exports/mtgox_balances.zip. Your user ID is a UUID, and can be obtained from your Mt.Gox account creation email, from the account confirmation link (example, sanitized) ht_ps://mtgox.com/signup/validate?ID=1111aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeffffff&Code=1234567890123456 Search or grep for this UUID in the unzipped mtgox_balances file and you should have values for BTC and your primary currency. Divide these values by 100000000 to get actual amounts. The 'stamp' column appears to be a timestamp of last update of these values, and the last date in this leak with significant activity is 2014-02-25.
- nodesocket 8y agoIt's a little absurd a leak itself is infected with malware and malicious intent. The current state of Bitcoin and cryto is litterally filled with pirates and thives. I've personally been burnt for a decent amount and I am very tech savvy. Can you imagine your parents trying to navigate the cryto environment?
- massaman_yams 8y agoYep. Not viable for people like that unless and until an exchange has the same protections and guarantees they expect from a traditional bank.
- donovanh 8y agoAmazing! I found my purchase and the exact amount of BTC I was holding. It's not massive but feels great to get some closure on this.
