I agree.
While not bitcoin, I played around with dogecoin for a while (I was tipped about 3000 doge on reddit for a post). Right before Christmas, dogewallet was hacked (where I had transferred my doges to). Some good folk over at reddit band together to work on helping out those of us who were hacked. I create a new wallet, and then submit my info for donation doges.
A week or so later, they send me 3000 doges. I didn't realize until I checked my account (a few days after it was sent) that they had sent them. Here's the interesting part - less than an hour after they had sent it to me, those 3000 doges were immediately withdrawn and sent to another address.
Thankfully, I was playing around with Doge (so the value was all of a dollar fifty), but the entire thing turned me off. If this was bitcoin, or if I had actual money invested, I would have lost my investment TWICE.
I like to think I'm some what technically savvy, but in that moment, I realized I had no clue what the hell had happened. Trying to imagine my parents working with bitcoin...never.
- mgpetkov 13y agoI suggest to scan your computer for viruses, spyware, rootkits ... Today I checked my wallets and they are intact. I also run small mining pool and guess what ... no coins are missing.
