Hey brothers and sisters,
These have been a painful few weeks. I'm sure some of you are worried about the multisig funds you had tied up on Hansa. I have done some analysis on the downloadable signed locktime transaction xlsx files I downloaded before the site went down and will share my findings here.
My file does not appear to attempt to call home. When run in a quarantined environment (libreoffice on fedora) my packet sniffer picked up nothing at all. If someone such as /u/Ethereality_DNM (I have reached out to you) wants to verify this they're more than welcome. LE already has all the transaction information so what does it matter? ;)
The time-locked transactions appear to be valid and the withdrawal address is the same as the address I had set myself on Hansa. LE have not edited anything so in October the funds will still be unlocked to vendors. Let's hope for a massive bitcoin price rally between now and October! :D
If you want to verify the timelocks for yourself I suggest you wait for confirmation from someone else that the files are safe as it's been many years since I've done this sort of analysis. Even then I'd recommend opening the file in a quarantined environment, copying the information to a CSV file (time order placed, bitcoin amount, timelock script columns are all you need), then sending the file to another environment before handling the data.
Anyway, then go to coinb.in (use the onion if possible), click verify at the top, paste the information from a cell and see what comes up. You should see:
- The transaction has already been signed by 1 party (Hansa)
- The transaction is time-locked until October
- The address is still yours
- The Txids (with 1 sig only) can be verified as being broadcast already using the block explorer of your choice
Come October you just need to paste the info from each cell (one at a time although there may be a way to speed it up) into coinb.in's sign page and sign each one with your private key. Then broadcast them and the funds should appear in your wallet. I suggest you do all of this via the coinb.in onion site.
I hope that's a small comfort to some of you. Please don't get greedy, there are 3 months before the funds are going to become available so plan on how you're going to safely gain access to them and transfer them elsewhere.
Much love

Just a heads up. The Seized bitcoin were from orders from the 17th-20th. You can verify them on coinb, and then paste the ID on blockchain - coins moved to a wallet with 1500 bitcoin. The bitcoin from BEFORE that hasn't been touched, and because bitcoin was processing no issues before that, vendors should be able to pull that out. During those 3 days they switched out the buyers key with there own + the markets, and then refunded the bitcoin to there own wallet. Before that it was still market/vendor/buyer, so you'll have no issues there. Amazing that not 1 vendor verified the script and caught the public keys were not matching during the last 3 days. I'm guilty of this as well, but damn.
