Title: How much did you lose?
Post by: go4green on October 06, 2013, 02:44 pm
Hi,

Just a little survey to see what people have lost with SR closed down.

For me, I had 0.003 Bitcoins. I never keep coins in my account. I only get some coins transferred when I want to buy something. And I only transfer what is enough to make a purchase + shipping. Maybe that is what we should do when we move.

I'm only sad that I will have to re-establish myself as a buyer. I was a member for a year with + 50 successful transactions.

What were your stats like?

Had about 2k sitting in escrow.  Doesn't sound like much to some people, but it was damn near all I had.  Vendor account for 1.5 years with 100% rating and a buyer's account with 50+ purchases, about 60k spent  :-\

I already posted this question in poll form here: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=217606.new#new

According to the results, the majority of us (almost 40%) lost between $1 - $100. I personally had about $30 BTC in my account and over $100 in escrow, but I'm not counting that as a loss until I determine whether or not my orders will ever arrive. I believe some of them will as they were marked in transit Monday or Tuesday before the shut down.

I lost 3.5 BTCs. Thankfully, I never buy BTCs unless I'm ready to consider that money gone. Unfortunately, I had no intention of spending those coins in the short term, so I could have kept them in my own wallet instead of here on SR. It was my fault I lost them.

Sorry, didn't see the previous post.
250k and 90k? Wow!

Even 3-5k is a lot for a new vendor! My condolences to those lost their money.
But remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Focus on your next move.. It is NOT the end :)
