Title: 10BTC lost due to mybitcoin not sending
Post by: psychenaut on July 30, 2011, 03:17 pm
I "sent" it and the correct amount was deleted from my account stupidly however I then deleted the textfile that contained the username and password for my account. So now I have made an involuntary 100 pound donation to whoever it is that owns mybitcoin. Sounds to me like those people must be making quite a bit of money from things like this especially seen as though they have absolutely no facility to reset your password. The transaction does not show up on block explorer for my account, unless SR recieved the money and then switched the address on my acc page but for whatever reason didn't add it into escrow. So far I think I can only blame myself for my stupidity and maybe mybitcoin but also warn others, from now on I think I will always use a bitcoin client.
