Instawallet, addresses and missing bitcoins oh my

As some of you may have noticed all of the my temp intawallet addresses have been redacted and a catch all address added as an update. The reason for this is instawallet was hacked not so long ago, after said hacking this was posted. A notice of discontinued service, luckily most of my bitcoins were secured elsewhere. There were some very small amounts that I will be placing claims for as soon as they open the claims process. Lesson learned, no receiving wallet will be left unchecked for more than a day.

We have been as careful as a human can be, and so far we have been lucky on top of that. For as long as this blogs been up, as long as we have been accepting bitcoins, this is the first time even a small amount of coin has been lost. So I count my self fortunate to have learned this lesson with a very small amount, the easy road isn't always the safest!


If your going to use an online wallet always do so with two factor authentication.

END OF PSA

now for some titts!!
