Hmm , we'll you guys know my riches to rags story.  Learn from it.  Don't put your wallets in  windows.

Guys, I believe I figure out the issue.

I had Armory wallet installed to protect my bitcoins ... it appears Armory wallet has installed some virus on my computer.   Here are viruses I have found all in my Armory wallet data folders.

Murphy, oropax, syslock, diskspoiler, prtscr 1024, attention.


Armory wallet F'd me up my brothers.   Damn, bastards!!   

So figured the issue could have been a virus ... maybe.   But my funds are long gone.

And this is why a hardware device approving all transactions is a must. Something like Trezor or even if it is just a phone app to perform the digital signatures. Desktops are so easy to hack. Mind telling us what operating system you use. Running a Linux machine might be safer and building everything from code instead of downloading unsafe executables.

I am using Windows.  It appears my BitsharesX wallet was compromised .. that would be the only way they got the private keys for my Protoshares and Bitshares at the same time.  Each wallet I had on my computer was secured with password,  and no one knows my password except me.

I'm not finding any viruses on my computer

Does bitshares take away your money if you don't vote?

My BitsharesX wallet was compromised housing all of my PTS and BTC keys.  My wallet was encrypted, but it did not matter.   This gave the attacker access to AGS shares, and all shares of the DACs I owned.  They have all been stolen.

- compromised.

There is currently an ongoing effort to increase Bitshares wallet security , since this type of incident is a threat to mainstream adoption for Bitshares.  Also, there is an effort for members in the community out of generosity to donate to their fellow  brother ( me educatedwarrior) to help recoup stolen funds.   

In order to keep track of all the work going on for short term and long term solutions to increase wallet security, and support to help recoup educatedwarriors losses; action items announced in this tread a listed below.  We hope this incident can be used for better protocols to be established in order to make our bitshares investments more secure and ensure mainstream adoption.

NEXT ACTIONS
None

ONGOING
educatedwarrior accepting donations at BTSX: codeblooded    (thanks in advance for donations to help me recoup my stolen funds. )
  ------Ex.  2000 PTS divided with our active 200 members is 10 pts for each donation, with current price x $1.7 = $17 bitUSD

WAITING FOR
Confirmation that YubiKey integration may be added into wallets (bytemaster)
Contact Trezor contacts to talk about possible integration with Bitshares wallets. ( cass)
Vesting AGS will probably eventually have to have a key update feature  (toast)


COMPLETE
11/16/2014 Post spreadsheet  or website of donations received for public review.
11/5/2014 EducatedWarrior took Liondani's recommendation and purchased YubiKee and is using with it with password manager and generator KeePass. Excellent increase in security.
    --- wallet now secure with 256 bit password
11/3/2014 Liondani recommended Short term solution -- use YubiKey with password manager like KeePass or LastPass
11/2/2014 Various members posed questions for forensic investigation (werneo , )

Were you successful in importing your private address?

If you were, it may be that your wallet is not in sync.  At the console, type  "info   " and type enter.  Look out for "blockchain_head_block_age". It should be a few seconds only.  This means the blockchain is in sync.  If you still cannot find your balance, at the console type "wallet_rescan_blockchain ".  This rescanning process takes some time. You can check progress with command "info   ". 

If the above works for you, please donate some fund to ID: freekeyid  or ID: bitcube.  They are the primary and backup freekeyid faucets for new users. Please vote for delegates freekeyid and bitcube. Thank you!

Hi Cube.
I see "Blocks are synced" message.   I'm able to see my balance so that is not an issue.  I ran "wallet_rescan_blockchain" to see if that would fix, but it did not.

Still when I import my private key for my BTC address that donated to AGS, I am not getting any rewards.  Also not getting rewards for Protoshares I held in my wallet during the snapshot... but I'll worry about that later.  I am only getting rewards for PTS I donated to AGS.  So in summary only 1 out of 3 rewards is working for me.


Is there way to check if a claim has already been made from my private address?    Just in case some one stole my reward and got my private key some kind of way.

..
back up the account to a .dat file?
that worked
now importing it into the keyid client… seems import wallet in the tabs does not work?
does the complete blockchain has to be downloaded first before I can import?

best regards

On second thought, it is easier for a new user to import the PTS wallet.dat (ie ignore the dump-pts-key step).  You do not need to wait for the blockchain to sync before importing. The balance will show up after the blockchain is synced.

How do I import the wallet.dat file into the keyid client?
