Hi everyone!

I'm new here and found this place after researching transaction 5f3720dd75ea36efed2bffd7bc136dc8556e600d6cc94f2a82c38880e0d02b64.

On a certain day (which I honestly don't remember), I accessed bitaddress.org to generate a wallet for my godson. I'm a tech person, so I took every precaution when accessing the site (Mac/Safari or Chrome), generating the document, and even when printing it. I chose to take my laptop to the printer and connected it via a USB cable (I've worked with printer drivers for years).

I had saved the address 1EXkmyQEtNL351Q9ovUsCvsDTYtx4hVgCf to check the balance using the BlueWallet app, to see how my godson's savings were doing. Tonight, when I accessed the website, I was shocked! The funds had been moved. I immediately spoke to my godson's father, who confirmed that the funds hadn't been moved by him and that the paper was safely stored in a vault, as I had given it to him.

I can't stop thinking about where I went wrong in this process.

If you're looking for assistance you might want to start a new thread. Not that someone won't respond to this post but with a new thread some of the more experienced members will see the new thread and might be more likely to respond.

I still don't know how I had 8 of these coins and NONE of them were swept. I swept all 4 of the 0.01 btc denomination coins and left the other 4 coins that are loaded with 0.001 alone and they are still loaded,  weird.

Does anyone know how many of the "lost coin series"  0.001 btc coins are still loaded ?  ty

According to Collectible Money, 16 are still funded.

Item 019 from series Rarity Check Lost Coin Series V1 Alloy has been redeemed on 2024-08-07 18:50:58 UTC, worth 0.001 BTC (54.85 USD).

First funded on 2023-09-21 03:30:24 UTC, this item held it's value for 10 months, 21 days, 15 hours.

There are 183 unfunded, 16 funded, and 1 redeemed items in this series now, worth 0.016 BTC (877.61 USD).

The Lost Coin Series has two variants -  Silver and Alloy.

Rarity Check Lost Coin Series V1 Alloy has 16 unredeemed, 1 redeemed, and 183 unfunded (thanks 2stout!).
Rarity Check Lost Coin Series V1 Silver has 5 unredeemed, 4 redeemed, and 91 unfunded.

For VIBGYOR series, there are still 8 unredeemed Gilded and 15 unredeemed Silver worth 0.044BTC and 0.015BTC respectively.

If you hold an intact, funded VIBGYOR coin or know someone who does, please make sure it is peeled and redeemed. Based on what we know about the keygen compromise so far, funds being stolen from this is a matter of WHEN, not IF. Leaving those coins funded is akin to sending a time-delayed donation to the people behind the bad keygen.

Thank you for the datapoint.

If you're certain you used bitaddress and not walletgenerator, my sense is that both you and raritycheck ended up on fake sites of the respective generators, which were compromised.

If you generated any other wallets using this same method, I would suggest sweeping them immediately.

2 lost coins should show as redeemed.

For silver or alloy?

Just manually checked all remaining addresses that show funded for both series, and mempool.space shows them as funded still as well.

Would be great to see addresses/txids to rule out a case where a redeemed coin has a different address than the one published on the RC site.

I'm amazed at the speed of which notification and publishing of activity took place.

Is there a way to set up alerts for transactions/movement on personal public addresses so that you're instantly notified if something is happening with one of your coins?

I'd like to set something up so I get an alert on my phone jic.

Thanks

✂️
If you hodl any items from RC, I would encourage you to join the public telegram channel, or run "/subscribe https://collectible.money/creator/raritycheck" via the collectible money bot to receive updates when any RC items are peeled

For items in the collectibles tracker, you can use the telegram bot to subscribe to specific creators, series, or items (or join the public channel for everything).

For arbitrary public addresses, some explorers offer notification emails - there's also some services focusing just on alerts out there, but I haven't used any personally to recommend.

Before building the tracker, I used to just import my items' addresses into an electrum watch-only wallet and leave it running in the background - worked well enough (although not great, as I still got burned by Yogg while I was asleep)

The only thing linking it to this topic is that it was swept in the same transaction as the collectible coins. Other than that, it would probably be better to open a new topic in Bitcoin Technical Support.

I see several potential points of failure:
  • Bitaddress has many phishing clones, but I've never read anything bad about Bitaddress itself. Usually a small typo is enough.
    The warning on Bitaddres.org with one s exists for a reason!
  • You say you took every precaution, but it sounds like you used the online website instead of using it offline, and wiping your computer afterwards.
  • The printer may potentially be a problem too, but that's unlikely considering it was swept together with other coins.

I've taken a look at my #12 (gilded and silver).

Bought them both in April 2023

Gilded was loaded October 2022 Before I bought  (Hacker Swept)
Silver was loaded  April 2023 When I bought        (I swept after the others were swept by hacker)

So this makes me to believe that maybe RC makes the keys when they are sold and changed key generator software/method from early 2023 (I think raghavsood has also mentioned it)
rsincognito you bought late 2023

I can also be completely wrong about this Smiley

Maybe RC can elaborate on that?

All keys were generated at once i.e. on the same day.

Address list was published from the day of coins announcement : https://crypto.raritycheck.com/vibgyor

It's possible some keys haven't been hacked with RNG attack or the backdoor for VIBGYOR series.

All LCS coin keys are created with bitaddress. So, please avoid panic.

If all keys were generated in one session with the same tool, it is not possible that same keys are safe.

Every single existing VIBGYOR key should be considered unsafe, and every single loaded VIBGYOR coin should be peeled immediately.

The raritycheck team should be very, very clear in their messaging regarding this. Giving holders the impression that they might be safe if the funds haven't been swept yet is simply not an option.

If you hold an intact, funded VIBGYOR coin or know someone who does, please make sure it is peeled and redeemed. Based on what we know about the keygen compromise so far, funds being stolen from this is a matter of WHEN, not IF. Leaving those coins funded is akin to sending a time-delayed donation to the people behind the bad keygen.

The clone sites are everywhere and they are STILL indexed used all the time.
I while ago I wound up getting a bunch of domains and setup the sites like this after they hosted malware: http://electrum-bitcoin.org
YEARS AND YEARS later they are still getting hits from non bot / non crawler sources. As in people had to have them bookmarked or something and tried to go back.
