New hope: MtGox users promise to return money

Bitcoin rolls down from Mount Fuji
Quickly, to the lowlands.
“Come back!” I shout to him.

Members of the Japanese Bitcoin exchange MtGox, which burst out loud at the beginning of last year, received a new hope for a refund. On the website of the exchange today appeared instructions for users who have lost access to their funds that were on the exchange at the time of its closure.

Users are urged to register on the website claims.mtgox.com and file a complaint before May 29. This can be done in two ways. First, directly through the MtGox website. Secondly, users can register on the Korean crypto-exchange Kraken, and submit an application through her personal account. At the same time, Kraken promises all sorts of benefits to former MtGox users who will follow the second path.

According to the question and answer file , a refund will be made at the rate of $ 483 for 1 BTC plus 6% per annum. At the same time, the organization responsible for processing claims is considering the possibility of returning funds in the BTC currency, although this issue has not yet been finally resolved. All applications will be considered no later than September 9. In a special thread on the Reddit website, users discuss the sudden good news, but are skeptical about the possibility of returning all lost funds.

MtGox Exchange announced the closure and the loss of at least 650,000 Bitcoins (initially even larger numbers were announced, but then part of the loss was found) worth about half a billion dollars as a result of hacker attacks. This caused a fall in both the value of bitcoins , and confidence in cryptocurrencies and cryptoheals.

Now Bitcoin is gradually restoring the trust of the community and gaining recognition of various institutions, both commercial and state. The current largest stock exchanges like CoinBase or BitPay operate with the support of well-known investment companies.
