Pirated Fallout 4 steal bitcoins!

The life of a pirate just got a bit less rewarding as a poor guy found out when his Bitcoins got stolen.

 

A Reddit user called Arkanoah asked for help in regards to 4.88 Bitcoins (about US$1,773) disappearing from his wallet. This all happened on the 11th of November. Yep, the day that Fallout 4 was released and the date Arkanoah downloaded a pirated copy of the game.

Although not 100% sure, it does seem like his pirated copy did cost him way more than the actual game. Buyers beware? Perhaps pirates beware is a better fit.

Putting bitcoins and letting them remain on your PC like that is like taking money from a safe, and leaving it on the table as strange people come in and out.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

How long would it take to get that amount of BTC with just an R9 290?

 

How long would it take for me to make enough BTC to buy Star Wars: Battlefront?

Still probably longer than the life of the card. Try something asic resistant, like litecoins.

Can you point me in the right direction? And would I be able to use these LiteCoins on Amazon and stuff?

Yeah, something is really fishy here. He was probably getting shady torrents of Fallout 4 instead of waiting for the bigger guys to release their pack.

Litecoin isnt asic resistant.

You can buy a litecoin miner (which is based on scrypt) and mine much more efficiently than with a gpu.

The only asic resistant coins are coins based on the x11 algorithm and a few others

Decent point lol had the money to buy it and still didnt. maybe the argument would be that money was savings or rent or bills or something but IMO who would ever have anything but extra dough in bitcoins.

Yeah I highly doubt this has anything to do with a pirated fallout 4 (or at least it has nothing to do with the more well known ones out there), also 2 things a pirated copy/crack came out on the 8th, and fallout was released on the 10th.
