Staff is excited to announce very positive news regarding the anticipated pace of repayment. On behalf of all users who lost funds in the attack: Thank you, recent buyers. Thank you, active vendors. Your purchases and sales are allowing us to repay at a way faster pace than we anticipated. When we committed to repaying every single person affected by the attacks, we expected this process to take a very long time. We are thrilled to announce that sales over the past seven days are already up to 61% of the volume we were seeing before the attacks. If sales continue at the current pace, all victims of February's hack will be completely repaid 93 days from this post. Partially repaid: 30.8% of total victims Fully repaid: 13.2% of total victims Sales volume: 61% of pre-attack weekly sales Average commission: 5% (3% lower than before attack) Estimated date all users are repaid if sales continue at this week's pace: June 13th, 2014 1. This estimated repayment date is not a promise. We are repaying everyone as soon as we get the funds. If sales increase, everyone will get paid sooner. The rate of repayment is directly tied to the pace of sales, and the commission earned on each sale. We will be adding the ability for vendors to donate a higher commission soon, which hopefully will improve the pace further if many vendors adopt it. 2. We cannot release exact user counts, exact BTC owed, or sales figures for security reasons. 3. All escrow balances are currently being manually reviewed and resolved by staff. This is very tedious, and will take time. Our goal is to have all disputes settled within this 90 day time frame. We also plan to launch automated tools for this. Your escrow balances are safe. 4. The full amount owed to users is not the full amount lost to the attack. A large amount of funds stolen were our marketplace's commission earnings. We will not release any exact amounts in order to help protect everyone's anonymity from analysis. 5. We are continuing to improve the repayment algorithm to spread commissions in a fair and minimally-traceable fashion. If you have not received a payment yet, this does not indicate that you never will. May our actions speak louder than our words. We are committed to repaying every victim. 1. To users seeing negative balances: this is an issue we are aware of. Do not panic, we know who you are and see the problem on our side. There is no need to contact us directly, we are working on a safe fix. If your balance still reflects a negative amount after the fix, you should reach out to us at that point. 2. The login CAPTCHA is being cached in some situations. If you are unable to log in, right click on the CAPTCHA and select "view image". That is the true CAPTCHA you should be seeing. Type it in, and you will be able to access the marketplace. Staff is working very hard behind the scenes on a few exciting updates you will see released this weekend. Expect a planned downtime announcement on Friday. We are fighting for you very hard behind the scenes. Thank you buyers, thank you vendors. Let's get our community completely repaid. Defcon
