We passed an exciting repayment milestone today: 50% of the hack victims have now been completely repaid. 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 faster pace than we anticipated. 100% of the attack's victims have received a partial repayment. If you have not received a repayment, contact us through our new Support Center. Partially repaid: 100% of total victims' Pending Balances (UPDATED: We are working hard on resolving all Pending Escrow disputes) Fully repaid: 50.2% of total victims Sales volume: 73% 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 9th, 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 the estimated repayment time frame. We also plan to launch automated tools for this. 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. We are fighting for you very hard behind the scenes. Thank you buyers, thank you vendors. Let's get our community completely repaid. Defcon
