Nice, congrats. What's a time vault?

[Ccecil]

It's sarcasm.

Everyone who had coin in Mt.Gox lost it during a hack. A portion of that was returned to the users who had a loss about a year ago.

Yeah my 100 stolen bitcoins got me a cool $4k check from the settlement. Definitely made whole by that :|

[stavros]

I think you would have been much better off choosing the bitcoin option. You'd have gotten around 40 BTC back, I think.

[baggachipz]

I don't believe I had the option. I just filed my claim, and several years later a check showed up.

[stavros]

Hm no, at some point you were asked whether you want USD or BTC, plus (later) whether you want it guaranteed now or whether you want to wait for more.

That's what I remember, anyway.

[Ccecil]

Perhaps you should log in and verify. Maybe you missed the step about setting up an account on an exchange to get it transferred.

There was quite a few steps...maybe you still have something coming.

Likely in this case the time vault was the collapse of Mt Gox, which has now recently been paying back holders.

[stavros]

It's something that locks your stuff so you can't access it for a while.
