Maybe because MaidSafe and a fair share of its users are located in what’s known as “the rest of the world”?
I said you can send MAID to any bitcoin address that you fully control, meaning you have the private key tho that address. That is true. Having the private key of an address, you can always sweep it from anyplace else using an Omni-compatible client.
But not knowing (and not having checked) that you don’t actually have full control over your MasterXchange address, you just went ahead.
The same misunderstanding happened to others (also, in detail described on this forum, see MAID sent to wrong address?).
If you are not 100% sure what you’re reading or doing, whether with fiat or cryptocurrencies, it’s wise to send a small amount first, check the other side of the pipe (with MAID, it takes about 15-20 mins) and then send the rest. Is that not common sense?
You had 20+ hours to plan the escape, but you unnecessarily rushed it without due precautions and dilligence. Now it’s our fault. How convenient.
I recommend you to read the link above and see if the good people at MasterXchange can help you.
