Title: What just happened? Post by: betam4x on August 30, 2012, 12:15:24 AM Recently reinstalled Bitcoin on my Windows 8 machine after having it uninstalled for over a year. Had 2.xx bitcoins in my wallet. Found a site called Satoshi dice and started playing around with it. Suddenly I notice a big transaction from my account. Can someone help me figure this out? Don't think i have any viruses or anything, Did install litecoin, i0coin, namecoin, and bitcoin from their official sources? See below:

The 2.58712248 BTC are still on your wallet and should show up as available balance for you to spend. The address where they were sent is a change address, so you won't see it on your bitcoin client, but it is indeed on your wallet.dat.
In fact it's the same transaction as the one where you sent 0.01 to SatoshiDice, just another output. You can see it better on the link below. http://blockchain.info/tx-index/18494141/a2aceb766e4083306b83f8db35ee30b9ff9e154708d9146b35d25f976c545541?show_adv=false Title: Re: What just happened?
