Title: Bitcoin-24 blip and some of my funds have disappeared?
Post by: TheDarKnight on October 31, 2012, 06:02:59 AM
Well I was bidding happily on the Bitcoin-24 site and it seems it went crazy in the early hours of the morning with at least one other person on there saying they were experiencing strange things in their Transactions history, causing them to withdraw all their funds to safety. But I wasn't so lucky! It seems, that my records in the Multibit wallet show I have sent them 59.14 BTC on 28-29 October, and yet when I checked my funds I had the sum of approx 397 Euros, which is enough to buy just under 50 BTC if the price fell to 8 Euros!
I checked the records on Bitcoin-24 for the amount of BTC I had sent them - it reads only one amount of 10 BTC on the 29th, not 3!
I quickly bought up as many Bitcoins as I could get (43.9-ish) and withdrew them to my wallet...

Well I have snapped the records and uploaded them for proof, but I hope the site owners can sort it out for me. "1Ag5..." is the deposit address in question - it is marked (3.) in the list on Bitcoin-24.
I am sending messages to the site owner to see if this can be resolved.

Here are the records I have got. This must be in Block Explorer as well.

PS: Have removed the images showing 'errors' in blockchain/site info so as not to make too fine a point of it. I was reimbursed by the site-owners.

The website has been down all morning.  Let's hope it is just service, not a hack.  The site has been acting up a bit lately, so they may have decided to take it down for maintenance.

I happen to have this bitcoin-24 bitcoin value monitor, and it is reporting funny values. USD Buy at 0, USD sell at 3 USD/BTC.

(Disclaimer: haven't used the actual exchange myself.)

There is very low order value in USD, so I think these oscillation arise from faulty order values. I have begun to put some small orders in USD there.

I see, I've just logged in - I was emailing them this morning. Haven't replied but they put some Euros in my account so that's a bit better :)
Now I am just worried that if I do business there they are gonna be hacked into again.  :P :-\

They have also restored my account.  I had lost a single-digit amount of BTC, sending my account slightly negative(!), but now it looks like everything is as expected, at least within 0.2 BTC.  It looks like Bitcoin-24 survived the hack, at least for now.  Obviously, they must have had the majority of the funds in cold storage, as any sensible site.
