10 days ago, I put a private key in my signature which has got a small balance on it.

I've been posting daily, how come none of you guys managed to spot it yet?

EDIT: that was fast, right after posting this someone decided to send the BTC to a coin eater address:
https://blockchain.info/address/1GBiziLtuWAwpZiyWEpHDty5HY2qgvYRsy

I mentally filter out all the signatures. I still can't see it.

That is a very clever exploit you have there.
Unfortunately it also means I must now report you as a scammer.

The private key has a negative amount (0.02 btc) which when redeemed sends this TX:
https://blockchain.info/tx/28d3cd4ed4d8378cbec3c3a067866817478b9bd4d7c8ee1b1bc094161db81e04
to this address (cool address btw):
https://blockchain.info/address/1111111111111111111114oLvT2

What concerns me is that is this an exploit ?
I would say yes, you should not be able to redeem keys with negative sums.

Sorry Blazzr, it seems blockchain.info incorrectly reported the tx as mine after importing the privkey.
I have re-logged in to check and now the tx does not show at all, but it does show the address: 1GBiziLtuWAwpZiyWEpHDty5HY2qgvYRsy as being owned by myself which is curious as I thought private keys could not be redeemed twice.

You had me very very confused for a minute there. :)

Nope, the same private key can be redeemed by as many people as you like, I still have that address in my wallet as well.

Sorry for the confusion there Blazr, we rarely play with private key import/ export here as we dont use vanity addresses it has little to do with gambling.

If its negative its means your debiting your account that much probubly not balance; Also YOU CRAZY BLAZR!

I think SRoulette imported the private key and then saw the addresses transactions pop up in their client, and mistakenly thought that it was debiting his/her wallet 0.002BTC.

The first thing I did after making my account was to disable signatures so they don't display. I thought that was pretty standard for anyone who browses forums more than casual, signatures are almost always just spam unrelated to the thread you are reading. If you really want to see a particular signature you can find it in their profile.

This is something I never do, I like to see peoples signatures as it's handy to see what services they are affiliated with.

In the rare case where you want to see what someone is pushing you can click their profile and it's right there. Otherwise it's just user controlled ads most of the time which I don't care to see.

When did they(mos) state putting ads between the first and second posts?

He auctions the space in Marketplace/Auctions. I guess this is the 59th week.

Ha why worry? Just use the Wayback Machine (http://archive.org/web/web.php) to recover your pennys from the internet.  :P

I like this kind of games. Some older forum members may remember game "There is bitcoin hidden on this page". I decided to start another round. There is 0.01 BTC hidden on first page of this topic.
