Title: BTC.sx - Leveraged Bitcoin Trading. Simply use Bitcoin to take advantage of a ri
Post by: klintay on June 28, 2013, 06:01:07 AM
https://btc.sx/

Found this site that lets you bet on the price movement of BTC/USD. Was wondering if anyone had used them in the past? are they legit?

Seems like BTC.sx got hacked.

starsoccer's 0.1 withdrawal attempt to me from BTC.sx had my address submitted as 1TBZYXjrGjXCEN1SprpF66Jzy5uN3GiLS and it was redirected to https://blockchain.info/address/1CeygUifXfT4jRBTSV3tPQJnthyBL32eHT instead, in TXID 3b122e9c5b7ab567e18b5fbc9a178143f828899152ae0b003a6a19859f420f9d.

1CeygUifXfT4jRBTSV3tPQJnthyBL32eHT quickly sweeps all incoming TXs to https://blockchain.info/address/18fbVfNM5N1V4iDBR8bVcXzLZkWuJbxqkb - maybe an exchange?

I'm not sure what you mean about the withdrawal, but deposits to btc.sx are automatically swept into their cold wallet.

He said "sent" at 2013-10-19 10:56:20 in UTC actual, and the TX broadcasted at 2013-10-19 13:33:46 UTC. If btc.sx manually processes withdrawals, that's about 2.5 hours before they approved it. And seeing a screenshot of starsoccer's account, 1CeygUifXfT4jRBTSV3tPQJnthyBL32eHT is his btc.sx deposit address, and 18fbVfNM5N1V4iDBR8bVcXzLZkWuJbxqkb (the address it was swept to) is apparently their cold wallet?

So did someone f up and direct his withdrawal right back to his own deposit address (WTF, how do you not realize that if you're site admin?) instead of 1TBZYXjrGjXCEN1SprpF66Jzy5uN3GiLS, which is what he said he put in the withdraw address box the first time? The screenshot he sent shows his second attempt to withdraw to 1TBZYX...

ETA: And what do you know, https://blockchain.info/address/18fbVfNM5N1V4iDBR8bVcXzLZkWuJbxqkb just sent me 0.1. Was that the one he just resubmitted, or the one from the 19th? I guess I need to keep an eye out for the next few days to see if I get a duplicate 0.1... /facepalm

Ok, that's weird.  Yes, 18fbVfNM5N1V4iDBR8bVcXzLZkWuJbxqkb is a cold wallet address.  The account history should show if the withdrawal was credited back, so I would check that, and if 0.1 is missing, wait another 24 hours for it.
