Title: I just got .5 BTC out of nowhere? Post by: J603 on August 14, 2013, 01:55:56 PM So I was checking my email, when I noticed that I got an email from VirWoX saying "your deposit has been confirmed". I was confused because I don't really use VirWoX anymore. I went on the site and sure enough, I had received .5 BTC.
I know that I didn't send it. I also checked the blockchain and there is no record of any transactions with my btc deposit address, which is: 178gJy8mCtgXvon1i21XCK4gk7YCMhfYi5 Blockchain page: https://blockchain.info/address/178gJy8mCtgXvon1i21XCK4gk7YCMhfYi5 Any ideas on what happened? Update: I've withdrawn the BTC to another account. Update 2: I was able to withdraw the BTC to this address, although it has not received enough confirmations to be credited yet: 1xyyj3tb3To4TTdqcsVDvjfaZR5hxpGSQ As you can see, the BTC is there, or at least on its way (minus Virwox's .01 fee). https://blockchain.info/address/1xyyj3tb3To4TTdqcsVDvjfaZR5hxpGSQ (https://blockchain.info/address/1xyyj3tb3To4TTdqcsVDvjfaZR5hxpGSQ) Title: Re: I just got .5 BTC out of nowhere?

I would like to know how this happened, however. Bitcoins shouldn't be popping out of nowhere. Title: Re: I just got .5 BTC out of nowhere? Post by: EmperorBob on August 14, 2013, 03:48:54 PM That sounds like a bug with VirWoX, given that there isn't an actual transaction on the blockchain.

Well we'll see if my BTC withdrawal gets confirmations. Title: Re: I just got .5 BTC out of nowhere? Post by: Elwar on August 14, 2013, 04:05:36 PM You are welcome.
Pay it forward. Title: Re: I just got .5 BTC out of nowhere? Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on August 14, 2013, 04:07:53 PM Well, I wasn't going to say it, but last year my btc-e bitcoins got doubled out of the blue.

You can always exchange the money and donate to another charity. Title: Re: I just got .5 BTC out of nowhere?
