Title: Someone please explain where my coins went...
Post by: 11danman11 on March 04, 2014, 06:49:14 AM
OK. So I had about 95m MEOW in my account. I simply opened up the the QT and it is syncing fine and everything. When suddenly I see a transaction sent to an address for the sum of about 35m MEOW. I absolutely shat myself. I had no idea what the hell just happened and I wondered how the person accessed my coins. I then later thought hang on, why would a thief only steal 35m coins, when they can simply take them all.. so I went to the Kittehcoin block explorer and had a look at the address (KGBqSX3fJRGowLoioTpJZar5TvbfNM2pGj). After having a look at it and seeing only one transaction going in, I think this can't be right. So I clicked on the transaction id. As i clicked it, I saw something I have never encountered before. I saw at the "redeemed at input section" that it hadn't been redeemed stating: "Not yet redeemed" I have never ever heard of this term ever and I am still trying to wrap my head around it. However, I thought maybe I had either sent/withdrawn too much money from Coinedup and possibly forked my coins, but how could this be possible if the 35m had been in my account for over 20 days? Makes no sense. Could someone shed some light on this please?
Thanks.

All "not yet redeemed" means is the receiving address hasn't synched with the chain yet.

Those coins are no longer yours.

The thief must have had the private key for the address from which the coins were stolen.  The other keys he didn't have so they were not stolen.

Did you import a paper wallet that someone else had access to?

BCX is right though, there is nothing to be done about the lost coins.

Did you mine or buy this? That's $1500, sorry for your loss :(

pls,  does this mean they are lost forever, and what causes such a situation?
