Title: WTF happened to my wallet?
Post by: bobalo on November 12, 2014, 12:22:16 AM
Hi .
Just before few minutes ago I had about 40+$ worth of btc in my multibit wallet.
Then all of the sudden , the wallet became blank , and said something about other program using the wallet , like what the fuck?
I re run it , still blank.
So I opened the wallet from %appdata%Roaming/Multibit .wallet , it synced for a while , and I came up with a balance of 0.2$?
What the fuck happened? It just blows my mind that I lost it all , what can I do? I'm lost ... and so confused.
What can I do?

What OS?

Sounds like some type of malware from the very brief description. But, if you restart does it still say it is busy?

If you check the address at blockr.io (or elsewhere) are the coins still there?

Download anything at all dicey recently?  Miner? App? Etc

Hard to say without more info.

Windows 7 64 bit.
I rebooted I have no wallet anymore , I do however have a backup but the balance is 0.2$...
blockr.io finds my address and says I have the balance that I have on the wallet , and that my last transaction was 01.11 which is horse shit since I just sent bitcoins last night...
I didn't download anything dicey , my PC is clean , there is no way somebody just took my bitcoins

Well it seems as if you have some sort of malware hiding in the corners.

Honestly i'm clean , even IF it was malware how the fuck does block explorer says my last transaction was 01.11 ? I made one last NIGHT , it makes no sense.

Before sending coins to an address make sure you have made several backups.

Perhaps multibit created a new wallet for you and replaced your original wallet.
