I don't know, but it would lead me to believe the funds were accessed by your computer.  Either somebody physically went to your computer or remotely.


Unless there was a break-in from an ex-girlfriend or somebody you had a recent falling out from, I'd think remote access.  If your internet is always on, then somebody may have found a "backdoor" port into your computer.  You may have received an email with a photo, a link to nowhere or some other embedded Trojan.  

If you were gone, the person probably new you were going to be gone.  They may still have access to your computer.  My advice would be to find a professional you trust to analyze your computer.  It could be a couple grand or a couple hundred bucks, but that's where I would start.  I think there is something on your computer like a keylogger, which are über hard to find without monitoring the network traffic.

EDIT: Think of your computer as potential evidence.  That's the best place to start, imo.

How is it different than Ripple of 2004? Aside from the fact that it has Bitcoin under it?

I usually have a question for people who want SegWit.  How many transactions do you have per day? The answer is always the same "zero" ... maybe once a month. Currency vs. Commodity. 

Tell that to the people who are mining BTC on S3s in Venezuela to buy food on Amazon pantry vía purse.io/ and having it smuggled across the border.  Food.

EDIT: To help give you an idea ... .002 BTC is 60 days mining on an S3 (approximately).

And me.  I'm moving to LiteCoin, as soon as they get SegWit figured out and this warning on my core node goes away:

1. 2MB blocks
2. 2.5 minute tx times
3. Can buy on Coinbase
4. A couple PH of security (mining)
5. It's not ETH
6. LOW transaction fees (merchant acceptance)

Not everyone is a Bitcoin maximalist.

Welcome to the club, along with 137,000 others. Bitcoin was hijacked and "Core" stopped increasing block size, when they received their self-appointed doctorates in economics.  The debate is commodity vs currency.

They have probably been monitoring your keystrokes or something for some time.  They probably logged into your email, confirmed and then deleted the email before you even received an alert on your phone.  

If you still have your computer, with the same info, you could try putting it inside a virtual box and monitoring network traffic.  Then ... try to bait the bastard somehow, though they would be hiding behind a VPN.

It's much more difficult to do a line of blow through 0.06BTC than a $100 bill  

Your own wallet on your own computer had currencies stolen?!?!

Sorry about your loss.  I found this discussion from Andreas Antolopolis on Hot vs Cold wallets thought provoking:

"The only time I put my money on an exchange is when I am going to sell it.  Then, it's three confirmations and sold.  I don't trust banks.  Why would I trust a startup that's a couple years old?"

I'm thinking about moving to Denver.  Knowing there are active BTC meetups would be a bonus.

Agree.

Do you need to comment in order to vote?

I think this was the agreement reached over a year ago.  Core went ahead with SegWit and a "1MB is law" mentality.  Discussions began on a thread here to continue increasing block sizes, as had been done the previous X years, which led to Bitcoin Unlimited.

After seeing the warning sign on my LiteCoin Core node about unknown rules and learning about Ripple in 2004, I am not convinced about SegWit in the real $$$ matter.  I have am running core, but moved out my $LTC to Jaxx until the warning goes away.

In theory, cool!  It's also cool to think about tethering our cell phones, like Lightning, but for some reasons it hasn't worked and we have cell towers. SegWit is placing an old idea on top of a revolutionary technology, in my current opinion.  My opinion does change.

Hey all,

I just figured out a new trick by accident.  As a miner, I prefer to send multiple transactions to different wallets with each payout.  I separate mine for electricity costs and another for an A741.  I'll send out the transactions daily with a small fee .0000225 and they sit in the mempool.  

I send from and to the same addresses on a regular basis.  I know ... *** alarms *** ... for some. They're sometimes picked-up and sometimes not.  Then I'll make throw the btc.com "recommended" fee with a little more perhaps.  When sending to and from the same addresses, when it picks up the larger transaction fee, it picks up the small ones.  It seems to happen every time - even with 20 transactions.

Has anybody else experienced this?  Am I discovering something new or this an old trick and I missed the memo?  Is this spamming the network?

Anyways.  This seemed like a good place for this because of the 0tx fee send for Kano block payouts, usually distributed when a block is found by this pool.

Thanks!  

BU needs more people working on it.  The 100k+ tx queue show how its importance.  

We need to fix layer one (block scaling *options*) before layer two - SegWit and all the cool stuff in two years. Yes, BU may not have the best code, but that is because it is grassroots that started on the site. http://www.coindesk.com/hidden-history-bitcoin-unlimited/

Jaxx.io

Thanks for explaining.  I guess, I the question I meant to ask is if Coinbase should add Litecoin as a wallet option for non-professional class users?   When it was staying stable, I thought it was great because of how fast the payments process.  It seems like Litecoin would be better for merchants, such as restaurants and retail (brick and morter), compared with BTC because of the underlying code difference.

Is script less secure than SHA-256?

I did not know Coinbase is GDAX.  I saw LTC was trading on https://cryptowat.ch/, but it appears as though you can't go directly from your bank account to LTC.  I'll need to take a look at GDAX and thanks for your info :thumbsup:

There is a poll at the top for me.  I wonder if anybody else can see the poll or if I messed it up ...

You should be able to ...

EDIT: It may be that you are 'newbie'?
