[resolved] strange BTC withdrawals showing on my bitfloor BTC address

[catcow]

i just recently initiated some deposits into my bitfloor BTC address.  they still have not reached 6 confirmations, but there are already withdrawals that are showing up for the exact balances that i'm depositing.

does anyone know what's going on?  i know bitfloor has one BTC address per account, so i don't think they are just shifting funds around internally.  the weirdest thing is that the withdrawals are getting confirmations...but there is no confirmed BTC in my account yet.

?? confused and very worried.

Are you seeing withdrawals on blockchain.info or a site like that? Or from your bitfloor account?

surprisingly quick reply from Roman:

"Your address is for deposit only. Any withdrawals shown from the address are not for your account and are internal transactions."

I guess this is normal even though it looks fishy.

just on blockchain.info

i've done a lot of btc transactions and never noticed anything like this before...hence the freakout.

Sounds normal then. I would get google authenticator on your phone and enable two-factor anyway. It leads to less paranoia.

already done.

doesn't protect you if bitfloor itself gets hacked...and their reputation makes me a bit uneasy.  i never leave btc/usd on there for long.
