Stolen bitcoins?

[pheaonix]

People here have to realize that the vulnerability is not the bitcoin network in itself, but rather the habits of the guy who owned the wallet he send bitcoins to. The only error here was human error.

I'm sorry for your loss, by the way.

thanks why I think, ironically, bitcoin will take off when there are 'bitcoin banks' that insure your coins

or it will force people to realize just how important securing their computers is.

it is extremely important to secure everything and know what your doing.

the thieves make it easier to lose your coins every day. two clicks in the wrong place on your browser and your wallet is gone.

I think that the most reliable bank is yourself, if you are educated and careful.

I think that you (DavidAU) are confused about something.

Take a look at all the transactions at that address. Every time bitcoins are sent to it, they are soon sent somewhere else. Why is that? How is the 8 BTC transaction any different from any of the others?

I don't know why the bitcoins were transferred, but it looks like it is completely normal. Perhaps you are confused about the address? Are you sure you own it? Maybe this is an exchange's address and the coins are getting sweeped into another address.

Also, does your wallet say that the 8 bitcoins are gone? The fact that they are no longer at that address doesn't mean they are gone. Do you understand the relationship between addresses and wallets, and how "change" is handled?
