Hi
Yesterday I tried to transfer some bitcoin to Bitfinex. After looking for 30 minutes where to send the money, I found the three wallets there.
Then I copy pasted the address from the Bitfinex account into my pc wallet and sent it. But it never came through. Then I noticed that the funding wallet address in my Bitfinex account doesn't match the address in the transaction log which is very strange because the Bitfinex wallet address is the only address I saw (looking a long time for an address to send to, not copypasted from other sites).
1D38xn57NgSpGKxuz1mJwdvdCuq4QgGnHa - is the address I tried to send to, the funding wallet in Bitfinex,
1MihufoBpGHS1B3FPhVi62rCMwKPzZAuqU - this is where I happened to send them. I haven't seen that address before. Seems this address got my bitcoin from 1HjCQ6us9xpT5YRzCBqxkBJPAjfn9s8weL which I haven't seen either, my wallet I send from is 1L5mZLJt17bn5Z2V6EERtZ5PrhUajkiUy4.
This is the transaction ID 7b502cbf4f914439d3edaf4f78ac37061a0c5773159dcbab7c680ec190b8a441
Can anyone tell what happened? or are they lost? I've sent a support ticket to Bitfinex but I don't really know how to explain it
Thank you
You can check the transaction on Blockexplorer:
https://blockexplorer.com/tx/7b502cbf4f914439d3edaf4f78ac37061a0c5773159dcbab7c680ec190b8a441Right now it says that is has over 200 confirmations, so the transaction has been completed and should be in your wallet.
I don't know how Bitfinex handles deposits, but it's possible that they shove the funds around multiple internal wallets (similar to what Jaxx.io does), in which case it could just take some longer to show up.
Either way, with those confirmations you should already be seeing your funds, so just write to the support and tell them that you've deposited BTC yesterday and got the following TX ID (the one you posted). Say you've checked
https://blockexplorer.com/tx/7b502cbf4f914439d3edaf4f78ac37061a0c5773159dcbab7c680ec190b8a441 and mention that it states over 200 confirmations.
Then ask about why your deposit doesn't show yet despite the high amount of confirmations.
You can also mention the fact that the transcation ID they gave you shows another depositing address than your own and they will tell you what is up with that exactly.
