50 BTC lost because of blank passphrase

[Muhammed Zakir]

There are bots to transfer coins as soon as they are deposited!


Just see the time frame...2 BTC deposited and withdrawn within a second 

User "amaclin" is running a bot. He is already running a bot for sweeping Bitcoins from addresses he bought and from addresses whose private keys were leaked.

Is there a thread to this? incase some peoples address he purchased that others can confirm to ditch their address.

its pretty crazy how someone does that.. esp running a bot just for that..

I think there is no "special" threads. I can confirm this because he sweeped from one of my old address twice and when I analysed that address, I found he has is sweeping from *many* other addresses. I also think he is one of the people who stole Bitcoins when there was a Blockchain.info bug(reused R values). IIIRC, he indirectly agreed he stole Bitcoins.

This is not your old address (private key). You sold it to me. Now this is my address. And I can do whatever I want with it.

Aren't these your words?

Thanks! Received! Good trade with you!

Yes, you are right. It was mine earlier and that's what I meant. My mistake.

Why on earth you sold your address in the first place ?

[sana9821]

wow thats insane how a small mistake can cause such a big loss, i guess people have to be more careful about all the transactions they make to avoid such bad decisions

[amaclin]

Why on earth you sold your address in the first place ?

Why not? Private key is something like private property. Why not to sell it if the price is comfortable and there is an agreement between buyer and seller?

It's like "My wife still has access to my personal bank account after our divorce".
WTF Dude? Are you serious?

I really did not understand *completely* about these things. Later onwards, I started understanding more.

P.S. I won't be committing such as mistake or similar mistake again! Ever!

LoLz... I hope you understand *completely* about the Bit-X scam fast... before it is too late.

p.s. I am assuming that you are innocent and do not understand how Bit-X is duping bitcoiners.

BIT-X is legit unlike the scam you are advertising. However, it is also possible they are selling more than 1 PH.

[talkbitcoin]

omg that is a lot of money. but i think nobody is stupid enough to lose that much on blank password

Wah.... having 1 Phs vouch and selling more than that... and you call it legit ? It is another AM hash in the making, which will wipe out millions from people once again.

I didn't say they are selling more than 1 PH, instead I said that it is possible/probable. After all, it is not selling hashes out of thin air like CMW.

And lucky thief is this: https://blockchain.info/address/1A6Ei5cRfDJ8jjhwxfzLJph8B9ZEthR9Z
I wonder why the other "double spenders" didn't pay more tx fee? They would have more chance to claim it..

If you go to bitaddress dot org and copy the phrase

Open Source JavaScript Client-Side Bitcoin Wallet Generator

You get the wallet

who's meagre 0.00437805 BTC were sent to the wallet 1A6Ei5cRfDJ8jjhwxfzLJph8B9ZEthR9Z on the 6th of January 2016.

If you do the same to the listed wallet 1NiNja1bUmhSoTXozBRBEtR8LeF9TGbZBN you get

Just wasting space in blocks
Stop this automated and crazy script please!

Will try similar on other brain / paper wallet sites - I suspect this is where the various 1,000 BTC cryptsy wallet funds have ended up.

you should encrypt it your wallet before depositing, 50 btc is a serious amount money, what a pity that you were hacked in 10 minutes, imo hackers may have trojan horses in your computer, what's why you were hacked in just 10 minutes, can't believe, so you learn big lesson from this hack, sorry to hear that.

Or look into hardware wallets.  They truly are a nice thing to have if your going to use the address a lot.  Just adds a lot more security some are so secure even if computer is compromised you are still safe (as long as you did not do something stupid like save seeds on PC).

And there is paper wallets for if you truly are not going to touch the BTC.  Just make sure to do it properly.

People should be using those two options a lot.

I think you are a scammer because just now I watched the video where your 155 address was mentioned..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7gbX7sfNBs this says you have to download its software and once the user runs it, it scans the system for private keys and bohhhh all money gone..

Is this old chest-nut still doing the rounds?  Gave me a laugh. Heh.

Ok this kind of thing makes me nervous. How do I make sure this never happens to me?

don't use a brainwallet, and you won't get dictionary attacked. it's that simple. most people agree that brainwallets are insecure because humans generally won't choose a passphrase with enough entropy. your passphrase may seem random or hard-to-crack to you, but to a brute-forcing algorithm, it probably isn't.

use a wallet like bitcoin core, and this won't happen.
