please hear me out.
i was playing with bitcoin address generator vanitygen64 and blockchain.info and
http://directory.io/ which happens to have all the possible bitcoins address with private keys., i know they generate it on the fly depending on the page number.
I took first bitcoin address and private key from last page of site to make sure, btc wont get stolen quickly.
http://directory.io/904625697166532776746648320380374280100293470930272690489102837043110636675i sent some funds to ythe first address on that page,
https://blockchain.info/address/1PDSZN2qgFcuay1vVRxYo1yp9gfXeSKJgtas i imported that address in my blockchain.info account, i was waiting for the confirmation , but before it could get confirmed , another transaction is made without my knowledge, by someone who has the private key(offcourse private key is publicly open on site directory.io).
so my question is :
1) is this really a theft or i am missing something here ? like transaction fees or something else ?
2) how can he do so fast ? obviously its not done manually but still
3) why would he watch some random address ? which has not balance.
4) how is he doing this ? any links or direction would be great.
thanks for your time., have a great day ahead.
edit: i was using vanitygen64 to generate some address and private keys pair. but first i wanted to see if someone can steal btc using only 51 char long WIF format.
