lost - confused & in need of some help :)

[D3LBOY]

i no doubt have stuffed up the format of the question not even 100% i am in the right section

do i have brought - moved about and spent around $1000 of bitcoins i am still a novice

and so i am stumped as to what is going on

i ordered some bitcoins from my coinbase - i sent that to my blockchain wallet - normally this is pretty easy & quick

but i did this at 4pm yesterday well 4.36'ish and that original transaction currently sits at 94 confirmations - when i looked this morning there now seems to be a whole new transaction listed with 46 confirmations it's going to the same wallet address but for a less amount

i no this is something simple and i am being thick as i am not as ''clued up'' but can someone explain to me what i actually did wrong or whats going on

https://blockchain.info/address/1JqosveT62rZiPKDMZ49AjdqKRjMizSj8F

oldest   transaction id - e205a6360972bc661af215fcc7acb219d4ae22a586bbaebb2742bb38a33ce99d
newest transaction id -  f87de572bc2297cce800636fa405ee5c1896a059f38e7acc1f481fd673bb083a

cheers

I am not sure what's the problem.
Both transactions have a lot of confirmations, both are going to your wallet.

How many transactions you did/expected? Only one or both?
Are the values you "withdrew" incorrect?

Do the amounts add up correctly (what was in coinbase account = what is now in coinbase account + what is sent + tx fees)?
Please try to find a way to explain your problem very clearly and also try to send a ticket to coinbase if you feel that they did something wrong at sending those transactions.

that's the the thing i am not sure if there is a problem i just assumed as i have done transactions previously this way that never took more then 2/3 hours max if waiting for the money to show in my wallet 17 hours later was ''normal''

How many transactions you did/expected? Only one or both - i did one transaction from - coinbase to my blockchain wallet

Are the values you "withdrew" incorrect - when i go to https://blockchain.info/address/1JqosveT62rZiPKDMZ49AjdqKRjMizSj8F  i can see two transactions listed one for $35.67 (this is the correct one well i paid £31) and i can now see another transaction for $25.45 and am not sure what this actually means

Do the amounts add up correctly (what was in coinbase account = what is now in coinbase account + what is sent + tx fees)? - i purchased the coins within coinbase and sent them to my blockchain wallet afterwards - so my balance was £0 before i purchased the coins and sent them i then sent the £31 7 once sent my balance on coinbase was £0 -

Coinbase doesn't send bitcoins from your address, instead they add up transactions and send from other address, either from one or multiple address.

so just check with bitcoin not with $ value (its changes often)

If you have received 0.02384704 btc in coinbase after purchasing, the transaction is good

Hi thanks for the reply i received within my coinbase wallet fine but i then sent it on/forwarded it to my blockchain wallet 17 hours and as till now it's still not showing in my blockchain wallet and i wondered if this was ''normal''


maybe i didn't explain it right

purchased some coins from coinbase

i sent these coins to my wallet @ blockchain

these have yet till now not arrived in my blockchain wallet

So from what I understand there are 2 problems:
1. you got a bonus of 24$ from coinbase; it's a mistake and it would be nice (but not mandatory) to tell them about their mistake.
2. your Blockchain.info wallet doesn't show your money (it shows 0 instead of 0.02384704 BTC?) which is an issue they should fix and for that your surely should send a ticket to Blockchain.info

What else comes into my mind is that you should check and make sure that 1JqosveT62rZiPKDMZ49AjdqKRjMizSj8F is indeed your wallet address at Blockchain.info

number 2 is my problem

i have messaged them prior to starting the topic - the topic was more about timescale and if this wait was normal etc as i am still new to bitcoin i wasn't sure

1JqosveT62rZiPKDMZ49AjdqKRjMizSj8F - was the address yesterday but this seems to change on a daily basis - ie today it's 12RscCFcDX3vLazmpJSBZCjE33gj5s83nT - but it was 100% correct as i always double check

So you are sure that 1JqosveT62rZiPKDMZ49AjdqKRjMizSj8F is a part of your wallet, correct?

If this is the case, go to blockchain.info, go to settings -> addresses -> manage.

You'll see a list of all your previously used addresses, and if that address above is indeed a part of your wallet, it'll show up there for sure. If it's not there, just double check the unused address section, and the archived addresses.

If it's not there, then unfortunately chances are you copied the wrong address. If it is, but balance is not showing up, you can always export the private key into another bitcoin wallet.

look's like something i did wrong just confused as to how, i had two tabs open - coinbase & blockchain - i clicked on request blockchain & copied the address - i then pasted that into coinbase

and yet this address does not show on any of the lists so how/where i got this address from god no's as only had two tabs open

ahhh well u live and learn thanks everyone for the help

Wait... The whole situation is very very confusing. I'll try to summarize:

1. You sent bitcoin from coinbase to blockchain
2. You see the bitcoin on 1JqosveT62rZiPKDMZ49AjdqKRjMizSj8F but 1JqosveT62rZiPKDMZ49AjdqKRjMizSj8F isn't a part of your wallet.

Is that roughly the idea? corect me if i'm wrong in any way.

I was wondering - if 1JqosveT62rZiPKDMZ49AjdqKRjMizSj8F was indeed your address, did you send all 5 transactions to that address? AFAIK blockchain.info does not reuse address, so each time an address is used they'll give you a new one by default. So it is very odd. There is a risk that you're infected by some sort of copy-paste virus that replaces whatever address you were copying to the hacker's address. But this address has never been used, so i can't say for sure. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1841658.0 for more info

wow u no what i think u have hit the nail on the head - i remember something very weird happening - around an hour or two prior to sending i was looking at bitcoin wallets etc - and i kept having this error pop up a runtime error something like that - and it mentioned a copy & paste error i just ignored it and took it as nothing important as i use nod32 - malware scanner etc so didn't think i could be infected now this makes perfect sense

any advice on how to remove & thank you so much very annoyed but now makes perfect sense how it happened & it was my own stupid fault

You should be able to test for the so-called "clipboard virus" fairly easily... just copy a bitcoin address like this random one: 1Nr14VQZuYDVC1TmHUszDBdBhi39gAn4Cp

Try and paste it into a text editor or your webbrowser or whatever... and also try and paste it into coinbase like you are going to purchase coins just in case it is a coinbase specific hack as some chrome extension malware is known to target only bitcoin exchange websites... if it pastes a different address, then it is very likely your computer is infected.

If it ISN'T changing the address, then maybe you're not infected. When you were looking for your "previous" addresses... did you click "used" and see a warning dialog? If not, then you may not have actually seen ALL your addresses

First goto "Settings -> Security"... then click the "Manage" link under "My Bitcoin Wallet":



Then scroll all the way down until you see the "Used Addresses" section, click the "Show" link:



You'll get a warning popup... click "OK":



Now ALL your used addresses will show up:



If "1JqosveT62rZiPKDMZ49AjdqKRjMizSj8F" is NOT in this list... then you've somehow pasted in someone elses bitcoin address to Coinbase...

As for removal if your computer IS infected... maybe give malwarebytes a shot?
