Hello everyone.
Hello.
After the hard fork on 2nd of August it stopped syncing and this state continues up to this day.
Weird bug, have you tried restarting Bitcoin Core? Maybe delete the peers.dat file in the data directory. Always try restarting the computer when you have any bug.
I was digging into the subject, because it's almost uncanny that there was such a whopping difference and I found a transaction that concerned me.
https://blockchain.info/pl/tx/cb39028a8880a0b38b72edf39ed3c9637adef891fc403b4ab75929f8c924b374From where we checked he actually send 1.92BTC, but he doesn't recall the second output (1.08961509 BTC). Core also doesn't show that output and because of that the balance was wrong for almost 10 days! It looks like somebody stole his funds.
That seems like good news to me. If someone stole the funds, he would have created a new transaction probably, instead of waiting for your friend to send one and then piggyback on it. This is also a default behavior of Bitcoin Core to create the change address and send the remaining funds to it, as you can't just not send bitcoins from the specified inputs in the transaction, otherwise they will be counted as the mining fee, don't want to bother you with to much detail tho. The point is that you should go to Bitcoin Core and then click on Help->Debug window->Console and type:
dumpprivkey "18bVb8yd8iFBe977eK2Q3Qdaz9jc6pBFRC"
That will give you the private key of that address and you will have your coins.
Please help.
Best regards,
