So I was checking my email, when I noticed that I got an email from VirWoX saying "your deposit has been confirmed". I was confused because I don't really use VirWoX anymore. I went on the site and sure enough, I had received .5 BTC. I know that I didn't send it. I also checked the blockchain and there is no record of any transactions with my btc deposit address, which is: 178gJy8mCtgXvon1i21XCK4gk7YCMhfYi5 Blockchain page: https://blockchain.info/address/178gJy8mCtgXvon1i21XCK4gk7YCMhfYi5Any ideas on what happened? Update: I've withdrawn the BTC to another account. Update 2: I was able to withdraw the BTC to this address, although it has not received enough confirmations to be credited yet: 1xyyj3tb3To4TTdqcsVDvjfaZR5hxpGSQ As you can see, the BTC is there, or at least on its way (minus Virwox's .01 fee). https://blockchain.info/address/1xyyj3tb3To4TTdqcsVDvjfaZR5hxpGSQ

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I will. I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I would like to know how this happened, however. Bitcoins shouldn't be popping out of nowhere.

That sounds like a bug with VirWoX, given that there isn't an actual transaction on the blockchain.

Well we'll see if my BTC withdrawal gets confirmations.
