Sent funds to coinbase Aug9th and have not yet received them...HELP

[LoyceV]

Do what seioncorporation said.

That won't help, as Coinbase already said the 12ngg~ address isn't theirs.

Any possibility that this is a new variant of the clipboard virus that remembers the original address that it is replacing... Waits for the transaction to be created and if the value is below a certain value it fowards the payment to the original address to try and avoid detection?

I'm thinking this isn't likely, as the OP claims they did all this on an iPhone... And I am not aware of any current iOS clipboard malware.

Very strange that the Coinbase app would give a 1-type address... They were supposed to be switching to P2WPKH-P2SH SegWit addresses.

@OP, what happens if you got the Coinbase app and try to get a deposit address now? What sort of address does it generate? "1xxxx" or "3xxxx"?

Not sure this helps, but if the address you used(12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj) was a one-time address from coinbase. Then coinbase would have the would have the private key to address (12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj), depending on their program, they should be able to sweep it again into your account.

Coinbase does change its addresses in every deposit "request" but all of the old addresses were still connected to your account.
Read this: Why did my wallet address change?

I think I got a hint on this.
-snip-
BTW, Only OLD Coinbase addresses starts with "1"

Can you help me out with this? I am not sure what to do

I'll be honest with you, my "hint" was you might be a victim of a malware or a scam as my previous reply (2nd page) stated.

The transaction was made last August9 but check if either of your iPhone or PC is infected with a malware like HCP mentioned.

• 1. In your iPhone, copy an address from your Coinbase app, remember at least the 1st and last 3 digits, then paste it in any text box like Messages or Searchbox.
  
• If the pasted add is the same, you're not infected with a clipboard hijacking virus/malware or it's not active ATM.
• 2. In your PC, do the same, copy an address from coinbase and paste in in a text file.
  
• If any of it changed, that must be the cause of this.

That's to clarify the scenario, not to recover your funds.

Looks like I am screwed. Damn can’t afford to be out this money!

But to answer your question it is spitting out addresses starting with 3, wish there was someway to pull the money off. I would gladly pay if someone knew what to do.

[LoyceV]

If you copy that address and paste it somewhere else, do you get the same address?

Paying someone doesn't help (and don't believe it when you receive such an offer by PM!). Without the private key, you can't access the funds.
Your best chance would be to figure out where the 12ngg~ address came from, and how it forwarded your funds. Whatever happened is the key to your funds, but at this point I think it's very unlikely for you to recover it.

[Oldnewbie]

I wouldn't say the money is gone yet, it is still on the block chain in the same address you sent it to.
You just have to figure out who has the key, you or coinbase.
If it leaves that address, then you could say it's gone.

[Thirdspace]

If I remember correctly, someone has experienced quite similar deposit problem a few months back
though I'm not sure whether it was coinbase, freewallet or other wallet
unfortunately I don't have it bookmarked and can't find again the thread yet

Appreciate the optimism. I only operate with Kraken and Coinbase, I don’t know that I have a way of figuring out where 12ngg came from as I do believe it was coinbase. How else would deposit #1 find its way into my coinbase account? Thinking back to that day I did call coinbase a few hours after the second transaction hadn’t posted...the person who answered the phone had mentioned there was an issue with bitcoin that day not sure if it was coinbase related or not. My only thought is that the coinbase app gave me the 12ngg somehow and I used it...but then where does 36ii come from!? Has anyone ever seen what happened in my transaction? Where I send to one address and then it ends up going to a second address?

The two transactions were 15min apart and I did not go into my app and regenerate a new wallet address, I simply pasted the previous (12ngg) and sent deposit #2 which did not get picked up and sent to 36ii

What is a private key? And how does one obtain it!?

Try to figure this out, how many bitcoin wallets do you have?

[Alexw592]

I only use Coinbase and Kraken. That is it...I have a few diff wallets within coinbase but none show a balance.

Hope this helps and I appreciate your help or advise/help

[cryptonerddy]

ok, when you say coinbase, you mean their app or web wallet?

Also, all the different wallets you have in coinbase, does any address start with a 1?

I use the app for iPhone. The wallet where the transaction #1 was deposited into starts with a 3

My other two accounts both start with 1 when I get a wallet address 

[nc50lc]

Still didn't get it after all of our previous replies?
Okay, I'll break it down in a list:

• First open a blockexplorer where 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj's history was listed: here Open in a new Tab
  
• Secondly, from the bottom of the page, transaction afc314f97ab2e02076c4ceba0c2d8493b840b23570b97b2a60fcf5cf57fca9ae is your 1st tx which have inputs from Kraken's addresses to different outputs including 0.09481172 BTC to 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj.
  But this tx wasn't credited by coinbase since it isn't their address.
  
• Next, transaction 17fa98a77b8ce4dc91bd9569f4663687922344f223b9979dbb54a31996b11beb the 0.094BTC was quickly sent by the user or malware program to 36ii5gNkZw2vAZ8TVk9dYXtVVbJxk68hiE which belongs to your coinbase account (we can confirm this by looking at the image you've provided)
  And this is why the first transaction made it through your coinbase account.
  

The Second transaction's funds however, is still being held by 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj: f1c52f3edd8fcb8277013b7654bcba48a1c3559bddd6ff305a95491210d6fde0

ok, make sense then, if you say the others start with 1, just get a list of all the addresses used in the other 2 accounts and look for this 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj address.

this is just my little tx forensic, may or may not be correct
as you can see above, both transactions TX1A & TX1B was confirmed in a single block 535949
TX1B is moving an unconfirmed utxo (at that time) and using a default txfee of 10k satoshi
it's unlikey done by coinbase (like TX1C), or any exchange or online wallet
exchanges would wait for at least 1 confirmation before moving fund

Thanks for the input...not sure what any of the tx forensic means?

So we can eliminate there possibility of malware, can you please try the following:

- open coinbase wallet
- get deposit address like you did previously
- copy/paste that address into another app (like email or browser or notepad)

Is that address pasted identical? Or is it changed?

Those addresses are the same when I copy them...they do not change

Have you upgraded the wallet since the first transaction?
