Bitdrain: automatic drain/forward tool for exposed keys

[bitdrain]

I'm sharing a tool that will monitor bitcoin addresses and forward any funds coming in. (I once built it because my keys for which funds were still coming in were exposed). It could also be used for hunting brainwallets and alike.
Bitdrain will forward any current and future funds to your address of choice, minus the service fee.

To avoid being spammed with a massive amount of keys, the fee is significant and I also don't accept addresses that were never used.
As always, use this for your legitimate benefit or according to you moral compass.

Obligatory noob warning: don't enter your active non-exposed private keys here (or anywhere else online)

How does this match your Disclaimer?

DISCLAIMER: by using this service you certify you have the legitimate rights to these keys.

As always, use this for your legitimate benefit or according to you moral compass.

Lol. Well, at least you're open about it.

Obligatory noob warning: don't enter your active non-exposed private keys here (or anywhere else online)

I appreciate the warnings. Anyone naive enough to share their private key is really on their own.

Since you're talking about compromised private keys: what's your policy if different users request funds from the same private key to be forwarded? First come first serve?

Thanks for being openminded. I can understand this tool can be controversial. However, there are different views on ownership of bitcoin.

One could argue that if you use this tool you already have access to the bitcoin linked to it, this just facilitates some automation.

Also there have already been discussions where some consider just having the keys equals legitimate ownership (your keys, your bitcoin) versus others who have a different view on this. I leave this viewpoint open for the user. The disclaimer is to point out I am not responsible for the interpretation of the user.

Regarding your question, indeed it is first-come-first-serve. I should probably add that info on the website!

I gave op a merit. For attempting to disclose accurately the potential wrong his service can do.

He also posted a good thread in meta in an effort to understand why his first topic was deleted.

So basically if his service works you can do a lot of wrong with it.

You also could do some good with it.

I do not trust or distrust him.  The merit is for his effort to follow forum rules.

In a way this is like an AK-47. It can do good by killing a very evil person, but more likely will be used to kill people that are not that evil.

So...

You want us to hand over priv keys to wallet addresses that have already been used, charge us exorbitant amounts of unspecified "fees" (because the mem pool is empty so you can't use that as an excuse to charge high fees...  ) and give us no guarantee that you will actually deliver on your promises?

Got it.

Not "used", but "exposed". Many people already monitor long lists of exposed keys, such as known brain wallets.
For example:

BTC Address: 14NWDXkQwcGN1Pd9fboL8npVynD5SfyJAE
Used passphrase: bitcoin is awesome

Anything it receives is instantly taken (usually with a high fee). Chances are the fastest bot gets his transaction confirmed.
