May isang naka pa interesadong thread nung simula pa lang ng Bitcon na kung paano ang isang tao ay nawalan ng 8999
BTC.
Here are the details.
1) Bought 9,000 BTC on one of the exchanges over time.
2) Transferred them to my client running on a linux live CD distro of Debian.
3) Backed up the wallet file to a flash drive.
4) Sent 1 BTC to myself
5) Closed client before any confirmations
6) Shut down system (wiped system disk loaded into memory and therefore the ./bitcoin folder
7) Loaded system back up

Copied old wallet.dat file into ./bitcoin folder
9) After some confirmations appeared the balance was 1 BTC and there was a transaction saying I spent 8,900 BTC to an address I did not recognize
10) I read on the forum threads that people have had problems like this but it seemed only when they were trying to double-spend by sending coins to another address and reloading an old wallet file
Is there anything I can do?
I do have the address that the 8,900 were supposedly sent to but the old wallet file is gone for good.
Thanks,
Stone Man
Sa makatuwid, nagpadala siya ng 1 Bitcoin sa sarili nyang address, isinara nya ang Bitcoin client at nag restore ng dating wallet backup. Ngunit nagtaka sya ng tingnan niya ang wallet, wala ang natitirang 8999 Bitcoin. At napunta ito sa isang address na hindi nya kilala. Pero may backup naman sya ng wallet. Pero dahil nga bago pa lang ang lahat, hindi ito katulad ng mga modern wallet na Hierarchical Deterministic.
Ito ang transaction:

Dahil sa kaso nya, pag gastos nya ng Bitcoin, ang wallet ay gumawa ng isang change address kung saan napunta ang balance na 8999 Bitcoin. Ang hawak nyang backup ay may private key lamang ng wallet na naglalaman ng 9000 Bitcoin, at nung 1 Bitcoin na pinadala nya, ngunit hindi ang change address.
