[Xenland]

If you are the owner of 1JWxJG7JNCqfan9NT3xCQXmTCqNHuQJkTb I accidentally sent 1.6833032 BTC to you. If you would be so kind to return it to me thanks

[drakahn]

where did you get the address from? its never been used

[Xenland]

I'm trying to figure that out now, I've ruled out all my messages in my PM box and I checked all recent orders on Bitcoin websites... I have no idea were it came from... so strange.

There was a trojan going around that changed btc addresses in the clipboard to different addresses... can you copy other addresses and they stay intact?

[Xenland]

I checked if i could copy the BTC address and paste it the same and it worked on multiple of them, but I always run Bitcoin on ubuntu linux. I doubt its a trojan and if it is -- its a good one!

[Bitcoin Oz]

Is it a change address ?

[drakahn]

Yeah... is it anywhere in your address book? if it was a change address the coins would still be in the wallet...

[pekv2]

I just checked my address's and transactions. Nothing found.

[Xenland]

I see it in my addressbook, but I tried to sign something with the address and the GUI client said I don't have the private key... So I know i don't own it 

[teflone]

send it again to here

Lets see if it works...

which part of the address book? receiving or sending? it may be an address you saved to send something to and never did (maybe some site that has multiple deposit addresses like glbse?)

[drakahn]

i see its moved, did you do a transaction of 24.211626 BTC to 1K5SZQkvhwSd3m2xzenizcmYJ9tnUt52W5 ?

if not, you want to find the owner of one of its inputs

If you are the owner of 1JWxJG7JNCqfan9NT3xCQXmTCqNHuQJkTb I accidentally sent 1.6833032 BTC to you. If you would be so kind to return it to me thanks

Why did you send exactly that value?

Because on the outputs of the tx that the poster above me discovered there are other 2 addresses that got that same amount that was sent to them and is now being used as an output. Maybe a clue

1JWxJG7JNCqfan9NT3xCQXmTCqNHuQJkTb (1.6783032 BTC - Output)
1FSGYYVZ6ZaA9pptm1vWU2rGGRBYrxqGrQ (1.6783032 BTC - Output)
1CHRmNAdkScEoErgjZswa4ojFrF6xB6Ka4 (1.6783032 BTC - Output)

Coincidence? I don't think so lol

Also, if you notice, https://blockchain.info/address/1K5SZQkvhwSd3m2xzenizcmYJ9tnUt52W5 sent a 5 BTC transaction and sent the change back to the same address.

I sent exactly that amount to CINFU for domain registration and transfers two transactions to 1FSGYYVZ6ZaA9pptm1vWU2rGGRBYrxqGrQ and 1CHRmNAdkScEoErgjZswa4ojFrF6xB6Ka4 addresses I sent to cinfu for that stuff. hmmm maybe CINFU have my lost coins... 1JWxJG7JNCqfan9NT3xCQXmTCqNHuQJkTb

[Xenland]

I opened a ticket to see if they owned that address, I provided them with screen shots and tons of information to help me with the investigation process.. Thanks for your input guys I don't know how to  follow the block chain well on a visual scale like most people can with blockchain.info and stuff

Agreed, it's pretty cool. Google's spiders have many legs.

or using Chrome browsers as spiders, this way if multiple Chrome users viewed non-indexed page they figure it's of some importance

I bet they use some kind of hashing to save on space when it comes to checking "newness" too

[pekv2]

It's annoying when google grabs the printedpage; crap.
