This is a known address, it's the default example from brainwallet. The person who sent it there either made a donation to the wrong address or made a big mistake, unfortunately.

Can't believe person with such funds is so unreliable to himself Shocked

There are bots to transfer coins as soon as they are deposited!

Just see the time frame...2 BTC deposited and withdrawn within a second Shocked

User "amaclin" is running a bot. He is already running a bot for sweeping Bitcoins from addresses he bought and from addresses whose private keys were leaked.

Is there a thread to this? incase some peoples address he purchased that others can confirm to ditch their address.

its pretty crazy how someone does that.. esp running a bot just for that..

This is the type of low-tech jiggery-pokery that is holding bitcoin back. I'm not sure what current bitcoin devs are doing about this sort of thing but it doesn't seem like the user experience gets much attention when it comes to wallets, clients, paper wallets, and all the various ways to manage personal bitcoins.

I agree on this as well.

I could of made the same mistake as this op, based on the userexperience not making it more easier I guess?

I still find it very hard to figure out certain things, and esp dont know how to do paper wallets like you mentioned as well. But the passphrase yeah there needs to be something on the wallet obvious for me to click like the send and recieve tab or something similar.

Or sets and assign a default password automatically.

This is a pretty amazing error. I cannot imagine someone with 50 BTC making this mistake.

If it is someone new made this mistake... wow would that be one way to make you want nothing to do with BTC.

Well if you think thats bad.

Theres a guy who lost 74 btc doing a normal transaction with localbitcoins for wanting cash. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/got-scammed-on-trading-for-cash-7419-btc-1112060

The short summary is that the guy got his bitcoin, and instead left his laptop and phone which im guessin were part of the plan.

50 btc is to large bro, $14500 lost, call fbi or police cyber crime ! I hope you can getb back your money although is impossible

once its gone, its gone.

theres not much that a fbi, or police cyber crime youre referring to will do much about it besides making a case which wont resolve. its a shame though the security was left as a blank passphrase, so its a huge reminder we need to check our basics and get our self covered.

wow thats insane, someone actually might have made a mistake and lost 15000 dollars just because they sent to a wallet with blank passphrase feeling sorry for him

No one knows whether he is the one who swiped it later.

There are dozens of bots which monitor these addresses.

I know. I just added you into one of "them".

What do you expect the central bankers to do, if someone leaves a briefcase full of cash in open market ?

Because they are using bots that are programmed to pay standard Tx fee.
The winner bot of the double spending race paid highest Tx fee.

All bots paid the same fee. The winner transaction came to the miner first.

I wonder why the other "double spenders" didn't pay more tx fee? They would have more chance to claim it..
