Topic: Blockchain.info -unused wallet with strange transactions. (Read 2820 times)

From the OP's posts, he didn't mention importing the private key at all...

Looks shady, my advice? Don't use online wallets. They are danger sooner or later.

E-mail blockchain support or the app developer TBH, doubt anyone but them can help you with this.

Very strange though

It is not *his* key! This private key belongs to Dr Evil !

is this fraurd with his private key

OP imported compromised private key to his account

its strange lol

1KEC... address belongs to Dr Evil

Read his post carefully.

1) He created an empty wallet.
2) All of the sudden someone else's transactions appeared in his empty wallet.
3) He never got or sent from the wallet - someone else did.
4) We have proved that he does, in fact, have the private key for this wallet.
5) Yes, someone else has the same private key
6) This someone else is not a hacker, in fact they are probably unaware that our OP has his key.  They are not a hacker because what hacker goes to all the trouble of stealing a private key only to use it for their own personal transactions?
7) I do not think the OP is a hacker either.  If he stole the private key through some key logger as you suggest why would he post here?  Why would he be confused to see transactions in the wallet if he stole the private key?

Most likely scenario is a bug in the wallet creation process that caused two wallets to end up with the same private key.  This is serious.  This bug should be found.  

I had an idea for the OP.  The OP could transfer in a small amount of BTC and then transfer it out right away.  This will cause his transaction to be show in the other person's wallet - confusing them.  Maybe they will show up here.  The OP can also send the other owner a message with the transfer.  In fact we can all try to message him with satoshi transfers containing messages.  Might be worht a tru.

Or could it be something along the lines of a jailbroken iphone infected with malware that is leaking information - like the priv keys??

True and obvious.  However, the question we are pondering here is how did two people get the same private key?  The simplest answer is that there is a problem with the random number generator being used to generate the private keys.

I would remove that address that the btc going to minerace was sent from and make another. Apparently someone else has the key to that address.

He lost me there too. Completely.

What does that have to do with anything lol?

What are you going on about?  You lost me there.

Instead of scratching your head as you said why don't you change your bitcoin address to know what happen' ?

One other thing you can check for the heck of it:

Wallet Home -> Account Settings -> Continue -> (enter wallet main password) -> Continue -> Debugging -> Integrity Check -> Run

I expect it will probably just verify your wallet and be done but you never know...

That message verifies which proves that you do in fact own and control that address, which means your wallet does in fact contain the private key that was used to create the public key and Bitcoin address.

We could verify all the other addresses but I expect that you do have the private keys for all of them.

So, we have to wait for piuk to respond.  Unless someone else has any other ideas?

The message does not verify but I am worried about how you did it because you said you clicked it three times.  However, the fact it worked at all or appeared to work proves that you probably do have the private keys.

Select the same Bitcoin address (1KEC5Qh36YtXDMCtVS8AUgcvVEfDrw4aCC ), enter the text "This is a test message" without the quotes and then sign it once.  Give me the giberish code that is produced and I will check it for you.

it gave me a signature with some code. i clicked sign three times. the last code it gave me was G2VczJPzAG22yIh++0+6jKwQvEW170GUQrhvrNJtMd/aJJU1UZTS3lU/CLmK3s26OnfHFCsb4Ud7Jnl30KrrY2Y=
