Topic: Need help with block chain analysis to try and recover lost 3btc (Read 1100 times)

What's your address

Hi Guys,
           I sent bit coin worth $210 to this address 1PiAHUX6Z5kTYKS1zi8jzYQZiiCdxVJGLh. Thia address did not receive the funds and my account has been debited. Can someone help me recover this lost funds, not really good with bitcoin. This transaction took place on blockchain.info

thanks

Nice work!

A rare case of coins found and returned? Awesome.

This is solved: I exchanged PM with CryptoMiner about 15KUecgaW2x4tDwRWfpnMJxq4RRJ5Z7fQN.

Also noteworthy, the entity that controls all those addresses has received many payments from someone who has been using a vanity address of:
1Mining2pfZRiFxGBQ6Jw8YNheUkHhyMfn

Bitcointalk user "tatsuchan" also received a payment from 1Mining2pfZRiFxGBQ6Jw8YNheUkHhyMfn as recently as 2012-02-29 in the following transaction:

Bitcointalk user "digital" also received a payment from 1Mining2pfZRiFxGBQ6Jw8YNheUkHhyMfn as recently as 2012-02-29 in the following transaction:

Bitcointalk user "BrimStone" also received a payment from 1Mining2pfZRiFxGBQ6Jw8YNheUkHhyMfn as recently as 2012-02-28 in the following transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/c83ac283f35bc18486e293f4fe2b69c4962de046bc3ae9b4add24bb9a25a0bbf

Perhaps tatsuchan, digital, bigb159, or BrimSton can tell you who is using the address of 1Mining2pfZRiFxGBQ6Jw8YNheUkHhyMfn, and if so, then perhaps that person can tell you who controls the address 15KUecgaW2x4tDwRWfpnMJxq4RRJ5Z7fQN

Here's a start, I'll see what else I can figure out tomorrow.


Most likely the following addresses are all under the control of the same entity:
15KUecgaW2x4tDwRWfpnMJxq4RRJ5Z7fQN

You mean pseudonymous, right?  Bitcoin doesn't supply anonymity without some effort from the user.

What are you even asking, and how does it apply to this thread?

How did someone get your address?

Ohh it might be ultra hard.

Because as you know Bitcoin wallets are annonymous.

I dont see any method how possibly you can get it back.

Just find a company over internet with their wallet address and beg

I need someone good at studying the block chain to help me identify anything relevant that can help me recover the 3.2btc I accidentally sent to this wallet 15KUecgaW2x4tDwRWfpnMJxq4RRJ5Z7fQN, thinking it was one of my receiving wallets. Turns out it was an address I sent funds to way the hell back in 2011. I'm a moron, I know.

Well, I'm hoping someone with more experience can take a more technical view of the chain and turn up for information than I can interpret.

The lucky person realized the gain (money from heaven) since they already swept the funds into an account that's very active with over 30btc in it. Looks like a business account. If it is, maybe I have a chance to get funds back. As long as we can figure out what business.

Since I haven't sent funds into this wallet since 2011, it took a lot of thought to try and think what it could be and it hit me. It's probably an instawallet (Paymium) address. Believe it or not, I reached out to Boussac and he said he was looking into it and would get back to me. The funds were moved thereafter so I am certainly hoping for good news.


I would certainly offer some of the lost funds as bounty if we can get them back. I would of course offer a nice tip from the direct source for doing the right thing.
