      Edit: I have changed the title of the thread as it didn’t accurately describe the issue.

      I have a transaction withdrawal out of my feathercoin wallet (encrypted) for 384.68644271 coins which I did not place. I have no idea who/what the receivers wallet address is, I have not seen it before. Is it possible I have been hacked? If so, how is it possible with an encrypted wallet on my personal computer. It’s not a lot of coin but I’m pissed/confused. Any ideas?

      The wallet of the receiver is 6fzRTT5MbcHrcLQ4xYsWt1EqXGBs9oPUWp

        Did you let your wallet sync to the blockchain?, that is where your coins are.

        [url=http://explorer.feathercoin.com/block/3a3212f141cd852eb22457c9a7bf69b49568afc30ce54de8e75b09d4a0954ce0]http://explorer.feathercoin.com/block/3a3212f141cd852eb22457c9a7bf69b49568afc30ce54de8e75b09d4a0954ce0[/url]

        We have a blockchain explorer in tools. Crypto currency is a new technology with a lot of different angles. The forum is run by volunteers who are trying to help, develop the network and support the community.

        If you look around we have already provided many tools and guides which we presumed would be required. We’re still improving the forum, so any help by new members is much appreciated.

          Thank you for that.

          Yes, the wallet is synced. The coins were transferred out as it was catching up (it was roughly 18 hours behind) yesterday. The blockchain confirms that the transaction took place to an unknown address. I only have 2 FTC addresses, one is my wallet on my PC, the other address is for my Cryptsy account.

          I’m surprised I have received only one reply, I would have thought there would be more insight.

            Have you checked the explorer to make sure of your balance at each of your accounts. Where was the money that has gone missing? In you wallet or in cryptsy?

              Yes, I only used the Crypsy account on two separate occasions to trade coins and sell into market immediately. The Cryptsy FTC wallet was at 0 at the time of the transaction. Is there any way of uploading a screenshot of the wallet itself to the forum so you can see the transaction as it happened?

                Never mind the screen shot here is the transaction details.

                As you can see I transferred -60 FTC into my Cryptsy wallet. While -384.68644271 FTC went to an unknown address simultaneously!!!

                  Did you run your wallet in server mode, maybe they were sent via JSON.

                  This is something I haven’t done. Are you able to elaborate on how to go about doing this action?

                    Could someone translate for me what’s happened here at the explorer and if there is anything suspicious going on?

                      It looks perfectly normal to me.

                      You have 1 input, and 2 outputs. The input has 444.68644271 FTC, and it’s being sent to two outputs, one of them for 60, which is the transaction you made, and the remainder is 384.68644271, which is 444.68644271 - 60, which we call your ‘change’, like when you get change back from a 20 dollar bill on a 2 dollar item.

                      Now, that change address, you own it. It’s in your client’s wallet. But let me guess: You can’t see it, and you can’t spend it. I’m going to go ahead and guess you’re on a mac?

                        No it’s a windows laptop. If the other address belongs to me as well how/where do I locate it?

                          So I’m right? You sent the 60, and the change isn’t appearing in your wallet?

                          This sounds like a bug in the client where the address isn’t added to the wallet on send. I wonder if 0.8.5 has this problem.

                          Bushstar? What’s your take?

                              Here is a previous transaction where I sent 200 FTC to the same Cryptsy wallet that went without a hitch!

                              [url=http://explorer.feathercoin.com/tx/f3f2d1875caf56f4eabdf64adcef429b8b055bb2e64550268c703e82e94547c6]http://explorer.feathercoin.com/tx/f3f2d1875caf56f4eabdf64adcef429b8b055bb2e64550268c703e82e94547c6[/url]

                              The only thing I can see is you will notice there is a difference in the “Redeemed at input” of the two transactions. The other transaction with the missing coins has “Not yet redeemed”.

                                Ok mystery solved.

                                The change was transferred to a second wallet on another PC that I completely forgot existed from when first starting out with feathercoin.

                                I’d like to thank everybody who posted for their assistance.
