Here's another update to my previous posts. Some background about me: I bought a bunch of bitcoins way way back. And I only recently opened my bitcoins after ignoring it for years and letting it sleep. I am not familiar with crypto at all and I understand why some people are skeptical. This is my story. And why I am asking for help on the following: How did that unauthorized transaction happen? Was I compromised? Is it Ledger? Do I really have access to the 9.9 BTC? Is it still under my control? Is there a way to retrieve it? I have included pictures of the glitch in my screen in response to those doubting that it was user error or my imagination. I modified the pictures to hide the room I am in but I have the timestamps in my phone to prove it. I am finally including pictures. I held off sharing the photos but after ruling out all possibilities, the glitch is the only thing that no one has been able to explain (not their fault) as I feel I have not been describing the glitch accurately. LINKS TO OTHER POSTS: My original post: April 2: (Updated) Follow up posts: April 2 (after learning about UTXOs). I shared a diagram as to how I understood UTXOs with fake bitcoin amounts and no transaction IDs. I initially did not want to share that I had 20.xx BTC in my Ledger in that post, but some Redditors who read my other posts and transactions, followed my transaction IDS, and deduced the amount of BTC I have correctly in one of the comments. So please stop saying I'm being scammy. What I am is confused and afraid. I am also learning as I go along the way. RECAP In my Ledger, there are four recorded transactions:
EDIT To save people time from checking each transaction and for those who keep saying I am making it up and wont bother even reading it in the blockexplorer, here is the summary of the inputs and outputs of each transaction. Out of the four, I did not authorize transaction 473ac[], which occurred 4:20 PM here in my screenshot. Last April 2, at 3:37PM, I sent a test amount via 7fb642de8d4e4ef2b4982ea387998a8a7b209d1cfc91255257fbfbc34d0be2e0. It took a while for me to receive the change 0.99993147 BTC. At 3:59PM, this prompted me to send another test amount 340f66cc4c770dda485be641e6aaf186ea82003adf614ddf4636e3242ae549a1 At this point, my Ledger Live showed 18.89996147 BTC. I still have not received the change from 7fb[] or the app is still not showing the change. I was examining the transaction ID and addresses to figure out what's going on. And then my Ledger Live screen started glitching. 4:01PM, after I have done the transaction 340f66cc4c770dda485be641e6aaf186ea82003adf614ddf4636e3242ae549a1 and sent out .1 BTC. The screen started showing I have MORE bitcoins than I know I own. A few seconds later: 4:16PM, I checked I I received bitcoins to explain the sudden increase, nothing.
At around 4:21 PM the glitch happens AGAIN. The timestamp of my picture showed 4:21PM but the glitch occurred a before that. The numbers started changing in my screen. I was looking at my balance in BTC and now it switched to dollars. Please note I have not changed the view to reflect dollars. I was just looking at this area, wondering why I have added BTC. Picture below is not what I actually saw, just sent a screenshot to show you where my attention was at. I also had to find the settings to change my view from dollar to BTC. As this was happening, at 4:20PM, in my Latest Operations, I noticed an unauthorized transaction going ahead with transaction ID 473acbde21b24cbec4cda942c5499980f990f3e88a19a4f91e4ec7b227d09d73 In my Ledger Live app, it did not show any "to" address. It only showed: Transaction ID and From. In the Latest Operations, it also did not show any transaction ID. Please note I did not authorize this from my device. I am also not familiar with the address bc1q4v9kwtvsu7whdnk4qg3dgtdwwlmq2mkym0tvk9, which contains the 9.9 BTC. At 4:34 PM, I initiated clearing out my wallet a426390bfa68d96cbe9f00a4a8e7a6cd5dc001846262d66da454be275d3f8f06 Afterwards, I decided to clear the cache repeatedly. Then the 0.99993147 BTC change from 340f66[] appeared in my Ledger Live. This has been extracted from my wallet safely. As of today, I am still trying to retrieve the 9.9 BTC from the unauth transaction 473acbde21b24cbec4cda942c5499980f990f3e88a19a4f91e4ec7b227d09d73 The photos prove what I went through. That screen glitch is what's not making me rest on this topic. If anyone experienced something similar, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I am still waiting for support to contact me and explain what went on. EDIT: How did that unauthorized transaction happen? Was I compromised? Is it Ledger? Do I really have access to the 9.9 BTC? Is it still under my control? Is there a way to retrieve it? [link] [comments] |
