I have found a different receiving address within my wallet that is not mine... at least I did not create it. It seems to me that all of my transactions are now going to this new address instead of into my wallet. is there anything that I can do to recover these missing or stolen transactions?
In the debug log file on 1/1/18 I found that Bitcoin 12.0 was restarted and this shortly after, among other things:
InitParameterInteraction: parameter interaction: -whitelistforcerelay=1 -> setting -whitelistrelay=1
Seems like someone got in and redirected my transactions. Am I paranoid or did I just get robbed?
I'm not sure but if it is "mine" as part of my wallet then I should still receive the mining transactions into my wallet periodically.... I tried to "choose" between the receiving addresses and could not. If it is a change address then I would think that I would see the transactions within the wallet, but there is no evidence of activity for any address.... I am just not sure how to fix the problem..... – user80788 – 2018-03-29T00:12:47.570
I'm not sure what you mean by "mining transactions". Can you see the transactions in your wallet? You said you found them in your wallet, you seem to be contradicting yourself – MeshCollider – 2018-03-29T00:15:19.757
I found the different receiving addresses under the file tab in my Bitcoin core wallet.... there are sending and receiving addresses found there. As far as any transactions... the last one was on 12/30/17 and there has not been any since. prior to 12/30/17 transaction were received into my wallet about every 3 or 4 days from the mining equipment that I have. – user80788 – 2018-03-29T00:20:59.860
In the debug window of Bitcoin Core under the information tab, I see that the "current number of transactions" within the memory pool is active and growing in number which tells me that my mining equipment is functioning and "processing" bitcoin transactions. – user80788 – 2018-03-29T00:43:07.900
No, you are probably not mining, the number of transactions in the mempool grows because you are connected to the network. To mine you need specialized hardware – MeshCollider – 2018-03-29T00:53:35.513
Well, I spent 1500 bucks on a mining machine that is still running with good and active connections to the network it just seems to be making money for someone else at the moment.. I don't know what's wrong that is why I am on here but I'm about to unplug it and move on. – user80788 – 2018-03-29T01:03:58.280
Well yes if you have a miner then you will need to configure it to pay you, typically you mine for a pool and then the pool will pay you, make sure you set up your configuration correctly. – MeshCollider – 2018-03-29T01:06:05.390
That is what I don't understand, It has been configured correctly and has been working with no issues for over a year and now all of the sudden has quit... I have not changed anything or done anything to alter the original configuration.... one day it's working, the next it's not. – user80788 – 2018-03-29T03:29:56.540
@user80788 If you set everything up yourself you should make some checks. Check the mining pool configuration if you use one, ensure that it is paying to your address. Same thing with the miner. If someone else set it up for you then that could be the problem. – Willtech – 2018-06-26T09:12:37.793
