[PSA/Article] DONT DEPOSIT TO BLACKBANK

Blackbank reuses deposit address's. I sat around all day today just clicking "change address" and waiting until I found reused address. So far Ive cashed out over 2BTC from people depositing to their old address thinking they haven't changed. Admins need to fix this.

So stupid people are using addresses they no longer own? Ok.


[5 Points] None:

I can't figure out why they would reuse addresses? It is one call to generate a new one in the BTC daemon.

Neat hack, OP. You should try to give the money back or donate it to erowid or something.

Time to check my blackbank account!

edit: .005 BTC. I'M RICH BITCH!

Actually, I made that deposit.


[4 Points] DnmAvenger:

That doesn't make any sense... maybe a little. But what does that have to do with depositing if I know the address is right?


[1 Points] None:

It is technically not a problem. Reusing addresses helps anonymity as it is difficult to prove who deposited to the address. History of which addresses were used for deposit is not a good idea even for old addresses. Any association of an old address to an account should not be linked. This would mean that any deposits to an old address by accident would be lost permanently.

So hey, OP... wanna share some of those dirty coins? Clear your conscious by getting me high ;)


[1 Points] None:

thats why I always send 5 cents prior to any actual deposit, just to test the system.


[1 Points] None:

So you just "changed adresses" till you found one with money in it then withdrew that money??

Is the site really that poorly designed?!


[1 Points] HighOnFireOnHigh:

Another guy posted on a thread about this a couple days ago that he had 20 coins randomly show up in his blackbank account obviously due to this issue. It was in a buried thread and it didn't seem to me when I asked him about it that he was bullshitting. 5000 dollar lotto winner. With people new to BB PLEASE be careful and don't save the old address.

So if i keep clicking change address i can get free money? This should be advertised as a feature!

Somehow I doubt you did.

This can be done on any market.

Why would you post about this? You wouldn't have to buy btc for a while!


[-2 Points] Thoughtsofamaniac:

So basically, you waited to let everyone know until you'd already scammed ~$500-$600 from other people (stupid people yes but still people who probably come here) and then made a big to do post to close the scam loophole for any other scammers?

So basically, you fucked over two opposing populations with one post?

Congrats OP you are the Scumbag Steve most internet scammers only aspire to be.
