LifeFindsAWay Posted May 14, 2021 #2 Posted May 14, 2021 Since creating my Stake account my BTC wallet has changed at least once... but i don't think thats what is happening here. If you pressed the copy button and a different address is pasted you certainly have malware on your machine. It searches for any bitcoin address that you copy and replaces it with its own. Always, ALWAYS triple check your addresses before sending. I had this exact problem before, I searched the bitcoin address and at the time it had stolen roughly 70 coins worth. I highly suggest you get a good anti virus or use another platform to send coins.

LifeFindsAWay Posted May 14, 2021 #4 Posted May 14, 2021 I installed Sophos home and it resolved the issue for me. It's a tough lesson but I'm glad it wasnt a bigger deposit or withdrawl from a big win Best of luck!
