☢ The Voiden Blockchain Exploit (Double Your BTC) {Leaked 15/01/16} ☢

Hello all, I am Voiden, some of you might know me from the cryptocurrency forums.

Until very recently I was working for a company that will remain unnamed (for now) that's working on yet another alternative cryptocurrency (not BTC) In our research our main goal as a team was to find a way to make the traditional block-chain model capable of having a dispute or complaint system, essentially we were looking for a way to have reversible crypto payments whilst being anonymous. Long story short we stumbled upon a rather odd address that we can only assume was a testing address for the early days of Bitcoin. We found that when you sent 0.01 to 0.1 BTC through the address, about 120 minutes later you'd receive double what you sent.

We couldn’t understand why this was happening, we followed our change through the blockchain, but it was no help. So basically, we abused this exploit, at first it was confined to just our team, but then it snowballed and the whole office started doing it. Then one day our boss must of found out because he fired 3 of us without any forewarning, completely out of the blue.

I've decided to release this exploit, to sit back and watch the company in question reaction.. I've still got friends on the inside. Lets see if any-more heads will roll for a human mistake with no downside.

I've also decided to name this “The Voiden Blockchain Exploit” as releasing to the public will be my legacy to this community
I don't want an apology, I want retribution for losing a job that meant alot to me, for something anyone would do.

    Interesting attempt, but still an obvious scam. BTC address removed and user banned, keeping this thread up for reference though. We don't tolerate scams around here.

    That's right folks, step right up to the magic wishing well that gets so angry when you throw money into it, it throws even more money back at you!

    This type of hole in the ground is the sort of thing that works until it gets popular and then suddenly it runs out, because in reality it's a scam and the "doubling" that happens for early takers is the bait.

    No proof of that, just has that same old easy money stink about it. If you're still interested in throwing in your money, you're welcome to track down the address other places on the internet.

    They were pretty lazy actually, the address had zero transactions in it so their story of it doubling anything you put in didn't match up at all lol.

    I'll be "a-voiden" (ba-ha-ha) this scam.

    I can't tell if it's ballsy or stupid to use such an obviously scammy premise. Where would the "extra" BTC come from to double each input?
