Beside the api thing, did you guys use a wireless lan connection?
If somebody logged in from your ip its just logical that there cant be logs except for the mac address and even that can be spoofed.
An attacker can indeed hack the wlan network and from there into your pc, and no, this is not fiction.

Your MAC isn't exactly exposed to websites you connect to. That's how network work. If someone logged in from his IP, it would show that someone logged in from his IP, which did not happen. Also, that is stupid to say that someone can get control of someone's PC just because they "hacked" the wireless network, which you said wasn't secured in this example so not a lot of hacking would go on, lol. Windows 7 has network discovery and file sharing turned off by default so no, it's not quite that simple. Plus, the PC would still have an antivirus. Plus, two people that live within wireless range of each and one being a "hacker" and both using bitcoins is astronomically improbable.

Havent been into this soo much but not so long ago you could exploit wps routers with a reaver attack bruteforcing the key what exactly took 16 hours. WEP takes 15 minutes, idk but i can imagine there are ways nowadays to bruteforce wpa2 effectively. One minute on google got me this: http://technicdynamic.com/2011/12/hacking-wpa-2-key-evil-twin-no-bruteforce/

So much about win 7 is safe: http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/09/critical-zero-day-bug-in-microsoft-internet-explorer/
