Bitcoin Forum

While i was on the blockchain homepage i randomly clicked on one of the recent transactions
it lead me to this wallet https://blockchain.info/address/1GX28yLjVWux7ws4UQ9FB4MnLH4UKTPK2z

Weird looking one... total received 50 million dollars..

The interesting part is the payments received though, there is some sort of pattern

Any idea who or what could own this wallet?

I don't think anyone would know except the receivers and senders.

I'm guessing that would have to be an exchange. One input with 700 BTC going to hundreds/thousands of other addresses, that isn't a normal transaction for an individual or small group. At first I thought it was FACTOM but the amounts are too large, so my best guess is it's an exchange wallet.

It seems to be tainted with coins from Mt Gox. It could be some of the stolen BTC, though even if it is I doubt the current owner has any idea.

Maybe a trading wallet, or mixer wallet. We don't know who has that wallet except the sender. You can manipulate your total received if you send and receive again and again.

I guess it's a cloud mining company ....... ;D

There is no such thing as 'taint'. A bitcoin is a bitcoin.  No matter if it was just used to kill the president of Laos.  The notion that bitcoins get dirty and less good based upon their prior use - is completely silly.  When someone hands me a 100Euro note - I don't give a damn what nefarious transaction it was used for last week.  That 100 note looks the same amount of green to me. 

My guess would also be an exchange with the number of different addresses those are going to.

it seems, that it is jump address for this one: https://blockchain.info/address/1KFHE7w8BhaENAswwryaoccDb6qcT6DbYY which belongs to some big-ass chinese mine https://www.f2pool.com/

uhh those chinese guys..

I guess it belongs to pool. I've noticed few addresses linked with few members here.

yes, we should notice the warning, that this bitcoin address contains transactions which may be double spends. You should be extremely careful when trusting any transactions to or from this address.

How can there be double spends on there after several conformations? I thought they would be wiped if they didn't get into the longest chain..

my guess is that the owner of that wallet can be a company like a bitcoin exchange or a mining company

a huge pool or more likely an exchange. there are more wallets like this where there were so many receiced coins. nothing special.

Mtgox's address.
You may check those addresses via https://www.walletexplorer.com/

That a mining company you can ceck at here
https://blockchain.info/taint/1GX28yLjVWux7ws4UQ9FB4MnLH4UKTPK2z
50% total transaction from this address
https://blockchain.info/address/1KFHE7w8BhaENAswwryaoccDb6qcT6DbYY

and you can see that address use from mining bitcoin
example this Tx Id this is Solo mining reward

I see a lot thing like this, maybe even has a bigger amount of Bitcoin.
But, I don't really care about it 8)

Yes im bored, i have nothing to do, so i come here and post s*** when im high.

This is not true. The "wallet" MtGoxAndOthers on walletexplorer.com is essentially a catch all wallet for addresses that are linked together from coinjoin-like transactions. As more and more 'wallets' use coinjoin like services they will most likely be linked to that wallet.

Walletexplorer.com really should use some kind of filtering to attempt to exclude coinjoin-like transactions when spend linking addresses together.

The address appears to be likely either belonging to F2Pool, or a miner who mines on F2Pool, however IMO the chances are probably greater that it belongs to the former considering that many inputs that it spends are roughly 25 BTC (the likely block reward that f2pool receives from finding blocks) and that it spends the entire amount of inputs associated with the address (e.g. does not give change back to itself, and spends multiple inputs), yet it receives multiple transactions from what is likely f2pool, and appears to spend funds to a large number of addresses, likely to their miners.

DiscusFish. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Like some of the previous replies have said, it has got to be a business of some kind. I doubt so much that this is anybody's personal wallet.

At first glance it reminded me of one of them "Your BTC times 100" ponzi  websites when you view their transactions.

There's  a number of logical explanations for it though mind you.

The wallet belongs to somebody called MtGoxAndothers. Bitcoin can e a dangerous tool too, as it cannot be tracked. But there is nothing in this world that is not hackable, nothing could always stay protected, no walls are so high that they can never be climbed.

I accidentally sent almost a btc to a wallet that leads to this adress, have contacted the admin for F2pool to hope it's their adress, but he says no

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1197747.new#new (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1197747.new#new)

thats only because you dont know what nefarious transaction have been done with that note.

Very random thread. It's amazing the amount of coins transactioning about when you see the huge wallets such as those  :D

its discus fish.. end of debate

Where do u do this tain analyses?

it looks like I've seen this address, it looks like gambling site owner or cloud mining owner.

Who knows. I hope my address can have that much.

People seem to think it is this guy here ...

This is the first time I see such warning:


I'm not sure how to understand this. Does it mean we should just wait for more confirmations? And if yes, then how much would be enough?

no, i really look for the owner since it got my btc that went wrong

F2Pool

I asked the admin of f2pool, he said no

i agree, but a total received amount like that must be owned by some serious investors, i wouldnt want to know they sway they would have if the dumped some btc D:

Why is bitcoin.com's ad payment address in that list?

https://blockchain.info/address/1AHY8puC5G7jqfQS53ufbmCMHYWPpMLfRW

Well, what if somebody handed you 100 note which had its serial number tracked back to an undercover sting operation which was in charge of uncovering terrorist cells by tracing where the money went within the network?  Fungibility shouldn't be an issue but it can be sometimes.

I accept tainted bitcoins to 19hyum5jc4QpX9zPaYELtEys4umaL4aKhF (and 100 euro notes by post)  ;D

most probably those are somehow stolen coins or something like that also such huge amount of money must have been sent by a very rich person or a crime maker in my opinion

i actually doubt that any one will know whose is this address except for the owner, though it also might have been a huge bitcoin mining company that invested a lot and now mine a lot

My browser couldn't handle that number of transactions. (Guess I should get additional memory.  :D)
That's quite overwhelming.

Bitcoin transactions are anonymous so no one know that who is the owner of this address, even the sender to this address is also not aware that actually what is the name and contact address of that person.

Its a bitcoin talk forum,  i dont think youre informing anyone of anything by pointing that out.

I like to review interesting wallets like this but more often than not they are just exchanges.

what pattern?i dont see any something weird or not ormal,its just a big amount of bitcoins on bitcoin wallet and have received bitcoin each day. i wish can have that amount someday ;D so anyone can trace who's have that address?

it def has to be an exchange, or a gambling site but i would def say its an exchange :D.......

perhaps it is a wallet belonging to bill gates.. ;D ;D

Closed my account on F2Pool and got my last scrap of BTC from that wallet.

If what you claim is true then that means its from mining pool, an exchange wallet can  also be the case but they always retain some balance to pay off withdrawals.

Interesting. During all this time, It always kept a balance close in BTC, but was sometimes emptied. Which demonstrates that it is a cold wallet address of some company that needs to be easily auditable.

The reality will not be far from what every other commenters have said, the wallet may belong to an exchange or a cloud mining company cause this are the only two such that is capable of receiving huge deposits as this. But the i identity can only be proved by only the sender or the receiver since we operate a decentralized system of transactions on blockchain.

Bitcoin wallets can be trace but no one knows it is belong to who. But someone owns this wallet who may working he/she freelance and accept payment for BTC. It may or it may not...

no way to know, you can never be sure if even anybody says 'I own that address" - but may be it is the address for any mining company or any whale, or any exchange.

There is no doubt on my side that this wallet belong to an exchange.
This huge number of bitcoin is really normal with some exchange.
But still there will be noone to know exactly but the person who holds the password/private key of the wallet.

I think that large amount belongs to a large investor who is in cryptocurrency to get a profit. it is not a strange thing in crypto, that is natural because in crypto, especially bitcoin has a lot of investors with large amounts of money.

Good question. Unfortunately, almost no blockchain explorer (think of walletexplorer.com, ethplorer.io etc.) gives you that info.  :-\ Even advanced blockchain investigation tools such as c-hound.ai do not have public address labeling (big exchanges are not taken into account - everybody knows them), at least for now.
