What the fuck is the matter with you?  This is who sent this:  1m4CXFKcAqhLjKULqZeDDFCV8exBTiKxb  

What, are you stupid?  Can't you read?

Hi,

Sorry I guess I did not quite express my self well enought,  rain falls from the sky, I would not ask from where does the rain fall.  But I could ask why it seemed a bit tinted, or unusual or something like that.  So if someone can get me more info of the source (for exemple if you ar in the recipients, maybe you know who sent the money).  I hope my question is clear, good evening to all.

You should have made your question a bit more clear from the start. What you are asking now is like pretty much what you asked before but in the opposite way. The recipients are on the right of the page, can you read or not? Because it doesn't really seem like it. Other than that, I don't know what you are trying to ask.

He clearly asked who and not what address. Can you people read?

Ignore RawDog. He is a self-professed troll. Sometimes humorous, usually not.

I am not sure you can know who sent it as often times as you know btc is pretty anonymous. Be happy you have coin?
Or ask those you do business with if maybe an error occurred.

the blockchain can be used to show proof of btc transfer...  locality remains and its usefulness still a mystery ..

Looks like bitcoins from Antpool (Bitmain technologies Limited).

Specifically, if you trace the chain of transactions back to the last time there were multiple transactions on an address, you get to this address: 1Gq7YYP8R8qZmpADEXnPArZVZV1P1nEirv
https://blockchain.info/address/1Gq7YYP8R8qZmpADEXnPArZVZV1P1nEirv


Which seems to have had quite a few block rewards transferred to it in the past.

Wallet [0a8ae3613d] (https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/0a8ae3613da41daf) has received several round figure amounts of several hundred BTC each from AntPool, and based on the fact that the tx in question as well as all the tx's that can be traced back to the above address/'wallet' follow the same general pattern of receiving exactly one transaction and then spending that input via a tx with a single input and a large number of outputs, including one very large (in terms of BTC) output that then repeats the previous pattern would lead me to believe that this is a tx that was sent by AntPool, most likely paying out the users who were recently mining on their pool.

Hey,

Many thanks to all and mostly to user "Quickseller" who got the answer I was looking for.   This finally does all make sense,  I was expecting a payment from them only in the morning, they just paid out sooner I guess.  Also, if anyone would like to give a go at my question in mining (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1259040.0) that would really help me.  A nice Sunday to all, Louis

As a general rule I would suggest that you not have more then one person/entity send BTC to the same address. That way you know with a greater amount of certainty as to who exactly a certain transaction/payment came from. This is especially true for if/when you start dealing with people who are less then as reputable then someone like antpool/bitmain

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the S7, nor familiar enough with mining to be able to help you with your other question.  

This is who: 1m4CXFKcAqhLjKULqZeDDFCV8exBTiKxb.  In the Bitcoin world, 'who' is labeled in this way.  Who is not 'Fred Perez'.  'who' is a long alphanumeric. 

btw 'Fred Perez' is just a label of a different format.  It isn't really any more/less of a 'who' than the a Bitcoin who.

This is very stupid.  Making a new address for each transaction is wasteful.  If you do this, we will soon run out of addresses.  It is better to use the same address many times.  Then, transfer those multiple receives to a paper wallet in the cold.  Don't use up tons of addresses for no reason.  This is very wasteful.  We must protect the blockchain and stop over use of too many addresses that don't need to be created for every new transaction. 

Lol. You are funny.

Really funny :).

Run out of addresses ?? i believe addresses are infinite

They are not infinite, there is just so many possible addresses out there that for all intents and purposes, it is infinite.

Please can you clarify more? is the statement "running out of addresses" true or false ?

Its false. There are 2¹⁶¹ possible addresses. 2¹⁶⁰ for the way the hash ripemd160 works and double that for the two possible prefixes '1' and '3'.

Even if every person (assuming 10 billion) on earth uses a million addresses per second it will last ~ 9,268,782,580,738,856,660,348,077 years

Have ya ever heard of the saying "if you've nothing good to say, say nothing at all"  people like you make this world a miserable place.

Run out of addresses, haha.  Wise up,  that guy is thicker than i 1st thought...... ???

Thank you , its clear enough.

Thanks for the info, always good to have things in perspective.  I guess the total number of all bank accounts in the world is so so so much smaller...  This is for sure a good expression of at least one side of bitcoin that is very strong.
