Title: High level of activity in Top 100 addresses
Post by: davidgdg on December 03, 2013, 10:57:24 PM
Of the top 100 addresses, the first 57 have all shown activity within the last 10 days. Is this usual? They can't surely all be exchange wallets?

I'm the author of the site.  I just recently started updating the list more frequently.  Most of the transactions are people spamming the address with .001 bitcoins and adding a note as you can see here:  https://blockchain.info/address/1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPH or by clicking on the address at the top of the page here http://bitcoinrichlist.com/address/1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPH?charttype=balance  Eventually I plan on making the last transaction field more accurate by only looking at transactions > 1 BTC or something but for now this will have to do.

Thanks for making things clear. What they are going to get in return by spamming the DPR Seized wallet?  ;D

That'd be scary if they were all owned by exchanges.  :(

I don't think the majority of them are owned by exchanges. How many exchanges will be there who hold more than 10K bitcoins? I don't think that the number is more than 10 (10% of the top 100).
