Title: How to find out who sent me this BTC
Post by: oriel2 on February 26, 2014, 01:12:18 PM
I think I already know the answer to this but someone has sent me some BTC (not a dust transaction either!) and I have no idea who is was! I am new to Bitcoin and am learning all the time. I guess I should have set up a new address for each place I signed up for etc and labelled it? Didnt do that and have plastered one address in many places. But still I am not due a payout from anywhere. Really strange. Is there anyway to get a clue to who it was?

If you search for the address on the blockchain you can sometimes work it out or sometimes they might be signed faucet payout or whatever. Post the address and transaction ID here and somebody might know. You could also try googling the address and see what comes up.

ok thanks! The address was 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k  - how do I find the tx id? is it in the transaction details?

Depending on the wallet you are using, yes, the transaction ID is usually in the transaction details.

Is 1CsdwuS... your address where you received the transaction? Or is it an address associated with the inputs to the transaction that you received?

tx ID is transaction ID

and that yours is propably here
https://blockchain.info/tx/3c461e97a32708a49815f0dacbae32e6cc7f893f042fc24b262e83b38dcb8f5d

did you receive 0.1 BTC? that's very nice gift  ;)

I understand your concern.  It can be dangerous to start giving information to strangers on the internet if you aren't sure what information can be used to hack or steal bitcoins.

It looks like that address has been in use since 2013-11-14

The most recent transaction with that address would be 2014-02-26 09:16:36 UTC when they sent 0.1 BTC to 1BAJ1dk6zs3zDnUzzNCGkbPbrHXzqo1R8a and it looks like that transaction probably sent 0.141 BTC in change to 1PsJqpaWB4HutM2XxsL1JMgg1fieo7Qi7D  (it's possible that I have the change output and the receiving output swapped).

I'm guessing one of those two are the output you received.  If so, then the transactionID is 3c461e97a32708a49815f0dacbae32e6cc7f893f042fc24b262e83b38dcb8f5d (https://blockchain.info/tx/3c461e97a32708a49815f0dacbae32e6cc7f893f042fc24b262e83b38dcb8f5d).

Prior to that, the next most recent transaction sent using bitcoins that were received at 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k looks like it was probably 2014-02-21 11:25:22 UTC. That transaction appears to have sent 1 BTC to 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q.

I don't see any obvious indications as to who might own 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k.  You can see some of the other transactions that they've sent and/or received at the following link:
https://blockchain.info/address/1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k

It looks like they sent bitcoins to 1MvVfW9UofyqAHd8VG7taWJ5KWYxksC8F7 multiple times.

There don't seem to be enough payments for it to be a "faucet", pay per click, or other "free bitcoin" type site.  It doesn't appear to be a mining pool either.  If I find time to look into it a bit closer later, I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

Correct mine was the most recent tx. Strange - just dont understand where it came from!? I would be so grateful if you could find out anymore about who could have sent it  :-\

Maybe someone sent it as anonymous tip from this board or somewhere else you've put your address. It's unlikely for such an amount, but not unheard of. Maybe you said something brilliant on here and somebody felt like tipping you appropriately? ;D

strange thing is I pm'd mrbitty who told me he had given me 0.0001. I also recieved 0.001 from a different address the day before which I presumed was from Mr Bitty

Doesn't your wallet let you see the transaction details,
as well as a link to the block chain with said transaction, as multibit does?


Title: Re: How to find out who sent me this BTC
Post by: oriel2 on February 26, 2014, 09:53:30 PM
yes it does - I have the link on blockchain.info of the tx info - should I post the link here?

It can't do any harm as far as I know, and it'd give people more qualified than you and I to take a look at it.
Many helpful people around here, I'd say do it. Nobody can use that information against you (correct me if I'm wrong).
Atleast I for one wouldn't have any concerns about posting my own transaction links, lots of people do it all the time.

Have you actually asked Mr Bitty? Although I doubt you'll get much sense out of him  :D. Every time somebody asks him something he tends to just post his logo and tell you that he loves you haha.

The most simple way is try googling the address.


Title: Re: How to find out who sent me this BTC

I have googled it but the only results are the blockchain results :-(

If it was in error, the sender might send an amount of dust through to you with a personal message asking for return. I don't know of any other way you could possibly track it, but then some of the Hero Members on here have some serious investigative skills :)

Underneath this is a thread that says "About to get my first .1BTC", and all I can think is that he accidentally sent that to you.  ;)

hardly, that's why bitcoin is anonymous, you can't track people down :D

altough if he is an earner instead of a buyer you might find his adress posted on forums and various sites, google his adress and see what you found..

There is a bitcointalk user katie1348 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=103220) who was last active on this forum on January 15

In their signature line, they've indicated that they accept tips at the address 1kTavPZ5c1G8gDFHEmSimSDFVkG4mybLs

On January 14 (or January 15 depending on your timezone) the person that controls the address 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k sent katie1348 exactly 0.0101 BTC in the following transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/4d1e41bb3890a3beae3f3145a74f9f07766b03921fe8eb389c7e9c724b5c53fd

Perhaps you can send katie1348 a PM and ask them if they know who they received the 0.0101 BTC from on that date?  If they do, then they can tell you who owns that address.



There is a bitcointalk user Porte (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=231219) who was last active on this forum on February 18

In the following post, they've indicated that they control the address 1Lk5Paws9T1YpoSeLeZT7ZeSQKW7UNq4TJ:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450200.msg5188367#msg5188367

On February 16 the person that controls the address 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k sent Porte exactly 0.075 BTC in the following transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/d252a1ab3a0edd7e44c83a81ebcc7c9c3cc02f96fb9d30875ae72333ee40c1d5

Perhaps you can send Porte a PM and ask them if they know who they received the 0.075 BTC from on that date?  If they do, then they can tell you who owns that address.



The controller of 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k frequently sends bitcoins to the address 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q (18 times so far), and they are the ONLY person who has ever (so far) sent bitcoins to the 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q address.  Each time bitcoins are received at the 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q, they are later spent from there.  If I had to guess, I'd say that 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q belongs to either a second wallet that is controlled by the same person as 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k, or is a funding address for some online service.  Either way, if you can figure out who controls 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q you'll probably be able to figure out who controlls 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k.



Good luck in your search.  That's all I have time for at the moment.  Let us know if you manage to figure it out.

And a final balance of 8.39696799 BTC in that wallet.

The following addresses with unspent bitcoins are part of the same wallet as 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k:

There is a bitcointalk user katie1348 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=103220) who was last active on this forum on January 15

In their signature line, they've indicated that they accept tips at the address 1kTavPZ5c1G8gDFHEmSimSDFVkG4mybLs

On January 14 (or January 15 depending on your timezone) the person that controls the address 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k sent katie1348 exactly 0.0101 BTC in the following transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/4d1e41bb3890a3beae3f3145a74f9f07766b03921fe8eb389c7e9c724b5c53fd

Perhaps you can send katie1348 a PM and ask them if they know who they received the 0.0101 BTC from on that date?  If they do, then they can tell you who owns that address.



There is a bitcointalk user Porte (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=231219) who was last active on this forum on February 18

In the following post, they've indicated that they control the address 1Lk5Paws9T1YpoSeLeZT7ZeSQKW7UNq4TJ:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450200.msg5188367#msg5188367

On February 16 the person that controls the address 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k sent Porte exactly 0.075 BTC in the following transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/d252a1ab3a0edd7e44c83a81ebcc7c9c3cc02f96fb9d30875ae72333ee40c1d5

Perhaps you can send Porte a PM and ask them if they know who they received the 0.075 BTC from on that date?  If they do, then they can tell you who owns that address.



The controller of 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k frequently sends bitcoins to the address 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q (18 times so far), and they are the ONLY person who has ever (so far) sent bitcoins to the 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q address.  Each time bitcoins are received at the 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q, they are later spent from there.  If I had to guess, I'd say that 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q belongs to either a second wallet that is controlled by the same person as 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k, or is a funding address for some online service.  Either way, if you can figure out who controls 1MvaQ3Lr86Y1ShmicbP5DefLH81cHhFm4q you'll probably be able to figure out who controlls 1CsdwuSV6vnMM8Bv4ngMS5aWf5zAUhjF4k.



Good luck in your search.  That's all I have time for at the moment.  Let us know if you manage to figure it out.

I have no idea who sent the donation to me.

I assumed that it came from someone on this forum as it is the only place that the address is used.

Perhaps I said something useful to someone.

Bitcoin was meant to be anonymus so finding an owner of an address is like looking for who dropped 10 bucks on the street.

Well it's like somebody sending you it in the mail then. It might have a postmark but you probably won't be able to track the sender down unless you get lucky and spend more time than it's worth investigating  :D, It must just be a payout from one of the sites you used it on.

If you tried and couldn't track down the owner just keep it. No need to stress over some extra BTC.

Everything is possible! It's just very hard

You can even monitor an address to see at witch nodes it broadcast first the transaction and after monitoring it for a while you have only a few IP's on the list of "suspects"

But it is very hard to do that and time consuming especially if it's not in your blood to track people down!

It isn't easy, and it isn't always possible.  It really depends on how careful the sender is as well as how careful the people and business that the sender interacts with are.

Many people post their bitcoin addresses publicly.  Others interact with people or businesses that post their bitcoin address publicly.  Many also re-use the same address more than once.

If you do any of these, then yes, it improves the chances that we can find out who is the sender.

In this case the sender re-used addresses and interacted with people or businesses that post their bitcoin address publicly.

Bitcoin is not anonymous.  Anyone who told you it is was either lying to you or misinformed.  Every transaction can be tracked from address to address until it leads to an address that is public.  Once you get there, you just have to ask that person who they sent to (or received from), and trace the chain of transactions back the way you came.

the most simple way to make your BTC vanish from stalker is to deposit at an exchange all your BTC then buy another crypto that is stable and move the new crypto you've bought at another exchange and sell it for BTC you will loose the fees plus the difference from exchanges but if you are careful you can even finish this process in profit, withdraw the BTC to another address you own!

no one can trace this!

I suspect that in the future, people who believe that this is a guaranteed way to hide the source of their bitcoins are going to be rather surprised at the capabilities of forensic accounting and a lot of computing power.

I deposit BTC and Buy AUR go to another exchange sell AUR for BTC and withdraw to a fresh new wallet.dat made on another pc with another IP and put it on paper wallet .... how they can find out?

IANAFA (I am not a forensic accountant), so I'm no expert in the matter.

One possibility that comes to mind is that they know the total AUR that the deposited BTC can purchase.  They see the depoist from you at the first exchange.  Then they find a transaction (or set of transactions) withdrawing the right amount of AUR from the first exchange.  They follow these transactions through the AUR blockchain until they see them all deposited into the exact same account at the second exchange.  They know the total BTC that the deposited AUR can purchase, so they find a transaction (or set of transactions) withdrawing the right amount of BTC from the second exchange.

In addition they track the source of where you get the initital BTC from, and they track the location that the final BTC are stored or spent.  A subpoena and a search warrant, and they confirm that the bitcoins are yours.

Damn! You're good! even if you are not IANAFA !!!

I have to develop a way to make it secure, maybe building some shady websites where you purchase things that are not shippable and from that websites to deposit the money in different exchanges and withdraw in also more wallets the final amount, if they still can find it at least they will work their asses off!

Wait we can find out who's the senter? I didnt thought that would be possible

It isn't easy, and it isn't always possible.  It really depends on how careful the sender is as well as how careful the people and business that the sender interacts with are.

Many people post their bitcoin addresses publicly.  Others interact with people or businesses that post their bitcoin address publicly.  Many also re-use the same address more than once.

If you do any of these, then yes, it improves the chances that we can find out who is the sender.

In this case the sender re-used addresses and interacted with people or businesses that post their bitcoin address publicly.

Bitcoin is not anonymous.  Anyone who told you it is was either lying to you or misinformed.  Every transaction can be tracked from address to address until it leads to an address that is public.  Once you get there, you just have to ask that person who they sent to (or received from), and trace the chain of transactions back the way you came.

the most simple way to make your BTC vanish from stalker is to deposit at an exchange all your BTC then buy another crypto that is stable and move the new crypto you've bought at another exchange and sell it for BTC you will loose the fees plus the difference from exchanges but if you are careful you can even finish this process in profit, withdraw the BTC to another address you own!

no one can trace this!

daaamn, that's genius :D

IANAFA (I am not a forensic accountant), so I'm no expert in the matter.

One possibility that comes to mind is that they know the total AUR that the deposited BTC can purchase.  They see the depoist from you at the first exchange.  Then they find a transaction (or set of transactions) withdrawing the right amount of AUR from the first exchange.  They follow these transactions through the AUR blockchain until they see them all deposited into the exact same account at the second exchange.  They know the total BTC that the deposited AUR can purchase, so they find a transaction (or set of transactions) withdrawing the right amount of BTC from the second exchange.

In addition they track the source of where you get the initial BTC from, and they track the location that the final BTC are stored or spent.  A subpoena and a search warrant, and they confirm that the bitcoins are yours.

can they track you down if you're using a dynamic IP which changes every day? :D

I'm not sure, but I think I get it. :-\
Back on topic, just keep the coins. There's pretty much next to nothing possibility of finding who those coins belong after that much time.

my coins were at the website when it got hacked, that's all to understand :D

Altough I don't regret it, I'v gotten smarter and I'm not using those kind of websites anymore :D

well, if the sender wanted you to know he sent them he would of told you, just keep them and enjoy them :)
