Title: Is BitWise getting wise with Bitcoiners? Post by: BitcoinCanSaveUsAll on February 17, 2024, 10:45:02 PM Ok so has anyone else noticed that within just a few days after they moved their Bitcoin from their Coinbase custodied P2PK address ( 1CKVszDdUp4ymGceAZpGzYEFr4RPNHYqaM ) to their current SegWit address lists that are posted to https://bitbetf.com/ that there's already a discrepancy? I guess Wall St is going to try to Wall St even if we know they're fibbing. I mean as per my node currently the addresses they've posted (as of 17 Feb 1700 UTC) are as follows:

This is a substantial difference! If you look at it in USD then the amount of difference is $20,576,416.54 at $51,000 per Bitcoin or rather 740,292.0143486239 shares of the ETF assuming the amount of BTC per BitWise ETF is in fact set to .000545 BTC per share as indicated on the bitbetf.com site. Either way I think it's important to watch these folks as closely as we can and to report any discrepancies ASAP for community awareness and vetting. From my standpoint it's more likely that they either somehow posted the wrong total, or forgot to add the new address however that seems unlikely as it seems pretty clear that they're stacking 1500 Bitcoin in each address and the last one (bc1qgrjjf3xaf9ejmm5lcsfl0e2ep63t6zcxf7h9sw) currently has 1114.33071307 BTC. Any thoughts? Title: Re: Is BitWise getting wise with Bitcoiners?

Post by: BitcoinCanSaveUsAll on February 20, 2024, 07:07:30 PM Update: As of 13:27 UTC today my node now shows an inbound transaction of 403.46540998 BTC received to address bc1qh9xvgsqh648q7kyq2d0uu90e7tv6ph46rjjy3n
I am however a bit confused. How exactly did my node associate the new address to the watch only list in my node as the last command I entered was only the following and so it did not include the new address that shows this inbound transaction. importmulti '[ { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qsshluxkwzf3ksnm5gh8wpzt453x75f2gn6dlqw" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qjjwhdve94cvg3d69shjrczn7wgqc8esujm72w8" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qxyzs02t7gdd9n203ucy03m0yw5zzllyn2k49hm" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qznvrh6eq0k88hwu9g44hk4mw5kemap3pmmljza" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1q0gepug33c0tp6hf7l2f23ve9m0a0t7sv5ylwdx" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1q9nzr8tzsx8pyk25ufps22p6un4k2y3ymh9lmze" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qgfqd5dyj6l9s2djwjjhg87tjjtzlshw5egkfct" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qdeurgks0dfqdeetvelhykuh90753swsy8k9kaz" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qzq39c6k0k3mxtqyuz342u774csrtljk4xhjvql" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qadu6va2re2slfxf7wxxrj30aknj954h7w6zh0g" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1q46dggcuwgftce2uywx23fp4jq6xqda4xa8tuwh" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qxaqt6jynlh2z4c5ajhdwyr5qa3yqykytwvuml0" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qfa5x969js5lxn2vetql8ajerjcrn43hja56ex9" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1q4x6el3tkests79gvf2vkz2revw47r2n5s50uku" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }, { "scriptPubKey" : { "address": "bc1qgrjjf3xaf9ejmm5lcsfl0e2ep63t6zcxf7h9sw" }, "timestamp" : 0, "label" : "" }]' '{"rescan":false}' Clearly somehow the node understood that this new address is associated to this group of addresses in the watch only list but I don't understand how it was able to do so. Furthermore I see that the following transactions occurred in the following order which further confuses me but perhaps makes sense to others here: Status: 28 confirmations Date: 2/20/2024 13:27 From: unknown To: bc1qh9xvgsqh648q7kyq2d0uu90e7tv6ph46rjjy3n (watch-only) Credit: 403.46540998 BTC Net amount: +403.46540998 BTC Transaction ID: 808400b94672ec7231371432706cda38f2356e9b5435917d287349d223578d26 Transaction total size: 1113 bytes Transaction virtual size: 548 bytes Output index: 0 Status: 27 confirmations Date: 2/20/2024 14:00 From: unknown To: bc1qh9xvgsqh648q7kyq2d0uu90e7tv6ph46rjjy3n (watch-only) Credit: 0.00006048 BTC Net amount: +0.00006048 BTC Transaction ID: 1ae01f4f3d68a08658fbf03149ed20dab83e8a775d6e412e23ded991e4de85ac Transaction total size: 246 bytes Transaction virtual size: 165 bytes Output index: 0 Status: 25 confirmations Date: 2/20/2024 14:03 From: watch-only To: bc1qgrjjf3xaf9ejmm5lcsfl0e2ep63t6zcxf7h9sw (watch-only) Debit: -403.46540998 BTC Credit: 403.46540998 BTC Total debit: -403.46540998 BTC Total credit: 403.46540998 BTC Transaction fee: -0.00006048 BTC Net amount: -0.00006048 BTC Transaction ID: efa697ee815ee0d2b4840c436836efd5c94fc550d0da55a9513ecfef2562e68f Transaction total size: 340 bytes Transaction virtual size: 178 bytes Output index: 0 The last transaction seems to be an address that their site has already posted to previously ( bc1qgrjjf3xaf9ejmm5lcsfl0e2ep63t6zcxf7h9sw ) and it seems like that's where the current 403.46540998 BTC are located and as such my node's watch list currently matches the total amount of BTC that BitWise shows on their site (https://bitbetf.com/) however as I said I'm confused how my wallet knew to associate the transaction today to address bc1qh9xvgsqh648q7kyq2d0uu90e7tv6ph46rjjy3n when it was never imported into the node as watch only address. Any input here would be much appreciated. Title: Re: Is BitWise getting wise with Bitcoiners? Post by: franky1 on February 20, 2024, 08:17:13 PM each basket is about 1500btc to then trigger the ETF to then create a basket of shares to then sell shares on the ETF
previous day bc1qgrjjf3.. only had (1114) so needed ~386 to get to a rounded 1500. so receiving 403 from bc1qh9xvgs to more than hit the threshold(+17btc) id say your node didnt pick up bc1qh9xvgs... magically but picked up that bc1qh9xvgs sent the 403 it received to bc1qgrjjf3 so your node was jsut displaying the orgins that 403 ended up in known bc1qgrjjf3 came from bc1qh9xvgs Title: Re: Is BitWise getting wise with Bitcoiners? Post by: BitcoinCanSaveUsAll on February 20, 2024, 08:29:36 PM Here's the log output of my node which seems to show it knew the address was associated to the wallet:

Title: Re: Is BitWise getting wise with Bitcoiners? Post by: franky1 on February 20, 2024, 09:41:03 PM there most likely was a a RBF then a CPFP to push it in..
thats why they got updated. in your log i have not bothered to check the transactions nor fees. nor care to.. but it just seems like the most sensible answer it probably might be just your node.. and how it just logs things EG your node watching ALL the blockchain, all transactions... but triggered at 14:03 by the bc1qgrjjf3xaf9ejmm5lcsfl0e2ep63t6zcxf7h9sw efa697ee815ee0d2b4840c436836efd5c94fc550d0da55a9513ecfef2562e68f at 14:03.. your node then seen where funds came from to THEN at 14:03 add in previous txid to wallet. but logged the time they were first relayed. not live.. but after the fact meaning your logs only caused data entry at 14:03 but wrote about times it previously received |
