Post by: relm9 on July 03, 2014, 05:09:08 AM It looks like the note was attached to the transaction under it.

If so it is rather interesting that all of those funds have now moved. Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: Bit_Happy on July 03, 2014, 05:14:28 AM It looks like the note was attached to the transaction under it. I just checked the individual links and you are correct. The note is part of the tiny transaction. Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: Cranky4u on July 03, 2014, 05:15:57 AM One of Satoshi's wallets perhaps? It is ~US$90M @ current rates

Damn, that would have been some excitement if the note was for the 150K. Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: bitcoin_bagholder on July 03, 2014, 05:30:08 AM Is that supposed to be the DPR stash? If so it is rather interesting that all of those funds have now moved. The DPR is 144K : http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100 Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: NLNico on July 03, 2014, 05:30:47 AM Just BitStamp switching cold wallets (or actually refilling hot wallet with 3K btc it seems?)
Funds are Bitstamp's cold wallet. Quote Check out: https://www.bitstamp.net/s/documents/Bitstamp_proof_of_reserves_statement.pdf https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1EFJUipfCHFmmTFkF9vvjFKdBf3VbfvarM is the cold wallet address according to the pdf. Then follow the BTC a couple transactions further and you will end up at https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1AZVcgGjb64XYzmAXwQyWCmvsZriQoiJw which made the 175k+ BTC transaction. Follow the BTC from the 1AZV address and you will end up at this address. Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached.

Post by: CIYAM on July 03, 2014, 05:37:00 AM The DPR is 144K : http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100 Thanks - so it is the richest single address - I wonder why all the small amounts with messages were being sent to it. Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: NLNico on July 03, 2014, 05:40:00 AM I wonder why all the small amounts with messages were being sent to it. There are many people having a look at the blockchain.info page of an address that big.So these small amounts are just attention whores, beggars hoping some idiot donates to them, people advertising their crappy sites, some even linking to a scamming site, etc. Sometimes the messages are funny though. Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: CIYAM on July 03, 2014, 06:48:46 AM Yeah - mostly just stupid stuff - hadn't even realised that this "top 100" website existed.
It is surprising to me that someone would risk having such a huge amount in a single address. Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: Kprawn on July 03, 2014, 06:59:52 AM Wow that is a awefull lot of coins!
Hopefully not a exchange moving online wallets content to a offshore bitcoin account. ;D Great to see, people are watching the movement of coins on the blockchain.

Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: CIYAM on July 03, 2014, 08:38:02 AM Yes - I get now that the small amounts were being sent in *order to leave graffiti" - funnily enough I was actually one of the people who first requested blockchain.info to allow messages to be added to txs (in order to tag "tasks" for my own system - although I never ended up actually doing that).
Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: Marlo Stanfield on July 03, 2014, 08:53:18 AM So it's not only that address but 11 of the top 12 address and more below that.
So what are these coins, Bitstamp or something? Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: Meuh6879 on July 03, 2014, 10:07:16 AM how people can store all bitcoin in a single adress ... it's insane in this world !
use multi-wallet to store multi-amount (like 15x 10k BTC). Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: TrailingComet on July 03, 2014, 10:33:55 AM Any chance that this is part of the stash confiscated by the US govt?
Unlikely I suppose given the message ;) Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached.

Unlikely I suppose given the message ;) Doubtful that the entity that owns that private key also wrote that message.

Crazy to leave so much in a single wallet though. Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: Justin00 on July 03, 2014, 02:08:14 PM hmmm pretty good answer. I didn't think of that :)

Post by: Justin00 on July 03, 2014, 02:09:38 PM To confirm I mean I didn't think of the answer you suggested..... not I didn't think of sending a tiny transaction with a message in it heh (well i didn't think of that too either i suppose)

Post by: RawDog on July 03, 2014, 02:29:11 PM "Blockchain Graffiti" LOL Crazy to leave so much in a single wallet though. How does one attach a public note 'spam' to the transaction? Can't this be prevented? I hate crypto-begging Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: commandrix on July 03, 2014, 02:34:07 PM Maybe the guy above was buying a mansion and not thinking about revolution at all? Interesting public note though. Revolutions are always messy -- we get a sanitized version of the American Revolution in history books here in the U.S. but I bet dealing with a cold starving army was not fun for George Washington -- and a decentralized one would be worse because how do you know whether the infantry coming toward you is friend or foe.

Seemed to have worked though. He garnered a few donations. https://blockchain.info/address/1AGM3JWQ2TV6diDCRh2KthMb8UdUzy9Agb Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: Aquent on July 03, 2014, 07:52:26 PM It's bitstamp's coins. They come from this address https://blockchain.info/address/1EFJUipfCHFmmTFkF9vvjFKdBf3VbfvarM?offset=0&filter=0 and as can be seen some transactions are withdrawals to bitstamp's audit.

EDIT: I don't think this is actually a DPR address, just one with ~ the same number of coins. Title: Re: Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached. Post by: bitsterr on July 04, 2014, 08:42:13 AM I wonder if this guy is getting ready to dump at the next bubble. send us all back to 2012
