Can anyone explain me what is this?

217,517.63438199 BTC transfer but from whom and to where??

I cannot.  Wink twins proving they have a button of BTC?

Gox coins..?

I dunno any more good theories?

I'm no expert but a glance at the inputs suggests (to me) the accumulation of many, many smaller amounts followed by moving larger total amounts around.

If a lot of people "lost" some bitcoin then I guess tomorrow will bring misleading "BTC hacked" headlines <sigh>

What less sinister explanations are there?

They say to bitcoin irc channel that is a bitstamp adress. Maybe they change wallet who knows.

Bitstamp.

They do this from time to time.

It's Bitstamp proving they're solvent.

Yup. Bitstamp Audit.

It's those last 99 satoshis I'm suspicious of. 99 isn't random. It's a message. Eleven nines, 3 thirtythrees, 99 red balloons... OMG that's it....

No, that's not your business. All BTC transactions are private.

One private key to secure 80mill, eeek.

why is bitstamp so cheapskate?

why did they only pay 10k satoshi as a transaction fee?

if I was a miner I wouldn't confirm this transaction ;D

But on the other hand, 100% of your resources protecting one very precious key, or 1/80th of your resources each protecting a million dollar key?

Perhaps they were proving a point? That they can move millions for such low fees. Even more so, they didn't need to even pay fees, due to the sheer size of the transaction it would've had the highest priority.

sorry. I dont mean to crash the private transactions of bitcoin just ask if there is something that we must worry about. The transcactions are private but is public.

Well, in that case, we should e-mail "Western Union" that says; "Hey dude, How much you charge to send 82 mil USD"
Probably they would say "A LOT".
Then we can reply; "Hey dude, we already did it just for 4 cents".

This would be hilarious...

I don't think they would need to take the risk of moving the coins to prove a point. The fact that Bitcoin has low fees can be proven in the blockchain and in the protocol. If someone needed to prove funds then they could have signed a message from the input addresses.

I would say it was likely to consolidate inputs and/or someone was withdrawing a large amount of funds from an exchange

It's good to know Bitstamp proves their ownership now and then
Also nice to see a bunch of large amount of coins moving ^^
(Although honestly that one has such a large priority it could have moved for free)

I dropped some pocket change by accident.

Sorry about that.

99% chance that it is a major exchange moving coins between addresses.

This my compadre, is the future of finance...conducted in a microcosm of about 3 seconds and 4 cents with Bitcoin.  Someone explain to me what we need banks for again?  How much time, energy, politics and cost do you think it would have taken to do this via BofA, or Western Union, et al...if it could ever even be done at all!

It's not as much as you think. Wire transfers go through the Federal Reserve system. Federal Reserve charges business customers very little: $0.70 per transfer, with further discounts for higher volume.

Your bank, however, can charge much more than that. For example Alliant Credit Union charges $25 for an outgoing domestic wire transfer, $50 for an outgoing international wire transfer. Thank God incoming wires are free. Some banks charge a fee ($10-20) even for incoming wires. You get better deals on wire transfer fees from brokerage firms and mutual fund companies. I have a Vanguard account and they don't charge a wire transfer fee if the amount of the wire is over $5,000; the fee is only $5 if the amount is below $5,000. Believe it or not Bitcoin can, in some cases, cost more to send than to wire.

Lot's of LBTC users are reporting hacked accounts todays but also for past week.Many on forums speculating attribution to Malware/keyloggers  as these are the usual suspects. However, I believe there's some else more refined behind recent compromised accounts.


This particular transaction OP has pointed out, is probably from Bitstamp? Does anyone have Solvency report to confirm this?


 

If that's the case, then this time it was ~$81,077,527.00.

It wasn't USD$ it was 217,517.63438199 BTC

Or, as some would say, 5,355 sets of these...

Last time, 194,993 bitcoins worth $147 Million, the tag on blockchain.info was "Shit load of money".

http://www.coindesk.com/194993-btc-transaction-147m-mystery-and-speculation/

Most likely an exchange site.

Ha ha.
Somebody has got a sense of humour.
I would never have expected anything like this on blockchain.info.

Nothing weird about it. They happen. You can see this from time to time.

it is bitstamp bitcoins,one of the previous address is bitstamp's

217,517.63438199 BTC
with a transaction fee of 0.0001 BTC...

that's a 0.0000000459% fee. I'm not sure if anything can compete with that.
