Title: The mysterious 0.031337 BTC transactions Post by: ineededausername on July 02, 2012, 12:16:04 AM a9d69d7e45aafa10bdaee1ee5aae1be9cd331ad2c3fc77cf5874398b5083dc68

And I would say there's something fishy going on as you follow the transactions back, you'll notice that the Bitcoins are geting cleaned in chunks of 6000 BTC. Or maybe just an early adopter... This is the originating address http://blockchain.info/address/1AYtnRppWM7tWQaVLpm7TvcHKrjKxgCRvX 400K BTC that were consolidated there on January 27, 2011, coming from various sources. And seeing as a lot of those coins that were sent there are the 50 BTC block reward coins, it's some miner. A very rich miner I would say lol Title: Re: The mysterious 0.031337 BTC transactions Post by: Kluge on July 02, 2012, 09:22:56 AM Mixing coins. Thought I'd include an identifying communication with the transactions so everyone knows how cool I am on the Internet.

Title: Re: The mysterious 0.031337 BTC transactions Post by: check_status on July 02, 2012, 04:22:06 PM It's a communication occuring in the blockchain for bot and master or hacker and colluding party which provides commands for direction or execution. If they change the wording of their communication, good luck finding them again.

Passing botnet commands trough IRC and Twitter is so last century when compared to passing those same commands using Bitcoin transactions. Now I just hope no real bot herder reads this and decides to implement it. I will want a cut of the profits lol Title: Re: The mysterious 0.031337 BTC transactions Post by: Tril on August 15, 2012, 11:50:55 PM At one time if you posted an address in #bitcoin-otc IRC, a bot would send that address some fraction of coins containing 1337 somehow.
