Bitcoin Forum

was going through the block chain and found a odd address with around 80 thousand dollars in transactions daily was just wondering if anyone knows if this is an exchange or something...

It is unlikely that anyone will know with any kind of certainty whose address that is. It is most likely that the address either belongs to an exchange or some gambling site (although most gambling sites have their hot wallet 'tagged' on blockchain.info and this address does not have a tag)

lol you can check transaction history ,who knows the address of your friend's  :D
yeahh why do you care about the address?

Thats the good thing about bitcoin, we never know for sure who is behind an address, just a random array of numbers and letters. However if you compare inputs the outputs you can get a good idea of who owns it, like if they are getting inputs from exchange deposit addresses it is likely an exchange hot wallet collector.

Geez lay off a little bit. He simply has a question about something that interested him, no need to rage.

A quick search on the address didn't bring anything up for me. It is trying to be claimed in this scam though: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=977912.0 which you should NOT send btc too.

there we go and we have the answer i guess the owner of a ponzi site it seems....

Would you ask who's money that is if you see a cash truck running on the road?  :D  What you talking about is the same with this.
The money in the bank is private while the Bitcoin is an open book, that's the difference.

Unless you have a lead from somewhere it hard to find out who it belongs to. Probably your first start is by using search engine. But it highly unlikely it will lead you anywhere as a person who is dealing with such volume will not be ready to leave traces for you to find out.

That's mine, I'd appreciate you stop snooping on my transactions. Thanks.

Found this after searching the forum:

No. We cannot. Bitcoin addresses aren't bound to any personal data that the user have, so there is no way we can say who owns that address. Probably it is owned by an exchange or an online gambling site, but most of the latter often put tags that states that the address is indeed owned by a gambling site.

Maybe he's not the owner? Unless it is signed by him then I will believe.

Lol
Are you envy? :D
I personally don't care about that except that Addy is scammer or DPR addy ;D

We cant know whos adress it is.
Most likely an adress from a huge mining farm

That's the Idea behind Bitcoin . to keep the person behind it anonymous .
I don't think anyone could answer your question except the person himself .

Maybe not envious, but just out of curiosity. Hard to jump on conclusions.

Sorry, I should probably scale down my spending  ::)
OP it is probably an exchange account or something.

I was bored and did some googling myself, and found the address linked to a double-your-coin scam site, and then hit the jackpot of finding it linked with a known Huobi address in a transaction.  So likely it is a deposit address for a specific customer account on the Huobi Chinese exchange.  The scammer is just using his exchange deposit address.

Is $80,000 really such a massive amount to send and receive imo no it is not it is not peanuts by all means but could quite easily be just a normal trader sending his coins to the exchange to trade everyday because we do not leave them on exchanges for long do we? Well those who value their coin do not lol So not sure anyone is going to know unless it is their address :)
