Title: Re: Who else gets weird transactions? Post by: gweedo on December 08, 2012, 11:12:10 PM How is that note attached to your address? I didn't send the coins but in blockchain.info's wallet you can attach public notes. It isn't a bitcoin thing. Title: Re: Who else gets weird transactions?

Title: Re: Who else gets weird transactions? Post by: Foxpup on December 09, 2012, 03:10:03 AM I didn't send the coins but in blockchain.info's wallet you can attach public notes. It isn't a bitcoin thing. Isn't it? I thought blockchain.info's public notes were encoded somehow in a zero-value output, making them permanently part of the blockchain. Enjoy your permanent label. (I'm in that transaction, too, BTW, and I'm just as confused as you are.)It looks like Raided for Tor (http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/6283/raided-for-running-a-tor-exit-accepting-donations-for-legal-expenses) has been getting several such messages over the past couple of days, from such addresses as 1KiDSxM3tZ3VAkRFYu4CnTv51xdEbMmEJP (http://blockchain.info/address/1KiDSxM3tZ3VAkRFYu4CnTv51xdEbMmEJP), 1CHiLDqtigm7sMkZpGF9KahVJgkQiWGUAo (http://blockchain.info/address/1CHiLDqtigm7sMkZpGF9KahVJgkQiWGUAo), 1CPxxxSHcKupLcqUf76FxBTe2DuXtVeqwn (http://blockchain.info/address/1CPxxxSHcKupLcqUf76FxBTe2DuXtVeqwn), 1pedo9hWm94NriUuDPnZqeWddPGna81Dv (http://blockchain.info/address/1pedo9hWm94NriUuDPnZqeWddPGna81Dv). Looks like someone's trying to make a statement, although why it's addressed to us I'm not sure. Title: Re: Who else gets weird transactions?

pretty weird addresses. You can use the bitcoin-qt client to sign a message to a transaction. Title: Re: Who else gets weird transactions?

Yeah, governments hate centralization and usually volunteer to make information about ongoing investigations public. Title: Re: Who else gets weird transactions? Post by: Foxpup on December 10, 2012, 01:57:29 PM I used to hold a high opinion of blockchain.info. Now I don't. (http://blockchain.info/tx-index/35883516/9106ac6859097079d39127aaac86208ac2a2b9bade92c3ae109192b7bc340872) What's with this blatant censorship? And why only this particular transaction, and not all the similar "offensive" ones? And more importantly, why weren't we notified of this? I demand an explanation. Dammit, we're never going to get to the bottom of this if you just silently unexist these notes wherever they appear. Besides, you're a blockchain explorer, and this information is supposedly in the blockchain. Suppose I went to the police about this (pick up your jaws, I'm speaking hypothetically here), and pointed to that page as evidence, but - oh, no, it's gone, with no record that it ever existed in the first place. Now I look like the crazy person. Seriously, what the fuck? >:(
