Bitcoin Forum

I actually bought a MT. Gox shirt off eBay almost a year or so back - so I can save it to remember the place that once bore 70% of all bitcoin transactions at it's height - their website was originally created for the Magic card game funny enough. I wonder if they ever found the approx 650k btc it never could locate back in 2014. Are they still involved in lawsuits even now? Now, I kinda wanna find the shirt - I never took it out of the packaging lol.

good luck with your searches - some of these things are getting harder to find.

this is just part of what was taken though right? i think the total loss was like 850k but then they found some and that it resulted in still around 650k as "unfound"

also that one address in your first link - it is still getting funds added ever few weeks - last time was on 5/4/2020
also noteworthy is how much BCH that same address has as well. it last received BCH on 03/16/2020

Your right it adds a minute amount.

-- trace the funds back and it eventually leads to a binance address 1NDyJtNTjmwk5xPNhjgAMu4HDHigtobu1s after binance though it went thru like 10 other addresses all within the same day before landing on the mt gox stolen funds address.


edit: if it can be traced back thru multiple addresses to binance account - would binance not know who (because of KYC) they paid? it might not be the same person who did the theft but then to see those funds go thru 7 other transfers all within 2 hours makes me think they may all be connected. A good starting point would be to know who 1B18zGQM5ENJeQ9eqMYinuYxpXYhQACAZd is -- this is the account that binance paid 0.00224918 BTC at 1:09 pm on 5/4/2020 that, in less than 2 hours, eventually landed 0.00122426 BTC on the same address as the 80k btc stolen from mt. gox

I have not taken the time but i wonder if more of these random transactions can be traced back the same way.

I can easily do the same thing. So even if they knew who it was, it doesn't explicitly admit any guilt.

Binance did not require KYC until late last year. If your account was created before the KYC update and you are located in the USA, you are still allowed to trade and withdraw 2 BTC/24 hours without KYC :) although this can certainly be changed at any moment.

true but if it is constantly the same account doing this over several years - and what if it ends up being someone who worked at Mt. Gox? knowing where these trickling in payments are coming from could be nothing or could be something. None of us here will ever know though lol.




ahh these accounts were being used within the last 2 weeks - not sure when they were created. I only ran two of the payments coming in - both led back to binance though.

Don't know if it's prehistoric but it is rare...

Can you share a pic of  1 BTC Paytunia card?

  I came across one once...but cant seem to find. Perhaps other hunters here can do better....the following had pics but they are not loading.

That topic has 2 pictures of a Casascius coin: https://web.archive.org/web/20160224001404/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127686.0

Using the Wayback Machine works really well if pictures aren't loading anymore :).

Buying Bitbills at this point is incredibly ballsy.  ;D

If I could afford one, I would still buy one just to add to the collection, not to use 99.9% of what I buy, I will never use.

Thank you both. I guess I also need to look for this card. This is part of early history.  :)

    Yes they are...I just need to find it before you do  :D

Kro... I think it's time for You to buy Bitcoin House, put all your cards on the walls, and declare it a KROGOTHMANHATTAN BITCOIN MUSEUM!
But it seems to me that you will not buy it, but CREATE it! Pretty soon...

Look like this...

Lol...thankyou! Now only if i Had that amount of btc to spare. Donations are always welcome  ;)

@krogothmanhattan: for collectibles from companies which started in Europe (like Mycelium but also all others...) you could check the following platforms repeatedly. These are the most commonly used second-hand platforms for Austria and Germany... where bargains & treasures still can be found:

   Thanks Bobby for sharing this info.....the hunt is on!  ;)

And for the KROGOTHMANHATTAN BITCOIN MUSEUM: Any goal is probably only one halving away... two at most  ;D Happy hunting!

 Thanks Bobby...as more and more people become collectors...the items on my list get that much harder to fiind as most hodl on to them and do not flip.

unfortunately you won't be able to find anything good or interesting under https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/ (https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/) that could enhance your or our collection :P
i have been looking there almost daily for years and could not find anything except the el salvador newspaper...

How about these guys?
Considering to part ways with them. ::)

Ahh...thanks for the offer...but the bitcoin museum already has them  ;)

  When I joined this forum they were the first I was seeking to get...so much history on that coin...BigtimeSpaghetti did a good job in doing these for sure.

Nice to hear you finally found them, congrats.
Looking forward to see what you will add to the collection in the future. ;)

  Thanks...it was not easy...took years to get the yubi key or two. The rest I have listed I rarely came across again.
