27,973 CSW's claimed Tulip Trust addresses: CSW claimed that are entirely unspent: 27,899; Block Height Range: 1 - 75,400 CSW claimed that are with some or all spent: 74; Block Height Range: 3,607 - 75,295 Out of the 27,973 a total of 145 addresses were used to signed a message: "Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud…..We are all Satoshi" I already plotted there extra nonce values for these in the other thread: For grins, I took the 145 signed addresses, identified their coinbase transaction's block height and extra nonce values and plotted them along with other unspent blocks ( NOT in one line LOL) in the same timeframe:  As you can see this NOT CSW miner's Extra Nonce values grow in the traditional sloped lines until they restarted their instance, but the angle does NOT confirm to the nearly vertical slopped lines that some suspect is Satoshi's own mining activity since the same distinct pattern/angle begins at block 1. How interesting... Actually when you zoom in to the action after 30K there are clearly multiple mining lines overlapping I think suggesting multiple computers were involved in mining this collection of blocks:  Assuming these addresses belonged to a single miner the first green box is interesting with the two side by side parallel lines: Doesn't it suggest that this miner had (at least) two mining computers that he restarted at roughly the same time to produce these tight parallel lines? Then one of the computers appears to have been restarted resetting the Extra Nonce value back to zero. Any other theories? |

Good day
$430 Broken
BTC below 60% Dominance as we talked about
ETH 13% Dominance
it was a good day but BTC increased at the same time. Anyone see any news on the test net progress? |

can someone point me to the entire list of CSW addresses he is claiming to 'own'? I know it is in the PDF, but I am wondering if anyone has extracted them out as a text file somewhere so I don't have to re-invent the wheel.
The addresses in the court PDF-file I extracted can be found here: https://eli5.eu/analysis/csw_tulip.txtStraight forward text file, one address per line like this (first 10 lines from the file): 12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX
...
perfect! thanks TheArchaeologist. I see the idiot submitted 4 lists attempting to get 'his' list correct. According to a Reddit post published on Friday, there are three lists called the CW list, the DK list, the Shadder’s list, and the recently submitted CSW filed list which was produced on May 21, 2020. What happened to three strikes and you are out?  |

Something I don’t understand. The address 167ZWTT8n6s4ya8cGjqNNQjDwDGY31vmHg where his 8,999 coins ended up has continued accumulate bitcoins. The last transaction of 0.00014659 BTC is dated 2020-04-22 02:22. Someone hacked it or just a dust attack? Likely, the second though too much for the dust. The decrypt article that OP posted mentioned that as well. According to the article, the last transaction was carried out back in April. But I see that someone carried out a dust attack today. The authors believe that it is either a dust attack, which it most probably is, or people are sending him Bitcoin out of sympathy. The 2nd reason they mentioned isn't very logical. If users know about that particular case, and how he lost his Bitcoin, it makes no sense sending additional Bitcoin to an address whose private keys are lost. yeah the 2nd reason would be pouring more salt in the wound even if it is just adding a couple more gains to the massive salt-lick he already has. |

thanks BitcoinFX for the quick run down....it just seems something easy to prove if true so I guess we will just have to see what he produces by the Sept deadline. Sorry 'I don't have the private keys and I deleted all of the evidence' isn't going to cut it.  At least he provides some possible amusement   |
|
|

No because that would give him/her an incentive to spend some of those unspent bitcoins mined and tank the price. <jk> Amazingly his bitcoin baby, after launching it and getting it properly bootstrapped is doing just fine. The *only* upside I can think of with him being revealed is that (s)he would shut up CSW once and for all! |

Clown show continues ... "Craig Wright: Private keys don’t equal identity"- hxxps://coingeek.com/craig-wright-private-keys-dont-equal-identity/ "Keys ≠ Identity By Craig Wright | 08 Aug 2020"- hxxps://craigwright.net/blog/law-regulation/keys-identity/ and I quote ... "You do not own your bitcoin because you have a key. ..."  "... The mere possession of a key does not give ownership. ..." I am confused what CSW is trying to obtain in the end. Without the private key the BTC associated to the address can't be accessed period. Plenty of folks have learned that the hard way.  If he has the keys then he can get the BTCs, but obviously he 'lost' (or never had them) them, but is attempting to claim ownership in a US(?) court? What court is going to buy that he owns them when he can't really prove ownership? Even if you buy his load about "Private keys don’t equal identity" given how bitcoin exists how can he hope to do better? Even if he 'won' what does he hope to achieve? magical access to all of 'his' BTCs? Would that require forcing Bitcoin code mod to hard fork and hand him all of 'his' BTCs? How does *any* government force a non-govt org like bitcoin to do that exactly? Obviously if that was to pass it would be the end of all non national cryptocurrencies as we know them... |

He used a bootable Linux OS and never made a backup of his wallet.dat after he sent that 1 BTC transaction. Basically he forgot to make a backup of the updated wallet.dat that contained the information about the destination address where those 8.999 BTC went. He was left with holding 1 BTC out of 9.000. What an unlucky guy. Looks like he gave up on Bitcoin or the forum after this incident. He has not been online since 2010. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=288 The price of bitcoin in 2010 was fraction of penny and, apparently, he didn’t believe in it otherwise he would buy back 100 times more and never leave crypto-community. But he can’t be blamed, not everyone is born to be a seer. We can only feel sorry for him. 8999 lost bitcoins x 0.06/BTC (est cost at the time) = ~$540 so yes not a large investment at the time. IMHO he was a seer to invest even that amount at that time. Unfortunately because of his mistake he likely felt jaded/burned by bitcoin and moved on. I don't blame his reaction given his experience, but I do feel sorry for him. https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Bitcoin_history#Bitcoin_in_2010Bitcoin in 2010
May 22nd First online purchase using bitcoin. Laszlo Hanyecz (indireclty) buys Papa John's pizza for 10,000 coins (25 USD – Bitcoin value was 0.0025 cents for 1 coin).
July 12th Bitcoin exchange rate increases 10 times in ten days, from 0.008 USD per BTC to 0.08 USD per BTC.
October 7th Bitcoin exchange rate begins to escalate, after several months stuck at USD $0.06 per BTC. |

How to Move? Mods will Move? Good question. It doesn't look like you can move it yourself, but your options would be: 1) copy original message text, delete this discussion here and recreate it under trading discussion 2) lock this discussion and start a new thread under trading discussion 3) use the 'Report to moderator' yourself which "enables you to report abusive or wrongly-placed posts to the forum staff." so it will eventually get moved |

https://fortune.com/2020/08/11/buying-bitcoin-microstrategy-cryptocurrenc/Many crypto boosters believe the price increase is tied to the flood of money printed by central bankers in recent months as countries try to stave off the economic crisis triggered by the pandemic. Unlike national currencies, Bitcoin has a finite supply of 21 million, which makes it a hedge against inflation akin to gold in the view of Silbert and others. good press that Bitcoin has an actual cap vice fiat currency

As a hedge against US dollar inflation, the worldwide leader in enterprise analytics and mobility software MicroStrategy company decided to sweep $250 million from its cash reserves into Bitcoin. The company announced today that it has purchased a total of 21,454 bitcoins. MicroStrategy CEO confirmed that his company has made bitcoin the principal holding in its treasury reserve strategy. Wow, that is a significant 'bet' by a large corporation that bitcoin will hold its value (or grow ideally). Imagine if other companies followed this same strategy.  |

Hi,
I wonder how to download bitcoin data to csv files. I would like to get all blocks, transactions in csv files. What is the fastest way to achieve this?
I heard about bitcoin-etl and blocksci. Is it possible with both of them ?
It all depends on what you want to do with the data, but you might want to check out LoyceV's thread first to see if it answers your needs: Without further ado: The data► Directory:loyce.club/blockdata/► All-in-one file:This file is in CSV ( Comma-Separated Values) format. It can be imported into a spreadsheet (this might take a while considering the size). ► Sample:The file blockdata.txt has the following columns with data for each block, the first line is a header: id,hash,time,median_time,size,stripped_size,weight,version,version_hex,version_bits,merkle_root,nonce,bits,difficulty,chainwork,coinbase_data_hex,transaction_count,witness_count,input_count,output_count,input_total,input_total_usd,output_total,output_total_usd,fee_total,fee_total_usd,fee_per_kb,fee_per_kb_usd,fee_per_kwu,fee_per_kwu_usd,cdd_total,generation,generation_usd,reward,reward_usd,guessed_miner

How big is the difference? if it is just a small number and negligible then I think its not significant. Are users affected by it negatively? Perhaps there are some discrepancies on the nodes because obviously, they counting differently. Even Vitalik himself doesn't know the real number of supply, lol.
that is sad if exact count is not easy and readily available. Hopefully ETH 2.0 will address the incestory problem related to the uncles |

It was like they were reading our minds (or posts ) For what it is worth: https://decrypt.co/38271/so-what-is-the-ethereum-eth-total-supplySo, what is the Ethereum (ETH) total supply? This thorny question has generated a shedload of debate on crypto Twitter for the past five days. And it’s not going away. By Adriana Hamacher Aug 11, 2020 In response to a challenge put down by Bitcoin educator Pierre Rochard, several Ethereum devs did just that over the weekend. A coded “script” by systems engineer and blockchain enthusiast Marc-André Dumas won the proffered bounty.....The tricky aspect of calculating Ethereum’s supply is that, unlike Bitcoin, not only do the block rewards need to be added up (although for ETH, there are two types: genesis and mining rewards) but there are also so-called “uncle rewards” to take into account.
Uncle rewards are given for blocks that nearly get into the blockchain but don't quite make it, and exist primarily in order to improve decentralization. They can also have children: “nephews.”
Uncles are issued with a delay of up to six blocks and can form up to 87% of the block reward—making them crucial to account for but tricky to calculate.  |
