Bitcoin Pizza Day is Tuesday May 22! Was it a Dominos pizza or Papa Johns that was purchased?

Anyone planning an event in NYC? I'm looking for any pizza place that accepts direct bitcoin payments.

The total amount of bitcoin in circulation decreased by almost 9 in 2017 due to “burn” addresses. Burn addresses, like the Genesis Block, are deadlier than “zomby” addresses, because there is no chance of coming back once BTC is sent to it. There are almost 400 known bitcoin burn addresses, i.e. valid addresses with no private key, to which, for a variety of reasons, people have sent 2,759.42507135 over the years. In 2017, 9 of these addresses received 8.97140133 BTC.

Does anyone know of a website that tracks the progression of bitcoin's richest addresses over time? Ie these addresses were the richest as of month x, these addresses were the richest as of month x+1 etc. I found such a website once but am unable to re-find. Hoping someone in the community might have a suggestion. Thanks!

A mint 2011 series 1 Casascius physical bitcoin sold for USD $7,100 on eBay yesterday.

First series Casascius coins are highly sought after by collectors.

During the last bitcoin price spike in 2013 (to $1250) many changed hands on eBay for about ~USD$3,000.

Yesterday's transaction represents a ~250% premium over current prices.

Today’s widely reported WannaCry ransomware attack is widespread, growing and has already yielded ~USD$12k in profits according to a Bitcoin Who’s Who analysis of the BTC addresses involved. On May 12 the 3 bitcoin addresses known to be receiving extortion payments show receipt of 6.49372428 BTC in 39 separate transactions with ransom varying between .15 to .30 BTC each. None of the balances have been moved to new bitcoin addresses since receipt.

Last October a website called BTCBurns.cf identified 397 burn addresses containing 2,657.8686 BTC lost forever. It has gone offline. Since it stopped keeping track 26.04 additional bitcoins have been sent to these addresses.

The total number of unspendable bitcoins is now 2,771.4086.

Can anyone help me understand this transaction?

Bitcoin's current #1 address 3Nxwenay9Z8Lc9JBiywExpnEFiLp6Afp8v made a confusing (to me) transaction today that I'd like to understand.

The address sent 333.33 BTC to 17 different addresses and 38,000 BTC back to itself. What could be the reasons for structuring a transaction like this?

[Total Outputs: 152,906,795]

Seeking help calculating current (or ideally as of 29 Jan 2016) number of total outputs on blockchain in order to be able to understand Blockchain.info's most popular addresses page https://blockchain.info/popular-addresses more fully. Blockchain.info uses each address's total outputs to come up with the ranking. The most current reference I could find was from a letstalkbitcoin post but its dated Dec 2014 and I am hoping to find something more recent.

https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/the-state-of-the-blockchain-addresses

A general breakdown is as follows:

Total Blocks: 336,860
Total Transactions: 55,479,774
Total Inputs: 137,314,100
Total Outputs: 152,906,795
Found 58,951,529 addresses which have ever been used.

Thank you for any help or suggestions.
