if you see carefully there are some 547 satoshi incoming transactions to these addresses and after a while the funds from these addresses are moved (same to assume someone cracked the privatekey). it could be just a coincidence but if you dig down deeper these 547 satoshi are sent to lots of addresses even to some high value addresses and some of them are getting cracked, funds are moving out briefly after they receive these 547 satoshis. these are the wallets i know of, maybe there could be many. i dont know how but someone is sending these small amounts and somehow how cracking these addresses. this is my assumption. i hope experts here could uncover the mystery.

Just google for 'bitcoin dust attack' and you can easily understand the reason of these transactions and why they were 547 sat

Ok understood what dust attack is. Its to de-anonymize a address and target the person who holds the wallet. But the addresses i mentioned were satoshi era wallets for which the private keys were forgotten. Even if you were to find the person its of no use because he himself dont know the keys. Is there a way they are trying some other kind of attack to get those private keys.

How do you know that these keys are forgotten?

Because the last incoming transactions were in 2010 and 2012 and there were no outgoing transactions afterwards anyone with sane mind mind would have spent atleast some BTC after the huge price rise somany times. Even if we assume there were cold wallets look at this address 1JTgogpKuriP1b5B7JiJ9LxLybjUMB8BiZ 50 BTC were freshly mined and was never spent just forgotten. So i came to the conclusion the person holding the BTC would have forgotten the private keys. If not he would have promptly moved them to other address as soon as he have seen the dust attack not after a while. Ofcourse all of this is just my assumptions because thats what logically thinking points to. Maybe i might be wrong.

You are quick to judge about someone having "sane mind" or not.

I have some BTC aquired in the early days, and haven't sold almost anything until now, < 10% of it, it is far to early to sell something. BTC price is yet to go to expected values.

Those people you've mentioned have much, much more than me, and even if they've sold some small ampunt, they have absolutly no reason to move coins from other blocks at all. These stories abour lot's of BTC being lost are just legends, there were some incidents but majority of the old coins are hodled safelly in wallets, it is easy to keep the private keys safe. It is not a rocket science.

Agreed. As i have mentioned its all just my assumption. Was trying to find if there is any vulnerability in the BTC. thanks for clarifying

I hope this will not sound aggressive, but sometimes we believe our own bullshit too much
