How does anyone know an address was a MyBitcoin address?
How does anyone know an alleged address is really not a MyBitcoin address? What if someone just scrapes addresses from the block chain and claims they are MyBitcoin? Seems like quite a stretch to me.
I was about the ask the same question.  1. We took addresses from posts that were posted prior to our announcement. These people had no reason to fake their MyBitcoin address. 2. The large amount of money transferred through and still residing in these addresses confirms, to some degree, the identity of the wallet. 3. The wallet contains many publicly-posted addresses, posted by different people. |

A final address list has been released.http://www.megaupload.com/?d=58DV7075Preliminary statisticsAddresses found: 94438 Total received including change: BTC 38,243,033.770666 Total sent including change: BTC 38,228,161.404752 Remaining balance: BTC 14,872.365914166 how did you managed to gather all those addresses ... ? and btw could you correct posted totals and balance, the numbers don't seem right. Thanks The numbers look right to me... maybe you should look again... It's entirely possible that MyBitcoin has sent over 38 million BTC, if that's what you're talking about. The "Remaining balance" has 9 decimal places of precision. Bitcoin only allows 8. Minor floating-point precision error... the figures are definitely very close to the correct numbers. We will be publishing more detailed and precise statistics soon. |

Thanks The numbers look right to me... We gathered these addresses by assuming that if two addresses both appear as inputs in the same transaction, then they are from the same wallet. |

Jan. 08 :  Yes, and if the price dips below the support on this wedge you should probably short. There is always an alternate scenario. |

Are they going to more mybitcoin addresses or to external addresses? (file blocked on work comps)
I'm not entirely sure. Coins are trickling out of the MyBitcoin wallet. About 300 were moved from yesterday to today. Further update: The address list is, surprisingly, STILL NOT COMPLETE. We are about to release a few hundred thousand more addresses that belong to MyBitcoin. |

Also, yes, I had to call it MIB, just because. UpdatesJan 11 '12: We note that the address list, in text format, has already reached a size of 2.5 MB. We believe that this list should be fairly complete Jan 12 '12: Address list has been released. A total of almost 100,000 addresses were found by our blockchain search. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=58DV7075Jan 12 '12: TT comments that money has been moved between and out of some of these addresses today. |

 Hello everyone. I am working with two other people, Jonathan Ryan Owens and TT on this forum, on an investigation into the activities of MyBitcoin. We will be attempting to do the following: (although we may not be able to get all of it done on our own)> Publishing a hopefully-full address list, consisting of addresses that can be directly linked to MyBitcoin deposit addresses > Allowing others to add their MyBitcoin address to our list > Publishing statistics on this list of addresses, including # of coins moved by this wallet on specific days > Analyzing the list and the statistics for further interesting information, such as exchange activity > Exposing a public API to track stolen coins, for the use of Bitcoin businesses and exchanges > Making a new Bitcoin monitor which charts only transactions consisting completely of stolen coins > Doing our best to make information on MyBitcoin public. |
