I was having some fun exploring the blockchain for weird looking addresses and apparently this is the biggest address ever, and has tons of small micro transactions incoming. What are those transactionsa about? Is this some sort of mining related address??

According to this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/36v29t/bitfinex_hack2252015_1459_bitcoins_lost/

It is a bitfinex cold wallet.

It's a multisig address, so it could be possible that one of the signers refuses to sign or is missing.

If it is, why are there so many transactions of 0.00001 BTC going into it?

looking very suspecious i think not the biggest wallet but something looks fishy as all of the received transactions are of 0.00001 when 0.0001 is the transaction fee who will send 0.00001  ? i am not an expert but how come all of the received payments are of same value and never ever even 0.01 BTC was used from this wallet

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/July_2015_flood_attack

read the "motivation"

those came from the spammers. which "donated" over 30 BTC to various sites.

Actually:  215,000.22165005 - 215,000.21655005 = 0.0051 was sent out of this address:

https://blockchain.info/tx/cfdca5d75e6924e6e6082029eb873063c2e1ce623cb4d34b72eeef2e0f8e56d5

This is the second transaction and the only transaction to ever send from this address.  Presumably they were testing to make sure they could eventually send when they want to before they made the first big deposit of 20,000.00034:

Maybe those are dust transactions from a spam test? That or BurrtW's theory of a testing before sending a big ass transaction.

Whether it's finex or wiki leaks or whoever at least they are keeping it secure in a multi-sig address. Not long ago all the largest addresses were in standard addresses, and now there are more and more multi-sig. Good to see.

There is no way to find out for sure why this address is getting so many transactions?
That is crazy and insane. No wonder the flood this month is keeping me from getting my transactions to complete still since July 10th, they just keep resetting to the day before time and date and says 0 confirmations everyday since. This stink Angry

Then that makes sense for an exchange to hold and have continuous micro transactions funneling through this address. Thanks for this observation. Now some people can sleep soundly tonight  Wink

And in 'testing' that they can send the btc they have put the important information online and compromised the security.

Why would it belong to BitFinex...? I find no relation to all the micro-transactions going in day after day?

Apparently the people behind the spam attack were sending the dust transactions to many publicly known addresses. One such is this one. Wiki Leaks and many others have also been receiving those transactions as well as known brainwallet ones. As for why, I don't know.

Ok, thanks for the clarification, it makes sense not just to direct them to a burn address.

If the spammers read this, please consider to send it to address 18XWhBj2pNJLqNCJ3PezKbFC4Vys5rjeD6 which I control. I would appreciate it very much Smiley


Thanks
