Does someone have a decent hypothesis for a 45k transaction reccurently showing up in BTC monitor in the last 2 hours? Seems the same transaction slowly going down in price  ) Any ideas / guesses?  |

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Could the 45k be the money mt gox has for withdrawls, and what you see on the monitor is the "change" being returned.
I don't really know how the whole "change" system works. Seems odd to me. If my hypothesis is right, that is how much btc mt gox has on their online server to pay people. They have more offline and secure.

Could be that, because the amount has been going down in time, but with some ups in the middle. |

If you were paying out that's probably the way to do it. It appeared when MtGox went live and people started cashing out so it makes sense. |

yesn it's probably MtGox sending 100 to a customer and (40k - 100) to themselves.
it's not transaction fees.

Not sure, its the number in parenthesis (). I thought it were transaction fees, i think I am wrong. |

I dont think those are fees. It looks like about 5k coins have been withdrawn so far.

Bitcoin Monitor shows every transacion in this format:
Transfer of 2200 BTC (1900 BTC + 300 BTC)
I now think it means Total transaction (Change + Payment). Can anyone confirm?
Thanks.

payment and change are interchangeable, they are both outputs of the transaction. no one knows which one is which.
but in this case you are most likely right.

Thanks, you are right. I cheked up the bitcoin wiki, and it is exactly what you say. Every output must come from a complete input, so if your output is smaller than the past input, you have to make two outputs, one to the recipient, and one to yourself, called change. |

But my MtGox withdrawal a couple of blocks ago came from three smaller accounts, and not this 45k one. I think I got it. This has nothing to do with accounts / wallets, but just with transactions (inputs and outputs). So that 45K is simply a big transaction going back and forth probably in MTGox wallet. Of course MTGox addresses have other (smaller) inputs too, which it can use to pay to you or anyone else. What we see in BTC monitor are not wallets or addresses but simply transactions (inputs and outputs). |
