I am a bad comedian...confirmed ITT

Was that another attempt?

No...now I don't get it ;(

Dude has apparently decided to stop being a dude....  I'd love to know the story here.

Until I saw that the block was mined by a pool that pays out transaction fees I thought this would be somebody trying to hide transactions from network analysis.

You can mine a block containing transactions you haven't broadcast. So you can keep your own transaction fees, effectively transferring arbitrary sums to addresses where no actual transactions exist between sender and recipient.

There are plenty of miners with sufficient hashing power to solo mine and get a block every now and then.

blockchain.info seems to ignore transaction fees in its taint analysis. Are there any network analysis tools that treat mining fees as transactions?

Raw transactions are awesome!

Oh, Neat! i hadn't even thought of that possibility!

Unfortunately trying to do that would basically add taint to the vast majority of the network.  A block generation transaction is a single output of the subsidy+tx fees with no input.  So you couldn't trace it back through inputs, you'd have to basically consider every single transaction from the block an input if it had a fee, which would be extremely messy.  Additionally, you couldn't tell the difference between the subsidy and the txfee, so anything that was ever sent through that block's coin generation is now tainted.

Most expensive money laundering scheme ever lol

Why would you launder money with BTC when txs are visible in the blockchain? Even with mixers there are better ways for people to hide their money.

It wasn't literal.....

[franky1]

i think someone was messing with raw transactions to do a send many.. and got confused between transaction amount to second person... and transaction fee.

i cant see why anyone would throw that amount away, valued at thousands of FIAT for no good reason

Was this a genuine bug in the person's software?

[Baitty]

Was this a genuine bug in the person's software?

Probably experimenting with raw outputs and made a few mistakes and sent a lot of transactions on accident.

Not sure why that matters. This is still an interesting discussion, particularly since people have replied to my original "awakening" of it. This includes your own comment .
