Holy crap that was a large transaction

[2tights]

Every so often I bitlisten.com

Just now, I saw the biggest transaction that I've ever seen. I know there have been larger ones, but I haven't seen them.

It was 10,200.80 BTC (i think, but I by be a few off)


I'm not that knowledgable about tracing bitcoin transactions on the blockchain, but I'm going to dive in to see if I can follow the story of the wallet this huge transaction was sent from as well as the wallet that it was sent to. Wow.

Does anyone who researches these have any thoughts on this transaction?nnn

Mod note: link changed to bitlisten, listentobitcoin contains malware

Maybe it was from an exchange or payment processor moving some coins from cold storage.
Or maybe the NSA managed to bruteforce somebody's key

[Bitcoinpro]

who would move such a large amount in one transaction

seems rather foolish

[black_swan]

I checked on blockchain.info and blockexplorer.com but I can't see anything for 10200.80 in the last 2 hours, are you sure?

Probably someone sweeping a cold storage address... or someone buying 2 pizzas plus tip.

$175,864,186.70 according to Blockchain.info This is incorrect.

Any blockchain analysts fancy doing some digging?

It was definitely 10,200. Are you stating $ for a reason? Although I am certain of this amount, shortly after there was another very large transaction but I didn't see the amount.

The tx posted by porcupine87 is from Nov 2013, not the current one.

Indeed Listentobitcoin.com is infected by malware. Avoid at all costs.

Made a quick search - this seems to be the one:  (amount 10203.7968 BTC)

And just as I was about to visit listentobitcoin.com...

Either way, the large transaction is probably an exchange website moving things around.

[mpattison]

Was there not a transaction worth 30,000+ BTC a few days ago?

I got a PM warning me about this site, after I spent a morning in bed chillaxing to the tones of bits passing through the block chain....
Can I just ask how the malware does it's thing on this site? if one know's... I've scanned, all is good, just interested (ala , bitcoin makes me more paranoid than I was before getting into it!)

I have my fix now from bitlisten.com haha

The site was hijacked a while ago and is now randomly serving Java drivebys.
The original owner moved to http://www.bitlisten.com/ which is clean.

well it started 23 December when i visited listentobitcoin.com @ that moment a java file got installed without interference named shezam.exe (i retreived it from the java install log) see below

%http://listentobitcoin.info/sezam.exe   188.165.49.114    <null> HTTP/1.1 200 OK content-length 502272

the file installed RAT Cybergate @ c:\directory\cybergate\googleupdate.exe a backdoor that give's complete access to the users's computer / webcam / chrome passwords / keylogger etc so he waited his turn and when i was making dinner @ about 6 o clock he started selling xpm for bitcoin and transferring my litecoin, because my gmail was open he had access to the confirmation mail as well all in about 30 minutes total losses 0.47 btc and 15 ltc luckily al mined so no real harm there but it sucks big time because i spend al day chancing passwords, and banging my head i didn't activate the 2FA on cryptsy

so everybody please learn from it
