strange transactions found

[Mr.Stinson]

Hey guys!

i am looking through the BTC blockchain at the moment. what i found out is that here: https://www.blockchain.com/de/btc/tx/f5d8d5a941cd630fd6ae77d6cbaaba7ef2823a18065dcffba3482c419c9e516c something strange is going on. just look back in the history. this certain amount of btc goes through about 3 wallets every minute. am i the only one that thinks this is strange???

I don't find it strange, where have you found this address? I think that this an exchange or casino's address.

Probably what it will be or an exchange doing cash outs.

There is nothing strange. This is definitely a withdrawal, so you should not consider it suspicious.

There is nothing strange. This is definitely a withdrawal, so you should not consider it suspicious.

it is not this transaction that is suspicious. it is the fact that there is an amount of btc getting sent from one address to another in a very short period of time. why would someone send 40 btc to 3 different addresses within a minute?

[Red-Apple]

it is not a "certain amount of bitcoin" and it is not going through "3 wallets"!

if you look carefully you can see that it started with some amount (bigger than 44BTC) and then has been paying different addresses different amounts. for example the only you linked is paying 0.045 to some address, then the change (44.06) goes to the sender's new address (3Aq...) then it makes another payment of 0.15BTC and the change (43.91) goes to a new address of the sender (3J4...) then another payment of 0.0332 and so on.

that is the  classic pattern of some service automatically paying his customers. for example take bitsler (my signature), when you make a withdrawal the system automatically pays you from an address similar to this then the change goes to another address and pays another customer and so on.

There's a lot of possibilities but I don't find it strange at all. Like others have pointed out it could be just a exchanges wallet when someone makes a withdrawal or could be a online casino's when players cashing out. Or crypto holders who wants to separate his coins to 3 different wallets.

Its looks like exchange address like other people above said or some other service or gambling site, because they use consistent transaction fee.
I dig down the address until see this address and as you can see most of them use same fee. So, its probably user that use the service withdrawing his bitcoin from that site.

[KingZee]

Yep, just like the comments above, this is a withdrawal system.

User 1 requests withdrawal : Address 1 signs transaction to User 1 + Address 2, and so on.

I did use some blockchain tools to get the original address :  3BhE9fR6KWcAqBvPmfex1NMXNyTKnAhDEw

This is the address that held the initial funds that then keep being used for withdrawals. You can google it or search a bit more to find to what service it belongs to, but I don't understand why you find this weird anyways.

This is from an exchange or something that does btc to cash services, or any other services for that matter. Usually, they deploy the received coins into different coins that they hold for sorting or storage, or fund for their other ventures, or to just get the taint 'messy' for those who wish to follow the trail of transactions. They have their own reasons, take this for example (one of the old multisig address that I'm using that belongs to an exchange). Once the address received transaction, their system automatically creates new transactions to different addresses.

no biggie! may be some casino or exchange is cashing out.

Its looks like exchange address like other people above said or some other service or gambling site, because they use consistent transaction fee.

they use consistent transaction fees because the network is pretty much calm and there has been no spikes so everyone who is using the same system for fee estimation is going to be paying the same amount of fees. it is not related to being an exchange or not.
if there were a spike in number of transactions you will see them pay a higher fee automatically.
