Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

either someone was generous or he mined this block himself  |

What happened there?
Probably memory overwrite: 1863138384 == 0x6F0D3C50 == "o\r<P" or somebody writing in Python used a pointer to value instead of the value itself when calling a C/C++ library. |

Maybe someone thought it would get their transaction processed really, really, really quickly? Hmm... JIT mining, where additional hashing power comes online when large fees are detected... workable?... |

JIT mining, where additional hashing power comes online when large fees are detected... workable?...If Bitcoin lasts a few decades, maybe less even, this will happen. The per block subsidy will be insignificant compared to the accumulating fees. Miners will be programed to wait until there are X fees worth of tx waiting and then turn on. This will change the time distribution of blocks, it will become more even. |

And I'll just mine constantly and process those transactions before anyone "turns on".  Probably some won't bother turning off if their marginal costs are near zero. They'll find more blocks, but they'll be smaller value. The time distribution will even out somewhat if any miners are reward sensitive. Probably there will be some other problem that anyone can switch their miners to work on so the value of the next block will need to overcome that before it gets a lot of mining attention. |

So, I don't know much about deepbit, did the miners split this fee?
No, deepbit keeps all transaction fees, plus 10% of your regular earnings. (See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools) It's the most popular, but also the least competitive pool. How does that happen? P2Pool ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool) for the win -- optional 0.5% donation, decentralised, DoS resistant. |

*checks out Comparison_of_mining_pools link* Seems like pools keeping all the transaction fees is pretty common. But still... between that and the 10%, I don't quite get it either. Is the reduced variance for being in a large pool really that much worth it? I have to think there's something besides sheer inertia or not knowing it exists that keeps folks from switching to p2pool. |
