The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

1. An address in the blockchain is not a "who". You're thinking in fiat terms.
2. They're not the Silk Road coins anymore. That is what they were.

I guess it's possible a single bidder won all the coins!

The odd thing is that 2.28533471 BTC were sent as change. Why did the FBI only sell 29656 of the 29658 BTC?

A single buyer won all 9 of the US Marshals bitcoin blocks at auction. The odd thing is that 2.28533471 BTC were sent as change. Why did the FBI only sell 29656 of the 29658 BTC?
They charged fees |

The odd thing is that 2.28533471 BTC were sent elsewhere (as change I assume).
The Marshals Service offered for auction 29,656.51306529 bitcoins. The address (1Ez69SnzzmePmZX3WpEzMKTrcBF2gpNQ55) that received the "Silk Road Seized Bitcoins" on 2014-06-12 had received a single output of 29,658.7984 bitcoins when they consolidated all the balances. 29,658.7984 - 29,656.51306529 = 2.28533471 BTC Not sure why they didn't offer ALL 29,658.7984 BTC for auction, but it looks like they are separating the "auctioned" bitcoins into a separate output from the remaining bitcoins that weren't auctioned. |

That's the amount they received as spam. Just look at the incoming transactions of the FBI adress  |

Do they release the name of the winner? Or do they not plan to?

If bitcoin is not anonymous, someone should be able to find out who the coins went to through blockchain analysis, right? I'm thinking it won't happen.

Blockchain analysis only tells you what address they went to. You'll need the receiver (or the sender) to release additional information if you want to know who controls that address. |

Really seems that the two biggest - that I know about - bidders was outbid on Monday: so the hypothesis of one whale-bidder gain traction! (Reuters) - SecondMarket and U.S. investment firm Pantera Capital, two of the more prominent bidders in the U.S. Marshals bitcoin auction, on Monday said they were outbid in their attempts to buy some of the nearly 30,000 coins sold late last week.

for 5 years everyone was shouting out to the government that bitcoins should stay anonymous,
for decades everyone was shouting out that the government should not hand out private info of citizens financials /private life...
...
now everyone wants to know who owns specific bitcoins and wants government to release financial info of private citizens...

it's the reason why i think the majority of bitcoiners are in it for themselves, even though some may say "we just want a better world." wanting wealth for yourself is just human nature. |
