Over 150,000 Bitcoins moved from an address today, cryptic public note attached.

hmmm pretty good answer. I didn't think of that

I wonder why all the small amounts with messages were being sent to it.

There are many people having a look at the blockchain.info page of an address that big.

So these small amounts are just attention whores, beggars hoping some idiot donates to them, people advertising their crappy sites, some even linking to a scamming site, etc. Sometimes the messages are funny though.

To confirm I mean I didn't think of the answer you suggested..... not I didn't think of sending a tiny transaction with a message in it heh (well i didn't think of that too either i suppose)

The revolution will not be centralized..who knows what miracle happens, when you believe

"Blockchain Graffiti" LOL

Crazy to leave so much in a single wallet though.

How does one attach a public note 'spam' to the transaction?  Can't this be prevented?  I hate crypto-begging

Maybe the guy above was buying a mansion and not thinking about revolution at all? Interesting public note though. Revolutions are always messy -- we get a sanitized version of the American Revolution in history books here in the U.S. but I bet dealing with a cold starving army was not fun for George Washington -- and a decentralized one would be worse because how do you know whether the infantry coming toward you is friend or foe.

Seemed to have worked though. He garnered a few donations. https://blockchain.info/address/1AGM3JWQ2TV6diDCRh2KthMb8UdUzy9Agb

It's bitstamp's coins. They come from this address https://blockchain.info/address/1EFJUipfCHFmmTFkF9vvjFKdBf3VbfvarM?offset=0&filter=0 and as can be seen some transactions are withdrawals to bitstamp's audit.

[InwardContour]

It looks like the note was attached to the transaction under it.

Okay. Damn, that would have been some excitement if the note was for the 150K.

The note was attached to one of the begging spam TX that was sent to the DPR address

EDIT: I don't think this is actually a DPR address, just one with ~ the same number of coins.

I wonder if this guy is getting ready to dump at the next bubble. send us all back to 2012

Thanks Aquent
