Also interesting it that none of these addresses appear to be vanity addresses ! Looks like the BTC rich prefer to stay out of the limelight...

I guess the biggest wallet is own by Satoshi. At least I hope so, he deserves it

As of block 165643, the ten most common values for addresses to store were:
0.00000000 (in 2411568 addresses) 50.00000000 (in 40631 addresses) 0.00000001 (in 35921 addresses) 0.05000000 (in 22806 addresses) 0.00100000 (in 22439 addresses) 0.02000000 (in 18160 addresses) 0.01000000 (in 13178 addresses) 1.00000000 (in 11636 addresses) 0.00500000 (in 9502 addresses) 0.00000002 (in 7628 addresses)
This is also something pretty significant - 2,031,550 coins most likely in the hands of miners, never been spent. If you consider that most blocks pay a few bitcents in transaction fees, there is probably another huge heap of coins in the hands of miners that aren't showing on this list because they are not 50 exactly, but rather, 50.06, 50.015, 50.122, etc.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

That's hard to see with blockchain analysis, because these amounts haven't moved yet at all.

Buy a TREZOR! Premier BTC hardware wallet. If you're reading this, you should probably buy one if you don't already have one. You'll thank me later.

The growth of 1DkyBE is crazy. I estimate that the growth has averaged 2850/day over 6 months, which equates to 40% of all new mining production (@7200/day) over that period, and it now holds 5.5% of all BTC in existence.
There would seem to be diminishing value to continuing to accumulate while owning such a large fraction of the outstanding coins, but it doesn't seem to be slowing down any. If it is Silk Road's accumulated profits, as many have speculated, then it somewhat makes sense, since converting to dollars via the exchanges might involve loss of anonymity.

Seems several more of these addresses now have balances ending in 0.031337 as compared to before.

I have a feeling that the top 4 addresses belong to the same owner.

I have a feeling that the top 4 addresses belong to the same owner. Around 30 addresses from the top, except the biggest one, totaling over 990k - if my math is right :p If it's not the same person, then it's a conspiracy ;)

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

As Bitcoin grows the nominal amount in each address will tend to flatten out and yours and other early lost addresses will become the highest.

List bumped. Noteworthy changes: - someone donated to the top 30 addresses to make them have a decimal tally ending in .03133700 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) - the list now has a "date last touched" field added to it - the monster address has shrunk noticeably hehe, very cute of them to do so. The only thing that sucks about it, is that it throws off the 'date last touched' for us watching the hibernating wallets. :/ I suppose we can filter out a transaction date if we know for sure we can not attribute it to the wallet owner?

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system. - GA
It is being worked on by smart people. -DamienBlack

I wonder how many people fired up vanitygen trying to find the keys for that one large address? I know it would take millions of years, but you never know, you might get lucky.

That's 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 attempts. Assuming your computer could try a billion per seconds (it can't, according to the vanitygen post, vanitygen can do ~20 Million attempts per second on a 6990), that'd still take you, oh, about 10790283070806014188 years. ... In other words, chances are you'd witness the heat death of the universe before you actually "get lucky". [trolling on technicalities] Hey! That's only ~10^19 years, ~10^22 years on a 6990. That's literally nothing compared to the heat death of the universe. (At least 10^40 years.) Not to mention that there is a lot of headroom between a 6990 and the physical limits to computation. You have plenty of time, even with a 6990. Better get started. (You can probably crack it by hand, if the proton doesn't decay.) [/trolling on technicalities]

I think very few people are trying to do that. I have to believe that most people involved with bitcoin are neither thieves nor stupid.
