No I didn't read tens of pages of posts and I did actually open the link. You can see where they went below. I was just doing a little research. Go drink some coffee, little short on the quips today.

Still. He has ten 10,000 BTC inputs. Why was it necessary to add the two small sub-0.01 BTC inputs and send the sum of that to a separate address?
It's a bug in the satoshi client. In an attempt to avoid sending change less than 0.01 BTC, it sends change even when it isn't necessary. I submitted a fix for the bug a long time ago, but it never got included in the master branch. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/898Here's a good example. MtGox is trying to consolidate 10 50k outputs into a single 500k output, but an 11th 50k gets pulled in and spat out as change due to the same bug: http://blockchain.info/tx-index/2048819/1

It's a bug. It was introduced accidentally when code was added to avoid sub-cent change from being created, since any sub-cent output automatically incurs a transaction fee. The code makes sure the change is always at least 1 bitcent if possible, but forgot about the case where no change is necessary. It works if the entire payment can be made using a single output, but not if more than one output is required.

Stop obsessing about the completely stupid encoded message transactions. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Let me return your attention to something interesting instead: It seems likely to me that the Really scary 100K transaction of not-so-impending doom from August 19 was not sold, but instead used to build the 100K BTC, Million Dollar Staircase we now see on Gox: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FVLIH5.png&t=665&c=YcFAxOi_789_TQ) I have nothing to back this up, other than the fact that again, both the timing and the numbers seem to add up very nicely. When did the Million Dollar Staircase first pop up? How many BTCs was it originally built with? (Before the $10.20 spike damaged the lower steps.) Does the Million Dollar Staircase belong to the owner of 1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM? PS: If BTCST investors want their Bitcoins back - don't wait around! Buy back a step of the stairs instead!

1) I read this entire thread. Who else assumes we are watching Pirate's wallet here?
2) BitcoinMax: $~150k coins? + private investors (I heard of 2x 25k coin private + a bunch of 5k 5k 5k 5k 5k 5k ones. who knows what this adds up to) + BurtW Pirate bonds + other pirate bonds... are we to think he had 500k coins AFTER all the interest he paid out? He must have scammed more, when the faucet was cut off it looks like he was owing around $50k USD per day in interest? maybe moar? Seems like it's at the top end of my early estimates: if he had 500k coins left after the 1/2 yr of interest, he could have had ~ 1M btc on the books in loans, ~70k/wk in headshot interest payments, it makes sense for him to cut it off now as there is no way he's getting that kind of investment or quelling that kind of withdraws each week.
Just starting to think it's a $10M Ponzi, not a $1M one.
