1)  this is the god damn pirate wallet, 90%+ confidence.

2)  built this year, starting right when his scam was ramping up

3) died when the scam died

4)  rule out Gox / Silk Road, and it's only Pirate left:
4a)   SR does 22M in business per year, profits about 1M, and is likely quickly converted to USD
4b)  Gox isn't that stupid, wouldn't build a 500kBTC wallet (that's 5% of ALL btc) and this is not how a Gox cold storage wallet would look (why is it built in weekly / monthly regular headshots? only during this yr?  ending with a super-launder?)

It's Trendon   

Re. 4a) This doesn't need to be SR's profits.  It's just the BTC they're currently holding.  Customers deposit BTC at SR then trade them with sellers.  While the BTC are on the site, they need to keep them safe.  Hence the use of this offline wallet.  Since the address became public knowledge they've split the contents up into several smaller addresses to avoid scrutiny.

Re. the other points, that's useless circumstantial evidence and doesn't prove anything.

It's SR.

Evidence is compelling.

Besides, if Pirate kept his booty in bitcoin, he likely wouldn't have more than 100,000ish; most of his deposits were imaginary.

Are we STILL talking about this? SR deposit -> 1-hop to the 1Dky wallet. End of story.

It's a damn shame you didn't do so before SR stopped using 1Dky. I am a happy man, because I know for a fact that I wasn't lying to myself, and it would be pretty hard for dooglus to lie to me because the payments are embedded in the blockchain for all eternity.

I only accused dropt of lying, not you or dooglus. The reason I found those analyses lacking is because the experiments only attempted to trace SR coin deposits to 1DKy, without attempting to do the same with MtGox deposits or withdrawals. Testing this alternative hypothesis was necessary, since many of the addresses which feed into 1DKy are within mtgox's closure. So, of my two MtGox withdrawals, one traced back to some coins generated not long ago, and the other was from MtGox's 1LNW "green address". Whereas my SR withdrawal came from 1DKy.

It was the side-by-side comparison which I hadn't seen done, and I was little irritated by that. I was wrong about dropt, so I sent him 25 BTC (he sent me back 12.5. he's a decent dude).

Have you guys considered using this brand new tool to help you track this address down?  http://blockviewer.com/#1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM

[Kazu]

So can somebody possibly explain http://1dkybekt5s2gdtv7aqw6rqepavnsryhoym.com/?

[Raize]

I think Matt registered it as a fun way to point out and poke fun at the person that had a ton of coin. Must have lost the domain or hosting on it, though.

a necromancer! stop raising undead threads!

[Jaroslaw]

I might know whos owner of this adress

[wopwop]

I might know whos owner of this adress

Me too

[Chronikka]

Lets hope the owner we are all speculating about has given his private key to somebody...otherwise 600k BTC are off the market and all we can do is stare at it.

[Gyrsur]

maybe a brainwallet?

EDIT: BTW final balance is 0.19106797 BTC (https://blockchain.info/address/1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM)

[lucas.sev]

why nobody wants to say it's DPR?

[Raoul Duke]

why nobody wants to say it's DPR?

Because nobody knows?

[Tirapon]

whats with all the 0.000055 BTC transactions?

[Chronikka]

whats with all the 0.000055 BTC transactions?

I believe they are network transaction fees that were being collected but somebody correct me if I am wrong

A neco thread was resurrected because it had a post by altoid. So I noticed a BTC address posted by altoid in some php bitcoind code: 1LDNLreKJ6GawBHPgB5yfVLBERi8g3SbQS.

I followed that address to another one, 1933phfhK3ZgFQNLGSDXvqCn32k2buXY8a, currently sitting with 111,111 BTC in it.

Yes I came to that one as well. The number makes sense and so does the time stamp on the first transaction (Summer 2011). People saying he had 600k aren't considering running costs and personal expenses. 111k is much more reasonable and still a considerable hoarde

But that one stops getting real deposits Nov 15th, 2012.

There is more out there I would say 250-400k coins.

True. But the initial transfer was for 40k BTC. You don't just drop 40k BTC in a wallet even back in 2011 unless its intended for long term storage or you intend to spend it (Which he didn't). I think this was intended as long term cold storage and as bitcoin increased in value so did this wallet's value

Cold Storage is a very good point.

We also don't know that this is the ONLY wallet, or if he had other investments in BTC (who knows how much he lost in the GLBSE madness) or to (the other) pirate  .
