BTW, the Blockchain.info is down? I cant get access it at the moment.

You know what would be funny? If they screwed up with the sending addresses and mistakenly sent 50000 BTC to some random poor fellow.

I dont think they will do anything like that since it is 50k of btc its alot and they must be really careful to check them hundred times

Just looking for peace

I believe they are not the coins from Auction , Though it was supposed to be announced today but there were supposed to be auctioned in 20 Blocks (10 2000 BTC and 10 3000 BTC) . It would be strange if single person bought all of them Undecided

Do we know who won the auction yet? It is good to see the BTC out of the governments hands I guess.

That wouldn't just happen. They've seized the coins and they've gotten this far up to the auction just to send it to a wrong address? One word: pathetic. Cheesy

Whoever won the auction sure has loads of btc today. Good buy.

Its so simple, if they send it to the wrong address, they just track the address owner down and seize it under Civil Forfeiture Law.

Or if that transaction without fee can't get confirmed, they will break down Bitcoin network or seize satoshi and ask him to take responsibility for this. Cheesy

Just kidding.

Even if it happened, it wouldn't be sent to a random poor fellow, it would be sent to an address that will probably never be used, and lost forever.

That said, if by some chance it really IS sent to a used address, I'm sure they'd hunt the guy down and make him return the bitcoins.

Even if the buyer got $260, he has already made a tidy profit

Was there ever a statement saying how much was paid for that auction? If I recall correctly, at that time, 1 BTC was valued at about $600 USD.

Huh? No dude it was not $600

Also there will probably be no statement because that was a private auction so unless the buyer comes forward and states how much then we will never know which is fine. If you just make an educated guess you will find the ball park at least within $20 that he paid anyway my guesstimate would be he paid $250 per coin so a total paid of about $12 million/ What do you think?

My fault, i wasn't clear in my message. I meant to say the first auction, back in June/July 2014. At that time, BTC was valued around $600 USD. And that was won by Tim Draper.

The recent auctions, it has been speculated that the bid prices were between 10-20% under current market value.

Last time when first auction hit the market, I think 6 month ago the price of Bitcoin felt down. I wonder why price increased today. This is good moment I think.

It is not true that every transaction need to have a fee.

I said "should" have a fee. Yes, I understand old and large value, but still, toss a fee on there, help a brother out.

This is the correct transaction id :

Who has won these 50'000 bitcoins ? I didn't find any "name".

Who made this transaction with 0 fee, the winning bidder must be anxious right now, non-fee transaction might take several days to get a confirmation.

Won't matter with a transaction of this size. I do wonder who won them though. Has this been announced?

Why does everyone keep saying this? The amount of btc being sent has nothing to do with incurring fees. Fees are based on the file size of the transaction, not the monetary size. That being said, every transaction should have a fee associated with it, not sure why this one didn't.

Nobody is saying a bigger transaction will incur more fees.

We're saying a transaction with few (one in this case), big and old inputs do not need any fees.
It is not true that every transaction need to have a fee.
