Will start a project second half of march over gox-self-help:

Reddit makes once again good work. But at a certain point it can not longer evaluate manually.

My first approach would be:
https://blockchain.info/de/api/blockchain_api

This already provides most of what we need. More after my vacation. But maybe someone has then already solved the Gox mystery of gone coins. Wink

Much appreciated!

There's been an ongoing effort on reddit to collect relevant addresses:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1z14j0/needed_any_bitcoin_addresses_you_have_used_to/

Needless to say, there are quite a few interested in gaining some insight into what really happened.

There has been very little evidence of duplicated tx's by mtgox, certainly nowhere near enough to account for even a tiny fraction of 850k coins. The true story is right there in the blockchain of course, but there are just too many pieces missing (i.e. mtgox cold storage addresses).

Mtgox undoubtedly knows the true story, but clearly are either not willing - or at liberty - to make anything but vague statements.

"bitcoin days destroyed" stats point to large movements of long-stored coins at a few recent mtgox-related dates.

Thanks SP. This endeavor will probably take a lot of work. I hope they are up to the task

Does anybody know whether anyone has done or is planing to do any forensic analysis on MtGox-controlled public addresses? There are various ways that a long list of them could be pieced together. One way would be for customers to contribute lists of Gox controlled deposit and withdrawal addresses based on their records of deposits and withdrawals to/from Gox. I am sure there are other ways as well.
