I think it is just a bug at their web site.

This is a better website, the 215000 address is on top.


Interesting website. I'm glad to see that 100,000 up to 1,000,000 BTC has just three addresses, because this amount is really high! I can't image when I would be if I get 1,000,000 BTC. The most of BTC is on addresses with 10 - 100 BTC, that's interesting too, I thought it will be on the addresses with 0.001 BTC - 0.01 BTC. Now there are 2891048 with 0.0001 BTC and I think it's mostly of that spam because when I saw this website few months ago most addresses had 0.001 BTC - 0.01 BTC. But it's interesting to check through the addresses and stuff like this.

is FUBAR.

Take the first address listed:

1   $ 46,548,540.28   167,784.81160667   19KJZ5aqWnrrCaNAS5Pbd4uknPFBxjALRt      58   Apr 2, 2015 11:52:36 AM

But if you actually look at the address directly, even through the link they give you on there own detail page:

https://blockchain.info/address/19KJZ5aqWnrrCaNAS5Pbd4uknPFBxjALRt

0.01084108 BTC

So, you cannot trust that list, it needs to be fixed.



That's what I said. It counts only "Total Received" not "Final Balance".
No, that is not it.  The addresses they are posting are totally wrong.  They think there is (or was) 167,784.81160667 BTC at their #1 address but it only has 0.01084108 and it NEVER had a large number of BTC, never.

I did not check them all but the first three are wrong.

Thanks, now I also know that http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100 is outdated.
The address is not included in the list, who knows how many more.

This list is only for TOP 100 with "Total Received" not "Final Balance".

How can you have so many bitcoins without receiving them?
Also, every address I click on that site has same amount for both received and final balance.

That's BS. If I have 200000 BTC and address above me has 390000, I can just generate new address, send my 200000 BTC to the new address and then send it back and I'm above him now.

A lot of the addresses that were used to fund the large amount of btc also received a bunch of those dust txs.

ALL the 0.00001 BTC dust stems from https://www.walletexplorer.com/address/1GsGCXCvN48Wd2fX8M9Xtgc5Vp1dJZetyQ, perhaps to stress [test?] the network.

100% positive it belongs to BitFinex.

Why would it belong to BitFinex...? I find no relation to all the micro-transactions going in day after day?
Apparently the people behind the spam attack were sending the dust transactions to many publicly known addresses. One such is this one. Wiki Leaks and many others have also been receiving those transactions as well as known brainwallet ones. As for why, I don't know.

So the logic is that the dust transactions are being sent to many publicly available addresses as well as this one, believed to belong to Bitfinex.  The question is why were the large deposits for this Bitfinex address filled from an address allegedly associated with mtgox?

it could be, that many think bitfinex was a safe place to send money from mtgox, when this one was going to bankrupt? or just bot moving large amount of profit from the mtgox-doge era to bitfinex

it should be interestin to see if there are other large address that are pointing to cold storage of other big exchanges, to investigate better on this subject

Then that makes sense for an exchange to hold and have continuous micro transactions funneling through this address. Thanks for this observation. Now some people can sleep soundly tonight  Wink

Not really.. Why would an exchange funnel micro transactions to their cold storage? Their hot wallet would make more sense, but that would definitely not contain this amount of coins..

None of the theories here make sense to me except the spam test one. Who would test a ton of times with a small transaction before sending a big one? just one small test is enough if you are paranoid about your transaction not going through or something.

Kind of reminds me of that micro transaction that they sent as part of stress test to overload the network. But it couldn't be that. Also, if I scroll down further, what I can see are actually some form of 'begging' going on while there are others who use it for cheap advertising by leaving comment on the page. But the key point is not about that small transactions. It's the whopping 215k btc in that address.  Shocked

Within a month of the first money being deposited in that address, someone picked up on that, and started to beg for money. < Public Note: Good afternoon! Your help is necessary. My wife has a problem with health, treatment is necessary (we expect a baby). If you have some unnecessary btc or satosh, please, help, we will rejoice any help.>

I wonder how successfull these people are, because he continues to spam other people with other requests.
https://blockchain.info/address/1D6h6TLPrNotHsaJNrdXuPj3ZdHxMNwTGW

How much transaction fee's did all these 0.00001 transactions accumelate?
 

He can easily send this spam to all addresses at once and pay one fee instead of this. He is dumb.
