If you were a chainalysis company, would you spray taint dust yourself without any explanation, or would you try to hide behind yet another centralized mixer service spraying harmless looking marketing dust?
Thanks... would you happen to have others from the same mixer?
This particular one is pretty insidious, almost 1,800 addresses touched by their very identifiable 888 satoshi outputs. The address does seem to be getting quite a bit of dust back as well, though, judging from recent 888 sat spends (and the address getting 696 sats back after 1 sat/byte fees)... so maybe this is people getting revenge and spending the dust back... at current network fees, it's very doable.
If I were a company, I'd spray quietly, rather than give a trail to a centralised service that could spill the beans on me.
We don't have any more examples to make public.
If a company were to spray quietly, they couldn't do it on this scale, because that would attract inquiry.
Seems that it would be better for them just to make it appear as advertising spam.
