While playing with some queries about coin age using bitcoin-abe (thanks John Toby) for this thread Satoshi Nakamoto - 1,5 million Bitcoins - We need answers, I noticed a weird spike of "non-moved coins" in calendar week 9 of year 2011:


like this? even 0.01 BTC help continue cool queries/charts: 1SQL2R5ijCn2ZiBG8aDYpCiecNPuxzMJJ

Then someone popped into my mind (drumroll): the MysteryMiner!

Remember him? If this was before your time, here's a little explanation: In the beginning of March 2011, a huge increase in hashrate happened, it didn't last very long (about a week?) If I remember correctly, it was determined the blocks came from a single ip, not sure, though. Someone on #bitcoin-dev coined the name "mysteryminer" for the person/group behind that.

  • Is this a coincidence?
  • If so: Why else the extreme spike in "kept coins" in week 9?
  • If not: Did MM keep all these coins througout the price rallying to $30?
  • If so, why?
  • Did he loose them?

Any explanation is welcome ^^

EDIT: Any speculation also welcome
