This one got buried under a flood of meme shit and red herring chases, so I just wanted to bring it back to the front page. It's both damning and verifiable.
There was a meme about this about 40 pages back from last week when we figured it out.
Last week? Correct me if I've got this wrong, but the coins that were supposed to be destroyed, but weren't, were here:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xpy/address.dws?119166.htmThen starting two days ago (not last week) the coins were moved, and combined with others, here:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xpy/address.dws?P9HwdnKRZD5niS7ua9pSV4DnjKxRPHw73Y.htm(@gawceo's response was that he would "look into it" but of course nothing happened as a result.)
Then yesterday they moved to exchanges:
(From a deleted HT article.)
This is @gawceo's non-response:
https://hashtalk.org/topic/31586/test-coin-and-compounding-update/3And today this was published:
http://www.miningpool.co.uk/burned-paycoins-come-back-to-life-appear-to-be-sent-to-exchanges/It's not a great article (no offense to the author) because it just explains what happens without citing the details that would make it possible for anyone else to check. Maybe coinfire or someone will pick this up and do a more thorough investigation and report.
EDIT: More data from the 31586 HT thread, in a comment from tekneeks:
Just the fact that all this happened points to some serious disarray inside of GAW. It's tempting to suspect that Josh understands blockchains so poorly that he thought that when attention died down he could quietly sell off those coins and nobody would notice.
