Topic: Is BitWise getting wise with Bitcoiners? (Read 70 times)

there most likely was a a RBF then a CPFP to push it in..
thats why they got updated. in your log

i have not bothered to check the transactions nor fees. nor care to..
but it just seems like the most sensible answer

it probably might be just your node.. and how it just logs things
EG your node watching ALL the blockchain, all transactions... but triggered at 14:03 by the
bc1qgrjjf3xaf9ejmm5lcsfl0e2ep63t6zcxf7h9sw
efa697ee815ee0d2b4840c436836efd5c94fc550d0da55a9513ecfef2562e68f

at 14:03.. your node then seen where funds came from to THEN at 14:03 add in previous txid to wallet. but logged the time they were first relayed. not live.. but after the fact

meaning your logs only caused data entry at 14:03

Here's the log output of my node which seems to show it knew the address was associated to the wallet:

2024-02-20T13:27:05Z [default wallet] AddToWallet 808400b94672ec7231371432706cda38f2356e9b5435917d287349d223578d26  new

That would make sense to me but my thoughts are that if it was in fact as you described, then why would my node's log show the above transactions added to the nodes watch only list at the specific times rather than wait to add them ntil post transmission to the bc1qgrjjf3xaf9ejmm5lcsfl0e2ep63t6zcxf7h9sw address? 

each basket is about 1500btc to then trigger the ETF to then create a basket of shares to then sell shares on the ETF
previous day bc1qgrjjf3.. only had (1114) so needed ~386 to get to a rounded 1500. so receiving 403 from bc1qh9xvgs to more than hit the threshold(+17btc)

id say your node didnt pick up bc1qh9xvgs... magically  but picked up that bc1qh9xvgs sent the 403 it received to bc1qgrjjf3
so your node was jsut displaying the orgins that 403 ended up in known bc1qgrjjf3 came from bc1qh9xvgs

Update: As of 13:27 UTC today my node now shows an inbound transaction of 403.46540998 BTC received to address bc1qh9xvgsqh648q7kyq2d0uu90e7tv6ph46rjjy3n

I am however a bit confused.  How exactly did my node associate the new address to the watch only list in my node as the last command I entered was only the following and so it did not include the new address that shows this inbound transaction.

Clearly somehow the node understood that this new address is associated to this group of addresses in the watch only list but I don't understand how it was able to do so.  Furthermore I see that the following transactions occurred in the following order which further confuses me but perhaps makes sense to others here:

The last transaction seems to be an address that their site has already posted to previously ( bc1qgrjjf3xaf9ejmm5lcsfl0e2ep63t6zcxf7h9sw ) and it seems like that's where the current 403.46540998 BTC are located and as such my node's watch list currently matches the total amount of BTC that BitWise shows on their site (https://bitbetf.com/) however as I said I'm confused how my wallet knew to associate the transaction today to address bc1qh9xvgsqh648q7kyq2d0uu90e7tv6ph46rjjy3n  when it was never imported into the node as watch only address.

Any input here would be much appreciated.

it appears that bitwise is moving funds from its published reserve address(1CKV) where alot of coins were accumulated in coinbase prime custody of one legacy address. and shuffling them around WITHIN coinbase prime custodian to settle down into smaller manageable basket amounts of different segwit addresses within custody of ~1500btc baskets

Ok so has anyone else noticed that within just a few days after they moved their Bitcoin from their Coinbase custodied P2PK address ( 1CKVszDdUp4ymGceAZpGzYEFr4RPNHYqaM ) to their current SegWit address lists that are posted to https://bitbetf.com/ that there's already a discrepancy?  I guess Wall St is going to try to Wall St even if we know they're fibbing.  I mean as per my node currently the addresses they've posted (as of 17 Feb 1700 UTC) are as follows:

Total value shown on my node as of this post is a value of 22,114.33078249 Bitcoins vs. their site bitbetf.com that shows they have 22,517.79 which is a difference of 403.45914782 Bitcoin.  This is a substantial difference!  If you look at it in USD then the amount of difference is $20,576,416.54 at $51,000 per Bitcoin or rather 740,292.0143486239 shares of the ETF assuming the amount of BTC per BitWise ETF is in fact set to .000545 BTC per share as indicated on the bitbetf.com site.  Either way I think it's important to watch these folks as closely as we can and to report any discrepancies ASAP for community awareness and vetting.

From my standpoint it's more likely that they either somehow posted the wrong total, or forgot to add the new address however that seems unlikely as it seems pretty clear that they're stacking 1500 Bitcoin in each address and the last one (bc1qgrjjf3xaf9ejmm5lcsfl0e2ep63t6zcxf7h9sw)  currently has 1114.33071307  BTC.  Any thoughts?
