They were purchased anonymously at a restaurant halfway between Sandwich, IL, and Chicago, in Naperville, IL, about the second week of December, 2012. Taxing my memory, the total was 1,132 + x(single digit).xxx... and immediately put in a freshly created InstaWallet bitcoin wallet.
Do you remember if you did it with a single or several transactions ? It you did it with several tx, I fear the results sent by Nicolas and I won't match your case.

A couple/three days later I split the three accounts up into 1,000, 132, and x.xxx... wallets, always using InstaWallet while in my possession. Hope that helps with your plans.
Same question: Do you remember if you did the split in a single or several transactions ?

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Clearly there was no independent auditor with any credibility to support the claim or there would be independent verification by that auditor, one with the pertinent qualifications and references to support such a claim.  This is sufficiently established.  The misleading information concerning a validation by an independent auditor contributes to criminal intent by a party to the incident.

That's exactly what I'm been trying say, albeit I did such with 5k-10k words, but I like your version better.

laurentmt, refactored because my previous code will make python programmers think C# is not nice... SQL Style Wink
(Actually, I rarely use this LINQ syntax, it is just to show off  Cool)

I don't read the leveldb, NBitcoin use Sqlite as a nosql store Sad
Well. I've used a trick. I've got a blockchain loaded in a neo4j db (which has a sql-like language called cypher).

I did not checked for the 1FrtkNXastDoMAaorowys27AKQERxgmZjY in my first dump. What does this address correspond to ?
It seems to be the cold wallet used by Instawallet but i didn't find anything which looked like a direct tx to this address with the given amount.

Maybe we can find a graph relationship... fun thing to do if bruno need it... (and willing to lend a small motivator bounty Shocked)

All depends how small. I don't want to be giving away the farm.  Roll Eyes Grin You all know that I'm on record in stating that I'm willing to dole out 400 BTC once I'm returned the entire 1,132 BTC, thus anything you want between 1 and 400 BTC is on the table, not a satoshi more or less.

Thanks, guys. You seem to have done more in hours what davout claims to have taken him a couple days, and he's running an exchange. That's a scary thought.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for davout to the independent auditor outta his ass.

I have Windows 8 now, but the old laptop was Vista, if that's what you're asking. The address was scanned via QR-code either from InstaWallet's page, where it was created, or from blockchain.info, even though there was nothing in it at the time.

Sorry, not clear on that. I'm asking what was the software/website used by the guy that did the transfer to your first address in that restaurant.

Also why are you mentioning blockchain.info ? Was your first address hosted by instawallet or blockchain.info ? (supposing they had a wallet at that time, I don't remember)


I have no idea as to what software/website the other guy was using.

I only mentioned blockchain.info because there's a QR-Code associated with each wallet, and the transfer was done via that QR-C or one on InstaWallet if it was available with the newly created bitcoin wallet.

I've done some C# (with WPF) in the past and I can testify that it's a very nice language.

Maybe we can find a graph relationship... fun thing to do if bruno need it... (and willing to lend a small motivator bounty Shocked)
Yep. I'm going to try that. Keep you in touch.

[EDIT] Time to sleep. I've launched a search for a graph relationship between candidate txs and the cold wallet. I'm not sure if it makes sense to look for this relationship but we'll see the results. If I can, I'll try another search corresponding to the split.

I'm going to check if I can use one of my previous dev to compute some tainting and find an indirect link but not sure of the result. Tainting is very ressource-consuming and requires something stronger than a laptop.

@Phinnaeus : another list here if it can help.
It's a list of txs sent in December 2012 or January 2013 with a txo between 1100 and 1200 btc (ordered by ascending amounts and then by dates)
EDIT : Here's the same list but ordered by dates first.

I've also looked for amounts > 1100 and directly sent to 1FrtkNXastDoMAaorowys27AKQERxgmZjY (cold wallet) but nothing seems to match your amount (Tx sent on 01/17/13 is a split of the cold wallet).

---------------------------
Now, we would need to do some taint tracing to check if we can link one of the tx identified with the cold wallet. I'm going to do some tests with some of the identified txs.

Thanks, Phinnaeus, I guess you can start digging from those and see if you recognize something (or other amount / addresses from your split, depending how Instawallet worked for that).

an output above 1100 going into an input of a transaction going into 1FrtkNXastDoMAaorowys27AKQERxgmZjY in December 2012 / January 2013 looks like a good starting point.
@btchip: I'll bring back my laptop to the hackathon. Finding the tx corresponding to these criteria should be pretty doable with a graphdb.

I had a laptop and he had a smartphone (don't believe it was one of those tablet thingies). What do you mean by client?

The software / website used to perform this transfer.

Although from your previous information someone with a scanner should be able to confirm the first wallet address.

Holy motherfuckin' shit! I've reached the end of this thread, and it only took me 9 hours from when I started, not yet visiting anything else on this forum, sans a tad of hunting, or Google news. I did follow a link to some flood in South America though via the IRC link, but that's it.

I feel so much better now knowing that I honestly/justifiably increased the bare minimum I will now accept from Paymium to $150K USD via BTC, no longer feeling retarded.
