I wonder if this guy is getting ready to dump at the next bubble. send us all back to 2012

It looks like the note was attached to the transaction under it.
Okay. Damn, that would have been some excitement if the note was for the 150K.
EDIT: I don't think this is actually a DPR address, just one with ~ the same number of coins.

It's bitstamp's coins. They come from this address https://blockchain.info/address/1EFJUipfCHFmmTFkF9vvjFKdBf3VbfvarM?offset=0&filter=0 and as can be seen some transactions are withdrawals to bitstamp's audit.

I wonder why all the small amounts with messages were being sent to it.
There are many people having a look at the blockchain.info page of an address that big.So these small amounts are just attention whores, beggars hoping some idiot donates to them, people advertising their crappy sites, some even linking to a scamming site, etc. Sometimes the messages are funny though.
Seemed to have worked though. He garnered a few donations. https://blockchain.info/address/1AGM3JWQ2TV6diDCRh2KthMb8UdUzy9Agb

Uh oh someone discovered my secret stash

Maybe the guy above was buying a mansion and not thinking about revolution at all? Interesting public note though. Revolutions are always messy -- we get a sanitized version of the American Revolution in history books here in the U.S. but I bet dealing with a cold starving army was not fun for George Washington -- and a decentralized one would be worse because how do you know whether the infantry coming toward you is friend or foe.

"Blockchain Graffiti" LOL
Crazy to leave so much in a single wallet though.

How does one attach a public note 'spam' to the transaction? Can't this be prevented? I hate crypto-begging

The revolution will not be centralized..who knows what miracle happens, when you believe
July 03, 2014, 09:09:38 AM
To confirm I mean I didn't think of the answer you suggested..... not I didn't think of sending a tiny transaction with a message in it heh (well i didn't think of that too either i suppose)
July 03, 2014, 09:08:14 AM
hmmm pretty good answer. I didn't think of that

Any chance that this is part of the stash confiscated by the US govt?
Unlikely I suppose given the message

Doubtful that the entity that owns that private key also wrote that message.

how people can store all bitcoin in a single adress ... it's insane in this world !
use multi-wallet to store multi-amount (like 15x 10k BTC).

So it's not only that address but 11 of the top 12 address and more below that.
So what are these coins, Bitstamp or something?

Yes - I get now that the small amounts were being sent in *order to leave graffiti" - funnily enough I was actually one of the people who first requested blockchain.info to allow messages to be added to txs (in order to tag "tasks" for my own system - although I never ended up actually doing that).

The DPR is 144K : http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100
Thanks - so it is the richest single address - I wonder why all the small amounts with messages were being sent to it.

Wow that is a awefull lot of coins!
Hopefully not a exchange moving online wallets content to a offshore bitcoin account.
Great to see, people are watching the movement of coins on the blockchain.

Yeah - mostly just stupid stuff - hadn't even realised that this "top 100" website existed.
It is surprising to me that someone would risk having such a huge amount in a single address.
