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.

Thanks - so it is the richest single address - I wonder why all the small amounts with messages were being sent to it.

Just BitStamp switching cold wallets (or actually refilling hot wallet with 3K btc it seems?)

Funds are Bitstamp's cold wallet.

Check out: https://www.bitstamp.net/s/documents/Bitstamp_proof_of_reserves_statement.pdf

https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1EFJUipfCHFmmTFkF9vvjFKdBf3VbfvarM is the cold wallet address according to the pdf.

Then follow the BTC a couple transactions further and you will end up at https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1AZVcgGjb64XYzmAXwQyWCmvsZriQoiJw which made the 175k+ BTC transaction.

Follow the BTC from the 1AZV address and you will end up at this address.

Is that supposed to be the DPR stash?

If so it is rather interesting that all of those funds have now moved.


The DPR is 144K : http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100

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.

One of Satoshi's wallets perhaps? It is ~US$90M @ current rates

I just checked the individual links and you are correct. The note is part of the tiny transaction.
