~From time to time someone sends some sats to this address
If I am not wrong, there are websites that have some private keys being shared or posted because I tried accessing one of it
So you're saying you copied a private key from a website, but you may be wrong that such sites exist? Must reach that signature quotum, right?I've removed your post. This board is not for discussing centralized shitcoins.
If I am not wrong, there are websites that have some private keys being shared or posted because I tried accessing one of it (bnb network) and I tried sending a very small amount of bnb to the wallet address that didn't even reach 1 dollar but once it was in the wallet ehen the bnb was transferred right away. Although I have seen it myself but I never knew what they did use or how they monitor the wallet but it is true that leaked private keys are being monitored and in btc, the same thing goes as well.
There are bots that I believe are just built for such activity. I have encountered one myself with a friend's wallet, which got compromised due to his carelessness running after airdrops. Once you make any single deposit to withdraw whatever you have in that wallet, the bot will automatically move the funds over to another wallet, and in most cases all the transactions are sent to just one wallet. Recently, there is one new but old pattern of scam where the scammer will post their seed phrase online with a good amount of holding on them, and when you try to send a gas fee on whatever network the fund is located, it's either automatically moved out or you can't even move it out yourself because you don't have the complete access key to carry out such a transaction.
I remember once participating in a discussion on Facebook and a member posted a WIF private key as a joke, when I went to import this private key into Electrum, the server took several minutes to synchronize, as there were more than 800 incoming and outgoing transactions.
When I saw this post, I remembered all the lore surrounding this address, it's a private key of a standard brainwallet, probably with an empty string.
Addr I'm referring to:
This address once received 50BTC, it is not known if it was a donation or a mistake that some unlucky person made.
From time to time someone sends some sats to this address and it is emptied instantly, it's certainly monitored by monitoring bots.
It could also be someone practicing dusting attacks...

This is a known address, it's the default example from brainwallet. The person who sent it there either made a donation to the wrong address or made a big mistake, unfortunately.
Since it was probably a mistake, it should be returned, but we all know that doesn't happen (much often...). I guess we live and learn, unfortunately the amount of coins was significant.

I'm hoping pbies can tell me where the private key comes from.
...
I am gathering many things related to Bitcoin (WIFs, addresses, pvks, pubkeys, seeds hex, mnemos) and surroundings and as I can recall I was converting addresses<=>WIFs when I stepped into that 5JgC6gcHCkyBqmgbyarpFHBHzpfNkZYKNJA3piM42ZYbvCUc1fW WIF.
As I remember it was some stupid conversion like making WIFs from addresses or the oppostie using Base58Check both ways and so on.
That's all the story.
Things will get quite interesting once full RBF becomes commonplace. Any such transaction stealing coins from a brain wallet or leaked private key could be replaced by another transaction, regardless of whether or not is opted in to RBF. We could end up seeing different bots broadcasting more and more replacements, each paying a higher and higher fee, trying to steal the coins for themselves. Since there is no incentive for any one such bot to surrender and let another bot win, then such transactions could just escalate until the entire value (or close to it) is paid in fees.
It looks like this is becoming a reality:https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/139btc-im-looking-for-the-owner-its-important-5476101

claim 83BTC refund fee from antpool
That's going to be interesting if several people claim to be the real owner. In that case following the coins up the chain and signing a message from one of the earlier addresses will be more convincing.My take on what happened:
Address bc1qn3d7vyks0k3fx38xkxazpep8830ttmydwekrnl received funds, which were immediately transferred again. That happens to every compromised private key, and many bots must be competing to be the first to steal funds. Usually, they use a high fee. In this case, my guess is that since more and more nodes accept full RBF, this lead to a very high transaction fee. Eventually, miners will get all stolen funds and the "private key hunters" will only be left with crummies. I hope the real owner can convince Antpool he's the real owner, so they don't send it to any of the private key hunters who also have the same private key.
I knew the puzzles, but didn't catch the upgrade. For who also missed it: this transaction sent about $25 million to these addresses. That makes it worth it to allocate much more processing power to cracking the puzzles.
Crazy
Well, It's not about more power, of course anyone could use hundreds of high end GPUs to solve for example #125, the point is to find a way to solve it with the help of mind not silicon. Now that you said it, $25M is too much yet very little to spend for safety analyzing.Crazy
I wish I knew how to automate and sort data processing like you, lol I have millions of public keys I just look for collisions with my eyes.🤣

900 bitcoins to puzzle addresses
Link? On April 16, someone sent 0.09BTC to an address with publicly known private key. It disappeared instantly with a $12 fee. Someone earned stole $2700 from this.
Yeah, a lot of other things happened that day, for example the same certain someone (Satoshi) sent around 900 bitcoins to puzzle addresses to increase the prize of solving them, and you know how he is, he likes to tip people with Gs, $. 😉

I'm not in the business of spamming people.Actually.. that is a good reminder and insight. I will make sure we never spam crypto audience.

have you tried collecting all 'email addresses' posted on bitcointalk including the ones in spreadsheets? some of them include emails
it is legal as posted on public and good for cold emails

What happens if you send some coins and turn off RBF, only the first thief could get them right?
If you send funds to a compromised address, RBF doesn't matter. The thief uses CPFP and will turn off RBF (in his transaction) to prevent another thief from outbidding him.

Maybe the same guy who sent the coins to the exposed private key address, he himself swept the coins again. Maybe he's doing that for fun to create drama. Because the coins are swept instantly. Not even a minute after the receiving the coins
Unlikely.It's much more likely someone did something dumb, and many bots tried to sweep the coins at the same time. One of them was fastest and got the money.
Yesterday, 1BoatSLRHtKNngkdXEeobR76b53LETtpyT received 0.02429915BTC, which was instantly swept with a 0.001BTC fee.

I tried something new: I pruned Bitcoin Core to 20 GB, then imported the list of private keys, and did a rescan on the past few months. This shows only the recent transactions, and as a result the wallet is 11 MB instead of 2 GB. Bitcoin Core now works as expected without getting too slow to use.
Right when I wanted to post this, a "fatal error occurred" and Bitcoin Core crashed. The debug.log doesn't make sense:
