Re: CoinWallet.eu Stress Test Cancelled + Bitcoin Giveaway

I'll try a syllogism:

1. 1aajpztNecNzGBDjJhGfkrsUJFgeyhBgY and 1aa5cmqmvQq8YQTEqcTmW7dfBNuFwgdCD and other addresses starting with "1aa" are collecting efficiently the dust with amaclin methods (same 'k' and P2PK outputs) . "1aa5cmqmv...." was reported here from amaclin too as an example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1175321.msg12405319#msg12405319. To me they seem amaclin addresses.

2. 1aaf64VJGMuYuRBMmM9y2s2pPADFpuqDE started to collect dust before priv keys were announced on internet. It stopped 1 hour before to release the keys. An example, 8 september: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/e198f3608705e1654a3d0d2ce56bdc5b81f0bfc9e1597a268eebcd124881773b

3. "1aa5cmq..." is an input for a transaction to "1aaf64...." here: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/b80ca4aa385f2a0a91b7625eab05df6e8e20fd81c53ba4c3fd1a1efc2fe056fd

4. "1aajpz..." is an input TOGETHER a "1aaf64...." input for a transaction here: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/ca0447b99a1fd68fc157b9cd45343f4793ec9d47818d0375d51675113110d99a

5. Supposed result: these addresses belongs to amaclin and amaclin is behind coinwallet.eu stress-test/giveaway.

I agree that most 1aa.. addresses probably belong to amaclin (he has been using vanity addresses like this since December last year). However I doubt that 5. is a correct conclusion unless you can show me a transaction where one of the 1aa addresses is used as input for the original high-fee dust creating spam transactions.

That he "started early" could easily be explained if these addresses were weak brainwallets (coinwallet.eu used brainwallets in their first stress test). Also amaclin has the programs and the knowledge how to sweep these addresses. This is why he got a big part of the "Bitcoin Giveaway". There is nothing wrong with that, of course.

BTW, are there 791 published private keys now or have I been missing a post? I count about 6.5 BTC left in 650k coins (all are probably already triple- or quadruple-spent but still unconfirmed).
