Do we know any burning addresses that have funds right now? They should be written in the blockchain. I wonder of on LoyceV's csv file exist.

It's not immediately obvious if an address is a burn address but I imagine you can train a script identify them to a reasonable accuracy. Burn addresses are not the best way to burn coins as they can introduce UTXO bloat. It's better to use OP_Return.
