One thing is certain, old addresses from 2009-2010 have been active for some time now. And transfers to exchanges and other addresses are made from them. It is logical that if you have found a vulnerability, it is better to use old wallets, because in this case, few will be able to confirm the legitimacy of these coins, because they have long lost the keys.
Of what "exploited vulnerability" are you talking about? Not yet saying it's nonsense, but without evidence, close to.
I can assure you that ~1,096,255.x
BTC1 which are attributed to the entity "
Patoshi" and mostly held in near 22k coinbase UTXOs didn't move so far, despite the known transactions that Satoshi spent from block #9. I'm not saying
thethat Satoshi and Patoshi are the same entity, but it's quite plausible to me,
that they
likely are.
I have a watch-only wallet with 21,954 combo() descriptors of mined Patoshi-blocks from 2009-2010 and I would see any spending from those, which simply didn't happen. combo() descriptors match any address type, except Taproot as far as I remember.
The only transactions I see are "donations" mostly to the Genesis block, but also rarely to some other blocks that are believed to belong to Satoshi's stash. It's commonly dust but some are sort of generous like this recent
300k sats transaction.
Of course, there have been way larger "donations", although large ones are rare. All this bloats the UTXO set as it's not likely they will be consolidated.Not sure why you bring this up in this puzzle topic, but we've seen worse blabbering.
1Current balance according to my watch-only wallet. My sample of Patoshi attributed blocks has a few errors which I don't know if it has been corrected from the list of attributed blocks. I haven't corrected my descriptors yet, so the balance could be off by a few hundred or low thousands bitcoin. It's definitely more than a million bitcoin plus/minus give or take.
