Re: [ANN][AID] AidBit | Digital-currency redefined | POW/POS | Groestl

Just a heads up and a word to the wise. I've come across some very suspect activity on the part of Crypto Hunger's DGB groestl pool payout management. It was quite easy to flush out given Crypto Hunger's extremely high hashrate in a very newly created algo environment, but since it would not be as easily discovered in a more balanced and mature mining network, I thought it best to bring it to your attention . . . given that if it happened once, it probably has happened before (and/or is still happening).

This is the post documenting the discovery with all the necessary links to confirm this very inflammatory data. (BTW, his response was that he is "not going to explain anything", and you can see his entire post later in the same thread, as well as the serendipitous issues that led to this discovery earlier on, also in that same thread.)

srcxxx,

Quick question that I hope you can clarify: all subsidies for blocks found on your pool ( http://cryptohunger.com:81/ ) have had 25% taken right off the top and sent to another address. What is the reason for that?

Here's the block explorer summary for Newly Generated Coins for blocks found by Crypto Hunger:

As can be easily seen, there are two payout addresses:

D96y4y74NUegfYJ8yn9chxbPLrRiypCF6V
and
DBy3212dWAPPzPcyt5fSSchjyozyr5ejLw

When one follows the "money trail", one sees that there are indeed multiple payouts to multiple addresses (miner payouts) for D96y4y74NUegfYJ8yn9chxbPLrRiypCF6V .

HOWEVER, the other address, DBy3212dWAPPzPcyt5fSSchjyozyr5ejLw , has ONLY re-SENT coins to ONE address for a total of just over a million DGB and it also still has a current balance of just under another 3/4 of a million DGB!

The address that has received the one million DGB, DRykTe2nXZpSX1KytPXjvPhGfCAXb4ZBM6 , has also received DGB from other addresses, has only sent 128,100 DGB and has a current account balance of 1,371,300.

That all means that, in less than four days, from Newly Generated Coins on Crypto Hunger, around 1.75 million DGB, or roughly 25% of subsidies, have NOT gone to miner payouts, but are currently "parked" in two separate accounts.

What's the purpose for this?

Just out of curiosity.
