Yep, almost done.  It's got a lot harder to double spend over the last few hours as the mempools become more homogeneous.  My score is a big fat 0BTC -- which was the plan all along.

We did manage to pump the daily txs to an all time record: https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions
Over at r/bitcoin they are trying to figure out what it going on.

Interestingly, coinwallet only released a fraction of their keys (mostly from the early Sept spam attack).  They have not released the most keys from the late July/early Aug spam attack.  The latter looks to be about 5-6x bigger.


Total received: 28.15759741 BTC on 791 addresses (unless I have a bug in my quick 'n dirty counting script).   Does this mean that the keys for the remaining 172 BTC will be published later?



28 BTC from inputs or outputs? I mean, 28 BTC including fees?

@amaclin: bc.i reports a wrong confirmed balance for your "1aa5..." address
Do you know why? A possible bug?
I do not care. Why do you care?

Just curious why bc.i act differently.

P.S. If we think this as a "game"  Smiley, is it correct remove "1aaf64..." from your score, right? It was without competition  Grin
Have I said that this is fair game? Welcome to real world.

Haha no, I didnt think that was a fair game. But I am glad to have a good result in competition  Grin

Everyone here is just a troll. The guy saying he got 4 btc hasn't shown a speck of proof, meanwhile I post I got a little BTC and he lambasts me and someone attacks me. I don't think any of you can program for shit and are just trying to discourage me.

Well it goes to the miners, but it's ruining the "giveaway" for people that actually want to do it.
Merging two outputs to one as you did - this destroys the network by increased traffic.
Why should 6000 nodes resend your 0.00001 values?

I don't understand why someone would do that, there's no gain for them besides upsetting the people like me who worked hard to build a sweeper program.
Just for fun. You are not 5-year-old boy. Don't cry. Next time you will be winner. Trust me.

His program just intercepts sweepers, it doesn't make its own transactions.
His program reduces spam in bitcoin network. Very fast and efficient.

I would be more understanding if it went after unspent transactions in general, but he is literally just attacking my program from what he says
Welcome to bitcoin world.
The most important lesson I learned is to not post about anything until it is done, because there are malicious people who will try and ruin your efforts out of jealousy.

Don't even try to act like it reduces spam, throwing up another layer of transactions on top of mine does not reduce spam at all. If my transactions were "left alone" there would be less spam than if you and him double spended it.

You were trolling me yesterday, and then when I start getting proof that my program is working someone else comes along and says they are working to try and spite me, and apparently you guys love each other so it makes me wonder if you're the same person. You guys will be hearing nothing from me anymore until I am finished.

LOL. Are you serious?

Finally got it working and fully automated!!! Took long enough. Let's see how much BTC I can make Smiley

I was talking about coinwallet.eu, not you...The 200BTC "giveaway".
I do not know where you took the number 200.
Seems to me that the sum is much smaller. I am too lazy and I do not have any reason to calculate their spending.
May be is was 200, but a big part of this sum went to fees while splitting to dust.


Here, the OP:

....cut...

Tomorrow’s test will not occur as planned. CoinWallet.eu will not be sending a single transaction. Instead, we will be giving away over 200 Bitcoins to the community. Previous tests have involved splitting bitcoins into hundreds of thousands of tiny outputs. Now, as a gift to the community, all of the private keys that contain those outputs will be posted publicly, making the coins free for the taking.

...cut...

I dont know if someone has verified this

"I'll try a syllogism"
In my language the "syllogizm" is a "statement of the two preconditions"
this was an example of bad logic and spreading rumors, not a syllogizm

In my language too, indeed it wasn't a right syllogism, for that I was joking. But I realize what you mean, I'll edit that message.

@elmad
my cards are always opened in this game.
i share my knowledge with everyone who wants to listen me.
you do not need to "discover secrets". you can just ask me and i will answer.

I know, I thanked you before in this thread for your hints Smiley . It was a sort of joke, indeed I started with: "I'll try a syllogism". And anyway if were you I wasn't thinking bad of your actions. Sorry if it seemed so.

That he "started early" could easily be explained if these addresses were weak brainwallets
No Smiley I've received several privatekeys directly from coinwallet.
we were in email contact
and I suggested them to use https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1166928 for stress-testing

So I was right for the most part Grin

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.


EDIT: point five was just a bad joke. A right 5 could be:

5. "1aaf64..." started to collect dust before priv keys were publicly announced and it is probably an amaclin vanity address.

Is it possibile to forge a P2PK transaction instead of a P2PKH transaction, using bitcoind rpc reference client? It seems no to me, just asking to be sure.

I took ~4BTC from these keys. What do you mean by "useless"? Useless for you?  Grin
You did? Please give us proof and share the knowledge of how you did it. In the process you've sucessfully cooperated on the evil plan (i.e. harming Bitcoin). Honestly, if it were a little less damaging I would have kept trying stuff. People should have stopped this when it began, yet they continued trying to get small bits of money.

Anyhow, from the looks of it the number of TX is persistent but the mempool size is going down. We're currently at: 166,845 (120MB) on blocktrail. It will take a while before this goes back to normal.

He did for sure, in the past I read from him more advanced scan on the blockchain than this, he has bots that scans the blockchain for unsecure priv keys, and these things need a good knowledge of ECSDA signing and bitcoin protocol. And you can read in this thread his talk with basil, if you understand what they say. Is not that a proof? It's disturbing reading these doubts and pretending explanations. If you read this thread he gave hints, has he to do all the work for us? Without you do your homework to know and to understand?

Regarding the evil plan, I agree that the intent was this, but if Bitcoin doesn't resist a such attack why Bitcoin should survive? We can se that it resisted, and you can see that after @basil posts that amaclin swicthed his bots to clean the dust giving all profit to miners, so you should thanks them for clean the dust if you care about the mempool size problem...


P.S. If i did 0.23BTC in some hour at the right time with my "learning mess code"...

Some of the older encoded txs (XX, XY, XW, R, DS) will likely bounce around for a while.  I've set my script to double-spend them.
No need to do it. Because my script converts everything to "my address".
And your script converts my result to OP_RETURN.
Unfortunately to me, I can not beat you Smiley

OK, the game is over. From this moment all dust outputs from compromised private keys will go to miners only.  Grin

@basil00, You took my profits, the son of a bitch !  Grin Grin Grin


@amaclin what fee were you using when you took profit? How many satoshis for byte?

I thought this was an interesting experiment, so I tried it:
double-spending the 0-conf coinwallet "sweeper" spam.
Below is a quick write-up:

@elmad, this is an answer how to create the transaction without retrieving utxo from the blockchain  Grin



Thanks, later I thought that you meant double spending but I have not researched the procedure. Thanks to you and @basil00 for these posts.

Yeah, I understood, I meant that, use a service asking utxos

No more hints!  Grin This was my last help!

Oh... ok, I thought there was a strange way, but utxos are inputs for the transaction, so I have to know and to sign they. You meant that it's not necessary to import a priv key and build a set of available utxos but I knew already that.
I mean that you can transfer this part of work to somebody else.
There are hundreds of persons who already have the set of unspent outputs.
Why not to use their work instead?

Yeah, I understood, I meant that, use a service asking utxos

What do you mean here? Is there a method to create a transaction without retrieve UTXOs? I dont think so, but I'm just curious about this affirmation.
Maybe did you mean different libraries to use for create transactions?
