- dr_dshiv 6y agoPutin?
- nickthemagicman 6y agoIt's deff some oligarch or major business entity.
- biolurker1 6y agoProbably exchange to exchange cold wallets etc
- olliej 6y agoYeah how much do the big exchanges manage?
- stevewodil 6y ago>I'm not sure why we keep doing this. >This is not a Xapo wallet anymore, this is a BitGo custodial wallet for Bitstamp's cold storage that was migrated October 2019 and you can trace the coins from there.
- RandomBacon 6y agoI doubt businesses like it when others can see their financial transfers. In other news: An unknown amount of Monero was transfered from an unknown wallet to an unknown wallet.
- jtsiskin 6y agoA billion dollars controlled by a single private key. Makes me nervous to even think about. I wonder how it’s sharded/backed up/secured. It’s worth it for an attacker to spend a million dollars for a 0.1% chance of stealing access.
- magma17 6y agopretty sure is multisig
- dkdk8283 6y agoA company I know of uses modified laptops across multiple locations and each one has a shard of the key. Chipsets are removed. Disabling all USB / bluetooth / ethernet / sound / etc. I dont recall the exact details but apparently there is a market for devices like this.
- Tycho 6y agoIs it possible to securely transfer bitcoin offline? Like if someone hands you a thumb drive and says “this contains a key for a $1m wallet”, you don’t know if they kept a copy of the key. But is there some mechanism whereby it could be guaranteed that you have the only copy?
- baobabKoodaa 6y agoNo, if the transfer is offline, there can be no guarantees that the same person didn't try to double spend by transferring the same funds to someone else (unless you involve a trusted third party).
- olliej 6y agoI assume the question is “can you do all the transaction signing offline” before actually posting it. E.g. 1. Pull current BTC hash/tree/whatever-is-needed-in-a-transaction copy onto usb stick 2. Transfer that data to machine with account key via a usb stick or some other connection that has no external communication 3. Use that information to generate the transaction 4. Copy the transaction to the connected machine - a photo of the transaction text on screen even :) 5. Push the transaction out 6. Destroy the intermediate storage devices Would that work?

- coreblocks 6y agoThat’s basically what a hardware wallet like ledger or trezor is.
- lozf 6y agoUnless the seed was used elsewhere / in another similar device.

- nikolay 6y agoTime to cash in from the recent pump & dump?
- webgoat 6y agoWhat's the point in using a decentralized exchange medium if you're ultimately storing your money in a centralized exchange and giving them nearly the same level of power over your money as a bank?
- ramblerman 6y agoIs the USD valuation really correct though? I doubt anyone could sell that amount, and not affect the exchange rate drastically.
- mensetmanusman 6y agoTrying to liquify that into dollars all at once would show the world how valuable BTC really is.
- doonesbury 6y agoOk but what'd they do with rest of it?
