There is a live ticker box at the bottom of their web page. I wonder if these are actual transactions. If so, it's quite intense to watch folks lose their coin in real time.
- cyansmoker 5y agoAnd Yes, I understand that for each "in" transaction, an "out" counterpart is displayed so I'm obviously only wondering about the "in" ones.
- reginold 5y agoThe transactions in the live ticker are fake. You can see the real wallets/transactions referenced elsewhere in this thread.
- cyansmoker 5y agoThanks. Wonder why they keep jumping wallets. Are they getting blocked as they go?
- reginold 5y agoSpeculation: they likely jump wallets so in case a victim gets curious and checks the address they won't notice that there are never "double" transactions sent back. Open to other ideas! Looks like they switch every hour or so. In terms of "blocked as they go", afaik there's no way to "block" a wallet, so that's not the reason.
- cyansmoker 5y agoGood point @reginold I am not familiar with Ether but if it's a cold wallet, you are right. If Ether is like Bitcoin and addresses can be derivations, would using these be enough to conceal the overall lack of return transactions?
