What are the Public Note: sections in the blockchain about?
One of the transactions from this account traces down to this address (https://blockchain.info/address/16cou7Ht6WjTzuFyDBnht9hmvXytg6XdVT https://blockchain.info/address/16cou7Ht6WjTzuFyDBnht9hmvXyt...) that contains 53,000 BTC. Transactions into this account have Public Notes saying things like
- Worth a shot. My sis really is dying man. https://www.facebook.com/MySisterHasCancer https://www.facebook.com/MySisterHasCancer. Debts around 310,000.00 now. I dont get it, its nothing to you..

- matteyes 13y agoI'm not really familiar with how all these annotations work, but that is spam, no? There are a few references to casions. One message about a "SR mixer" where BTC owners send an amount to a certain address to have it mixed and returned (which I don't trust a bit). It looks to me--though as I said, I may be misunderstanding it--that this account is engaged in some light BTC phishing? edit: oh, yup. misunderstanding. Those are transaction to the wallet, presumably because this wallet is so obviously well-heeled.
