Hm? I think this is being read in a confused way— that some gazillion coins are mine or something.
Basically people were going around claiming that _all_ the unspent coins during a particular time period were "satoshi's"— and this is a claim which is obviously untrue on its face, if nothing else because there are other people who mined blocks during time (and lost them), including myself. Thats all. Nothing especially interesting.
Reliably analysis from historical data is pretty lossy. Bitcoin exists in an odd equilibrium where speculative analysis from the chain alone is both enough to frequently break privacy but often not enough to make reliable inferences.
- nwh 13y agoIn hindsight I see how people have read this in a way I didn't intend, I'm being bitten by HN's two hour editing window. I meant that people picked out a large amount of coins as "satoshi's", and you mentioned that some of them were yours. If I could edit or delete the parent I certainly would.
