You forget that this is a community that threatens violence over this sort of bullshit.

It's widely regarded as complete bullshit and can be fooled by almost anybody who cares to.

Bear in mind that this is the same sort of analysis that attributed large amounts of the initially mined coins to "Satoshi", when they were in fact core developer Gregory Maxwell's. There's a lot of room for error, espec

Bear in mind that the connection between these addresses is tenuous at best. There's very little to suggest that the same person owns all of these transactions. The paths are fairly convoluted, it could be a normal user or a mixer or a

Its a "public" copy of the message, it's been no doubt emailed to the person in question as well. Posting it here, on reddit and on bitcointalk is just the author being pushy.

What do you believe "DDoS protection" entails? You got referred to cloudflare, a free* reverse proxy is as good as it's going to get. I can't imagine being attacked like that is anything like the norm.

How do you know your coin isn't a duplicate of another? You'd need some sort of distributed consensus to allow you to independently verify its authenticity.

Until otherwise proven, it's coincidence. Assuming just complicates things.

The "analysis" is frequently totally incorrect, I've looked at it before and I wasn't impressed. They mostly hinge on the assumption that if 1x sends to 1y then 1y is owned by 1x, which is obviously complete nonsense. On

Just because it's not posted publicly doesn't mean it won't be used by whatever parties have it. Given that this seems to be an American posting (comments about pizza and beer) and not the badly-typed Russian hacker earlier,

I doubt it, they've sent almost 5BTC over 2300 transactions to that address so far. I personally know somebody who got caught out with it, and another with the static change address in the transaction view of the same site.

There's 2^160 different public keys, the chance of hitting one of this accidentally is so vanishingly small that it doesn't even warrant thinking about it. The improbability of this event is literally the basis of all cryptology;
