I haven't seen a marketplace "break" withdrawals by reducing the transaction (miners') fee since the start of the sheepMarketplace scam.

to compare, a healthy marketplace's balance on a Saturday is 4000 btc

I've been careful to stick to the facts, without speculation or advising anyone to withdraw their bitcoin..

Alphabay's wallets are impossible to profile. We do not even know where that 137 BTC comes from. Many crawlers like walletexplorer profile wallets by following transaction change inputs coming from "test" withdrawals. When you followed all change outputs, you generally have a good idea of the marketplace's holdings and you can profile their wallets with quite good accuracy.

This holds true for hot wallet holdings. Alphabay's cold coins are tumbled and placed in thousands of hidden wallets that are impossible to find / prove, and contain very small amounts to go under the radar. And we move them often. Alphabay's trading volume / coin holdings are secret and will never be released. This removes possible evidence against staff members or large vendors who might get arrested.

As for the data shown by WalletExplorer: some addresses are true, some not. We have internal tumblers, so their crawler must have followed dummy change outputs from withdrawals that are in reality internal mixing. This is another reason why some users might have deposit addresses that already have transactions on them. This is all part of an ongoing effort to protect our users. It would be easy to check all addresses on WalletExplorer and see which ones send coins to exchangers, and arrest people that way. Fortunately, we took care of obfuscating this track.

Sudden bitcoin price dips usually have a DNM cause. Somebody is probably dumping a load of bitcoin onto the exchanges. It will be interesting to see which exchange dips the most.

it was BTCe during the sheepmarketplace exit scam.

You know it's important when BBMC brings the proof. :)

That's because wallet explorer can only show what it can see.

I read that AB were tumbling coins so that they couldn't be traced.

My withdrawal has just gone through.

Lay off the meth my f(r)iends?


[1 Points] None:

Why would any market have so many coins just sitting there? Or am I missing something? Surely you'd remove them and launder them as quickly as you can?

Its like there is something in your broadcast that my tranceiver just cannot decrypt.. It is almost as if you are trying to commincate with my station, but your message is so unclear to me..

Edit: After updating my comsec card I have determined you wish to become a sandwich vendor, as they are more simplistic to synth, Is that correct?


[0 Points] Mynanasnortsket:

Beebs You just have to go read the threads on the reddit of multiple vendors complaining, Saying trappy has stolen info and is now unresponsive, and that bitcoin balance is bullshit.

Something's not right.....

Great but you add one personal opinion what can't be called fact. Its more personal view . I disagree how until now there wasn't a market with withdraw issues due low transaction fee.

to stick to the facts

I have seen first hand walletexplorer is prone to inaccuracy, its an educated guess they have, nothing else
