An entity from the Satoshi era appears again. On this occasion it was revealed through a set of transactions involving coins mined between August and November 2010, sent to an unknown address.
As we can see in Bitcoin explorers, in total 117 transactions were transferred. Of which, 39 are coins mined at that time (coinbase). The transfer of the set was exactly 2,000 BTC, valued today at USD 178 million.
The striking thing about these transfers, beyond the amount involved, is related to the fact that several of the Coinbase addresses (50 BTC each, which represents the mining reward in 2010) received some transactions from another unknown entity 4 years ago. , which hide a message.
The message says “let’s use full power of anonymity. See memo dot sv topic hmwyda», which translates as “let’s use the power of anonymity” and then refers to a social network website called Memo SV.
The meaning of the hidden message, which includes a reference to the term ‘hmwyda’, is unclear. and for a long time users of the Memo SV social network have speculated about its meaning. In fact, there are numerous entries on this topic on that network, in various languages, such as Russian, Portuguese, English and Spanish, but the purpose of this message remains an enigma. Although some speculate that Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of Bitcoin, could be behind this mystery, the evidence is insufficient to support such a claim.
As NoticiasVE reported in March of this year, it is not the first time that this mysterious entity sends this hidden message. At that time, the investigation went back to 2021, when the first traces of this message were known. Furthermore, as on that occasion, the miner carried out the operations in the middle of an all-time high (ATH) of bitcoin.
The new discoveries go further, because the message may have first spread in September 2020 (as far as we know now). Additionally, more hidden messages were discovered in this investigation at other times, specifically between January and February 2021.
The mystery miner’s activity was not limited to the initial consolidation of funds. Subsequently, hundreds of additional transactions were executed, many of them consolidated in different addresses. Consolidating in this context means joining or bringing together several individual transactions into a single record or set of data. The presence of patterns in the transactions that hide the message is notable, such as sequences that started from 0.00000547 BTC and followed one another in order: 0.00000548 BTC, 0.00000549 BTC and so on.
It is striking that the consolidation of the 2,000 BTC carried out by this entity, contains a group of at least 100 transactions that have the same value of 0.0000547 BTC. However, this time we were unable to decipher a new message. Perhaps, the entity is only consolidating the satoshis it used to create the previous messages, in the event that they are the same person or group of people, although this has not been proven.
It is evident that whoever is behind these operations has deep technical knowledge of Bitcoin, suggesting possible involvement in mining in the early age of the network. The sophistication of the transactions, executed in batches and handled discreetly, indicates a high level of expertise and a clear intention to conceal their identity.
