@chainsentry · 09:16 UTC 🚨 DORMANT ADDRESS REACTIVATED 🚨 A wallet mined in 2010 and untouched ever since just moved. Full balance, 50.0000 BTC, swept to a fresh address. First activity in 7,341 days.
@ngmiandy · 09:17 UTC satoshi selling the top 💀 we are so back and so over at the same time
@mooncatte · 09:18 UTC it’s a glitch. node desync or an explorer reindex. the alert bots eat one of these every couple months and twitter loses its mind every time. nothing moved. go back to sleep
@runsmyownnode · 09:22 UTC pulled it on my own node. it’s real. six confirmations, not a reorg, not a relay artifact. a 2010 key signed a spend tonight.
@firstgenbtc · 09:23 UTC ok if this is actually him, twenty years later, one last move before he goes 🫡 end of an era. say what you want, the man came back for it
@hardproblems · 09:24 UTC That’s a P2PK output. The public key (04ae1f…8c) has been sitting in the clear, on every full node on earth, since 2010. You do not spend a P2PK output without the private key.
@ngmiandy · 09:25 UTC right. satoshi had the key. that’s the whole joke
@hardproblems · 09:31 UTC There are two ways to have that key tonight. You kept it for twenty years. Or you computed it from the public key. On secp256k1. That’s the bitcoin curve. It is not only the bitcoin curve. ↻ 11.2K · ♡ 24.6K
@stillearly · 09:33 UTC doomer larp lmao. it’s a hack, an old leak, or it’s satoshi. nobody “computed” anything. touch grass and stop scaring the newcoiners 🙄
@hardproblems · 09:38 UTC I hope you’re right. I’m going to log off for a while.
@nightdesk · 09:41 UTC withdrawal queues on three major venues spiked at the same minute. that’s not retail. somebody read this thread and started moving size.
TESSERA — SERVICE STATUS
Investigating — BTC confirmation delays
09:31 UTC — We are investigating reports of delayed BTC deposit confirmations. All customer funds are safe and accounted for.
09:52 UTC — Out of an abundance of caution, we have paused BTC deposits and withdrawals while we complete our investigation. All other services remain operational.
10:14 UTC — BTC deposits and withdrawals remain paused. We are coordinating with other venues. We will provide a further update by 10:45 UTC.
10:39 UTC — We have temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals across all assets pending review. Trading remains open. We thank you for your patience.
@firstgenbtc · 10:47 UTC genuine question, somebody walk me through why i’m wrong. the thing that happened to a bitcoin key from 2010 tonight is the same math that locks your bank login, signs the update on your phone, and turns the little padlock green in your browser. all of it. tell me why i’m wrong.
