Did the snapchatdb.info guys change the donation address? Its now reporting as 1M7rREovDkdEh4mZrYNgcj1FECRknFLuRz

They have already got $1USD for this. https://blockchain.info/address/1M7rREovDkdEh4mZrYNgcj1FECRk...

When i first read your post smtddr i got worried we had a collision! Ive found the quality of blockchain auditing in 2013 highly inaccurate. I recently bring attention to the case recently on reddit where someone 'chased' the SMP thief through a tumbler and found... the 96k wallet allegedly owned by btc-e. Its a shame if a non published address of yours has been tainted in someones inaccurate blockchain analysis.

w-ll was talking about the original BTC address in my profile being on the known list for cryptolocker. The same address I linked to in my reply to her/him. When you say "we", who are you?

Also, that whole reddit thread about chasing the SMP stolen coins I thought was too hard to actually pull off. For example, I use coinbase to buy BTC, to send to BTC-e.com, to buy Litecoins and ultimately store them in the offline address that's in my HN profile. Can anyone show me the blockchain.info URLs that would prove my actions? If the SMP people changed coin-types, that's how it'd end up on BTC-e.com's wallet. In fact, maybe that same flawed logic is how my BTC-e.com address ended up in that list - capturing addresses that BTC-e.com uses for its customers or internal operations.

Please consider corresponding with the author of the Github repo to see if they can figure out why that address was included in the list.

Based on the page for that tool ( http://miki.it/articles/papers/#bitiodine ), it looks like they would be interested to know of the failure.

And done... https://github.com/mikispag/bitiodine/issues/3

This whole incident reminds me of Reddit doxxing. This could have ended up much worse for me. I'm just glad I found out this way instead of the police requesting info from Google about my youtube account and gmail inbox then busting down my door in the middle of the night.
