Sorry for obvious questions:
Why did they need to leak keys such an obscure fashion? Why not just flood the internet with it?
Oliver Sanders
opinions on this transaction? could it be a dms to a trusted outsider? wikileaks didn't transfer anything in months and the largest transaction prior to this one was years ago.
Jonathan Moore
Because the blockchain can not be altered.
Mason Lewis
if you alter the keys they wont work and we would know they have been altered because they would not work.
get your head out of your ass
Isaiah Ross
Highly likely, and the best place to look as of now. A DMS with a month delay makes as much sense as any other timer, and is more reasonable than a 24 hour one incase theres a medical emergency or whatnot that would prevent being checked on and reset.
Christopher Hall

Still cant alter things already in the blockchain without changing every subsequent block
Robert Baker
A blockchain is a distributed ledger. you cant change things in the chain without changing subsequent blocks, which would lead other users to reject your version.
Hunter Wright
Its great that the blockchain serves as a historical record as a release of the keys. The implication for this is really cool (you could encode all sorts of things the people in control don't want out there, like DRM keys or something) but it doesn't answer my question
If he really is dead, why not just flood the internet with the keys? Its impossible to moderate the entire internet, especially TOR with that level of precision. They can dump the keys in hundreds of places at once.
Why risk doing it only on the blockchain where it might go unnoticed or where it may not be recovered?
Landon Evans
I don't know much about embedding informations in the blockchain, do you think there's anything useful here:

Wikileaks does not control its infrastructure anymore, they've taken over by various governments.
See what a guy from Wikileaks wrote:
Nolan Hill
you are preaching to the choir
because in our infinite wisdom we forgot common sense. doesn't seem something a smart person would do huh. it's almost counter-productive to the whole "DMS" angle
Ryan Reyes
What a world we live in
Eli Thompson
I don't buy the he's dead stuff. He's probably just got no internet, doing a lot of reading and pretty depressed.
The whole computer generated video thing is a bit tinfoil; looks to me like compression issue.
Also if there was pictures of the raid; they can't silence everyone and they can't be so "clean".
I just don't think he's dead and until there's conclusive proof to say he's dead or missing then I'd avoid the tinfoil hat stuff.
Isaac Thomas
actually i would like to add, the only reason they would want to transmit the keys this way, is if he was alive and just wanted to get it out to other people without it being compromised. yes that would mean the flood and misinformation was caused by them.
Isaac Bell

And, Assange? completely cut off from internet? No posts from embassycat? No credible signs of life. We're not as dumb as you old farts in london police or cia/nsa think.

Brody Ward
No proof of life, weird as fuck wikileaks tweets including calling an otherchan post fake, now the wikileaks bitcoin wallet has been emptied in a possible dms to get the keys out.
Cooper Sanchez
How the fuck do you know that they emptied their coffers? that could just be part payment for services.
He's not dead. I'm not buying it until there is conclusive proof. Not some tinfoil hat video shit...
Jeremiah Parker
blockchain.info
The money is gone nigga, vast amounts of it. The size of the transactions are also larger than normal, indicating text could have been included in the transactions.
I personally don't think hes dead, but he's very likely been vanned by someone.

You underestimate their ability to shut down sites, the internet and the few people that would have the keys at the end of that. Have you noticed how hard it is to download music nowadays? How immediately they shut down links?
Brandon Jenkins
HAPPENING
First time they've sent bitcoins in months. They sent $37k to one address in one transaction.
Then $31k to another address but they did it in like 18 different transactions.
Either
1) This is the Deadman switch fall back going off at the month interval.
or
2)Wikileaks is so compromised that they even took control of their bitcoin and are now trying to throw us off the trail of where to actually look in the blockchain.

They have record of everything posted in real time. They can probably shut down any site they want, legally or not.

if whoever took over WL doesn't have the pgp keys for twitter posts it's unlikely they have access to the bitcoin wallets.
WL operatives would have encrypted everything. So this is likely someone within the org finally get set up to securely transfer the coins out.

You'd be surprised actually, London is full of imsi catchers and signal jammers in key locations and an embassy is typically a good spot for something like that to be used on. My guess is the embassy has all wireless communication blocked and only use a controlled cable network for any site online access.

Well it would be easy for the usual targets, that work with the goverment on a daily basis; Google, Facebook etc.
Then only smaller sites are left, again not hard to find out if something gets posted somewhere if the site is indexed.
Only issues would be deepweb and darkweb, but when info gets out in small circles like these, it doesnt really matter does it?
Jace Morales
it's decoding not decrypting, the embedded text should be in hex, I'll look into it after dinner (can't do it now since I'm cooking).

So here you can download the blockchain.

So there is no need to Download the entire blockchain right since all of wikileaks transactions are listet there?

Bruteforcing is not an option.
Good luck cracking 2^255 combinations. To quote a guy on StackOverflow:
This is a Really Big Number. If every atom on earth (about 1.3 * 1050 atoms) was a computer that could try ten billion keys a second, it would still take about 2.84 billion years.
Andrew Martinez
>again not hard to find out if something gets posted somewhere if the site is indexed.
You are vastly overestimating the ability of search engines.
Here's a simple example. Go into ms paint, write out a number using the mouse and the pencil tool, save an image. Post the image in the usual channels. You can't stop that.
These people can't stop online child pornography, drug traffiking, piracy, fraud, identity theft, etc. You think they can honestly stop a few numbers from being written online?
I'm all for a good conspiracy theory but this makes no sense for releasing information publicly.
Putting information in the blockchain is amazing though, I'm genuinely curious as to what is going on.

>There are millions of websites, erasing a few tokens of text from millions of potential targets is absurd.
I alluded to the possibility of widespread censorship. They have the infrastructure to do that, blatantly or not, shutting down sites, ISPs, seizing servers, cutting power.
'Erasing tokens of text' was never my word on the matter, you brought that up yourself.
They can blame it on foreign DoS, even if it's a lie.
