The title is a bit opaque but with the domain displayed next to it I don't think it's that hard to infer hash+blocksomething=bitcoin.
For what it's worth I don't like all the Bitcoin stories on the front page but sometimes they're interesting (the slow motion train crash that is MtGox) and other times, when they'd not interesting, they're not hard to ignore.
The problem isnt just the title - this whole submission is pointless.
I saw the long hash and assumed it had something to do with bitcoin. I clicked through onto the link, but I still have no idea what's going on. I'm guessing that someone sent and recieved lots of bitcoins in one transaction, but I don't know the significance of that.
Perhaps the OP could have linked to an article discussing or describing it? Or even have made the submission a text submission and commented on it himself?
This is the largest "bitcoin days destroyed" since ever. It's also most likely Mt. Gox's bitcoins that are moving as well. This transaction can be traced back to an arbitrary transaction Mark Karpeles made to prove he still had keys to his address some time ago.
Cool facts:
- where else does $180million move without any fees, in the blink of an eye?
- some transactions after this diverted some money into Satoshi Dice, so it's most likely not the Feds who control this, and they're potentially interested in laundering potential.
