capture held

Galaxy Research explains that it promotes addresses to the confirmed victim or attacker set only when it has high confidence, usually from multiple victim confirmations. It says outstanding candidates for promotion could take the total loss above 2,300 BTC if they are eventually confirmed. Held as a methodology and loss-estimate update.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.

Also held inside a captured conversation

This post is held twice: here, with this project's own note on why it matters, and again as part of the conversation captured at 7 August update: $111M confirmed, 1,719 BTC, 25+ patterns, which is polled for changes. Both copies are the same post; neither is a separate event.
