A User by the name rekcahxfb of posted a giveaway of 1000 btc on bitcointalk today. link
It still seems like you can enter the giveaway he even has signed proof showing ownership of funds.
and a ready transaction to burn the 1000 bitcoins in case he dies before the giveaway finishes. (he sent a test transaction of 10 btc to 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE)
The users name reversed is bfxhacker But it seems that the coins have no association to the recent hack according to Rampion they appear to be from a 2013 scam/hack of inputs.io
Rampions post
- The coins come from a 2013 address, not linked at all with Bitfinex. SOURCE
- That address is very probably linked with the inputs.io scam/hack. SOURCE
- The person who declared the giveaway will post an address himself and send the money to that address
- He will then be able to claim he got the money from a giveaway and not from hacking/scamming
From this thread
Most people are speculating that TradeFortress is sending himself BTC in a elaborate way to claim he got them from a giveaway more info in the links above.
He also apparently sent 30 bitcoins to other users and even some mods according to redsnow without them posting there addresses.
So he is putting on a very big show personally I think it is worth throwing an address up there just in case but do not get your hopes to high.
Goodluck winning 1000 Bitcoins
