How the waves are evidenced

Ten waves combine chain analysis with what people said in public — claims on particular coins, reports of a sweep that claim none of it, and published figures to check against.

Together they contain 5,477 swept addresses, 7,346 UTXOs, and 1,433.13 BTC in input value.

Each wave combines chain analysis with the public evidence anchoring its tracked destinations. Totals include every UTXO consumed from a swept address; they do not establish who originally funded each UTXO, and in zero of the ten waves nobody has claimed a swept address at all. Value includes the sweep fee.

Tracked sweep, UTXO and BTC totals against published figures. Counts are compared inside the block range the publisher stated; value is compared against whichever total they were quoting.

960395 · difference details +

Their row mixes two bases, which is why it used to read as three disagreements. The BTC is what the vaults hold — 207.72939540 against their 207.7294, exact once compared against the right column, and net of the onward hop's 362,604 satoshis of fees. The counts are scoped to their window, and inside it this record shows one sweep and one UTXO fewer: 299 and 2,349 against their 300 and 2,350.

That last difference is NOT accounted for, and it is one fact rather than two: they hold a sweep of exactly one input inside their window that this record does not, and this record holds a seven-input sweep at block 960395 that their window opens too late to see. The two offset, which is why the whole-wave counts read 300 against 300 and 2,356 against 2,350 — an exact agreement on transactions that is arithmetic, not confirmation.

Their BTC being equal to the vault total to the satoshi says the missing sweep's coins never reached a vault, so there is no value to search on and its holding address never moved onward — which would make it the only one of 295 that did not, where all 294 here moved. Searching for it anyway: 26,467 untracked one-in one-out P2WPKH sweeps sit in the window, 7,708 pay an address funded once and never spent, and 23 of those also carry all four of this wave's build traits. Every one of the 23 pays between 1 and 6 sat/vB, where this wave's one-input sweeps pay 200 in 36 of 79 cases and no single fee in the rest. The wave's own habits do not narrow it to one, and nothing here should pretend otherwise: their 300th sweep is unidentified.
