I’m hoping some of the Bitcoin experts here can help me understand what happened.
I recently made a BTC withdrawal from GoMining to my Kraken deposit address.
GoMining withdrawal screen showed:
Withdrawal Amount:
0.00343202 BTC
Fee:
0 BTC
You’ll Receive:
0.00343202 BTC
Kraken later credited:
0.00342000 BTC
Difference:
0.00001202 BTC (1,202 sats)
Kraken manually reviewed the deposit and confirmed that transaction:
a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112
was the transaction that delivered funds to my Kraken deposit address and that the amount received was exactly:
0.00342000 BTC
Looking at the transaction on mempool.space:
Transaction:
a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112
Input:
bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr
0.00343202 BTC
Outputs:
0.00342000 BTC
to:
3KtixuucHp3ZFSex3847Liv6v8m1xnvt8y
0.00001060 BTC
to:
bc1qgcq078znysgm6fsveu894e32mrzqy9n9ncjg0w
Miner Fee:
0.00000142 BTC
(142 sats)
The math balances perfectly:
0.00342000 BTC
+ 0.00001060 BTC
+ 0.00000142 BTC
= 0.00343202 BTC
GoMining states that their withdrawal transaction is:
95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d
and that transaction a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112 was not created by them.
Kraken states that they do not know who controls:
bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr
and that GoMining would need to explain how transaction:
95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d
ultimately resulted in transaction:
a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112
being created.
My goal is not to accuse either company of anything.
I’m simply trying to understand:
Who likely controlled the input address:
bc1qr2hhvpf3m0z4sx90nxqydccxlxkf4pe5mjfhcr
What the 1,060 sat output to:
bc1qgcq078znysgm6fsveu894e32mrzqy9n9ncjg0w
most likely represents.
Whether this looks like a normal custody, batching, forwarding, exchange, or UTXO management process.
Whether anyone can determine the relationship between:
95333b087645e5fa1c2b64ea5e62f41ac3929a673aa7186697cf3a73916cd51d
and
a86609911ead87031cf75a808a965802f3adaa9f07e4fd0b88d66ea72a159112
from publicly available blockchain data.
Any help would be appreciated.
