These are all ASCII parts in coinbase transactions active around the same time. I'm assuming most of them belong to the same entity.

This shows the activity periods per ASCII combination of these pools. Each dot is a mined block. At around block 565000, the lowercase+digits ASCII combinations stopped and the mixed-case+digits ASCII combinations started. The last block was mined with 611851 by t2CG31HGnRs.

0xB10C commented 1 year ago

The mixex-case+digit blocks are clustered into the same entity by OXT.me that tagged it's blocks with /taal.com/ starting with block 612077. Taal.com is / was offering mining pool services.

It's still unclear to me if lowercase ASCII is linkable to the mixed-case ASCII.

0xB10C commented 1 year ago

The OXT.me entity for the lowercase ASCII miner is: https://oxt.me/entity/tiid/2109234910

taal.com and lowercase ASCII have similar activity times for outgoing transactions.
