Earlier this month on the 2nd of November the Litecoin community processed a brand new each day file of 67,142 transactions, reaching ranges that had been final seen in September of 2018 and surpassing all prior yearly information in response to knowledge offered by BitInfoCharts. Not all is because it appears nevertheless and the anomalous statistics stands out when put within the context of the usual ~20,000 each day transactions we usually see.

Nearly all of these transactions seem to have originated between blocks **1729590 & [1729630](https://blockchair.com/litecoin/block/1729630)** and the offender seems to be a single actor on the community as all these transactions lead again to at least one deal with: LasGvLmUa527EWT2kq5R5ZohhFBysZQYnv

The deal with break up Ł0.26872732 evenly into quantities of Ł0.00000410 between 45,000+ deal with over 18 transactions. All of the deal with concerned had been ltc1 in any other case referred to as bech32 (native segwit) kind addresses. As soon as break up the cash had been then despatched in quantities of Ł0.00000300 to different distinctive bech32 deal with leading to over 45,000 new transactions being broadcast onto the community, inflicting the anomalous spike.

Whereas this exercise shares many traits with a typical mud assault, all of the addresses concerned appear to be newly generated so the motive behind this behaviour seems to extra probably be personal testing and never monitoring different community individuals. That is supported by the truth that a majority of the cash have been consolidated again collectively shortly after.

The transfer has subsequently notably prompted Segwit utilization to hit a brand new excessive of 87% earlier than receding again to round ~70% the place it presently sits.
