Updated: Sean Spicer Tweeted a Bitcoin Address-- Not His Password

On January 26th of 2017 Sean Spicer using his verified twitter account tweeted the string “n9y25ah7”

Now, around this time so called tech experts in the mainstream press assumed multiple things:

1) That this tweet was accidental.
2) That this was either some kind of quickly changed twitter password, or just a random string of letters.
But none are true. It wasn’t a password.

(Editor: Even some of the best hackers missed it 🙂 )

What Mr. Spicer tweeted was actually an “identity confirmation code” – part of a bitcoin transaction. Just take a look at this:

This is part of a bitcoin transaction.

From bitcoin address 19FkmhHEzgCXKfALXhahuCTDVcRnxT41MK to bitcoin address 1MNDjuPfXt3B66cWPaC17qFLkwd3usufT5 in the amount of 1.13 USD

The money came to the sending account 3 days before, for the exact sum of 1.14 USD at the time of this writing, .01 USD was used for the transaction itself.

(I use USD value here for the sake of clarity, but technically bitcoin is counted in BTC and the fractions of bitcoin this represents is too unwieldy to bother with.).

So Sean Spicer bought something with bitcoin, as himself. He wanted the people selling to him to know exactly who he was. It was probably some kind of verification code.

What he was buying with the bitcoin is anyone’s guess at this point. The low amount of money involved makes it seem extra strange. The address that received the bitcoin to also gained 3 more payments on march 3rd, very large payments. Over $22,000 dollars worth. https://blockchain.info/address/1MNDjuPfXt3B66cWPaC17qFLkwd3usufT5

4. Low amounts might be verifications to test the account before allowing larger BT fund transfers.

.

New bank account ACH and EFTs, PayPal and the like are tested using two transfers of pennies to verify that the account is working properly. With BT, instead of amounts under $1, they are using amounts just above $1 to perform this validation process.

After outbound debits, credits would occur to refund the amount drafted.
