[Tinfoil Hat] Etherscan wallet name WACKD wakes up after McAfee's death, starts sending transactions and allegedly getting seedboxes to share a torrent. Some claim this is McAfee's dead man switch. (archive.is)

Not an expert but I shall try. I will say right from the top that this could all be nothing, call all be a troll, who knows.

In short a cryptocurrency wallet with the ID EPSTEIN and tracker ID WHACKD (exactly what those are doesn't matter for this but they're labels associated with the wallet) has just woken up after not doing anything for years, and is sending small amounts of cryptocurrency to seemingly random addresses. There are people who claim that the ID to find to this wallet was layered into the Q image which was the last post on McAfee's instagram.

At around the same time, a torrent with the label NCSWIC and size 31TB seems to have woken up. NCSWIC being an initialism for "nothing can stop what is coming". It is worth noting that in 2019, McAfee told everyone that he had 31TB of dirt on the elites tied up to a dead man's switch.

The theory is that the servers hosting that torrent were programmed to wake up when they recieved crypto from the wallet in question, and that the dirt is now up on a torrent (notoriously hard to take down) with the knowledge on how to find it baked into the Etherium blockchain (impossible to take down withotu destroying the entire cryptocurrency); and that that torrent is now out there with all of the dirt on the elites.

Having said all that, to say this requires a pinch of salt is the understatement of the century. It's all borderline impossible to verify without actually looking at the files of the torrent, and my own humble search has returned no results for the name NCWIC.

It sure didn't take long for the Q people to worm their way into the story. (or disinfo agents perhaps)

I wouldng be surprised if it turns out that Q is a CIA front

It was astroturfed far too much to be organic. Even if it began organically.

I am quite aware that there is every chance that this will be total and complete bullshit, but I figure it's better to post it on the offchance and be proven wrong.

Honestly, I half wonder if the CIA or [insert government operative here] just posted the Q thing on McAfee's insta as a pretext to get it banned/removed.

Its not like we would have any way of truly determining who or what posted that as the post itself is dated after McAfee's death.

Curious about the "notoriously hard to take down" part.

What would it take to stop its spread?

My knowledge about torrents is limited but from quick google research I'd imagine it would take someone who would monitor the torrent and keep identifying each and every new PC in the swarm and its location and have all US agencies perform a crunch and do a global blitz manhunt while MSM would make up some false narrative.

At a total size of 31TB, they could probably grab the original servers before anyone's download finishes.

Shit, to even get curious about this I'd have to spend the better part of a grand on a NAS, just to have a place to put it.

Assuming it's encoded in a compressed format and at a reasonable resolution, it could be 400 days of video. That's not a deadman switch, that's a haystack that may or may not have a needle in it. I can believe that McAfee could have stumbled upon a smoking gun, but not ten thousand hours of smoking guns.

Ten thousand hours of video would definitely have some filler, unless he got a hold of some existing blackmail material (a la Epstein's hoard).

Sounds like a job for weaponized autism.

31TB at a time when hard drive prices are at an all time high. :(

I spent over 200$ on a 256GBSSD a decade ago, and just as much on a 20GB bigfoot a decade before that. Hard drives are up a bit, but this is far from an all time high.

If it was an all time high, I'd be selling off one of my external HDDs to buy a new house. Cryptocurrency might be fucking up the market again, but it's not that bad.

I really want this 31TB thing to be real and contain some serious stuff. Not that I would download it, but its just so awesomely shadowrun. I will now await news about what might be in that torrent, because I certainly do not have 31 TB spare.

Unreal; thanks for sharing. Did you know the wallet name is the same as his tattoo?
