Add to that @Atko will not even explain what happened. If this site was not a honeypot before, I'll put up a bitcoin it is now. Not that it matters since user funding and ads have been deactivated for months which brings up the question of funding. Though why fund a site when the development is effectively dead, with no new features after the big port.
I don't actually believe this is voat's wallet.
I did when I posted that buy have since seen the error i made.
I have no idea how much btc voat has. I clicked on this post hoping someone had actually figured it out, only to find that they were linking to my post from a year ago. funny
It’s cause they keep moving it as soon as it’s donated, or at least as far as I can tell. I saw 6 bitcoins donated 11 months ago, and have seen the amounts come and go, but can’t find the original threads.
Interesting. It's something I haven't tracked or stayed on top of.
I don't know of any reliable block explorer tools that reliably allow you to track someone's bitcoin funds. Some of the larger, older bitcoin wallets have been identified and people track them, but if someone is trying to obfuscate their wallet balance, I think it's really hard to track them without NSA-level resources at your disposal. I think it's only going to get harder over time to as more crypto currencies adopt privacy features. For example, you can use Bitcoin Cash, XVG, and Monero (as well as others) virtually anonymously in an untraceable way. I use Bitcoin Cash almost exclusively.
You can also launder them through an exchange (Binance, HitBTC, Poloniex, ...) by trading them for another cryptocurrency like Monero or XVG, then trading them back to BTC

They had 49 bitcoins when they shut down donations. 37 cashed out, with the remaining 12, they have nothing to worry about for awhile.

A good python script pointed to the URL resources with a known blockchain to monitor would be able to track it. NSA not needed.

There are variety of ways to defeat that for someone wanting to cover their trail. You can launder bitcoins using a tumbler (or mixer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency_tumbler
