Abstract(in English) As recent research has revealed, Bitcoin is used as fraudulent activities such as HYIP (High Yield Investment Programs). In this situation, it is an urgent demand to identify addresses and/or transactions related with fraud. However, the previous works focused more on the relationships among Bitcoin addresses without considering each address's characteristic of transactions. In this paper, we follow a different approach for summarizing the flow of Bitcoin transactions. Based on the manual inspection of HYIP activity in Bitcoin, we propose a novel feature extraction scheme to quantify transaction patterns. The proposed scheme will be evaluated with the real dataset.
