I'm looking for people to help validate an ongoing taint analysis of the blockchain.

So far it has only been run in my altcoin explorers (https://chainz.cryptoid.info), so this would be a first AFAIK for bitcoin, and the scale is massively larger, as are the opportunities for errors, given the complex history of bitcoin.

Ideal would be people that know how Bitcoin exchanges works, have accounts at various exchanges at which they have processed coins (deposited and or withdrawn), and that could help validate the correctness (or lack of) of the analysis.
If you have kept transaction or address information about now dead exchanges, that would be even better.

You would not have to reveal your accounts, I just need some 3rd party confirmations.

If you are a student/researcher on bitcoin blockchain and can help with the validation, you would get early access to the analysis results.

If the result are not complete bollocks, it will eventually be made public, but do not expect quick results, analysis runs take days, and when errors/bugs are found, it sometimes has to be re-run from scratch.
