That's great because all the evil is traced from TX iD Bitcoin.
All crimes must be destroyed which is caused by Bitcoin.

Robbery, extortion, drugs, the sale of children using Bitcoin is really a disgrace for Bitcoin.

I wish they'd be smoked one after the other from all their hiding places because they abusing the use of bitcoin and it's hindering bitcoin from becoming a full-scale, widely-accepted currency as we all expect it to be. They are responsible for all the various governmental attempts to ban and bans we hear about and the earlier they are brought to book the better for us all.

I take this very positively, Bitcoin was always blamed as drug money by fools, now they will start understanding that Bitcoin is not a drug or extortion money.

Increasingly difficult for error settings to secure data as well as transactional convenience

Bitcoin settings are mostly due to anonymity features and can not be traced. But because of other regulations demanded by the government, it is now easy to track such criminal activities. And we need more druggists and other criminals who get rid of bitcoin to clear the name of bitcoin

I find it pretty incredible that in this day and age dark web fans are still using BTC considering how rapidly tracing is evolving, not that this guy tried remotely hard in the first place.

If you are posting heroin to babies maybe it's time to make the switch to a baked in anon coin.
Quoting from that post

Quote
HE DID NOT USE AN INTERNAL PAYMENT SYSTEM THAT PROCESSES TRANSACTIONS USING AN ANONYMOUS TRANSACTION

Why didn't he do that? I suppose the market place had a system which kinda of acts like a bitcoin-mixer to keep the trades anonymous.Not using the system could be the reason in him getting traced? Actually yes, the quote below from the post

Quote
“After observing the bitcoin ‘tip jar’ advertised by OxyMonsyter, agents conducted analysis of the incoming and outgoing transactions from that bitcoin address and learned that 15 out of 17 outgoing transactions from the OxyMonster tip jar went to multiple wallets controlled by French national Gal VALLERIUS on Localbitcoins.com.”
How dumb of him to not use a mixer?

finally, those criminals deserve that.
because of them BTC is always linked to SCAM, Fraud and Drugs...
I don't want people think about BTC as a means for illegal activity... that's stupid. But people are stupid too!
so, it's better if these criminals use a different cryptocurrency instead!


There worst guys out there the drugs he was selling were relatively safe  .Also yeah he got very careless .Cant understand people the darkmarkets addresses are tracked and watched like hacks

I honestly do not fancy privacy coins too much.

Right now if you use your bank card to buy something you have absolute privacy. The merchant or anyone else who sees your details can't delve into your history or know the slightest thing about your finances.

Unless you're diligent anyone could have a sift through your Bitcoin history based off knowing one address and link you everything you've ever spent or received. If that was the case with fiat there'd be absolute uproar.

This isn't an issue as hardly anyone is spending it. It certainly would make for serious discomfort if it was the world's primary payment mechanism.

I honestly do not fancy privacy coins too much. I wish every human activity, from the governments, secret agencies to the smallest person on earth is open/transparent & there will never be need for such coins and similar services. But It is too dangerous to have some people with anonymity tools while others don't.

 What do you think will happen if places of hiding are taken away from hunted animals while the hunters alone are able to hide and hunt?  Total Massacre my dear!
Privacy/Anonymity is beautiful gift to us and animals. Do not take it for granted.

Very good, if Blockchain were adopted in public administrations corruption would be tracked easier too, like this guy was tracked dealing with drugs. The system is easy to use even for laymen and it's more transparent than any transparency system used by public administrations nowadays.

If the authorities want to take the criminals, it's better they incentive people to use Bitcoins! The problem is that in many cases the authorities have schemes with these criminals, so it's better to keep the traditional system working for the good sake of both parties... And if it's necessary to blame something, that Bitcoin be blamed as the criminal!

There was a vice doc recently about credit card scammers that used BTC. The dudes were convinced they were 100% untraceable. It's a matter of time until they're caught, if they haven't been already. DYOR goes for criminals too I guess...

I'm delight this happened to those who use BTC to buy drugs on the dark web and I'm sorry if this might have hurt any one by chance because this guys are among the reason why the government have negative thought about cryptocurrency.

That is why I know that it is fake news whenever Main Stream Media focuses their attention on ransomware using Bitcoin just to demonize Bitcoin. Bitcoin will never hide your transaction just because you are a drug supplier. It is not afraid to record every single transaction. You will be revealed in no time.

That is good news to bitcoin economy. Despite of being decentralized of this system and making transactions without the presence or knowledge of the third party still they make a solutions to the main problem of this system and that is probably using bitcoin in a lot of illegal transactions.

It's quite amazing how if you're linked to such illegal activities you don't transition away from bitcoin to some privacy coin. It's a shame because stories like this will continue to mean bitcoin is linked with illegal activities which is really not the case compared to any other currency.
Yes, that's right. Even that will be a good news that now can do identify the drug users when using btc transactions still it's a big  mest for the reputation of this system. It's still gives a bad big impact to bitcoin and it only means that until now a lot of people using this system to do their illegal activities so for the governments it's still not good for their communities and maybe this will be the cause of already banning btc to other countries.

It is good to hear that these people doing illegal stuff are caught. This kind of incident would help uplift the appearance of bitcoin to the public. I am hoping that these bad guys will be eliminated.

For the ones who would like to find a good compromise between usability and anonymity, just check my signature, and  you will see that PRiVCY is the one that you should use if you want to reach a good balance for those 2 characteristics.


Yeah, I'm pretty sure that a coin with a 66% premine and with a team of developers that has managed to have 2 threads delete here on bitcointalk in less than a week is the solution....

Loved the royalty-free pictures on the ann ...

Indeed, a true anonymous coin, even their so-called "whitepaper" will be released in Q3, probably to keep it also anonymous till you get scammed your coins  Grin

If you could earn in a hard way without breaking the law then why should you prefer on something so easy to get and has bigger risks? Some wouldn't really understand it, while some will defend their rights but well that depends on someone's perspective in life and how will make a living.

If you would have a look at the sums that are been thrown back and forth on the darknet markets you're going to change your opinion.
It's almost a rule in this world, illegal activities will always get you more money for less work. A LOT more money!!!

Druggies don't care and don't know, they assume because they can't track it no-one can. A little more research will reveal other privacy coins like monero and xspec which would be more useful to them

It seems that here we have a gathering of monkeys, who forget that if there was a first rise in BTC price & volume in 2011/2012 (an especially for the special discounts that were occurring on SilkRoad during 420 lol), that was because there was a very high need of BTC because of drug trades.
You, monkeys, would never have heard of BTC if those first transactions never took place.
Did you forget that BTC is the result of a very long cypher-punk maturation ?

Now, concerning the more educated people who intervened in that topic, they are right. Nobody should use BTC nowadays if someone's preoccupation is to be as stealth as possible.
As someone already mentioned it: BTC is only a pseudo-anonym crypto-currency.
