How anonymous are BTCs and transactions.
For average user Bitcoin is not anonymous at all.

Could you elaborate a little bit more for me, a new bitcoiner?  Tongue

For paranoid user Bitcoin might be anonymous, if he does all right

Most people use a coin mixer to mix their coins to make them pretty much untraceable in the Blockchain.

I used http://www.bitcoinfog.com and looked into blockchain, how mixing looks like..
Service has a very good ratings over here, I personally did not lose any coin, except service fee (1-3 percent random)
(just a newbie post...)

No!
The IP you see is just the one who relayed the transaction, every node relay all transactions. Nothing more nothing less. It DO NOT help you in identifying who made the transaction.

Blockchain.info is connected to about 1000 nodes. There is some chance Blockchain.info is connected directly to sender

Let's clear that:

I know you can see of the transaction information from blockchain, but i'm guessing there is nothing logged by IP address or browser agent information anywhere.


Not in a blockchain but every node can keep record of IP they received the transaction

Blockchain.info shows the IP of relayed transaction - doesnt need to be sender but it might be

hmmmm...interesting.  Thanks for this.  I'll have to look into this a little more.

I work for a payment network, and we've been seeing more and more fraudulent transactions of customers accounts being compromised and purchasing Bitcoins with stolen dollars.

I know you can see of the transaction information from blockchain, but i'm guessing there is nothing logged by IP address or browser agent information anywhere.

Essentially what would be interesting is to see the wallet that was funded and work backwards to see if they were receiving any other payments from BTC sellers.
