Topic: How anonymous is BTC/Can they find my name? (Read 308 times)
as far as I know, you can't know the person's name. However, I think it's someone's privacy, so all you can do is ask for his name. but in conducting transactions at the exchanger, the name is not so important. but, if he has a connection with the exchanger team concerned, he might have the chance to find out his real name by looking at his KYC.
Why is he asking for your name? If he is going to send you some bitcoins, all he needs is your wallet address, nothing else.
My guess is that you are using a service that requires KYC! Even if this is the case, you have the right to withdraw to any address you want... be it your wife's address or anyone else's.
I don't recommend using platforms that require KYC though.
Anyway, the short answer to your question: if you are going to give them your wife's address, it's unlikely that they will be able to link it to her name.
Why don't you create your own binance account or use a desktop wallet to receive the payment?!

If you/your wife has done higher level KYC at Binance then Binance will know your name and details but no one else will get that information as Binance would never share them. Also the popular question which everyone asked, "Why the need of a Name" in crypto transfer.?
Who is the person that is asking for your name, the same person your wife sent the 0.05BTC? Or just someone else? I don't see why anyone should be asking for your name to send money to you, BTC doesn't work that way.
If you want to do transaction with BTC all you need is just the wallet address and nothing else. If you are the one receiving, you just have to copy your wallet address and send it to the person that's sending the money to you and they will copy-paste it to send. But, then asking for your name? I don't see the reason why they should. You should be very careful and not make the mistake of even sending the private keys to them, because if you do that they are just going to have access to your wallet and steal every money in it. So, be careful man.

My wife made an account on Binance, made a deposit with her credit card, and then transferred 0.05BTC to a guy. That’s the only thing she have used the account for.
Now I’m going to receive some BTC on my wife’s Binance account, and he is asking for my name, but as told it’s not the same a on the Binance account.
The question is, are there some way that he can see what name the account was made in?
Have a great day
Bitcoin has nothing to do with your anonymity at this point. There are some ways of course and it includes: He works in binance and has access to some serious things and second - he has someone who works in binance with access on needed things.First post here on the forum

Otherwise bitcoin has nothing to do with your name.
And please can you clarify who is asking for your name? The guy which was deposited by your wife? Or absolutely different person? If he is asking, then just ignore that question, all he needs is your wallet adress to send bitcoins.
So chill out, he can't see real full name of your account.
Why would the "guy" ask for the name?
If it is a representative from Binance then your privacy in terms of your identity is somehow safe, not that I don't trust exchanges due to their KYC policies.
Technically you're not that known in your name in Binance as the information kept there is safe, even though I heard that there was an information leak that happened previously but no they won't know your name and it is for verification purposes.

No one can find out your binance account's name other than the exchange officials all you need to give is your bitcoin deposit address and ask him to send bitcoins to your address.But banks know you made transaction with her credit card into binance trading and also binance knows that while others have no clue to find that.First post here on the forum

I would suggest that before having personal transactions to that person you don't know personally, both parties must meet each other upon having payment transaction. Nowadays, we should be more vigilant and don't ever trust those guys you've know virtually. Avoid digital sending without having an assurance.

That's impossible unless you give it to him or the Binance itself give it to him. Bitcoin although can be tracked, your information is still anonymous in using it because it's decntralized and the location of sender or receiver can't be traced too. If you don't know that guy, don't give your real information to him because his intention could be negative against you.First post here on the forum

Keeping our security as an anonymous to other people will always be a safe ways to handle things over when trading at any exchanges. Sometimes it sounded too shady if somebody required you to give full identication from you when sending crypto amounts. What's important is the address itself, and don't care of any legit identity to be provided to recipients because possible breaching of personal data will tend to happen.

I dont think there is a way for another user (the guy who received 0.05BTC) to find out your name since the funds will arrive to his wallet with only a BTC address as a clue. Unless you posted your BTC address somewhere and claimed that its yours. Even if stake your BTC address here, it will not point directly to you because here we use usernames and not our real names and again unless you posted here or somewhere a link between you and your username.

No, there's no way for the guy to see the name of your Binance account. Bitcoin addresses doesn't have any name attach to it.
Something's fishy here, just don't give your name to that guy, just your Binance deposit address, as he might be up to something not good with your account.
May we know the full story of this? I have a bad feeling about the guy since he asked for a name which as said above is not needed in order to send coins.
There are a lot of cases where scammers would twist some stuff about how bitcoin (or anything related) works. Be vigilant.
Same thoughts where that person is just making some invalid way on sending those coins thats why he do ask for a name then give out a reason that the name isnt the same which a possible reason that he wont able to sent those coins back.There are a lot of cases where scammers would twist some stuff about how bitcoin (or anything related) works. Be vigilant.
We have known these kind of modus in the past.If that guy wont sent out those btc's after she gave out his own wallet address then shes definitely dealing with a scammer.
Maybe that guy is just exchanging names with you. A friendly conversation indeed.
Possible but the guy argue that he do have different account name which we can presume that he's up to something.
The question is, are there some way that he can see what name the account was made in?
Quick answer: NO
Even a Binance staff or customer support can't just do looked on that easily and I don't see any reason why should they do that.
Maybe that guy is just exchanging names with you. A friendly conversation indeed.
Even you provide your name, there is no way that guy can send you the funds. All he needs to know is your BTC address and it's fine to provide him your wife's Binance BTC address. I think there's a piece of the story we don't know so maybe you can consider posting the screenshot of your conversation with the guy, well only if you just think it's fine to post it here in public.

-Your wife made an account on Binance. Purchase BTC via credit card.
-She sends BTC0.05 to a guy
-You are expecting to received payment on the same guy?
-Now he wants your name.
Is this right?
You can just provide your wife's BTC address on Binance.
Why he needs your name?

Since you said it is not the same as the binance account much better mention the name of the exchange or the wallet where you created your account. So that we know exactly what you are trying to say.
If you created account/wallet from the web or software the important thing they always ask is the bitcoin address if she is going to send a BTC you need to give your BTC address from the account/wallet you created. You don't need to give your name from any exchanges just provide your BTC address to your wife.
And actually there's no way to know if what is your name in your account if you are using other exchanges. Your wallet BTC address is enough to receive bitcoin from someone.
This feels odds. So the guy wants to return the money to you via Binance? Did he not ask for your deposit address? Is he going to repay with Bitcoin too or is he going to pay with fiat?
If he's going to pay you with Bitcoin, most people would ask for your address and not your account name.
He won't be able to know your name just from the TX, unless he can get access to the exchange database.
I have the feels that the amount of 0.05 btc was given to a random guy might offering some good returns thru binance and then just simply have that alibi on asking its name If he's going to pay you with Bitcoin, most people would ask for your address and not your account name.
He won't be able to know your name just from the TX, unless he can get access to the exchange database.
and telling that the name isnt the same which is total BS. Supposedly he would sent out btc therefore theres no need for those personal info, a btc address would already be enough.
If feel that his wife being scammed? what you think?
So your wife sends BTC to a guy and the guy will send BTC to your account and the way to do it is learning your name first? It sounds you have been scammed already.
This is just how I understood it though. I could be wrong. If he gave his name to this scammer then he knew you and if you claim he had scammed you, he can track you since he knew your name. This is the kind of criminals that will terrorize the internet.
