That took me a while to get read it al but it was worth the read. I don't necessarily agree with all of their thinking but they have ideas I do understand the end goal. I don't think I am in need of that much stealth for what I do.

Ditto I will give this a read later as well but thanks for reminding me to check out the next issue of Wired
Was reading about Occultus Rift and virtual reality becoming reality finally so they always have interesting articles.
Thanks for the share

I love how Bitcoin is so mainstream now, so that the old school adherents get to work to restore original values.

Just like punk rock or hip hop ...

Personally, I've never been tempted to mix my coins... they're anonymous enough if you don't post your address to anyone and you're not doing nefarious activities. Just my 2 cents though.

I would be concerned about mixing services. Who do you turn to if they abscond with your bit coin? I think funneling it through multiple exchanges converting it to different currencies several times would do the trick wouldn't it? There aren't really any trust less solutions out there currently.

Nobody. There isn't anybody who can really help you if they steal the coins. Exchanges work fine, as long as they don't give you back the same coins you gave them (usually not the case as they all get moved to a cold storage wallet when deposited). You don't even need to do a currency conversion - just withdraw to a different address and no one will know except the exchange. Do this with multiple exchanges and basically it's untraceable.

That was an interesting article, bravo! Thanks for posting it.

For little fishez like most of us there are already tools that we can use that will hide our BTC transaction tracks from all but the most determined and highly skilled trackers:

-- buy a used laptop from a pawn shop (pay cash) and use its wifi where you normally never go...
-- use TOR (although I personally do not know how, rumor has it that TOR may be compromised anyway)
-- use mixing services for your BTC. I like the mixing services bitmixer.io and sharedcoin.com, use both...
-- make LOTS of transactions via multiple wallets

If you are doing nothing illegal, and the amounts are fairly small, it is hard for me to see anyone getting "caught". Caught for what?
