...If you take certain precautions and pay the right price (pay for mixing services) then you can stay anonymous with bitcoin.

Since 2010 there have been dozens (perhaps hundreds, or even thousands) of media articles that call Bitcoin "anonymous", so many people believe that even though it is not true.

If you use Tor, bitcoin fog, and wifi hot spots then you could effectively use bitcoin and be anonymous.

In reality, unless you are dealing with a lot of money (at least 6 figures, as measured in US Dollar equivalent) then most likely, no one will be able/bother to discover your identity.

How did we even end up talking about how to remain anonymous when this thread started with our Frappuchino loving Frenchman on that island far far east? Grin

If the glass tower you sit in is high enough, are you then anonymous?

Will the goxing ever end? Shocked

Perhaps after the courts are finally finished. If the exchange is allowed to re-open, then the Goxing might never end.

The Goxing will come to an end and here's how: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7862638

I guess one of the flaws of bitcoin... this guy is gonna go free and clear because bitcoin is anonymous. The beauty of it and also the flaw in this case.

Bitcoin is not completely anonymous, but many media/news stories have incorrectly said it is.

I thought it was basically fully anonymous? What aspect isnt? You mean when we fund the accounts or purchase bitcoin?

"While the Bitcoin technology can support strong anonymity, the current implementation is usually not very anonymous."

Zero coin has it's own risks that are not related to anonymity, mainly that of getting enough users to use zerocoin. Another issue is that Zerocoin essentially uses blockchain.info's shared coin on every transaction, and this has proven to not be 100% anon.

You are forgeting the biggest problem with ZeroCoin, if im not mistaken, it generates a file that contains a key that would give access to unlimited double spending, total control. You trust that this third party would destroy the key. This is insanely ridiculous. Im not touching ZeroCoin with a stick attached to a laser point if that was the case.

It seems pretty ridiculous to me that you would take shits in the middle of the city up high on there. What is this? The place itself doesn't make me mad as it seems full of toxic hair, dust, and pollution. What makes me irate is the fact he spends more in a month than I can make in a year. If I had that kind of money I would be chilling in some island, not in the middle of a city. The bloody bastard. Im Lucky I never put my 0.3 BTC in Mt Gox Cheesy

Only if you solo mined them in 2010 through tor, if that even was possible.

Today if you only communicate via tor for any bitcoin related trades, have your wallet communicate with the rest of the network via tor and only connect to tor at a wifi hotspot then you really do not have any opportunities of having your identity discovered.
