I hate to be the one to break it to you, but there are no actual coins so you will have to come up with another idea.

Anyway, this is in the wrong forum. You should move it.

I think a voluntary system is perfectly fine - i.e. bitcoin clients and services that recognize an address as being marked as 'bad' and refuse to process any transactions from it.

The major problem is.. who gets to say which addresses get marked as dirty?  What would the burden of proof be?

If I can lay a claim against random person that they stole my Bitcoin after hacking my account 'somehow' - when in reality, I paid it to them for some services, but there's no paperwork of it, and the default is to just grant the claim.. that random person is going to be a might bit upset.

yea that is the major issue, how to deal with that part

maybe some kind of voting system.  not sure figured it is worth a conversation.

all i know is that when something like this happens it impacts the lives of real people.

00 -clean
01 -dirty
11 -stolen

I am sure more  digits can be used to create a percentage of the mix. I\m not a programmer but I am sure someone on here has the mathematical skills to figure this out.


I ask this because I think it is f--ked up that people steal other peoples money.  


This is not what this should be about.  If you are smart enough to crack into a safe, you are smart enough to make money without harming others.  If you are doing it to make a statement there are better ways to do it.
