Is it actually that easy to publicly track transactions? // serious question, somewhat new to the whole process still

Tracking the bitcoin transcations is very easy as all transactions are recorded on the blockchain and is accessible to every one.
But with coin mixing, it becomes nearly impossible to find the mixed coins from the pre-mixed coins.

Interesting..thanks! So what if they have your address though?

From your bitcoin address, they can see all the incoming transcations and outgoing transcations of your address.
They could keep going backward and forward to see where you coins come from and where you coins go to.
However, they won't be able to tell who the owners of those addresses are, unless the address is a well known one.

With the actual address though, there's nothing they can do, correct? For example, I use Armory to manage my wallet, so if someone were to get one of the deposit addresses, there's nothing they could do, right? Even if the address is well-known, how would that benefit the person; is there a way to link the account with the original registered IP address or something? Haha, sorry for all the questions

Yes, they can't spend anything. But they may get IP address mainly if you re-use the address. But that won't do anything too. Roll Eyes

You can just change BTC to any alt, LTC has the highest volume, and then back from that coin to BTC. No need to use those mixers, as some of them are scams, watch out for that !

One possible problem is that the exchanges will keep the logs of the trade.
If you don't mind that, you could have simply deposited your bitcoin to a trusted casino and withdraw your coin to your new address.

Mix coins before using on darkweb.
Might be a good idea not to put your tor chat id on your bitcointalk profile, easy now to link this account to your tor chat id then find you. Take better steps if you want to remain anonymous

Use a laundry machine service.

Bitmixer.io is a better one here. But, I would choose sharedcoin. It is easy and has small fee. Roll Eyes

I don't want to post my personal information here, because according to you I want to do something very illegal to hide that information

Who cares what I think?  Are you planning to do something illegal?  If not, post your name and picture as I have.  Otherwise, fool, shut up.   Wink

Is that why you aren't using your real name on here? Why don't you post up a real pic of you instead of Peter Griffin? Why don't you post your home address on your Bitcointalk profile? Is it because you're doing something very illegal?

My real name is well known.  My picture is on this forum.

I am a scam buster - I destroy scam attempts.  That makes scammers angry.  That's why I don't post my home address.

Understand?   Grin

Great, why don't you post your address here for good luck?

Scared that you'll be caught doing something illegal?

First of all, you post your full name and picture.   Smiley

Because obviously the all-knowing, all-good government will protect you from anything that comes out of your address being leaked on the web, and to try and evade the creeping loving hand of Big Brother means you must be wanting to do something wrong

Why trouble yourself with anonymity here on the forum? Only theymos can see your ip address and he doesn't care about you having multiple accounts.

He obviously wants to do something very illegal and doesn't want it traced back to his real life identity.

He can't scam with newbie accounts. Members are cleverer now. I think he wants to farm accounts and sell them off later.

Best way is to use a coin mixer.

There are many people using mixers these days to stay anonymous.

Mix the coins...

Bitmixer.io small fees excellent service!

Why even go through the hassle of paying to use a coinmixer for this when you can just send the payment to any bitcoin casino of your choice and then withdraw it? If you want further privacy find a site that allows tor and create a new account. 

You don't know what logs are being kept by those sites.... the fee of withdrawing is allmost similar to the fee of bitmixer.io

What about using multiple sites (your wallet -> casino -> another casino -> another casino) ?
No one will know your original address, unless all those sites cooperate with each other.

Simple.  First create the account from a public, anonymous internet connection like a public library or a Starbucks.  Then only use Tor for accessing the account in the future.

Also, make sure you wear your Guy Fawkes mask at the library or Starbucks so you can't be identified on surveillance cameras. Cool

This is probably the best idea

And I'm not worried about surveillance cameras watching my Bitcointalk account because they're looking out for property theft and I'd appear to just be a regular user

Of course it's the best idea but not because I said it. Cool
In spite of all the FUD flying around about Tor sucking, being cracked by the NSA, etc., Tor is still the single best tool for online anonymity.

If the NSA could really crack TOR, they'd be using that computing power to attack Russia or China first, by cracking into their banks

Unless you're going to scam someone why are you so paranoid? Theymos will be the only one who has access to this and he will have no reason to go through the logs to see which address the payment came from then to try tie it to someone. Just send the money to some bitcoin address or another site then send to the forum address.

"Unless you're doing something wrong, you have nothing to hide"

You're implying that if I want rights, it must mean I'm doing something wrong. I have an idea. Why don't you just tell us all your IP Address, country, political views, Bitcoin address, transaction logs, interests, etc.

Don't you dare say no, because if you have nothing to hide, I am obligated to know that information (If you can let the NSA know, why don't you just tell it to us as well? I am more harmless than the NSA after all)

Oh and, even if I were to scam someone, I could do it with this account and easily get away with it.

I think mods can whitelist proxybanned accounts so you don't have to pay the fee. Maybe ask one of them, but they will obviously know your account name then.

That kinda defeats the purpose



I guess I could always find another forum, one hosted on the deepweb itself perhaps

I wanted to set up a new account over TOR, but it says I have to pay a tax for that

Now here's the problem, all transactions on the Blockchain are logged, and if I send one from my main wallet they will automatically know it's me who possesses the account, just by tracking my wallet.

How can I overcome this problem?
You planning an attempt to scam us?
