I also spent months reading and lurking on this forum before I made an account and then had to wait 4 more hours to be able to post something anywhere but here.  It is the price you pay to get a chance to start a ponzi scheme!

Not sure how much more clear it can be. There's also a sticky thread.

It is a little bit hard for a newcomer to find about those restrictions. Are they shown when registering ?

Okay, first post.

I'm a PhD in math and have been looking at Bitcoins for a month or so. I heart pseudo-anonymous crypto-currency.

I'm very interested in analysis techniques which track transactions and attempt to identify the person behind the coins. I want to understand this not to remove anonymity but to improve it.

Mostly though, I'm spamming here to hit my 5 post requirement.

Not too bad for a first spam. Smiley

I don't think there are any direct ways to identify the owner of a wallet, but there may be many circumspect, statistical ways. For example, if you know that a certain person has received a certain amount, you could scan the blockchain for exactly that amount. If you can do that several times, the likelihood of error can be driven way down.

Of course there are defense mechanisms against this. The sender could split up payments and distribute them over several wallets, for example.

I understand the 5 post rule and I do read english.

I shouldn't have lurked so long before actually wanting to post. God damned laziness strikes again.

This 5-post-rule seems a bit weird.. It would seem that it encourages people to spam/troll in the newbies section, posting useless stuff. Like I'm doing now... But so be it.
