Lmfao I wouldn't have thought of that if you didn't bring it up. To be fair though, it's probably the most convenient way to receive tips. It's much better than displaying your bank account number, or setting up a tip jar of sorts, at least. This actually looks like a legitimate use-case lol.
But if someone does paint over it with theirs those funds will be traced and reported to the authorities.
We all know bitcoin transactions can be traced.
Sure, transactions could be traced. So for instance, they traced the bitcoin and the bitcoins ended up on the wallet address
3Justanexamplelolhahahahahahahaxd. What do they do now? They can't sort of contact like the "bitcoin customer service" or something. The person could easily get away if he/she doesn't use centralized wallets like Coinbase.
They could trace that address because it does look as if it is a vanity address and then trace it back to the entity that published this address.
Everything to do with bitcoins if traceable to a certain extent.
Just look at all the bitcoins that have been confiscated by the fbi and other secret agencies. They have their sources to find out anything. Why else do you think the Trump administration is trying to cover up most of the things they have done being in office for the past 6 months? They ended up firing people and denouncing the fbi so they were not traced back to this president.
But that is besides the point of this post. lol.
If they want to remain completely anonymous then they would use another coin other than bitcoin to accept the donations.
Ones like monero, dash or even verge for that matter.
But those are not as widely known as bitcoin. So this might be why they chose to use this one since anyone who has some on their wallets would just send it if they liked his art work.
By the way he does have a litecoin tip jar on his site and another one when I glanced at the link I posted above.
