I think that the topic is very complex.
For estabilish the relationiship between 2 address, you have to know all the historic log (transaction) of the 2 address. All you can view (in the case that there is any relationship)
is the "first level" of relation between the address. Now, admin that address n° 1 send an amount of coin at new address 3, and this new address re-send the coin at the final address 2°. Using the "first level algo" you miss this info.
For exausth scan of 2 transaction you have to backtrack all transaction made by all id, recursively one by one. So is a very hard-time problem if you haven't a smart method to store the data for retrive the info about the transaction
(sorry for my English)

You can try to trace your own address. How will someone trace where you are with your wallet ? What do you mean different distances ?

Is there a blockchain tool/code that takes two BTC transaction ID's and determines a distance between them.
It's 2017 and Bitcoin Privacy (aka trying to walk around in the public without a sign over you saying how much money you have in your pocket) is still left entirely to the user. I'm trying to explore different methods of adding privacy to bitcoin to protect myself but I have not found a good way to measure how well one method works vs a different method. Something like blockchain.info's taint tool (now hidden on their site) is nice but feels clumsey when trying to determine familiarity between two addresses or transactions.
I clearly know that the two addresses are related but want to determine how trivial/untrivial it is to determine that on the blockchain. After you've washed your coins, what methods do you use to check that it worked sufficiently?
