suggestion:

* the site should also handle messages for signed ownership of address to ensure the possession.

* not signed messages can also be show, but clearly flagged as not confirmed by owner / rumor.

* this site should be made open source and sync with other instances to publish disposably


and there already is a possibility to publish tags on blockchain.info but this has the same issue as firstbit, when offline it is no help.

Hi,

http://www.wheresgeorge.com/ is fun for some … actually many people.
I also enjoy seeing 1dice addresses in my taint analysis but I'm too lazy to check if it actually is a satoshi dice address or anything.

I totally agree that stolen coin taint should not be an issue (aka we should not make it an issue) but to raise awareness I'm sure it would be cool to have a site that – like a wiki – allows to tag addresses.
1dice... -> satoshi dice
1... -> fsf donation address
1... -> casascious coin
1... -> my trade with max on localbitcoins
1... -> coins stolen from myBitcoin
1... -> mtGox green address
1... -> tipping address of cam girl lea
... etc.
Such a site should allow to search address taint for given addresses.

I'd love to know where my wallet's coins have been before.

Finding this data now is just not democratized. Some people do this analysis already, others can't. Having such a powerful tool would definitely increase the awareness that we need some way of built-in laundering. Only when I have plausible deniability for any kind of taint, the ever returning taint-question will go away. Bitcoin should be fungible but it barely is now.
