If anyone has tainted coins they're dying to unload, I'll take them off your hands for 80% of current Bitstamp value, no questions asked.

No responses? What's wrong with you people? Those coins are tainted -- TAINTED! This is a seriously good deal I'm offering you here.

Do you also take coins that smell like someone spilled Frappucino over them? I may have someone ready who wants to launder quite a few of those if you are interested Tongue

Absolutely! Have your pudgy friend pm me pronto. Cool

What is the difference? I dont see this being an option. Some that are associated with internet crime or laundering would just use a mixer service, and is there really a way to tell if one's coins are "tainted".

No, I'd never prefer one coin over the other. If we really start to do that we effectively hurt bitcoins fungibility, meaning that every coin is as valuable as every other coin of the same currency and denomination. If that happens, bitcoin would start to lose its value dramatically.

that is dumb. They can easily mix the coins themselves with bit mixer.io or they could simply deposit the coins on an exchange then withdraw them a day later to get new coins

I am not questioning their purpose or intellect, only stating that some people would pay a fee to mix coins, so they are in fact paying more to get "clean" coins. I personally will not.

Some people are already paying a bit extra for mixed coins so they cannot be identified, not because they fear holding "tainted" coins.

I wouldn't. After all, a coin is a coin is a coin.

However, I think I might be willing to pay a bit extra for a coin that has a special place in Bitcoin's history. For example, a coin that Satoshi once owned, or a coin that was part of the last 50 BTC block, or a coin that was once part of the 20,000 BTC that was traded for the two pizzas, etc.

And once the btc goes to prices like 10k or so, the number of small btc tx like .001 or less will be so huge that it will not be possible to keep the trace.

No. It is very easy to mix your coins in a mixer or via an exchange that can erase any taint related to any controversy.

I haven't had any issues with people accepting my BTC, so I'd rather not pay more than they are worth. If you are selling tainted coins cheap, PM me and I will buy some.

I can try to do a taint analysis, but it'd take a lot of backtracing. Really, you might as well not care about mixing the coins. Nobody cares if your coins have a little digital coke residue on them.

lmfao!

Bad news always more interesting so in the Future some coins may carry premium if linked to a particular crime.

It seems to me that your mind is stuck thinking that a Bitcoin is an actual physical entity, other than a unit of account in an algorithmic protocol.....

......but u aren't that dumb, right?

U were just being ironic of course!

Quote from: Elwar on July 18, 2014, 02:50:41 PM

Anyone who will take less for their tainted coins let me know.

Or who pays more for 'clean' ones.....

lol name calling on a forum nice, how sad are you

Coins may not be physical entity, but a unique and traceable entity with a history, but you knew that.
