It may be worth noting that Bitcoins are also uniquely identified and can be traced back through all transactions.

- hcho 15y agoBut who the hell is KrayzBoy32@gmail.com doing this transaction? Let's ask google...Oh, he was behind 7 proxies, so we don't really know. There's no way of identifying the person reliably, if s/he doesn't disclose a name.
- sgift 15y ago> he was behind 7 proxies Using proxies seems like the digital equivalent of using middlemen for cash transactions. If I use enough middlemen it will be really, really hard to identify me reliably. Any differences I've missed?
- hcho 15y agoJust that it doesn't cost anything to use proxies whereas middlemen generally take a cut from the transaction in real world.
- Egregore 15y agoActually as far as I know this is solved by using "exchanges" outside jurisdiction of feared country, where you can send some bitcoins and receive other.
- jarin 15y agoIt doesn't seem like that's 100% the case, as you can generate a new bitcoin address for every transaction. Unless there's some way to associate addresses as coming from a single wallet, which I do not think is the case.
