Perhaps my reading is incorrect but why did theg decide to use all transactions (something they can't control) versus outgoing transactions (something they have sole control over)?
It also relies solely on blockcypher's api. I wonder if they were contacted and what their stance was.
- ixwt 6y agoThe article says that the wallet might not be in their control. They believe it might be a part of a coin tumbling/washing operation. I think the main reason they don't use one they control is the potential to trace where the original funds come from. There might be things you can do to obfuscate things, like tumbling the coins. It's all a risk though.
- qqii 6y agoBut they have to control a wallet to send the transactions anyway, which could be tracked in the same way?
