I don't think so, I think the argument was that, if crime is possible it will probably happen. There was no moral judgement about that.

I'm talking more about following the transactions than the "coins". Unfortunately I've messed up my semantics along the way which doesn't help anyone. So in this case wallets A,B,C,D, and E are all suspect, and at s

Right - now we're talking about it as if it's been mixed. I originally said that his best bet would be to use a mixer, otherwise the transactions can be traced. And by mixing he's relying on a third party.

Where does the clean money come from?
215.
by philbarr 9y ago
No, but you can mark the transactions right? So if I know all the bitcoins in that "bad" wallet, I can follow all transactions from that wallet and see where the coins end up?

I assume they aren't being chased because there isn't enough impetus on the part of the police to do so. But something high profile like WannaCry might make the authorities do a bit more work.

But the blockchain records all movements of bitcoin, so if I have a coin's hash, I can trace it's movement in transactions from A->C->X wallets? A mixer or exchange is the best bet, but then you're relying on a third pa

I wondered about this. Yes, you may have stolen some bitcoin from people but you can't do anything with it. It's all traceable through the blockchain. You can't buy anything directly with it because as soon as you receive the

bettermotherfuckingwebsite makes some good points, whilst completely avoiding the rather large elephant in the room - pictures.

I agree with that, and it makes sense, but unfortunately pg (Paul Graham) said years back that you CAN use downvotes to disagree on HN and so now it's law or something.

Buy into my ICO. I don't know what it is yet but it's going to be awesome. You can give me the money now if you like - you want to get in early after all if you're going to make the big bucks off it.

The people buying the ICO coins don't have mining rigs?

So cryptocurrency is the new Gold Rush. As the story goes, the only people who reliably made money during the original gold rush was the people who sold the spades. What are the "spades" here?

And more importantly, how do I create an ICO and get these people to buy into it?

Does that imply that, overall, people are making less from selling things than it costs to advertise them?

I thought once about doing a "flavour graph" where people could go on and add what they thought were good flavours to mix together. The more people added the same flavours, the stronger the edges between nodes would get. I'd

Wow - how does it do that?! Image recognition techniques alone (as far as I know) couldn't do that, right? So how does it know how far away something is?

I didn't really mean, "not doing much", but more like being the type of manager that lets the team get on with the work by removing as much of the day to day business nonsense as possible.
