If the FBI is smart they will start sponsoring buttonwood meetings with the Silk Road bitcoin wallet(s). This will set off an interesting turf war between the bankers and intelligence community. On Mon, Jan 13, 2014 at 11:42:51AM -0800, gwen hastings wrote:
Wow, thats kind of an interesting read.. especially using the technique of tagging the wallets with another easily recognizable amount to make them easy to trace.
It would seem the the blockchain which protects against double spending but is entirely public and unblinded(in a chaumian cryptographic blinding sense) and the fact that one can unilaterally pay a particular wallet a recognizable amount..
It would seem that one simple could leave that amount behind(since it is EASY to identify and simply transfer the rest of the funds into ever smaller wallets and exchange those face to face at buttonwood meetings etc
formerly we used to classify an electronic anonymous currency by saying "its good enough for assassination politics"..
Bitcoin is not NEARLY good(safe) enough for AP... sorry
