Post by: xivosol on September 08, 2019, 03:42:27 PM
is there any websites/programs that let you see the addy where your sent bitcoins end up i know you can use blockchain.com ect to see but would take alot of time to follow addresses this way is there a website or program i can put address 1 and then  address 2 and it will tell me if any of the btc from address 1 has ended up in address 2 ive been messing around with a few mixers and would love to see how good at mixing the coins they really are and if theres any chain links

There is a whole bunch of companies that are in the chain-analysis business, trying to make a name for themselves. Corporations such as Chainalysis, Elliptic and CipherTrace have a record for it. Most of them have demos that you can schedule, but are for professional purposes likely on a B2B scale.

Even the SEC seems to have a similar interest to yours (see https://www.theblockcrypto.com/tiny/the-sec-is-looking-for-a-blockchain-analysis-tool), although obviously from a different perspective:

The SEC is looking for a blockchain analysis tool
February 4, 2019, 7:13AM EDT
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is publicly looking for a tool that would provide blockchain analysis data of the most widely used cryptocurrencies in order to monitor risk, improve compliance, and inform the policy with respect to digital assets.
One of the required abilities of the tool is a "capability to derive insights from the available data, including attribution data (i.e. to whom a particular address belongs)." The U.S. government have previously worked with multiple blockchain analysis companies including Chainalysis, Elliptic and CipherTrace. Most of the blockchain analysis tools still seem to be limited mainly to analyzing Bitcoin's blockchain while the SEC is looking for an analysis of "the most widely used blockchain ledgers."

I did stumble upon an open-source software (which I have not tried out): https://blockchain3d [dot]info. It’s Github has not been committed not for nearly a year, so I’m not sure if it is being kept up-to-date for BTC chain analysis. As always, if I were to try it out, I’d rather do it form an isolated environment (VM or such). Bare in mind though that developers algorithm will differ, and some may table way better than others specific approaches to concrete mixers.

BlockSeer (https://www.blockseer.com/about) has a really good set of blockchain and taint analysis tools but they stopped offering their free service some time ago. I'm not sure how pricey the paid subscription is.

not sure if they offer any paid service since there is no feature or price list , you can't even register
I have been bookmarking the sites that provide such functionality , if it helps , here is my collection with a brief description :


https://www.chainalysis.com/ ,  https://www.elliptic.co/   - used by the law enforcement  and governments to track illegal activity , they offer paid services but I suspect this would be quite steep for an average Joe

https://github.com/citp/BlockSci - requires Python knowledge
   BlockSci enables fast and expressive analysis of Bitcoin’s and many other blockchains

https://www.blockseer.com   - (reported to have issues) stopped their free service , contact support for a quote

https://matbea.net/  - reported to have issues

https://www.c-hound.ai/   -AI powered analysis tool

https://oxt.me/   - allows to visualize and build  charts and graphs

https://www.walletexplorer.com/ -  probably  one of the oldest and one of the most popular tools

https://blockchain3d.info/  - blockchain analysis tool in 3D

The features are listed here (https://www.blockseer.com/features). They don't publicly list their prices. You need to contact them by email to discuss establishing an enterprise account.
