Title: Blockchain.info taint? Post by: Kieran Bass on August 17, 2014, 07:39:28 PM What does this taint feature do exactly how do I use it?
Title: Re: Blockchain.info taint? Post by: JohnFromWIT on August 17, 2014, 07:46:42 PM I think it's to do with hiding stolen coins.
Sending them through a large wallet not related to your own then claiming them back through another wallet. That way the amount you receive back will be the same, but the coins will likely have a different history. Title: Re: Blockchain.info taint?

The taint is the percentage of funds received by an address that can be traced back to another address. An example of a taint analysis is: https://blockchain.info/taint/1dice6GV5Rz2iaifPvX7RMjfhaNPC8SXH Copied from here: https://blockchain.info/wallet/website-faq Title: Re: Blockchain.info taint?
