Title: How to track stolen/tainted Bitcoin?
Post by: Jake on June 08, 2012, 06:01:59 AM
I was wondering what a solid, most efficient way to track stolen/tainted Bitcoin without having to hunt down the block chain.

Is there a way? If so, would you be interested in some sort of stolen/tainted Bitcoin tracker?

... Why do people think taint is a good idea?

It would help prevent distribution of stolen coins. Eventually, they would be untainted.

Who would decide what coins are labeled as tainted?

1) Mining Pools, You, Government, democratic vote or other.

Explain how you would go about doing this in a way that doesn't harm innocent users. Or at least harms innocent users less than the criminals.

Eventually, they would be untainted.
Explain how.

What we really need is some kind of software to track users with idiotic ideas.
It gets tiresome having to hunt them down all over the forum.
