Title: Can you identify me? 2.5BTC reward. Post by: BlindMixerDR on April 05, 2013, 11:12:32 PM Hello. Like in this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120918.0) I want to see if it is possible for me to be completely anonymous.
Like the original challenge, the reward will be given to the person that provides:
I will use the same rules:
If you can find out my real name and/or address and/or telephone number, then PM me for some/all the reward. Also like the original, I'll give away small amounts of bitcoin (0.05-0.1 BTC) to people pointing out flaws/mistakes/possible improvements regarding my anonymity. These rewards will come from the total 2.5BTC reward, so the sooner someone identifies me the more bitcoins they get. Eventually I will allow theymos to release all info held about me, blindmixerdr (connection logs & times etc). But not yet. Also, I will soon publish the address of a bitcoin mixing service (onion address). Maybe that will give more clues. Please note that I am trying very hard to be anonymous. But I will say that I am a long time user of this forum. New extra rules:
I have created a file with my username in it: Code: user@host$ (echo "My username is XXX"; dd if=/dev/random bs=512 count=1|base64) > whoami.txt I will show the file whoami.txt if

I read all your thread and I am following almost all the advice you received, but I think the evidence against you was very specific - if someone discovers a unique thing like that about me and links directly to my real user, then I will admit it.

How about this: everyone can be police, but an investigation incurs cost, so to simulate an investigation they'd have to put up some money (that goes to charity or to BlindMixerDR). Something like 0.2 BTC. They would receive a share of the bounty, of course. BlindMixerDR would have to answer yes/no to any (payed) police inquiry asking "are you xzy?". Of course someone having hard evindence could play the police role themselves, also. That way wild guessing is disincentivised while still allowing for "hunches of a detective" not supported by hard evidence to play out (viable investigative method if I can believe TV shows ;). In other words: If someone is sure to have found you but has no hard evidence, he can still "corrupt" the police to pay a visit to you and see if it's you. Am I just babbling nonsense?

Yes, I have already made rules to say that someone who has a hunch, and explains where the hunch comes from (so it is not just a guess), then they can make a donation to FSF or torservers.net. And if you make the donation, then I will answer. I only said 0.005BTC for the donation. 0.2BTC is $30 now, so that would be too much.That way wild guessing is disincentivised while still allowing for "hunches of a detective" not supported by hard evidence to play out (viable investigative method if I can believe TV shows ;).

We could make the donation higher, and then I will also make another equal donation to the same charity (FSF or torservers). Is that fair? Is 0.02BTC ok?

Theymos, does your post refer also to OP's registration IP? If not, then: OP, are you willing to let theymos reveal your registration IP?
I can't help with the technical aspects of this hunt, even though I'd love to be more capable of that. Would it be possible to trawl through every post made on this forum and gather timing statistics for each member? Assuming OP is still posting under his real username, then there might be a strong correlation with this anonymous id though it would probably take a while longer, and plenty more posts, to weed out the false positives. For the prize of 2.5BTC you could afford to make over 100 trials though (though it's not clear if the donation should be 0.02BTC or 0.005BTC). Here's some linguistic analysis, which is all I can really offer: Your question is not clear. Do you mean, what is the best number of outputs in order to minimize the transaction fee per output? This might suggest American English, though -ize is common in the "Queen's English" lands now. OP also has another post with "synchronize".<snip> Are there any reputable providers of penetration testing there? Need a new site to be tested before being announced. This suggests colloquial English. Most foreigners would say "I need..." because they are taught that English requires that the subject be explicitly specified (unlike, e.g., Spanish, Italian where the verb specifies the subject, or Japanese where I understand the subject is usually implied). So either OP didn't know that (which seems unlikely given the quality of his English) or he is familiar enough with English to know that, casually speaking, it's not always necessary, eg: "Went swimming yesterday, bumped into a fish so I ate it up" - it's clear I am the subject.Nobody at all? No hackers in bitcoin community ??? Whereas this suggests non-English language origin. OP should say "... in the bitcoin community"Wait, the ban seems to be gone. The notification is no more there, and I can click on "new topic" o...<snip> More stuff suggests non-English mother tongue. OP should say "definitely gone" or "definitively gone" or "gone for certain" instead of "for sure". This is not a hard and fast rule, though. Just in my personal experience, lots of non-native English speakers say "for sure" more than you might otherwise expect.When I find something good to write in a thread I will try to see if the ban is gone for sure. Bitcoin wallets normally start with 100 addresses. I suggest you try importing the addresses you need into blockchain.info again. The easiest thing is to start bitcoin-qt, go to the console window (help -> debug -> console) and type "listunspent 0" to show all the unspent outputs your bitcoin-qt wallet is storing. Then either dump only the private keys corresponding to those unspent outputs (in console window, type "dumpprivkey <address>"), or look through the file from Pywallet until you find the private keys you need. This is not a trivial linguistic construction, but for all I can see there are no errors.So, all I can offer, is the following. OP's first post was asking to be whitelisted to get out of the newbie jail https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15911.msg1621951#msg1621951 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15911.msg1621951#msg1621951). Then he replies to a bunch of newbie questions with what seems to be very good English. Then he starts asking about escrow and penetration testers and we see a couple of mistakes creeping in, though a couple of posts still come through perfectly well. Then there are a couple more replies to newbie questions only now there are some errors: If you are expert good enough to store blockchain wallet backup safely, then you are expert good enough to store (OP should put "the" here) bitcoin-qt/multibit/electrum wallet safely. <snip> So, all-in-all, OP seems to be a non-native English speaker but with very good English. Or he is deliberately introducing errors. Or... maybe... there might be more than one person writing. Last possibility, OP says he is following most of the advice from molecular's findmeifyoucan thread - my advice in that thread was to use an automatic translator (e.g. google) to translate everything he is writing. Anyone here work at google and willing to search the translate history for a match, assuming the history is kept? :) (that's just a joke, doing that would probably get you fired!) Sorry if this post seems a bit confused. I'm pulling info in from a bunch of different tabs at once. edit: hmm, rereading this again after I posted yesterday - a substantial part of OP's posts are better than any automatic translation. Scratch that theory. Title: Re: Can you identify me? 2.5BTC reward. Post by: MelMan2002 on April 09, 2013, 03:33:21 AM I was going to reply to your post. Hmm, does that mean I get a free guess?

Did you ever buy anything from SR?I will add your question to the FAQ - it will be the first one. Title: Re: Can you identify me? 2.5BTC reward. Post by: lerelerele on April 15, 2013, 06:30:24 PM I think about your donation of bitcoins, when you transfer bitcoins your Bitcoin adress is stored.
Maybe i am in an error but the data of this transaction is http://blockchain.info/es/tx/063531718d60bc33a596353ef87ac853a1b807d8f40d48a96df5ec914a8c1bee And the whois of this IP give me this http://bgp.he.net/ip/50.16.70.150#_dns Then you can go to http://ec2-50-16-70-150.compute-1.amazonaws.com/logs and see the move of data but i cant give it a sense.
