Title: Is it possible to implement tumbling inside Bitcoin itself? Post by: rotalumis on February 12, 2014, 11:41:27 AM Consider if every time a new block is mined, the transaction inputs are sent to the outputs in such a way that each output receives a proportional amount from each input. Would this adequately tumble the coins, or would the increase in transactions bloat the blockchain?

I think the point of tumbling is so nobody will know where the money went. Title: Re: Is it possible to implement tumbling inside Bitcoin itself?

I think the point of tumbling is so nobody will know where the money went. ah i see. that sounds great. i think it's kind of creepy how everyone's transaction record is visible. should be encrypted and shit Title: Re: Is it possible to implement tumbling inside Bitcoin itself?

I think there are programs being worked on that are built on top of the blockchain for stuff like this though. Title: Re: Is it possible to implement tumbling inside Bitcoin itself?
