The digital cryptocurrency Bitcoin already has a lot of built-in security and privacy features. But thanks to a Bitcoin storage app called Dark Wallet scheduled to be released tomorrow (May 1), Bitcoin may become even more difficult to trace. Dark Wallet's creators have said they created the software to help criminals disguise their activities online.

Taint all the coins and everyone will have tainted coins.

I always thought it was 95.6% of all paper money has traces of cocaine.  Thanks for correcting that statistic for me.  ;)
