The point is that because Bitcoin is P2P based, you could identify ppl with bitcoins pretty easily + if you got a client exploit, GOTCHA, 100% vulnerability...

Would be an explanation for all the stolen BCs...

All these clients are nicely p2p networked, IPs available for everyone, traceable...if someone exploits the client => mass robbing!

If I publish the tainted transactions and it is public knowledge, then nobody can say they didn´t know. If I sell you a stolen car, the car legally gets returned to its rightful owner.

first:

I hope I reach allinvain, which got stolen 25.000 BC...this forum anti-spam is annoying, I can not even write him a PM.

ok:

so, what I would do if I got robbed of my bitcoins:

1. Persistently trace the transactions of my stolen BC through blockchain (should be possible)
2. Publish a list of these transactions every day publically, especially here on the forum
3. Sue everyone that I can get hold of for concealment of stolen goods. (You can always know who got your stolen coins through blockchain)

Point three especially applies to money exchanges like MtGox.

E.g.: Someone cashes out any of my stolen coins at MtGox => If MtGox cashes out, sue them for concealment of stolen goods and claim the BCs invovled.


Fortunately I don´t own any BC, so that is one concern less.
