Troll sent tx's with message "Child Porn" during 2012-2014 (check ur addresses)

[nakatomoshi]

I was looking at my old transactions and I found some strange transactions from the early signature campaign days (specially Primedice and Bitmixer.io era) that were sent to one of my addresses that said "child porn". I am now worried about selling these coins because when you present evidence of the coins being legit (from a sig campaign which is a legit advertisement activity) in the form of screenshots and whatnot, then they will see some transaction that says "child porn" in a message. This is crazy. What I am supposed to do now? How im supposed to take a screenshot of my address and present it to tax authorities when it says "child porn" there?

I recommend that if you were here around 2012-2014 and had public addresses to get paid you look at your records and look for this. We need to do something about this. Even if we did nothing wrong, its not too nice to present your address for taxes while some fucking idiot sent tx's with those inappropriate messages. I think this is a big problem with bitcoin. Authorities don't know how to deal with this and the terms "child porn" may make them go paranoid about you and you end up audited when you are innocent. This is crazy. Please check your payments from 2012-2014 to see if you are also affected and tell me what will you do about it. I wasn't sure if I should post in Legal section too. If you were in a signature campaign in these years definitely check your addresses because I remember other people talking about trolls spamming with messages back then, so now for taxes it becomes a problem... what will you do? If you cash out a big chunk they will ask where your money came from so you will need screenshots of the payments I guess, and once again that message in there on your address doesn't look good. Yes I know you are innocent and you have no control over what is sent into a public address, but still, you get the idea, imagine having to send your transaction history for taxes and they see that crap there.

I have just found a thread were people talk about this:

Yes, I recd. that much from Laxo trade, but I won't sign up on there site for that cheap. I also recd. 0.0001 from an asshole advertising "child porn", here is his address http://blockchain.info/address/1CPxxxZkKeBYDgvX7pmiUZnMRxqELFV7Yb

So 1CPxxxZkKeBYDgvX7pmiUZnMRxqELFV7Yb is one of the addresses. The question is: how I am supposed to send screenshot to tax authorities when I have a transaction that says "child porn"? This is crazy.

Check that address using another explorer, to name a few --> https://btc.com/1CPxxxZkKeBYDgvX7pmiUZnMRxqELFV7Yb or https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1CPxxxZkKeBYDgvX7pmiUZnMRxqELFV7Yb.
That name is reserved for Blockchain.info block explorer and does not represent any legal proceedings unless that the address is managed by persons associated with immoral crimes.
Even if this is true, if you can prove that you are not associated with illegal work you will not have problems.
I do not know if there are platforms that do not accept the money coins from the signature campaigns "especially gambling signature."

Unfortunately, many of the old coins are linked to illegal activities. Days of Silk Road.

[LeGaulois]

All the bitcoins will have been linked to an illegal activity sooner or later. Just like most banknotes contain cocaine. Chain analyses are smart enough to not consider an address tied to a criminal just because it received a Tx with a message. If the authorities accuse you of something, it is up to them to provide concrete and irrefutable evidence, not you to prove you're innocent.

I don't know how strict your laws are in your country but what I know is that there is a certain threshold that would trigger AML proceedings when you try to move a substantial amount. So if what you are trying to liquidate is lesser than that I won't have to worry about anything showing any evidence on that matter. And hugeblack is right there is nothing incriminating with the message "Child porn" in your transaction, it doesn't really prove anything that you have received payment for sending any child pornography, if you are worried about that then you can use other tx explorers to prove your payment.


P.S.

With a newbie ranking account that has been created in October 2017 it only means that you are using an alt account to post in the forum. Did you got your old account banned and have ban evading right now?

He might not like to disclose his real account for security purposes on discovering his account  but you can surely see him on Bitmixer.io signature campaign google spreadsheet.

On topic,i do see that theres some tagged Child porn on the given addresses above.I dont know why it is too big deal or just being paranoid to dragged yourself into possible trouble.
Better not to stress out and just leave it as it is.

So 1CPxxxZkKeBYDgvX7pmiUZnMRxqELFV7Yb is one of the addresses. The question is: how I am supposed to send screenshot to tax authorities when I have a transaction that says "child porn"? This is crazy.

1CPxxxZkKeBYDgvX7pmiUZnMRxqELFV7Yb --> I didn't see anything or I have a sign of aging eyes.

I can see that you are too innocent to be paranoid with this. Well if you will show it to the authority, you do not need to prove that you are innocent. They could track it. But if you have something to hide from them, they will also know it. Bitcoin was used for illegal activities before and now so what do we need to expect? However, you do not need to prove that you are innocent because these transactions happened multiple times and that is enough for them to know that you are an innocent.

It's obvious to us that anyone can be victim of this. Anyone with a public address can be sent money by trolls saying "caution, this guy is a terrorist" or whatever. However, governments are clueless about bitcoin and generally anti-bitcoin and anyone dealing with bitcoin is seen by default as someone shady, which is why it doesn't look like a good idea sending an screenshot with a transaction that says "Child Porn" on it, the official looking at your documents may have no fucking idea about bitcoin (most likely this is the case) and you may end up in problems. Imagine having to prove that you are innocent because of this bullshit, you never know how high it can escalate and you go broke hiring laywers. Im considering just not reporting any amounts that has those messages attached. There's a ton of those spam messages out there. Specially back then a lot of people on the forums complained of getting spam messages of darkweb websites, exchanges and other spam. I think it would have been better for the design of bitcoin to strictly carry data related to the tx and not any texts to avoid bullshit like this.

I remember a similar spam attack on people where a lot of older members received transactions from LaxoTrade. At first they were sending spam transactions without comments, and then suddenly they used vile words and no one knows why. Assuming it is an exchange, this is a horrible way of marketing yourself.

Ignore it. Use different block explorers and you're just fine. This is also why Lightning is a great improvement over the current address structure where everyone can send you a payment. If you want to pay me in Lightning, you need me to generate an invoice for you. This makes random spam useless.
