Are wallets on the same client untracable ??

[yellowcab]

Hi,

If I have say 6 wallets on the same client (ie armory) is there anyway - other than moving coins from one wallet to another that someone can find out you own all the wallets ? (yes will be using tor)

No there is no way. Because you can export/import wallet to another armory or different client. It's untraceable if addy belongs to same wallet, so don't worry unless you connect them via transaction.

Well if you have lots of transactions on a daily basis, between these wallets, it will be easier to make a connection, but that is definitely not proof, that you are the owner of all 6 of them.

Why do you use only the one client? I use a few, to spread the risk, with the little satoshi's I have. {My savings are all in cold storage, because I do not trust any clients, and only use them, when I have too}

There should be no way they can be traceable unless you make transactions between them. As has been stated above even if you do make transactions between them it's not proof that you own all the wallets just that you are making a transaction.

it's not proof that you own all the wallets

That would sum the topic

Would be cool to select wallets within Bitcoin Core

Thank you all for the input !!!

I'm starting to get my head around it (slowly mind ).

I'm using armory (only testing thou). When I receive bitcoins a new address is created each time but when I click on send bit coins its not clear if a new address will be created each time. Is this the case ? anyway of knowing for sure that a new address will be created.


I'm looking at having three "dirty wallets" and three "clean wallets" (post mix) when I send bit coins (I obviously dont any of the wallets linking ) where should I direct the change to be sent ?


Thank you in advance !!!

Great choice. I also use Armory. Probably you have to switch to expert  (User/expert) then you can specify change addy.

there are three options

- send change to new addy (default)
- send change to first addy
- send change to any specified addy (even from other wallets)

If you have only a few addresses, you may use different labels to distinguish a set of addresses from another.

But if you want to handle multiple wallets, it is a good idea to use Armory (https://bitcoinarmory.com/about/features/ for a list of Armory features).
