Bitcoin address blacklist Database

[/dev/null]

Can't we make that and monitor incoming and outgoing transaction and reject payments coming from these blacklisted address?

ofcource i know people can change bitcoin address but we will still know that funds are coming from a blacklisted wallet untill they use a mixer.

Just think about a big database (like spammers database) filled with criminals/scammers bitcoin address?

People can use a site to report bitcoin address, scammed amount and other details and they will be able to search any bitcoin address in that database also.

Bumped your thread, didn't knew you already suggested a blacklist.

Ps: It can be done via blockchain.info too if they allow to give feedback on bitcoin address  (positive/negative) or by changing label of that address to something else like "blacklisted" after getting x amount of negative votes by registered members.

Who will decide which address is good and which one belongs to an a criminal? More importantly "quis custodiet ipsos custodes"?

I think this would be a big leap to a regulated bitcoin and a dangerous precedent.

People will decide. A Voting/feedback system maybe like mywot.com ratings , I'm not saying you need to ban or seize those bitcoin address or funds but put those address in blacklist so if people want they can see and search.

Voting can be rigged as well. Opinion of one community over another? Get a bunch of people to block some hoarder out of his money?

This idea is as dumb as it can possibly get.

Adresses should be nameless tools for us to use, not otherwise.

Edit: if you want a blacklist, not a ban of some sort - then you can simply make a website containing that blacklist.

Great idea.

People will not decide after the first 15 minutes. Groups will decide and very soon some elected or self appointed representatives will decide. I'm afraid this would be the ultimate wunderwaffe for all people with god complex, trolls and racketeers plus the wet dream of all pro-regulation bitcoiners.

It will not block money dude, if site want they can deny payment from these blacklisted address and for more safety 1 vote per email/registered member can be done.

  Good demonstration. This is what we concerned about .

I agree with those who feel this is a bad idea, rarely does voting lead to a logical outcome. Look at every "democratic" government in the world for examples.

Look it was just a rough idea, flaw's can be fixed and thing can be changed to make it good and i'm not saying to make it some sort of firewall to block address.


it can be done as a simple site too

for a example
look http://kidala.info

It's in russian but you can search scammers from their icq number,email id,payment account number .

HAH, you are stupid and your opinion doesn't matters.

A friend of mine is on Twitter blacklist. She can not post any links to her web site. Twitter claims it has malware but we have gone over it numerous times and found nothing, including several independent 3rd party scans.

We ask Twitter to specify what the malware is and get no response.
We ask Twitter to specify what page has malware and get no response.
We ask Twitter how to appeal their blacklist and get no response.

I do not like blacklists.

It is too easy for people to get onto them by mistake or false accusation and then not be able to get off of them and it then hurts their business. Meanwhile the real criminals find easy ways around them.

Scammer buys goods from reputable person.  Reputable person holds coins, then tries to spend them, but person C sees that coins were in a previous deal linked to scammer.  Innocent person B is screwed.

Not gonna happen.

[hayek]

I think this is backwards.

I would rather there be a white list of trusted addresses. Kind of how Satoshi Dice worked.

Every person who sends a payment could go to a site and post a signed message and give feedback/rating just like on Ebay.


Have a question about the address you're sending payment to? Look it up.

Selling on a forum and need to switch? Well now you can take that karma with you when you move.
