Hi all,
for a hobby research I want to know or find theoretical information about the average amount of the transaction's purposes in %! Of course there won't be a lot of information, Bitcoin is designed for its anonymity....
For what kind of transactions are bitcoins used? What does the majority of the transactions make?
What do you think and if you can provide more information this would be pretty nice!!
My basic thoughts where following:
When I mine, I encrypt and check "one" random transaction! For each encryption there is a transaction but whats this transaction's purpose?
Why do I want to know that?
I really want to know for what bitcoin is atm used right now!
I might think that major transactions go up on exchange sites like MT.Gox, bitcoin.de and more!
What about criminal transactions like transactions for drugs, hacking and etc. ? How much % COULD they make? Is Bitcoin atm used for neutral to good things or vice versa?
Since a miner does not know the transaction's purpose and its definetly clear, the miner encrypts and checks transaction even for things for which I would not like to encrypt and check. This is technically impossible of course!
Whats the major usage? Drugs , exhange, or noncriminal services? Does anyone have great information there?
NOTE: Its
not ABOUT the
amount of bitcoins used! Its about the
amount of transaction's purpose
