If Yes - By how much?

Or if you think that tainted coins are worth more like from MtGox hack, SilkRoad bust, etc.

Discuss!

I wouldn't! There has only been one instance that tainted coins were not accepted as readily as "clean" coins, and that was by Gox right after the multitude of exchange hacks in 2011.

How do I know my coins are tainted or not? What makes them tainted?
If there is no list of tainted coins, no one would pay more for something less.

In the Gox hack case, the stolen coins were black listed. Though, they have likely been mixed in well enough by now.

You can only go through the blockchain to see where your coins have been. Cross reference those addresses with known addy's of a theft of some sort.

Really, it doesn't matter because they are all the same.

I can try to do a taint analysis, but it'd take a lot of backtracing. Really, you might as well not care about mixing the coins. Nobody cares if your coins have a little digital coke residue on them.

what is the point of that. ? instead of paying low better not buy a tainted coin like if you know that you are dealing with a hacker/scammer and the coin s(he's) selling are tainted better cancel the deal. but hackers/scammers aren't that stupid they can use services like bitmixer to get fresh coins in place of their tainted coins.
 So absolutely no point of treating tainted coins any different.

Bad news always more interesting so in the Future some coins may carry premium if linked to a particular crime.

It seems to me that your mind is stuck thinking that a Bitcoin is an actual physical entity, other than a unit of account in an algorithmic protocol.....

......but u aren't that dumb, right?

U were just being ironic of course!

Anyone who will take less for their tainted coins let me know.

Or who pays more for 'clean' ones.....

Kraken Account, Robbed/Emptied. Kraken say "Fuck you, its your loss": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1559553.msg15656643#msg15656643

Bitfinex victims. DO NOT TOUCH THE BFX TOKEN! Start moving it around, or trading it, and you will be construed as having accepted it as an alternative means of payment to your USD, BTC, etc.

lol name calling on a forum nice, how sad are you

Coins may not be physical entity, but a unique and traceable entity with a history, but you knew that.

If anyone has tainted coins they're dying to unload, I'll take them off your hands for 80% of current Bitstamp value, no questions asked.
