Would you pay more for clean coins over tainted?

[scarsbergholden]

I haven't had any issues with people accepting my BTC, so I'd rather not pay more than they are worth. If you are selling tainted coins cheap, PM me and I will buy some.

No. It is very easy to mix your coins in a mixer or via an exchange that can erase any taint related to any controversy.

And once the btc goes to prices like 10k or so, the number of small btc tx like .001 or less will be so huge that it will not be possible to keep the trace.

[Godye Scaro X9]

I wouldn't. After all, a coin is a coin is a coin.

However, I think I might be willing to pay a bit extra for a coin that has a special place in Bitcoin's history. For example, a coin that Satoshi once owned, or a coin that was part of the last 50 BTC block, or a coin that was once part of the 20,000 BTC that was traded for the two pizzas, etc.

Some people are already paying a bit extra for mixed coins so they cannot be identified, not because they fear holding "tainted" coins.

that is dumb. They can easily mix the coins themselves with bit mixer.io or they could simply deposit the coins on an exchange then withdraw them a day later to get new coins

I am not questioning their purpose or intellect, only stating that some people would pay a fee to mix coins, so they are in fact paying more to get "clean" coins. I personally will not.

[FUR11]

No, I'd never prefer one coin over the other. If we really start to do that we effectively hurt bitcoins fungibility, meaning that every coin is as valuable as every other coin of the same currency and denomination. If that happens, bitcoin would start to lose its value dramatically.

[shkiser]

What is the difference? I dont see this being an option. Some that are associated with internet crime or laundering would just use a mixer service, and is there really a way to tell if one's coins are "tainted".

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.

No responses? What's wrong with you people? Those coins are tainted -- TAINTED! This is a seriously good deal I'm offering you here.

Only one person (probably OP) voted Yes.

Do you also take coins that smell like someone spilled Frappucino over them? I may have someone ready who wants to launder quite a few of those if you are interested
