Repost: How anonymous are bitcoins?

OP's would sling that NAT thing at me like it was a threat back in the days.

I hate to open up such an old thread, just found it odd to see Satoshi asking this question and then answering it himself, did he slip up and forget to use another account to post the question?
Are their any other accounts linked to Satoshi?

Can't you see the title? It's a repost of another user's question...

The Op is not interested in what was written. He just want to prove that satoshi has alts.

PS. I can't help but notice that all the replies from 2018 are hilariously bad except for the first one. The ICO spam era must have been worse than I thought.

Lolz, they are hilarious but I can't say that they are bad because there was no abundance of bitcoin knowledge then. Bitcoin was relatively new and as such people are expected not to have in-depth knowledge of it.

BTW: I thought all satoshi threads are locked, did theymos forget this one?

I thought they were all locked too, was surprised that i could post.
I was just reading a few old Satoshi posts for fun.
I also noticed that Satoshi profile is number 3, i wasnt really expecting it to be #1, who were the first 2 members here?

ha, yeah I remember those days... people would throw around 'NAT' like it was some magic word for being compromised. it's funny looking back because it was mostly just FUD from folks who didn't understand the network layer.

wasn't a threat, just a sign of who hadn't set up a node behind a firewall. the whole debate back then was about pseudo-anonymity vs real anonymity, which we're still arguing about now with coinjoin and cashfusion. the pattern is always the same: someone finds a potential weakness, it gets blown out of proportion for a cycle or two, then the actual tech slowly improves to fix it.
that NAT scare was just a precursor to the whole chain analysis panic we see today.

it's less about the tech and more about people's comfort level with being observed.
