Deanonymizing Tor Hidden Service Users through Bitcoin Transaction Analysis

The argument in the wiki is not about third-parties. Suppose that in therey are 3 people.

  • A) privacy conscious person
  • B) tax fraud proceeds person
  • C) illegal goods proceeds person

How does it help A) to get the coins of B)?
How does it help B? to swap coins with C)

But even if that’s a non-issue.

[1]: Coins tainted as “originated from a mixer”, how can you ever cash these out on a regulated cryptocurrency exchange? Most likely you cannot?

Note: We’re discussing policy here. Not technology. Therefore it’s more blurry. See [1].

The wiki doesn’t have all the answers on that topic and I don’t have either. Also since that topic is old already, I doubt I’ll figure that one out anytime soon. The wiki on this topic is only giving pointers. Things to consider. Provoking thoughts. Unfortunately, no complete solution for everything can be provided.

Also:

From a privacy perspective, maybe alright, but then what? Now yours coins are tainted.

Why not do it as per Bitcoin - Whonix chapter Increasing Bitcoin Anonymity in Whonix wiki?

Off-topic. You have a dedicated forum thread already. → Facing issues with Onion sites with whonix tor?

Otherwise joinmarket and its configuration shouldn’t be hijacking this forum topic.
