Verwenden von Bitcoin anonym

Alle Bitcoin-Transaktionen werden in ein public Ledger, genannt die Blockchain gespeichert. Die Daten in jeder dieser Transaktionen umfasst eine Bitcoin-Zahlungsbetrag und die Bitcoin-Adressen des Absenders und des Empfängers (unter anderem). Da jede Transaktion die Bitcoins aus einer vorherigen Transaktion verwendet und die Blockchain öffentliche Daten sind, hat jede Bitcoin-Zahlung eine nachvollziehbare Geschichte, die von jedermann einsehbar sind.

Bitcoin-Adressen sind nicht selbst mit einer Person oder Entität verknüpft. Deshalb ist Bitcoin wird oft als Pseudonyme oder Pseudo-anonyme. Jedoch kann die Identität einer Person eine Bitcoin-Adresse mit anderen Mitteln zugeordnet werden. Sobald was geschieht, ist es möglich, diese Person Transaktionen vorwärts und rückwärts durch die Blockchain-Geschichte zu bestimmen. Eine einzelne Anonymität-Verletzung kann eines Individuums gesamten Bitcoin-Transaktionshistorie aufdecken.

Aber wie ist eine Adresse mit einer Person verbunden? Der Verein tritt am häufigsten, wenn Menschen ihren Namen sowie ihre Bitcoin-Adresse online veröffentlichen. Aber es viele andere Möglichkeiten gibt (werfen Sie einen Blick auf die Top sieben Möglichkeiten Ihre Identität können werden verknüpfte an eure Bitcoin-Adresse). Wenn die Zuweisung vorgenommen wurde, könnte eine Partei mit genügend Entschlossenheit, Zeit und Ressourcen analysieren die Blockchain und bestimmen, wie viele Bitcoins, die eine Person ist, wie sie sie erhalten und wie sie sie ausgeben.

Um Bitcoin anonym zu verwenden, müssen Vorsichtsmaßnahmen ergriffen werden, um zu verhindern, dass Ihre wahre Identität mit Ihrer Transaktionen und Adressen verknüpft wird.

TL; dr; Bitcoin ist nicht anonym — aber es kann anonym genug, wenn Sie vorsichtig sind.

Eine neue Adresse für jede eingehende Transaktion verwenden

Der erste und einfachste Schritt ist eine neue, unbenutzte Adresse für jede eingehende Transaktion zu verwenden. Einfach generieren eine neue Adresse und verwenden es um eine Zahlung zu erhalten hilft der Gesamtsaldo des Ihre Bitcoin-Wallet zu verstecken. Wenn jeder Zahlung erhalten Sie an eine andere Adresse, die Sie besitzen geht, dann die Bitcoins sind verteilt, unter anderem mehrere Adressen, statt in großen pauschal an eine einzelne Adresse gespeichert werden. Dies macht es viel schwieriger für jemanden zu wissen wieviele Bitcoins, die Sie besitzen, da die meisten Bitcoin-Clients nicht öffentlich verraten welche Adressen Sie besitzen, wenn Sie eine Zahlung erhalten.

Jedoch können diese Adressen öffentlich miteinander verknüpft werden, wenn Sie eine Zahlung senden. Wenn der Gesamtbetrag der Transaktion, die Sie senden den Betrag überschreitet, wird Sie an eine einzelne Adresse, dann die Salden der ein paar Ihrer Adressen müssen als Eingaben für den Gesamtbetrag der Transaktion kombiniert werden. Nachdem diese Transaktion in der Blockchain gespeichert ist, können Sie angeben, aber nicht unbedingt beweisen, dass die einzelnen Eingaben Adressen eine Einheit gehörten. Wenn Ihre Identität nicht Ihre Adressen zugeordnet wurde, sollte Ihre Anonymität noch meist sicher sein.

Haben Sie bereits ein paar Transaktionen, die mit Ihrem Namen verbunden, es kann jedoch am besten, starten Sie eine völlig neue Brieftasche, das Verwenden von Bitcoin anonym gewidmet ist, und übertragen Sie Ihre Bitcoins auf die neue Geldbörse von läuft sie durch einen Mixer. Trennen Sie Ihre anonymen Brieftasche und regelmäßige Brieftasche — senden Sie keine Münzen zwischen den beiden ohne einen Mixer.

Auch bemerkenswert ist, dass Bitcoin verbringen Transaktionen immer den vollständigen Betrag in eine Adresse gespeichert. Das heißt wenn Sie 1 Bitcoin von einer Adresse, die 2 Bitcoins enthält senden, die extra 1 Bitcoin werden in der Transaktion enthalten sein, aber zurück zu eine eigene Adressen versendet werden. In der einfachsten Form die Änderung geht zurück zu der ursprünglichen Adresse, aber das hat den großen Nachteil, dass es deutlich sichtbar welche Adresse wird die empfangende Partei gehörte. Aus diesem Grund erstellen die meisten Bitcoin Wallets automatisch neue Adressen ändern, die Reste Ihrer Transaktionen zu erhalten. Diese Adressen ändern kann helfen, Maske, die der Empfänger der Transaktion wirklich war.

TL; dr; Generieren eine neue Adresse für jede Zahlung, die Sie erhalten möchten – es hilft, Ihre Bitcoin-Gesamtsaldo ausblenden.

Thin-Clients und gehostete Brieftaschen zu vermeiden

Fast alle thin Clients Leck, welche Adressen Sie, was einfache Zahlung Überprüfung (SPV) Server besitzen herstellen. Thin-Clients speichern nicht der Blockchain lokal. Stattdessen Abfragen sie einem Einzelserver SPV für die Transaktionen, bei denen die Adressen in Ihrer Brieftasche. Während diese Funktionalität weit mehr ist effizient und schnell als die Blockchain lokal, den Kompromiss-Analyse, die jede Bitcoin-Adresse, die Sie selbst an der SPV-Server übermittelt werden.

Einige thin Clients, wie z. B. Mehrbit, haben die Fähigkeit, mit Bloomfilter um zu helfen, welche Adressen zu verbergen, Sie selbst verlangt zusätzliche Transaktionen, die Ihre Geldbörse betreffen nicht. Jedoch bevorzugt Mehrbit derzeit Effizienz über Datenschutz und keinen Gebrauch von Bloomfilter für Adresse Anonymisierung. Die Electrum thin-Client nicht verwendet Bloomfilter überhaupt, so wie Mehrbit, jedem Server verbinden Sie mit kennt jeder Adresse, die Sie selbst.

Gehostete Kunden sind noch schlimmer in Bezug auf Anonymität. Alle Ihre privaten und öffentlichen Schlüsseln befinden sich auf 3rd-Party, die Server, so ist es trivial, für den Betreiber wissen, welche Bitcoin-Adressen besitzen. Darüber hinaus alle anderen Informationen, die Sie an den Dienst übermittelt haben Ihre Bitcoin-Adressen zugeordnet ist und der Betreiber kann direkt zugegriffen werden.

Eine der Grundlagen der Bitcoin bekommt nicht jeder zu vertrauen. In Bezug auf Anonymität, ist es am besten mit einem vollständigen Bitcoin-Client wie Bitcoin-Qt oder Armory, und die gesamte Blockchain lokal zu speichern.

TL; dr; Thin Clients und gehostete Brieftaschen-Leck Sie unter Einschluss besitzen — verwenden Sie einen vollständigen Client wie Bitcoin-Qt oder Armory statt.

Bitcoin und Ihre IP-Adresse

Wenn Sie eine Transaktion auf Ihrem Computer initiiert, sendet der Bitcoin-Client die erforderlichen Daten an andere Clients, die effektiv Rundfunk die Bitcoin-Übertragung mit dem Netzwerk. Bitcoin nicht der Verkehr, d.h. Ihres Internet Service providers, der Besitzer des öffentlichen WIFI-Hotspots sind verschlüsseln verwenden oder die NSA kann untersuchen Ihre Transaktionen und Ihre Bitcoin-Salden mit geringem Aufwand zu bestimmen. Für anspruchsvolle Dritte ist es durchaus möglich sammeln viele Daten über durchgeführte Transaktionen , die Identität der Bitcoin-Nutzer bei großen zu enthüllen.

Wenn Ihr Bedürfnis nach Anonymität IP Rückverfolgbarkeit entgegenzuwirken rechtfertigt, müssen Sie das Bitcoin-Netzwerk über einen Anonymisierungs-Schicht wie Tor oder ein virtuelles privates Netzwerk (VPN) herstellen.

Erhalten Tor von der offiziellen Website, den Tor-Client installieren und sicherstellen, dass es läuft. Gehen Sie dann zu Ihrem Bitcoin-Client-Netzwerk-Einstellungen und legen Sie die Verbindung zum SOCKS-Proxy, Adresse 127.0.0.1 (auch bekannt als “localhost”) über Port 9050 (der Standardanschluss im Tor) oder Port 9150, (falls Sie das Tor-Browser-Paket installiert haben). Tor ist natürlich langsamer als Ihre direkte Internet-Verbindung, so dass wenn Sie einen vollständigen Client für die Verwendung über Tor einrichten wollen, es wäre eine gute Idee, zuerst den Blockchain ohne Tor herunterladen, und dann Tor nutzen, wenn eine Transaktion zu senden.

Neben Tor ist es auch möglich, eine VPN , Ihre IP-Adresse verbergen. Aber das kommt mit der Bedingung, dass Sie den VPN-Anbieter nicht um zu protokollieren oder offenbaren Ihre Transaktionen vertrauen müssen. Die meisten VPN-Anbieter bieten Konfigurationen oder Anwendungen, die automatisch aller Ihren Internetverkehr über ihren Dienst, weiterleiten so ist es nicht notwendig, zusätzliche Konfigurationen auf Ihre Bitcoin-Client durchführen.

Verwenden Sie eine öffentliche (WIFI) Netzwerk für eine zusätzliche Schicht von Anonymität

Wenn öffentliche WIFI neben dem Tor oder ein VPN verwendet wird, wird eine weitere Ebene der Sicherheit Ihre Anonymität hinzugefügt. Startseite Internet Service Providern sammeln Kunden Namen, Adressen und andere persönlichen Angaben, wenn der Kunde für den Dienst anmeldet. Ihre Identität direkt an Ihre IP-Adresse gebunden ist und welcher Internet traffic Sie über ihre Internet-Verbindung zu generieren.

Öffentliche WIFI erfordert Sie Ihre persönlichen Daten zu einem Internet-Anschluss, zur Verfügung zu stellen keine machen es schwierig für Ihre Aktivität zu Ihnen zurückverfolgt werden. Allerdings gibt es noch andere Dinge zu beachten. Ihre MAC-Adresse wird höchstwahrscheinlich durch den öffentlichen WIFI-Betreiber protokolliert die verwendet werden können, um Ihren Computer zu identifizieren. Die meisten Betriebssysteme können Sie die echte MAC-Adresse deiner Netzwerkkarte Fälschen von generieren und verwenden stattdessen eine zufällige MAC-Adresse. Dies sollte jedes Mal vor dem Anschluss an das öffentliche WIFI-Netzwerk erfolgen. Betrachten Sie auch andere Möglichkeiten, in denen Ihre Identität, Ihre Verbindung wie verknüpft werden kann:

Überwachungskameras im Bereich

unter Verwendung der gleichen WIFI Stelle auf wiederkehrender Basis und von Mitarbeitern erkannt

per Kreditkarte, waren am Standort zu kaufen

Surfen unverschlüsselte Seiten, die Sie haben Ihre persönlichen Daten eingereicht.

Denken Sie daran, es wird empfohlen, alle Ihre öffentliche WIFI-Traffic mit Tor oder ein VPN verschlüsselt zu halten.

TL; dr; Verbergen Ihre Bitcoin-Internet-Verkehr mit Tor und/oder eine VPN. Verwenden Sie öffentliche WIFI als zusätzliche Maßnahme.

Wie man Bitcoins anonym

Es ist, zwar möglich, Bitcoins später brechen die Identität-Kette, die Sie auf den Münzen Links zu anonymisieren ist der beste Weg, um anonym zu bleiben, nicht Ihre Anmeldeinformationen, die in erster Linie im Zusammenhang mit einer Bitcoin-Transaktion.

Kauft man Bitcoins auf einem Exchange-Standort, sind sie zwangsläufig mit Ihrem Namen verknüpft. Die meisten Börsen verlangen, dass Ihre Identität zu überprüfen, durch die Bereitstellung eines Scans Ihrer Regierung-ID. Sie müssen auch Scans von Rechnungen oder Kontoauszügen beweisen Ihrer Anschrift zu bieten. Außerdem akzeptieren viele Börsen nur Landeswährung Überweisungen per Bankkonto oder Kreditkarte, weiter zum Nachweis der Identität sinkt und eine Datenspur, die leicht zu verfolgen. Einmal bieten Ihnen den Austausch eine Auszahlung Bitcoin-Adresse, Ihre neu erworbene Bitcoins, gesendet, dass die Adresse mit Ihren Namen in den Börsen-Datensätzen verknüpft ist. Diese Datensätze konnte geleckt, veröffentlicht oder von Strafverfolgungsbehörden angefordert werden.

TL; dr; Bitcoin-Börsen zu verlangen, Dokumente und Bankkonten, die beweisen, wer Sie sind. Vermeiden Sie sie.

Kaufen Sie Bitcoins in Person

Ihre beste Wette, um Bitcoins auf anonyme Weise zu kaufen ist mit jemand Bitcoins für physischen Cash verkaufen Angesicht zu Angesicht treffen. Es gibt eine Reihe von Websites wo finden Sie Menschen mit zu handeln, aber die populärste Website ist LocalBitcoins. Um anonym zu bleiben, sollten die folgenden Vorsichtsmaßnahmen getroffen werden:

Bieten Sie keine Informationen, die verwendet werden könnte, um Sie zu identifizieren. Bieten Sie nicht Ihr richtiger Name, persönliche e-Mail-Adresse, Telefonnummer oder Postanschrift.

Wenn Sie müssen Ihre Telefonnummer an oder benutzen Sie ein Telefon, um ein Handel Meetup zu koordinieren, erhalten Sie eine Brenner-Telefon. Sie sind billig und können mit Bargeld erworben werden.

Abhängig von Ihren Anforderungen Anonymität empfiehlt es sich, mithilfe von einem anonymen Internet-Anschluss, wie Tor, LocalBitcoins und Ihre Wegwerf-Emailkonto zugreifen.

Einen Verkäufer, der bereit ist für den Handel Bitcoins gegen Bargeld zu finden.

Bewertung des Verkäufers Geschichte und das Feedback, das sie, von anderen Käufern erhalten haben mit neuen Verkäufern tauscht nicht.

In einem gut gefüllten, öffentlichen Ort treffen. Es kann nützlich sein, zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad zu dem Speicherort zu vermeiden, dass Ihr Fahrzeug oder ihre Nummernschild identifiziert. Wenn Sie müssen am Ort und Park entfernt, eine große Distanz zu fahren oder einen Freund-Tropfen Sie aus und holen Sie ab.

TL; dr; Bitcoins in Person von einem fremden mit physischen Cash gekauft sind sehr anonym.

Bitcoins mit Bargeld mit der Post zu kaufen

Anonyme Überweisungen können auch erfolgen durch physischen Bargeld senden, per Post oder mit bestimmten Zahlungsanbieter wie MoneyPak. In diesem Fall wird der Verkäufer eine e-Mail-Adresse und werde Sie erwartet werden, zu verpacken und versenden die Zahlung zu ihnen. Je nach den Bedingungen der Vereinbarung der Verkäufer kann müssen Sie zuerst den Betrag überweisen, oder sie können vereinbaren, um Bitcoins in Treuhandservice zu platzieren. Für zusätzliche Sicherheit können Sie auch das Paket als Einschreiben senden, es zu versichern oder erfordern eine Unterschrift bei Lieferung. Wenn Sie das Paket versichert sind, können Sie erwägen Video / Fotos der Paketinhalt seinen Wert im Falle der Postdienst, Verlust oder Diebstahl des Pakets zu beweisen.

Wenn Sie keine Absenderadresse auf der Verpackung zur Verfügung zu stellen, wird es höchstwahrscheinlich durch die Post für weitere Untersuchung (vielleicht durch Röntgen oder Medikament Hunde) gekennzeichnet. Es empfiehlt sich auch, eine Absenderadresse, die nicht vorhanden ist, zu verwenden, weil das Paket auch markiert werden. Auch, wenn die Sendung nicht zugestellt werden, und kann nicht gesendet werden zurück zu Ihnen, natürlich wird das physische Geld verloren.

Darüber hinaus möchten viele Verkäufer verwenden PGP/GPG Kommunikation verschlüsselt, damit ihre e-Mail-Adresse ist nur für Sie aufgedeckt und nie auf den Dienst-Servern im nur-Text gespeichert. Es kann die Auszahlung zu PGP/GPG auf Ihrem Computer einrichten, werben, dass Sie es unterstützen und Ihren öffentlichen Schlüssel bieten.

TL; dr; Bitcoins über Bargeld per Post gekauft sind etwas anonym, obwohl Ihre Absender-Adresse (falls vorhanden) an den Verkäufer bekannt sein wird.

Kaufen Sie Bitcoins, von einem Geldautomaten

Mehr und mehr Bitcoin Geldautomaten erscheinen. In einigen Ländern Fragen sie für eine Vielzahl von Informationen zur Identifizierung, bevor Sie können alle Münzen kaufen, aber andere sind vollständig anonymisiert und einfach generieren eine Papier-Brieftasche oder Bitcoins an eine Adresse Ihrer Wahl nach der Fütterung sie etwas Bargeld zu übertragen. Finden Sie solch ein Bitcoin-ATM, wären sie eine gute Wahl erhalten Sie Bitcoins, anonym und ohne viel Aufwand, auch wenn Sie über dem aktuellen Marktpreis zahlen müssen — aber sie sind selten.

Online-Arbeit

Eine andere Möglichkeit, Bitcoins anonym ist, mit online-Arbeit zu verdienen. Gibt es aber viel eher schattigen Stellenangebote, immer üben Sorgfalt bei der Arbeit und muss anonym bleiben Annahme es muss natürlich nie Ihre wahre Identität zu Ihrer Arbeitgeber zu offenbaren.

Reddit’s Jobs4Bitcoins Subreddit ist ein guter Ort, um nach Jobs zu suchen, die Bitcoins bezahlen. Stellenangebote mit [HIRING] gekennzeichnet werden soll, und es liegt an Ihnen, den Kontakt zu machen, wenn Sie etwas finden, die Sie mögen. Sie können natürlich auch Ihre marktgängigen werben Fähigkeiten mit einem Beitrag, achten Sie darauf, es mit [FORHIRE] zu markieren.

Coinality ist eine gute Bitcoin-Baustelle hat eine Menge Arbeit-Angebote, die nach Art der Beschäftigung, Kategorie, Zahlungs- und Lage gefiltert werden können. Die meisten Jobangebote auf Coinality sind Technologie und internetbezogene und viele können man online von überall in der Welt. Du kannst auch Ihren Lebenslauf um potentielle Arbeitgeber zu gewinnen.

Es gibt auch Dutzende von Websites, die winzige Mengen besuchen Websites und beobachten anzeigen bezahlen, aber sie sind in der Regel nicht, sich die Zeit und Mühe.

TL; dr; Anonyme Bitcoins erhalten Sie durch die Arbeit für sie. Aber vermeiden, Jobs, die Sie Videos ansehen oder klicken Sie auf Links zu bezahlen – sie werden nicht viel bezahlen.

Mining Mints frisch Bitcoins, die noch nicht existierten vor und ist deshalb eine anonyme Möglichkeit Münzen zu erhalten. Der große Nachteil ist, dass Bergbau von etwas, die jeder Standardhardware zu einem hart umkämpften Markt bringen wo nur spezialisierte Mining Hardware entwickelt hat (so genannte ASICs) hoffen kann, um einen Gewinn zu generieren.

Solche Bitcoin-Bergleute sind nicht leicht zu bekommen, vor allem, wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einer, die Sie mehr als seine Preisvorstellung ergeben wird. Die Schwierigkeit zu mir Bitcoins steigt kontinuierlich, durch das Netzwerk Selbstregulierung Mechanismus, und nicht selten Bitcoin Bergleute können nur auf Vorbestellung, die mehr als oft nicht erwiesen hat sich eine Enttäuschung für Mining-Enthusiasten gekauft werden. Im Allgemeinen sind die Chancen zu mehr Bitcoins mit Bergbau als einfach kaufen schlank unübertroffen, es sei denn, Sie in eine große Bergbauunternehmen investieren.

Wenn Sie noch erwägen, gehen auf diesem Weg wegen der Anonymität, machen Sie Ihre Hausaufgaben und erforschen Bitcoins Schwierigkeit Aufstieg und ähnliche ROI (Return on Investment) Berechnungen für verfügbare Bergbau Hardware. Auch besonderes Augenmerk auf den Ruf der Hardwarehersteller und Lieferanten.

TL; dr; Mining ist eine gute Möglichkeit, Bitcoins anonymisiert, aber es erfordert eine große Vorabinvestitionen und es gibt keine Garantie, Sie verdienen Ihr Geld zurück.

Reinigung Ihrer befleckten Bitcoins

Wenn Sie Bitcoins, die bereits in sein haben irgendwie behaftet mit einem Link, die Sie identifizieren könnte, es ist möglich, diesen Link zu brechen und die Münzen wieder effektiv zu anonymisieren. Wenn es richtig gemacht, wird nicht zukünftige Transaktionen ab diesem Zeitpunkt nicht mehr an Sie angeschlossen werden.

Zu diesem Zweck gibt es Mischer (auch bekannt als Trinkgläser). Das grundlegende Konzept ist, dass Sie die Münzen senden, die Sie in den Mixer, anonymisiert haben sendet wiederum wieder den gleichen Betrag abzüglich einer Gebühr an eine neue Adresse, die Sie bereitstellen möchten. Die Münzen erhalten Sie zurück aus einem großen Pool von der Misch-Dienst verwaltet werden und sollte idealerweise keine Verbindung zu Ihren ursprünglichen Münzen haben.

Der große Fehler dieses Konzepts ist die zentrale Natur. Du musst den mixen ab, um zurück zu geben, Ihre Münzen zu vertrauen, und außerdem müssen Sie darauf vertrauen, dass sie Aufzeichnungen über die durchgeführten mischen Transaktionen nicht einhalten. Besonders der letzte Punkt ist schwierig, da Sie für bestimmte nie wissen können, was sie mit den Daten tun. Wenn der Mixer wirklich keine Transaktionsdatensätze nicht, haben sie keine Möglichkeit, es zu beweisen. Auf der anderen Seite, wenn sie nicht oder sogar gezwungen sind, mit der hand über ihre Daten, haben Sie keine Möglichkeit zu wissen.

Eine wichtige Verbesserung gegenüber zentralen Mischer sind so genannte CoinJoin Transaktionen. CoinJoin bündelt eine Reihe von Transaktionen von mehreren Benutzern gemeinsam in einer Weise, die es unmöglich macht, mit absoluter Sicherheit sagen, die wie viele Münzen an welche Adresse senden. Das Beste daran ist, dass CoinJoin kein Vertrauen in einen Dritten, weil es ausschließlich zwischen den Teilnehmern durchgeführt werden kann und zu keinem Zeitpunkt sind Ihre Münzen in Gefahr gestohlen werden.

Bitmixer ist ein zentraler Mischpult Service. Es können Sie eine oder mehrere forward-Adressen angeben, wo erhalten Sie Ihre gemischten Münzen. Sie können auch angeben, die Verzögerung und die prozentuale Verteilung zu den Adressen den Prozess weiter anpassen. Wenn Sie mit dem Setup fertig sind, Sie die Eingabe-Adresse und einen speziellen Code erhalten. Der Code wird verhindern Sie immer eigene Münzen von vorherigen Mischungen, wenn Sie Bitmixer mehr als einmal verwenden. Bitmixer der Gebühren betragen 0,5 % plus einen zusätzlichen 0.0005 BTC für jede forward Adresse verwendet.

Bitcoin Nebel ist ein zentrales Mischpult, das in Form von einem Tor versteckt-Dienst vorhanden ist. Access der real Website müssen Sie ein Tor-fähigen Browser. Sie müssen ein Konto zuerst erstellen, an die Sie die Münzen senden, die Sie kombinieren möchten. Dann können Sie anfordern, dass Auszahlungen und die Website automatisch eine Reihe von Auszahlungen mit unterschiedlichen Beträgen und Verzögerungen randomize werden. Die Gebühr ist auch nach dem Zufallsprinzip zwischen 1 % und 3 % pro Einlage.

TL; dr; Bitcoin-Mischer können helfen, Ihre persönlichen Daten vor bestimmten Bitcoins aufheben durch tauschen Ihre Münzen mit anderen Münzen oft über.

DarkWallet

Bitcoin ist immer noch eine ziemlich neue Technologie und versuche, die anonyme Nutzung mit hoher Benutzerfreundlichkeit ermöglichen sind noch jünger. Ein vielversprechendes Projekt in dieser Hinsicht ist DarkWallet, der darauf abzielt, ein Bitcoin-Wallet für die Massen zu sein, die Anonymität und Privatsphäre so mühelos wie möglich macht. DarkWallet wurde kürzlich als alpha-Software und noch eignet sich nicht für die Verwendung mit echten Bitcoins bis weitere Test- und Entwicklungszwecken abgeschlossen wurde. Das Endziel ist die Schaffung eine Brieftasche, die auf CoinJoin Transaktionen, stealth-Adressen (die helfen um den Empfänger zu verstecken, auch wenn die stealth-Adresse veröffentlicht hat) und Zugriff über Proxy Netze basiert. DarkWallet wird als eine Erweiterung für Chrome und Firefox verfügbar.

Using Bitcoin Anonymously

All Bitcoin transactions are stored in a public ledger called the blockchain. The data stored in each of these transactions includes a bitcoin payment amount and the Bitcoin addresses of the sender and the recipient (among other things). Because every transaction uses the bitcoins from a prior transaction, and the blockchain is public data, every Bitcoin payment has a traceable history that can be viewed by anyone.

Bitcoin addresses are not themselves linked to a person or entity. That’s why Bitcoin is often called pseudonymous or pseudo-anonymous. However, a person’s identity can be associated with a Bitcoin address through other means. Once that occurs, it’s possible to determine that person’s transactions backward and forward through the blockchain history. A single anonymity breach can uncover an individual’s entire Bitcoin transaction history.

But how is an address linked with a person? Most commonly, the association occurs when people publish their name together with their Bitcoin address online. But there are plenty of other ways (take a look at the Top Seven Ways Your Identity Can Be Linked to Your Bitcoin Address). Once the association has been made, a party with enough determination, time, and resources could analyze the blockchain and determine how many bitcoins an individual has, how they receive them, and how they spend them.

To use Bitcoin anonymously, precautions need to be taken to prevent your true identity from being associated with your transactions and addresses.

tl;dr; Bitcoin is not anonymous — but it can be anonymous enough, if you’re careful.

Use a New Address for Every Incoming Transaction

The first and easiest step is to use a new, unused address for every incoming transaction. Simply generating a new address and using it to receive a payment helps hide the total balance of your Bitcoin wallet. If every payment you receive goes to a different address that you own, then those bitcoins are spread out amongst multiple addresses, instead of being stored in a big lump sum at a single address. This makes it much harder for someone to know how many bitcoins you own because most Bitcoin clients do not publicly reveal which addresses you own when you get a payment.

However, these addresses can be publicly associated with each other when you send a payment. If the total amount of the transaction you’re sending is larger than the amount you have at a single address, then the balances of a few of your addresses must be combined as the inputs to reach the total amount of the transaction. Once this transaction is stored in the blockchain, it can indicate, but not necessarily prove, that those individual input addresses were owned by a single entity. If your identity has not been associated with any of your addresses, your anonymity should still be mostly safe.

But if you already have a few transactions linked to your name, it may be best to start a completely new wallet that is dedicated to using Bitcoin anonymously, and transfer your bitcoins to the new wallet by running them through a mixer. Keep your anonymous wallet and regular wallet separate — don’t send coins between the two without using a mixer.

Also worth noting is that Bitcoin transactions always spend the complete amount stored in an address. That means if you are sending 1 bitcoin from an address that contains 2 bitcoins, the extra 1 bitcoin will be included in the transaction, but will be sent back to one of your own addresses. In the most simple form the change will go back to the original address, but this has the major drawback that it will be clearly visible which address belonged to the receiving party. For that reason most Bitcoin wallets automatically create new change addresses to receive the leftovers of your transactions. These change addresses can help mask who the intended recipient of the transaction truly was.

tl;dr; Generate a new address for every payment you want to receive — it helps hide your total Bitcoin balance.

Avoid Thin Clients and Hosted Wallets

Almost all thin clients leak which addresses you own to whatever Simple Payment Verification (SPV) server they connect to. Thin clients do not store the blockchain locally. Instead, they query a single SPV server for the transactions that involve the addresses in your wallet. While this functionality is far more efficient and fast than parsing the blockchain locally, the trade-off is that every Bitcoin address you own is submitted to the SPV server.

Some thin clients, such as Multibit, have the capability of using bloom filters to help conceal which addresses you own by requesting extra transactions that don’t involve your wallet. However, Multibit currently favors efficiency over privacy and does not utilize bloom filters for address anonymization. The Electrum thin client doesn’t use bloom filters at all, so just like Multibit, any server you connect to knows every address that you own.

Hosted clients are even worse in terms of anonymity. All of your private and public keys reside on 3rd party servers, so it is trivial for the operator to know which Bitcoin addresses you own. Additionally, any other information you’ve submitted to the service is associated with your Bitcoin addresses and can be easily accessed by the service’s operators.

One of the fundamentals of Bitcoin is not having to trust any single party. In terms of anonymity, it’s best to use a full Bitcoin client like Bitcoin-Qt or Armory, and store the entire blockchain locally.

tl;dr; Thin clients and hosted wallets leak which addresses you own — use a full client like Bitcoin-Qt or Armory instead.

Bitcoin and Your IP Address

When you are initiating a transaction on your computer, the Bitcoin client sends the necessary data to other clients, effectively broadcasting the Bitcoin transfer to the network. Bitcoin doesn’t encrypt its traffic, which means your internet service provider, the owner of the public WIFI hotspot your are using, or the NSA can look into your transactions and determine your Bitcoin balances with little effort. For a sophisticated third party it’s entirely possible gather a lot of data about performed transactions to reveal the identity of Bitcoin users at large.

If your need for anonymity warrants counteracting IP traceability, you need to connect to the Bitcoin network through an anonymizing layer like Tor or a virtual private network (VPN).

Get Tor from the official website, install the Tor client and make sure it is running. Then go to your Bitcoin client’s network settings and set the connection to SOCKS proxy, address 127.0.0.1 (also known as localhost) via port 9050 (the standard Tor port) or port 9150 (if you installed the Tor browser bundle). Tor is naturally slower than your direct internet connection, so if you want to setup a full client for use via Tor, it’d be a good idea to first download the blockchain without Tor, and then use Tor whenever sending a transaction.

Besides Tor it’s also possible to use a VPN to hide your IP address. But this comes with the stipulation that you must trust the VPN provider not to log or reveal your transactions. Most VPN providers provide configurations or applications that automatically route all of your internet traffic through their service, so it’s not necessary to perform additional configurations on your Bitcoin client.

Use a Public (WIFI) Network for an extra layer of anonymity

When public WIFI is used in addition to Tor or a VPN, another layer of security is added to your anonymity. Home internet service providers collect customer’s names, addresses, and other personal details when the customer signs up for the service. Your identity is directly tied to your IP address and whatever internet traffic you generate using their internet connection.

Public WIFI does not require you to provide your personal details to make an internet connection, making it more difficult for your activity to be traced back to you. However, there are still other things to consider. Your MAC address will most likely be logged by the public WIFI operator, which can be used to identify your computer. Most operating systems allow you to spoof the true MAC address of your network card by generating and using a random MAC address instead. This should be done every time prior to connecting to the public WIFI network. Also, consider other ways in which your identity could be linked to your connection such as:

security cameras in the area

using the same WIFI location on a recurring basis and being recognized by employees

using a credit card to purchase goods at the location

browsing unencrypted sites that have you’ve submitted your personal details to

Remember, it is recommended to keep all your public WIFI traffic encrypted with Tor or a VPN.

tl;dr; Hide your Bitcoin internet traffic using Tor and/or a VPN. Use public WIFI as an additional measure.

How to get Bitcoins Anonymously

While it’s possible to anonymize Bitcoins later by breaking the identity chain that links you to the coins, the best way to stay anonymous is not to have your credentials linked to a Bitcoin transaction in the first place.

If you buy bitcoins on an exchange site, they’re inevitably linked to your name. Most exchanges require that you verify your identity by providing a scan of your government ID. You may also need to provide scans of utility bills or bank statements to prove your physical address. Also, many exchanges only accept national currency transfers via bank account or credit card, further proving your identity and leaving a paper trail that’s easy to trace. Once you provide the exchange with a withdrawal Bitcoin address to send your newly purchased bitcoins to, that address is linked to your name in the exchanges records. Those records could be leaked, published, or requested by law enforcement officials.

tl;dr; Bitcoin exchanges require documents and bank accounts that prove who you are. Avoid them.

Buy Bitcoins in Person

Your best bet to buy bitcoins in an anonymous fashion is to meet face-to-face with someone willing to sell bitcoins for physical cash. There are a number of websites where you can find people to trade with, but the most popular site is LocalBitcoins. To stay anonymous, the following precautions should be taken:

Don’t provide any information that could be used to identify you. Don’t provide your real name, personal email address, phone number, or physical address.

If you must provide your phone number or use a phone to coordinate a trade meetup, get a burner phone. They’re cheap and can be purchased with cash.

Depending on your anonymity needs, you might want to use an anonymous internet connection, like Tor, to access LocalBitcoins and your throw-away email account.

Find a seller who is willing to trade Bitcoins for cash.

Review the seller’s history and the feedback they have received from other buyers, don’t trade with new sellers.

Meet in a well populated, public place. It may be useful to walk or bike to the location to avoid having your vehicle or its license plate identified. If you must drive to the location, park a considerable distance away, or have a friend drop you off and pick you up.

tl;dr; Bitcoins purchased in person from a stranger with physical cash are highly anonymous.

Buy Bitcoins with Cash in the Mail

Anonymous money transfers can also be made by sending physical cash in the mail or with certain payment providers like MoneyPak. In this case the seller will provide a mailing address and you’ll be expected to pack and ship the payment to them. Depending on the terms of the arrangement, the seller may require you to send payment first, or they may agree to place to bitcoins in escrow. For additional security, you may also choose to send the package as registered mail, insure it, or require a signature upon delivery. If you’re insuring the package, you may consider taking video or photographs of package’s contents to prove its value in the event of the postal service losing or stealing the package.

If you choose not to provide a return address on the package, it will most likely be flagged by the postal service for further inspection (perhaps by X-ray or drug dogs). It’s also best not to use a return address that doesn’t exist, because the package will also be flagged. Also, if the shipment fails to be delivered, and can’t be sent back to you, the physical cash will obviously be lost.

Additionally, many sellers prefer to use PGP/GPG encrypted communications so that their mailing address is revealed only to you and never stored on the service’s servers in plain text. It may payoff to setup PGP/GPG on your computer, advertise that you support it, and provide your public key.

tl;dr; Bitcoins purchased via cash sent through the mail are somewhat anonymous, though your return address (if provided) will be known to the seller.

Buy Bitcoins from an ATM

More and more Bitcoin ATMs are appearing. In some jurisdictions they ask for a lot of identifying information before you can buy any coins, but others are completely anonymous and simply generate a paper wallet or transfer bitcoins to an address of your choice after feeding them some cash. If you can find such a Bitcoin ATM, they’d be a good choice to get you bitcoins anonymously and without much hassle, even if you have to pay above the current market price — but they are rare.

Online Work

Another way to get Bitcoins anonymously is to earn them with online work. There are a lot of rather shady job offers though, always exercise due diligence when accepting a job and to stay anonymous it’s of course necessary never to reveal your real identity to your employers.

Reddit’s Jobs4Bitcoins subreddit is a good place to look for jobs that pay Bitcoins. Job offers should be marked with [HIRING] and it’s up to you to make the contact when you find something you like. You can of course also advertise your marketable skills with a post, be sure to mark it with [FORHIRE].

Coinality is a good Bitcoin job site has a lot of work offers that can be filtered by type of employment, category, payment and location. Most job offers on Coinality are technology and internet related and many can be done online from anywhere in the world. You can also post your resume to attract potential employers.

There are also dozens of sites that pay minuscule amounts for visiting sites and watching ads, but they are generally not worth the time and effort.

tl;dr; You can get anonymous bitcoins by working for them. But avoid jobs that pay you to watch videos or click links — they won’t pay much.

Mining mints fresh bitcoins that haven’t existed before and is therefore an anonymous way to obtain coins. The major downside is that mining has evolved from something that anybody could do with commodity hardware to a highly competitive market where only specialized mining hardware (so called ASICs) can hope to generate a profit.

Such Bitcoin miners are not easy to come by though, especially if you are looking for one that will yield you more than its asking price. The difficulty to mine Bitcoins is constantly rising, due to the network’s self-regulation mechanism, and quite often Bitcoin miners can only be bought on pre-order, which has more often than not turned out to be a disappointment for mining enthusiasts. Generally, the chances to get more Bitcoins with mining than from simply buying are slim to none, unless you are investing in a big mining operation.

If you are still considering going down this route for anonymity’s sake, do your homework and research Bitcoin’s difficulty rise and related ROI (Return on Investment) calculations for available mining hardware. Also pay special attention to the reputation of hardware manufacturers and vendors.

tl;dr; Mining is a great way to get bitcoins anonymously, but it requires a big upfront investment and there’s no guarantee you’ll make your money back.

Cleaning Your Tainted Bitcoins

If you have bitcoins that have already be in some way tainted with a link that could identify you, it’s possible to break that link and effectively anonymize the coins again. If done correctly, future transactions from that point forward won’t be connected to you anymore.

For that purpose there are mixers (also known as tumblers). The basic concept is that you send the coins you want to have anonymized to the mixer, which in turn sends back the same amount minus a fee to a new address you provide. The coins you receive back are from a big pool maintained by the mixing service and should ideally not have any connection to your original coins.

The major flaw of this concept is its centralized nature. You have to trust the mixing service to give back your coins and additionally you have to trust that they do not keep any records of the performed mixing transactions. Especially the latter point is tricky, since you can never know for certain what they are doing with the data. If the mixer really doesn’t keep any transaction records, they have no way to prove it. On the other hand, if they don’t or are even forced to hand over their data, you have no way to know.

A major improvement over centralized mixers are so called CoinJoin transactions. CoinJoin pools a number of transactions from multiple users together in a way that makes it impossible to tell with absolute certainty who send how many coins to which address. The best part is that CoinJoin requires no trust in a third party, because it can be performed entirely between the participants and at no point are your coins in danger to be stolen.

Bitmixer is a centralized mixing service. It allows you to specify one or more forward addresses, where you will receive your mixed coins. You can also specify the delay and the percentage distribution among the addresses to further customize the process. When you are done with the setup, you will be given the input address and a special code. The code will prevent you from getting your own coins from previous mixes when you use Bitmixer more than once. Bitmixer’s fees are 0.5% plus an additional 0.0005 BTC for every forward address used.

Bitcoin Fog is a centralized mixer that exists in the form of a Tor hidden service. To access the real site you need a Tor enabled browser. You must create an account first to which you send the coins you want to mix. Then you can request withdrawals and the site will automatically randomize a series of payouts with varying amounts and delays. The fee is randomized too, between 1% and 3% per deposit.

tl;dr; Bitcoin mixers can help unlink your identity from certain bitcoins by swapping your coins with others’ coins many times over.

DarkWallet

Bitcoin is still a rather new technology and attempts to make anonymous usage possible with good usability are even younger. A promising project in this regard is DarkWallet, which aims to be a Bitcoin wallet for the masses that makes anonymity and privacy as effortless as possible. DarkWallet was recently released as alpha software, and is not yet recommended for use with real bitcoins until more testing and development has been completed. The final goal is to create a wallet that is based on CoinJoin transactions, stealth addresses (which help to hide the receiver even if the stealth address has been made public) and access via proxy networks like Tor. DarkWallet will be available as an add-on for Chrome and Firefox.

Bitcoin has a reputation in the public imagination for being an anonymous digital currency, like an internet equivalent of physical cash, but that is not entirely correct. When used normally, Bitcoin is more of a pseudonymous currency and not an anonymous one.

Anybody can download a simple piece of software and install it on their computer to use Bitcoin. Because it is a decentralized, peer-to-peer system, you do not need to register an account with any particular company or hand over any of your personal details (unless you choose to do so, for example with a web wallet provider). Once you have a wallet you can create addresses which effectively become your identity within the network. This already gives an enhanced level of privacy compared to other digital payment systems, because you can begin using the network anonymously.

There is also another side to Bitcoin, however. Because transactions must be confirmed by the network, and transaction history shared between all participants, there is a public record of all transactions which anybody can access. In fact, this is really what the ‘blockchain’ is – a shared public record of everything which happens on the Bitcoin network.

So, even though your personal identity as the owner of a wallet may not be public knowledge, all of the transactions you are involved in are public knowledge. This can be a problem for the privacy conscious user, not least because there may be other ways that an observer can link the wallets you use to your personal identity.

For example, most exchanges for buying and selling digital currency are centralized service providers who require at least some identity information from their customers before they can use the service. This is just one example of a service which uses Bitcoin but also requires identity information; there are many others, from casinos to online shopping sites.

By analyzing the activity which is visible to anybody on the public blockchain an observer may well be able to link your personal identity with all of the wallets you use and therefore your entire transaction history. In a way, this makes Bitcoin even less private than a bank account.

Fortunately there are things you can do to improve this situation.

A Beginner’s Guide to Using Bitcoin Anonymously

Basic Protection: Disposable Addresses

Many beginner’s will download their wallet software, create one or two address, and then keep using those addresses for an extended period of time. If you want privacy, then that is not the best way to use your wallet. The more you use an address the easier it is for an observer to build up a profile of your activity, whether for advertising or more sinister purposes, and even to link that activity to your personal identity.

Bitcoin addresses are not meant to be permanent locations for everything you do. Instead, it will enhance your financial privacy if you view addresses as disposable invoices – each time you are going to receive a payment you should create a new address specifically for that purpose, and then never use that address again afterwards. If you have a desktop wallet on your computer then you should be able to create any number of addresses with no problem, and no matter how many you create all of your old addresses will still be able to receive payment in case somebody sends you money using an old address they have on file for you.

Most wallets today will take care of this for you, automatically creating a new address each time you want to receive a payment, but it doesn’t hurt to be aware of this issue.

For additional considerations in choosing which wallet software to use please read: Anonymous Bitcoin Wallets Explained.

Bitcoin Mixing

(For a more detailed look at mixing, along with a complete step-by-step guide, please take a look at another of our articles: How to use a Bitcoin mixer / tumbler)

You can further enhance your privacy by using a mixing service. You can use this when you send a payment to somebody, when you are sending coins to your wallet from the site you bought them on, or you can even send money to another address you own through a mixing service in order to ‘launder’ it. This works by simply mixing up your coins with a large number of other coins from other sources before sending them out the other side. By doing this, it becomes difficult or impossible for an observer to link specific payments into the mixing service with specific payments coming out of the mixing service.

One popular and reasonably priced mixing service is offered by CoinMixer.se, but there are also many others about so if you like to shop around then a bit of Googling may be in order – just be careful to check for review though, because there are a couple of scam sites out there which claim to be mixers but actually steal your coins.

Buying and Selling Bitcoins Anonymously

If you want to make sure that your financial activities with Bitcoin cannot be connected back to your ‘real world’ identity, then you may well be wondering how to buy and sell Bitcoin anonymously.

It is when buying your coins that you are most at risk of your digital activities being associated with your personal identity, as many sites require you to verify your identity and provide ID documents in order to make a purchase. This is to help them to avoid prosecution under money laundering laws. So if you want to stay anonymous when using bitcoin this is an important part of the process.

If you cannot arrange a private deal using the methods below then you can buy using any other method and use a mixing service to transfer coins to your wallet. This will usually be enough to protect your privacy, although it isn’t quite as good as not revealing your identity anywhere in the first place and has a small cost.

Here are some instructions on how to go about arranging private deal to buy and sell coins:

#1 Using a peer-to-peer exchange where you can buy and sell with other individual users rather than a company will provide you with a better level of privacy than using a central service.

Here are some example of exchanges where you can buy and sell without providing personal details or without verifying those details (meaning you can use a false name) to the website:

Bitsquare: This is an entirely decentralized exchange, in which you trade directly with another individual without needing to go through a central service provider. You download a piece of P2P software rather than going to a website. When you open Bitsquare it creates your own ‘hidden service’ on TOR with your own .onion address, routing everything through this well established privacy service to hide your IP address – which can be used to identify you. There is no registration and no need to provide even a username. You do, however, need to provide a small security deposit of 0.01 bitcoin which you get back when you have made a trade or if you cancel your offer, so if you want to buy your first bitcoin then you will probably need to get some through one of the other options first. I personally rate this as the best method to buy and sell bitcoin anonymously, but the fixed fees mean that it is expensive for small amounts.

LocalBitcoins is one very popular peer-to-peer service for buying and sell coins, which operates in many different countries around the world. When using this site you have the option of providing identity information or not. Other users will also have the option of dealing with anonymous users or requiring identity information. Many users will require some kind of identity information, either through the site’s own ID verification system or privately over chat in order to protect themselves against both fraud and government investigation. But it is still possible to arrange anonymous trades through this method.

MultiSigna As the name implies, this exchange uses multi-sig technology for all exchanges, meaning that you do not need to trust your coins to the exchange for safe keeping, or rely on the exchange to keep their own internal books accurate – everything is on the blockchain. As the users of defunct exchanges like Mt Gox will attest, this is a big bonus in terms of security, and also makes them more decentralized and directly peer-to-peer than other options. The fees start out at the standard 0.5%, but if you are a regular trader and progress through the ‘user levels’ you can take advantage of reduced fees.

Coinffeine is not only peer-to-peer, but is also a decentralized exchange. Currently the only fiat payment method is OKPay, which has its own identification requirements, but you do not need to share personal information via Coinffeine itself and additional payment methods will be added in the future.

#2 When making a purchase on LocalBitcoins, users who are particularly concerned about their privacy should consider making payment in cash. This is particularly important if you are making a high volume of purchases because the volume alone may trigger a deeper investigation by your bank – for smaller amounts its less important but may possibly be preferable to some users. There are two ways to do this: an in-person trade where you meet up with somebody (often requires a larger purchase to make it worth their while coming to meet you), or ‘cash deposit’ where you go a branch of the sellers bank and deposit money directly into their account. Once you have signed up just click ‘buy bitcoins’, then underneath the list of the top offers you will see a link which says ‘Show More’ – this will show you a list of payment methods to choose from so that if you then click ‘cash deposit’, for example, you will see only offers from users wanting to sell you coins through this method.

#3 There is an ID verification system on the LocalBitcoins site, but its use is optional. Some sellers will require this, others will not. Some sellers may also ask you to send them a copy of your ID through a private message (although if you can make a cash trade either kind of ID requirement is less likely). Generally, providing your ID to an individual is better than uploading it to the main site, but some people may still be uncomfortable with this. Each seller should list their particular requirements within the advert, and you can also send them a message before opening a trade to get more information about their policies, so it is not difficult to ‘shop around’ for the right seller. Remember, however, that the offers listed here are constantly changing as different users go on and offline, so if none of the listings for your chosen payment method suit your needs it may be worth having a little patience and checking back later.

Stealth Addresses

Stealth addresses are a reasonably new feature which allows users to generate a new public address to represent any regular Bitcoin address. This means that you can then send money to this new stealth address without anybody knowing the true destination of the funds. You do need a wallet which supports this feature in order to use it, and at the time of writing it has not been widely adopted. If you want to give it a try then Dark wallet is a great place to start – its a browser wallet which works as an extension for Google chrome and includes stealth addresses as well as other privacy features.

Taint Analysis

If you have used a coin mixer then you can check how well its privacy services are performing with a taint analysis. This shows which addresses have sent coins to your address and is a good way to see whether mixing services are performing to your expectations. There are plenty of different service out there, so if one is working well you can always choose another.

You can perform a taint analysis using the Blockchain website. Here is an example link, just replace the BTC address with your address in the url to perform your own taint analysis: https://blockchain.info/taint/1dice6GV5Rz2iaifPvX7RMjfhaNPC8SXH

This will perform a kind of forensic test to see which addresses it thinks probably did send coins to the address you are checking. You can, for example, enter the address given to you for a marketplace site to check whether any observer would be able to tell whether your personal wallet sent coins to this address. Ideally you would want your personal address not to show up in the list at all when you do this kind of search, or at the very least you would want it to come up with a low taint % – meaning an observer could not say with any high degree of confidence that there was a link between the two addresses.

You do, however, need to provide a small security deposit of 0.01 bitcoin which you get back when you have made a trade or if you cancel your offer, so if you want to buy your first bitcoin then you will probably need to get some through one of the other options first. I personally rate this as the best method to buy and sell bitcoin anonymously, but the fixed fees mean that it is expensive for small amounts.

LocalBitcoins is one very popular peer-to-peer service for buying and sell coins, which operates in many different countries around the world. When using this site you have the option of providing identity information or not. Other users will also have the option of dealing with anonymous users or requiring identity information. Many users will require some kind of identity information, either through the site’s own ID verification system or privately over chat in order to protect themselves against both fraud and government investigation. But it is still possible to arrange anonymous trades through this method.

MultiSigna As the name implies, this exchange uses multi-sig technology for all exchanges, meaning that you do not need to trust your coins to the exchange for safe keeping, or rely on the exchange to keep their own internal books accurate – everything is on the blockchain. As the users of defunct exchanges like Mt Gox will attest, this is a big bonus in terms of security, and also makes them more decentralized and directly peer-to-peer than other options. The fees start out at the standard 0.5%, but if you are a regular trader and progress through the ‘user levels’ you can take advantage of reduced fees.

Coinffeine is not only peer-to-peer, but is also a decentralized exchange. Currently the only fiat payment method is OKPay, which has its own identification requirements, but you do not need to share personal information via Coinffeine itself and additional payment methods will be added in the future.

#2 When making a purchase on LocalBitcoins, users who are particularly concerned about their privacy should consider making payment in cash. This is particularly important if you are making a high volume of purchases because the volume alone may trigger a deeper investigation by your bank – for smaller amounts its less important but may possibly be preferable to some users. There are two ways to do this: an in-person trade where you meet up with somebody (often requires a larger purchase to make it worth their while coming to meet you), or ‘cash deposit’ where you go a branch of the sellers bank and deposit money directly into their account. Once you have signed up just click ‘buy bitcoins’, then underneath the list of the top offers you will see a link which says ‘Show More’ – this will show you a list of payment methods to choose from so that if you then click ‘cash deposit’, for example, you will see only offers from users wanting to sell you coins through this method.

#3 There is an ID verification system on the LocalBitcoins site, but its use is optional. Some sellers will require this, others will not. Some sellers may also ask you to send them a copy of your ID through a private message (although if you can make a cash trade either kind of ID requirement is less likely). Generally, providing your ID to an individual is better than uploading it to the main site, but some people may still be uncomfortable with this. Each seller should list their particular requirements within the advert, and you can also send them a message before opening a trade to get more information about their policies, so it is not difficult to ‘shop around’ for the right seller. Remember, however, that the offers listed here are constantly changing as different users go on and offline, so if none of the listings for your chosen payment method suit your needs it may be worth having a little patience and checking back later.

Stealth Addresses

Stealth addresses are a reasonably new feature which allows users to generate a new public address to represent any regular Bitcoin address. This means that you can then send money to this new stealth address without anybody knowing the true destination of the funds. You do need a wallet which supports this feature in order to use it, and at the time of writing it has not been widely adopted. If you want to give it a try then Dark wallet is a great place to start – its a browser wallet which works as an extension for Google chrome and includes stealth addresses as well as other privacy features.

Taint Analysis

If you have used a coin mixer then you can check how well its privacy services are performing with a taint analysis. This shows which addresses have sent coins to your address and is a good way to see whether mixing services are performing to your expectations. There are plenty of different service out there, so if one is working well you can always choose another.

You can perform a taint analysis using the Blockchain website. Here is an example link, just replace the BTC address with your address in the url to perform your own taint analysis: https://blockchain.info/taint/1dice6GV5Rz2iaifPvX7RMjfhaNPC8SXH

This will perform a kind of forensic test to see which addresses it thinks probably did send coins to the address you are checking. You can, for example, enter the address given to you for a marketplace site to check whether any observer would be able to tell whether your personal wallet sent coins to this address. Ideally you would want your personal address not to show up in the list at all when you do this kind of search, or at the very least you would want it to come up with a low taint % – meaning an observer could not say with any high degree of confidence that there was a link between the two addresses.

Question on a link

In the search for Anaïs Nin, one of the first few links shows a picture of a man. Why? Since Nin is a woman, I can’t figure out why. Can you show some reason for this? Who is he? If you click on the picture a group of pictures of Nin and no mention of that man. Is it an error?

Repair the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo Search App from the Google Play Store on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I went to the Yahoo Troubleshooting page but the article that said to do a certain 8 steps to fix the problem with Yahoo Services not working and how to fix the problem. Of course they didn't work.

I contacted Samsung thru their Samsung Tutor app on my phone. I gave their Technican access to my phone to see if there was a problem with my phone that stopped the Yahoo Search App from working. He went to Yahoo and I signed in so he could try to fix the Yahoo Search App not working. He also used another phone, installed the app from the Google Play Store to see if the app would do any kind of search thru the app. The Yahoo Search App just wasn't working.

I also had At&t try to help me because I have UVERSE for my internet service. My internet was working perfectly. Their Technical Support team member checked the Yahoo Search App and it wouldn't work for him either.

We can go to www.yahoo.com and search for any topic or website. It's just the Yahoo Search App that won't allow anyone to do web searches at all.

I let Google know that the Yahoo Search App installed from their Google Play Store had completely stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I told them that Yahoo has made sure that their Yahoo members can't contact them about anything.

I noticed that right after I accepted the agreement that said Oath had joined with Verizon I started having the problem with the Yahoo Search App.
No matter what I search for or website thru the Yahoo Search App it says the following after I searched for

Einige Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten

Wenn Sie Bitcoin gerade erst kennenlernen, sollten Sie ein paar Dinge wissen. Bitcoin lässt Sie auf eine andere Art und Weise Geld senden als bei einer Bank. Deshalb sollten Sie sich Zeit nehmen um sich zu informieren, bevor sie Bitcoin für ernsthafte Transaktionen verwenden. Bitcoin sollte mindestens mit der gleichen Sorgfalt behandelt werden wie Ihre normale Geldbörse.

Sichern Sie Ihre Wallet

Wie im richtigen Leben, müssen Sie Ihre Wallet sicher verwahren. Bitcoin macht den weltweiten Transfer von Beträgen einfacher als jemals zuvor und gibt ihnen die Kontrolle über ihr Geld. So große Möglichkeiten gehen mit großen Sicherheitsbedenken einher. Richtig eingesetzt, kann Bitcoin sehr hohe Sicherheitsansprüche erfüllen. Bedenken Sie immer, dass es in Ihrer Verantwortung liegt, Ihr Geld bestmöglich abzusichern. Lesen Sie mehr über die Sicherung Ihres Wallets.

Der Bitcoin-Preis ist volatil

Der Preis einer Bitcoin kann innerhalb kurzer Zeit unvorhersehbar steigen oder fallen, da das Wirtschaftssystem sehr jung ist und die Umsetzung neuartig, und manchmal wegen illiquider Märkte. Deshalb ist es nicht empfohlen, Ersparnisse in Bitcoin anzulegen. Bitcoin sollte als risikoreiche Vermögensanlage betrachtet werden und Sie sollten niemals Geld in Bitcoin anlegen, dessen Verlust Sie sich nicht leisten können. Wenn Sie Zahlungen mit Bitcoin erhalten, bieten viele Dienstleister den sofortigen Umtausch in Ihre lokale Währung an.

Bitcoin-Zahlungen sind nicht umkehrbar

Zahlungen mit Bitcoin können nicht rückgängig gemacht werden, sie können nur durch den Empfänger zurückgezahlt werden. Daher sollten Sie nur mit Personen und Organisationen handeln, die Sie kennen und denen Sie vertrauen. Der Part der Unternehmen besteht darin, die Kontrolle über die Zahlungsaufforderungen zu behalten, die sie ihren Kunden anzeigen. Aber keine Sorge, Bitcoin kann Tippfehler erkennen und in der Regel können Sie kein Geld an eine ungültige Adresse senden. In der Zukunft könnten zusätzliche Dienste vorhanden sein, die mehr Wahlmöglichkeiten und Schutz für Kunden bieten.

Bitcoin ist nicht anonym

Wenn Sie Ihre Privatsphäre mit Bitcoin schützen wollen, ist ein wenig Aufwand erforderlich. Alle Bitcoin-Transkationen sind öffentlich und dauerhaft im Netzwerk gespeichert, was bedeutet, dass jeder den Kontostand und die Transaktionen jeder Bitcoin-Adresse einsehen kann. Die Identität des Besitzers kann aber nicht mit der Bitcoin-Adresse in Verbindung gebracht werden, solange bis der Besitzer Informationen im Rahmen einer Transaktion oder anderweitig preisgibt. Daher sollte man Bitcoin Adressen nur einmalig verwenden. Denken Sie immer daran, dass es in ihrer Verwantwortung liegt, sich gute Praktiken anzueignen um ihre Privatsphäre schützen zu können. Lesen Sie mehr über den Schutz ihrer Privatsphäre.

Sofort-Transaktionen sind weniger sicher

Eine Bitcoin-Transaktion ist in der Regel innerhalb weniger Sekunden verteilt und in den darauf folgenden 10 Minuten beginnt die Bestätigung. Innerhalb dieser Zeit gilt die Transaktion als glaubwürdig, aber umkehrbar. Unehrliche Nutzer könnten versuchen zu schummeln. Falls Sie nicht zu lange warten wollen, sollten Sie eine kleine Transaktionsgebühr ansetzen, oder ein System verwenden, welches unsichere Transaktionen erkennt, um die Sicherheit zu erhöhen. Für größere Summen ab 1000€ empfiehlt es sich auf 6 Bestätigungen oder mehr zu warten. Jede Bestätigung verringert das Risiko einer umkehrbaren Bestätigung exponentiell.

Bitcoin ist noch experimentell

Bitcoin ist eine experimentelle neue Währung, und wird aktiv weiterentwickelt. Auch wenn es mit steigender Nutzung immer weniger experimentell wird, sollten Sie bedenken, dass Bitcoin eine neue Erfindung ist, die Ideen verfolgt, die vorher nie ausprobiert wurden. Daher kann die Zukunft von niemandem vorhergesagt werden.

Steuern und Regulierung

Bitcoin ist keine offizielle Währung. Allerdings sehen die meisten Gesetzgeber immer noch Einkommens-, Umsatz- und Lohnsteuer, sowie Kapitalertragssteuern auf alle Anlagen, inklusive Bitcoin, vor. Es liegt in Ihrer Verantwortung sicherzustellen, dass Sie eventuell erforderliche Steuern bezahlen und andere von Ihrer Regierung und/oder Gemeinde beschlossenen rechtlichen oder regulatorischen Erlässe einhalten.
