They are a US business subject to regulation which makes having truly anonymous currency very suspect. Also their nodes log and broadcast user IP addresses whenever they make a transaction, essentially making it possible to correlate wallet addresses with IP addresses of computers or phones. Which can be used to get user information based on those IP addresses like your facebook or linkedin and show which users spent what transactions and hold which balances.<br /><br />Only real way to avoid that is to run your wallets through a combination of Tor and VPN, but even then it's still a US business who could face regulation and legal issues at any time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704573462403312459.post-40124703057846648232016-10-27T15:36:42.924-04:002016-10-27T15:36:42.924-04:00You've got the floor.

Would have been great to hear a bit about the improvements in anonymity actually achieved by bitcoin, for example hierarchical deterministic addresses.
