Quote from: jazzanova on May 03, 2012, 10:39 pmThank you pine, i just posted this exact question in security two minutes ago. Feel like a bit of a plonker now.So its the fact that the coins are moved inside one entity, with presumably 10% going to another wallet each time.Do LE have these details at the moment ???? Would we know if they did?And finally if using a proxy from tor to use mtgox, will i show up as using tor or not?Thanks again..I'm not sure we're on the same page, but if I interpret your concern correctly, then I'm pretty sure the Silk Road has its own private pool/mixing service, I'm not sure it's possible to distinguish SR related internal traffic from the rest of the bitcoin network for many reasons, not least of which SR is a huge part of the bitcoin economy.With respect to LE and SR compromise, the answers are No Idea and No. You ought to use SR as if it were run by the DEA, that is why you use PGP when communicating on there.Lastly; if you use just Tor, mtgox and other exchanges will see that. Indeed, any financial institution. If you use a private proxy and use Tor to communicate through that proxy, then you are anonymous. It is less likely that they have a list of all the public proxies in the world, but possible they have some of them, hence the private proxy.
