Bitcoin Is Not Anonymous

An anonymous reader writes "Researchers from University College Dublin have conducted an analysis of anonymity on Bitcoin, and found it is not inherently anonymous, and that in many cases, users and their transactions can be identified. They use techniques such as context discovery and flow analysis to investigate and visualize an alleged theft of Bitcoins, which, at the time of the theft, had a market value of approximately half a million U.S. dollars."

Except that is how it is supposed to be spelt. It is a defined term, and just because Americans are too fucking stupid to cope with it doesn't change that.
