So you're saying holding Bitcoin can be hazardous to our health? Whoa, I don't think that's one of the approved talking points.

If you have a few thousand dollars of gold in your house, you shouldn't worry too much. But if you have a billion dollars of gold in your basement, you should be very, very paranoid. Even with perfect security, you'd still be a ransom target.

If I'd have a billion dollars of worth gold in my Basement I'd be impressed if somebody managed to steal it. Since 1bn USD in gold would weigh 22603KG...

Only if your DSL router hosts an SMTP relay. You're confusing traceroute with email.

Many (most?) SMTP servers will include the client IP in message headers. IIRC it's even required by ope of the RFCs.

Many (most) people connecting to an SMTP server will be doing so from behind nat. Finding out the users "real" ip address is 10.x.x.x isn't so exciting.

No. Probably the date was set wrong by the sender.

YY/MM/DD (June 22, 2012) ?

That's the chinese date format (GB/T 7408-2005), so the GMX web mail client probably doesn't convert it into a uniform format.

That guy did a really bad job of blacking out sensitive information. It probably nails the receiver down to only a couple of hundred people.

Assuming it's not doctored, I'm very surprised he would order something from a random company to his real name/address using his Satoshi e-mail...presumably he has other e-mails, and that seems like pretty horrendous op sec. Unless he bought it for a friend? edit: the item he ordered was a FPGA in mid 2013. He's really bothering with a single $400 miner in 2013...? He doesn't have enough BTC?

> FPGA in mid 2013

That's further evidence that someone placed an order on his email with a fake address for giggles.

how so?

I think the implication he is trying to make is this: If it was a collective of people it is(might be) more likely that one of them is incompetent(and didn't configure TOR properly) where-as if it was a single competent/careful individual there's a smaller chance of a TOR mis-configuration and resulting IP-address leak. I don't think it lends much credence to the 'multiple entities' theory at all personally, but that…

thanks - makes sense

Bitcoiners tend to discredit only themselves.

No no, it's a conspiracy to create a conspiracy around the conspiracy. Hanlon's Razor is instructive here.

Hanlon's Razor is enemy propaganda.
