I have such a question - do I understand correctly that I can find out at what address how much BTK is? that is, this information is not confidential?

Question

Payment systems

as an example, the post contains a list of the twenty "richest" Bitcoin addresses as of June 19, 2012 http://habrahabr.ru/post/146388/ that is, this data is not anonymous? anyone can track on which address how many btc?(

Answer 1

Thanks for answers. It turns out that in theory it is possible to identify the address and the real user, despite the fact that the creators claim the opposite. (I don’t take into account the case where I myself am in some situation, whether it’s a withdrawal of funds or a purchase, I exposed my data) These thoughts were prompted by this: http://paysyst.ru/bitcoin-anonymity.html http://forum.antichat.ru/archive/index.php?t-352873.html and especially this http://www.forumprobanki.ru/topic4184.html

Answer 2

That's right, the data is not anonymous. Everyone sees all transactions on the network.

Answer 3

Moreover, you can see where this address received the money from and where it sent it. That is, cue ball is not an anonymous currency, only the owner of the wallet is anonymous, but not the movement of funds

Answer 4

http://blockchain.info/address/1VayNert3x1KzbpzMGt2qdqrAThiRovi8 - here is the entire transaction log of the Deepbit miner pool as an example. (Accordingly, the recipient addresses there are the wallets of active pool members, which is also interesting information.)

PS. By the way, there is an opinion that the hype in the mining of “fresh” bitcoins is largely connected with the desire to get “clean” money in the account, even if at an unfavorable exchange rate for electricity → bitcoins.
