But how would you know that guy is hitman and has killed someone and has received coins on that address. The crime and bitcoin address should be connected and should have been in public knowledge or atleast in the knowledge of tool you are using.

Taint analysis can help you only with bad addresses which are already identified as connected to some so called crime.

Will surely try to put some points later today as I will have to use blockchain.info taint analysis tool ( Never used it before )

Regards

if i would have known, i wud have NEVER BOUGHT the T1 tainted coins, in the first place!

The POLICE wud know in there investigation and will come knocking on my door because, i being the good guy, went to unocoin to sell my T1 Tainted coins- they have my ip, they have my id proof and they have ME!! Embarrassed

I do believe blockchain.info's taint analysis tool is to test the integrity of a mixing service.

The first answer points to the mild pointlessness of tainting coins.

Think of it like collecting money at the office to pay for a coffee run. Five people are buying coffee, each costing $3.

Bob puts in a $5, for a latte Alice puts in $3, for an espresso Carolyn puts in $10 for a cappucino

A driver goes to the coffee shop, the bill totals $9, so the $10 bill is handed over and given out is a cappucino, an espresso and a latte. A $1 of change is given back to the driver.

Back at the office the driver gives bob the $1 from the coffee shop plus a $1 that was received from Alice. The driver gives Caroylyn the $5 that came from Bob and two $1s that came from Alice. Each person gets their coffee.
