waiting for Mahin's input on blockchain.info/taint..............
the entire objective of this discussion is, identifying tools for f2f buyers, so that they can at least take some precautionary measures, against the risks of buying STOLEN or TAINTED coins.
skang, suppose i am doing a f2f deal, buying bitcoins worth 2 lakhs INR, and i want to take some precautionary steps, what should I be doing to safeguard myself??
I am making the below list, which I think will be definitely helpful for the Indian BTC community in the long run............. (please keep on expanding the list)
Precautionary steps against risk of buying Tainted/STOLEN coins:
1. Ask the seller of coins to provide his BTC address beforehand, so that you (the buyer) can do a taint analysis via blockchain.info/taint, before proceeding for the transaction.
Relevant notes on the above point:
2. Do a google search for that address and see if anything suspicious comes up
