Hmm. How about this: everyone can be police, but an investigation incurs cost, so to simulate an investigation they'd have to put up some money (that goes to charity or to BlindMixerDR). Something like 0.2 BTC. They would receive a share of the bounty, of course. BlindMixerDR would have to answer yes/no to any (payed) police inquiry asking "are you xzy?". Of course someone having hard evindence could play the police role themselves, also.
That way wild guessing is disincentivised while still allowing for "hunches of a detective" not supported by hard evidence to play out (viable investigative method if I can believe TV shows
. In other words: If someone is sure to have found you but has no hard evidence, he can still "corrupt" the police to pay a visit to you and see if it's you.
Am I just babbling nonsense?
Yes, I have already made rules to say that someone who has a hunch, and explains where the hunch comes from (so it is not just a guess), then they can make a donation to FSF or torservers.net. And if you make the donation, then I will answer. I only said 0.005BTC for the donation. 0.2BTC is $30 now, so that would be too much.That way wild guessing is disincentivised while still allowing for "hunches of a detective" not supported by hard evidence to play out (viable investigative method if I can believe TV shows

We could make the donation higher, and then I will also make another equal donation to the same charity (FSF or torservers). Is that fair? Is 0.02BTC ok?
But I want to make sure everyone understands: even if you pay the donation, if you just guess with no explanation of your guess, or with an explanation that is just invented, then I still won't answer. There needs to be a convincing reason.
