With this head cold, I should be resting, but instead I'm catching up on the Bitcoin conference videos. I was really encouraged to hear Gavin bring up the issue of privacy 4 minutes into his presentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=JfF5mJDgZWc#t=239s
I hadn't even considered Cloudflare's involvement, but that makes sense. Since legal money transmitters are required to know who I am, I figured any exchange in the US is far from private already.
Can you share more about this? Are there techniques that don't involve high risk and/or couldn't be seen as structuring or money laundering?
You raise some really important points. I used to believe governments (at least the US one which is supposed to be about liberty), were about protecting the rights of their citizens. I know think they are more about protecting their own existence. The founders knew this would be a concern, but it seems we didn't listen well enough.
I hope math is enough to win the day. Maybe we can figure out how to use math to fight drones.
SSL terminates at the cloudflare proxy.. virtually all bitcoin exchanges are behind cloudflare..

I have used various techniques to remove taint in the past, but my methods have had to evolve as the Bitcoin ecosystem changed. It's not an easy proposition.
