Only dynamic IP changes not the static one.And the dynamic one can forward to the static one so it's not a big deal.
Meh,since now more and more countries are banning Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency , theymos should atleast give some informations on how bitcointalk deals with these kind of requests if they are ever made by the authorities.
People also change ISPs and thus their IP changes. I was referring it not being a problem too much for the ones that were leaked if someone has changed providers not particularly you.
See? That's what I'm talking about. This kind of glitch shoundn't be there.
If I put an image in a post in this thread, then I can get a list of the IPs of the people who have viewed the thread. Cross refer a few threads, and I can probably isolate your individual IP.
This has happened before, and isn't allowed. See:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=341146.0 Rauol Duke who was a member of the staff at the time removed it, and we can only assume that this isn't tolerated and these sort of things are checked.
See the discussion for ways to avoid this through extensions. E.g
Request Policy You are also susceptible to this sort of breach of privacy anywhere you visit. For example, if someone posted a link of a image on Reddit/r/Bitcoin and, you viewed it. It would require the person to actually own the website, and have the image hosted on their server. Therefore, they are pretty easy to identify, and as long as you have some sort of protection like requestpolicy (discontinued) you are fine. For example, uMatrix is pretty good especially when used in conjunction with uBlock. Although, it can make some ugly viewing at default settings you can whitelist/blacklist what you want.
