Wait we can find out who's the senter? I didnt thought that would be possible

It isn't easy, and it isn't always possible.  It really depends on how careful the sender is as well as how careful the people and business that the sender interacts with are.

Many people post their bitcoin addresses publicly.  Others interact with people or businesses that post their bitcoin address publicly.  Many also re-use the same address more than once.

If you do any of these, then yes, it improves the chances that we can find out who is the sender.

In this case the sender re-used addresses and interacted with people or businesses that post their bitcoin address publicly.

Bitcoin is not anonymous.  Anyone who told you it is was either lying to you or misinformed.  Every transaction can be tracked from address to address until it leads to an address that is public.  Once you get there, you just have to ask that person who they sent to (or received from), and trace the chain of transactions back the way you came.

the most simple way to make your BTC vanish from stalker is to deposit at an exchange all your BTC then buy another crypto that is stable and move the new crypto you've bought at another exchange and sell it for BTC you will loose the fees plus the difference from exchanges but if you are careful you can even finish this process in profit, withdraw the BTC to another address you own!

no one can trace this!

daaamn, that's genius Cheesy

IANAFA (I am not a forensic accountant), so I'm no expert in the matter.

One possibility that comes to mind is that they know the total AUR that the deposited BTC can purchase.  They see the depoist from you at the first exchange.  Then they find a transaction (or set of transactions) withdrawing the right amount of AUR from the first exchange.  They follow these transactions through the AUR blockchain until they see them all deposited into the exact same account at the second exchange.  They know the total BTC that the deposited AUR can purchase, so they find a transaction (or set of transactions) withdrawing the right amount of BTC from the second exchange.

In addition they track the source of where you get the initial BTC from, and they track the location that the final BTC are stored or spent.  A subpoena and a search warrant, and they confirm that the bitcoins are yours.

can they track you down if you're using a dynamic IP which changes every day? Cheesy

.1 out of nowhere? Damnnnnn! That's like finding 60 bucks (at current trading) in your bank account!

I once got 0.25BTC and I still don't know who I got them from Cheesy

Feel free to send me 0.25btc, and I won't care who you are lol  Grin
Why don't you send half to me? I could use it. Cheesy

Unfortunately I lost them, don't ask me how Sad
How did you lose them? Grin

let's say Sheep Marketplace went down Cheesy
I'm not sure, but I think I get it. Undecided
Back on topic, just keep the coins. There's pretty much next to nothing possibility of finding who those coins belong after that much time.

my coins were at the website when it got hacked, that's all to understand Cheesy

Altough I don't regret it, I'v gotten smarter and I'm not using those kind of websites anymore Cheesy

well, if the sender wanted you to know he sent them he would of told you, just keep them and enjoy them Smiley
