How is the current Bitcoin system going to spell any of this out? You can see transactions in/out. You don't know what's going to supplier or which ones. You don't know what's going back to customers. You don't know anything but money in/money out. It's like looking at a banking balance sheet that has everything blacked out but the amounts. It isn't going to give you any information that isn't already public. Blacking out the numbers as well has no benefit at all.

So your solution is the same at ymer's:
Never generate change and never combine dust/change addresses to pay for large debts.

Cool. You're right, Bitcoin is totally anonymous.

If I was standing in front of you and said "I just spent $0.98 and got $3.21 and then spent $1.00," what good would that do you? Now you know I have a net income of $1.23, but past that you don't know where the money went, what it was for or where the money came in from. You know nothing but that somewhere there are addresses where money went to and from and they happened to result in a net of $1.23. That $0.98 could have been a return or it could have been a purchase of hamburger meat (or part of a bill or x or y or z). The income could have been a purchase or accounts receivable or x or y or z. You know absolutely nothing other than that I now have $1.23 more than I had prior.

I stopped reading when you drew an analogy between Bitcoin and cold hard cash.
lol. You are either trolling or totally naive to how Bitcoin functions. You should see how well they mapped addresses in wallets of Silk Road users to user ID's on this forum based solely on addresses in people's signatures.

What did ymer say? Please don't quote him! LOL

It's too fun shooting down his crackpot ideas!
I had to click show to see it, he is normally ignored.

dunno...but if i remember right we used tumblers....sometimes two,three back to back....might not be feasible/trustworthy now but was common place iirc
