摘要: We propose Mixcoin, a protocol to facilitate anonymous payments in Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies. build on the emergent phenomenon of currency mixes, adding an accountability mechanism expose theft. demonstrate that incentives mixes clients can be aligned ensure rational will not steal. Our scheme is efficient fully compatible with Bitcoin. Against passive attacker, our provides anonymity set all other users mixing coins contemporaneously. This interesting new property no clear analog better-studied communication mixes. active attackers offers traditional
