Monero was never traced

Super Testnet 4mo ago 💬 5

Chainalysis traced this monero transaction: e4f525b214ef7310b53dd2e81be42801c7ee1a7c259ac0a093d813b493a788a8

The sender was: 98c88d7d6cee177fdd675763a51c451f36a3de026607fa5d7d1ed1eded0f5a1d

The recipient was: 2e9598dc6d1af0907297b395e71ff4cc7f38818893ccc90f7ff40fbec6820699

They also identify the change-recipient: 838bdcee6c15000a259f9f58172794a1a1bd132750f29aee1ed33bd7de94c85b

Then they follow the change to this tx: a5202cb022921d624d0e9a40a9d7e0cdc4d9cfeb0be11501414fe5a9c0cdd2a8

They got the sender's ip address from the fact that (1) when spending the change output created by the above tx (a520…d2a8), the target forgot to use a VPN (2) his wallet broadcasted the resulting transaction via a chainalysis spy node.

Having obtained the target’s ip address, Chainalysis sent it to police in Columbia, who arrested the target, allegedly a drug dealer. You can view the trace from 34:55---36:51 of this video: https://v.nostr.build/D4Nzp22vRF35IRnz.mp4

In an environment they created with wallets that they know runninh on corrupted nodes.

Real world scenario is 0!

All that takes privacy seriously run their own node through tor or i2p.

Good luck trying to trace my Monero in real world

They didn't create that environment, they were hired to trace a Columbian drug dealer's monero as part of a criminal investigation. It was a real world case.

I was thinking you were talking about the one as i explained.

But here it wasnt monero that failed dude and you know this.

His monero got traced, that's a failure

The trace was due to no fault of the target's

It was monero's fault he got traced

Russo 4mo ago

He forgot to use even VPN and is moneros fault that he was traced 😂😂😂😂

That was the transaction *afterwards*

The one I highlighted, he *did* use a VPN and *still* got traced

What should he have done differently?

You are disonest and you know it

It’s too bad about monero failing, but no need to take out inadequacies on a superior form of money like bitcoin. Just get back up, dust yourself off and take the L like an adult.

Russo 4mo ago

Monero is not failing dude.

Bitcoin was the one that failed in be sovereign!

You'll have to do better than accusations, friend

You can see in the video where chainalysis looks up the ip address for the above-highlighted transaction. It is at timestamp 35:37---35:55 and they clearly show it belongs to a vpn

If I was dishonest about this, my dishonesty would show up quite clearly in the video. Just point to a part where I say X and the reality is not X.

Use tor + own node

It's our task to build secure environments for anybody. This might mean that wallets care not nearly enough. WalletOS that does one job might be necessary for most people that are no opsec pros.

Russo 4mo ago

That is the same to say the dude sell drugs to the undercovered cop and get caught.

Monero did his job, the dude was the one that failed

“But as we dont live in if's, we need to look what the reality is”

Posts a paper full of ifs.

“Monero was never traced”

Video posted of tracing monero.
