Hey NOSTR, I’m on the hunt for a new all around laptop… shill me your favorite hardware and OS for said hardware… I know there will be some good takes on here.
#asknostr
I have been thinking about getting either the System 76 Lemur or a Framework 13 Pro. I want to a repairable laptop that uses type C for charging and these two fit that. I'll probably run Omarchy since my wife is currently using it on her old HP laptop. It does take awhile to get use to the tiling windows in Omarchy.

Most definitely, in the end chain surveillance is just a tool in the LE toolbox. Scanning the blockchain gives them relevant metadata that they use to aid investigations. A public blockchain by itself...
I was originally just looking for court cases or arrest records where the main or only evidence was chain analysis. I know people have been charged with murder with only DNA being used as evidence. But, all the above information has been really useful to know too. I'll give that link a read, thank you.

It was the closest one I have found so far. All the other major cases had a lot more evidence on them.

The difference with XMR is that there is no effective chain surveillance to follow the money. You can use KYC'd Monero to commit a crime or send stolen Monero to a centralized exchange and pretty much...
That make since to me. I think the issue if your going to end up in jail or not is opsec. It doesn't really seem to matter if your using btc or xmr or Swiss francs. I have heard people parrot that chain analysis is going to get you locked up and I just wanted to see if there is any proof to that claim. Just from the major cases that I have googled, law enforcement had a bunch of other evidence and the chain analysis was just the icing on top of the cake.

I believe I found one thanks to @Ape Mithrandir.
Roman Sterlingov of Bitcoin Fog best fits what I was asking.
If you know of any other cases where the primary evidenced used to arrest and convict an individual or team was chain analysis please let me know. Almost all the other cases I have seen have been sloppy opsec and not chain analysis. Chain analysis was used as supporting evidence but recycled user names, emails, ip address, buying Lambos, and selling to a KYC exchange was the primary evidenced used to convict.

nostr:nprofile1qqsxtxn57m8mclp993vdjdzjh8v4wh3kc3j25e2yccm4yf7fze4xakgheuaax you flagged the exposure yourself in the second paragraph. spending a kyc utxo and a non kyc utxo together in one transacti...
I was just wondering if that has lead to an arrest of someone. I do think I have found one. Roman Stenlingov of Bitcoin Fog.

If they can trace you down and catch you with a device that holds keys to illegal funds yes… they don’t need the kyc for that… has something like that happened yet… I’m not exactly sure if t...
I think I found one that kinda fits what I was asking. Roman Sterlingov of Bitcoin Fog. The primary piece of evidence used against him was chain analysis.

KYC is over from the start. The UTXO is doxxed upon purchase. The rest comes down to clean opsec. Which we all know is easier said than done. It always only takes 1 little slip up for things to be ove...
I 100% agree. I wasn't saying we all need to do KYC or anything like that. I'm all for nonKYC and good opsec I was just wondering if anyone has ever been arrested with the only evidence against them was chain analysis.

Well it matters because bitcoin is an open public ledger… Fiat is an open ledger to those how have "legal access" and can be used the same way… that being said it is possible to wash both…
And ...
So from my understanding, what leads to arrest is just poor opsec and not the coin an individual chooses to use. I just googled people that have been arrested while using xmr and it all comes back to the same reason they would have been arrested for using BTC.

All they have to do is follow chain movements till it hits a kyc’d source… generally if it’s not an exchange it’s going to be a honeypot or sting… track down a pi address and it pretty much ...
That's what I mean so it doesn't matter if they used Bitcoin or not, that person was already on the radar for something, made a mistake in there opsec that lead to an arrest, then chain analysis was used as additional evidence against them.

Yes, if you’re high enough profile of a target they will catch you…
But from everything I have seen it's normally through some other means. Not through chain analysis. I am still researching this topic so if you got an example let me know.

I would say anything that is KYC’d you should most definitely be expected to be tracked. If you do something that may be against the law with KYC’d coins, they can always come after you.
There ar...
I understand that on chain is fully trackable. I was just wondering if anyone has been arrested anywhere that did everything right just through chain analysis that didn't cash out through an exchange. I have seen examples that people have doxxed themselves through other means that lead to chain analysis putting the pieces together.
