Europol has issued a new report on Internet crime in which it outlined a number of scenarios involving bitcoin.
Called the Internet Organised Crime Threat Assessment (iOCTA), the report examines the use of bitcoin on various dark web sites, by organised crime and individual actors, and calls digital currencies an enabler for cryber-criminals and a challenge for law enforcement.
However, it makes a clear distinction between bitcoin and digital currencies designed with true anonymity in mind, like darkcoin, warning:
We feel it should concern everyone that the latest cyber currencies are intended to be truly anonymous and to facilitate anonymous transactions. We face a situation where law enforcement may be completely unable to trace even very large criminal transactions.
BUMP
This is a key point for failing the sucesss of DRK coin. The only question is at which point of time will the western world police stop DRK. Its the most thing they are scared about - A anon cash they can't control with their central banks. They will do the same with DRK as they did with gold and silver. They manipulate the markets to scare people and mainstream media will do their work to blame DRK.
Evan as core developer who created DRK is a public person, nothing easier to stop him.
I am behind the DRK project because i think free people need a free money that cant be controled by anyone.
Not to do any crime related things, only to be sure i have privacy, nothing more, nothing less.
But this wish is not realistic in a world with modern slaves. We are nothing more than slaves without wearing chains.
Do yo have a link to the report ?
(Darkcoin mentioned by name on pages 34 and 41).
OMG - Darkcoin directly named side by side on Bitcoin. Thats not good. Users are directly named as criminals.
That shows the real potential of Darkcoin. The most crypto community is too stupid to recognice that.
They are only after a short profit, nothing more.
The report shows in a few quick words that the darkcoin system is decentraliced with a p2p network.
Conclusion - they can't shut it down with switching of some servers and i will be a real danger.
Not for use by criminals but for our fiat money system, the central banks and the wall street.
I do not have a good feeling - we are fighting for freedom but we will be named and blamed as criminals.
evan, maybe if you read this, can you leave a comment on how do you think about that.
It's good to fight for freedom but what will the price be ?
your name could soon be in the media into the footsteps of snowden
