Title: Your Old SR BTC Backup address - A security issue ?
Post by: anonhelper on October 04, 2013, 08:48 pm
Law Enforcement has the bitcoin address you set up as your backup address on the Silkroad server, associated with you account. Since they could find this address in your bitcoin wallet if they come search your house, computer's... and associate you with this account ?

My guess is, with 10,000+ users (my best guess) they will try other means to find ways to locate people.  Besides, how will they cross-reference the BTC address with an actual person or physical address? 

It would prove as evidence IF they did storm your house, but my guess is they have enough info by then to make their case.
