Why would you call this a "mathematical" flaw? Your original post implied there was some algorithmic issue, when you're really just proposing dumping the exchange market -- which is a completely independent mechanism of trade.

This is ridiculous. The psuedoanonymity of bitcoin allows for laundering services which enhance your plausible deniability. You can't practically figure out "who is who" if I send a delayed transaction through a popular laundry service.



I buy and sell bitcoins for cash from people on craigslist. No identifying information is given. Guess its not the "only way."
