 | Your employer pays you 0.020 BTC. A few days later, your wallet uses that output to pay a shop. Your employer knows the output they sent. They can see when it is spent and inspect the new transaction’s outputs and amounts. The blockchain doesn’t label them “shop” and “change,” but output sizes, a round price in local currency or a known address can provide clues. A fresh address helps avoid address reuse, but the sender still knows the output they created. Moving the whole coin to another wallet may leave a direct one-input, one-output transaction. That shape alone doesn’t prove who owns the destination, but it doesn’t erase the trail. Combining the salary with a coin from another source in an ordinary transaction can give an observer a reason to associate both inputs. CoinJoin can make the path to later spending harder to follow; combining a resulting coin with an identifiable salary output afterward can create a new link. I wrote an illustrated article about what an employer can see and how different privacy tools address different parts of the problem: Disclosure: I’m an independent Bitcoin software developer focused on privacy. I contribute to Ginger Wallet, Wasabi Wallet and Bitcoin Core. [link] [comments] |
