The real problem occurs when you want to buy something that costs X, and all the addresses you control have fewer than X coins. You have to join the coins from multiple addresses within the wallet, and this joining provides very strong evidence that the same user controls all these addresses. So if one address is known to belong to a particular user, we now know (more or less) that all addresses belong to that user. This joining means that even if you've been super careful to never link address A to you because you've done sketchy things with A, if at some point in the future (even distant future) you join A with another address that the someone CAN track, they now know you own A. |
