Tracking Bitcoin Users Activity Using Community Detection on a Network of Weak Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency attracting a lot of interest both from the general public and researchers. There is an ongoing debate on the question of users’ anonymity: while the Bitcoin protocol has been designed to ensure that the activity of individual users could not be tracked, some methods have been proposed to partially bypass this limitation. In this article, we show how the Bitcoin transaction network can be studied using complex networks analysis techniques, and in particular how community detection can be efficiently used to re-identify multiple addresses belonging to a same user.

Robot control system using SMR signals detection
One of the important issues in designing a brain-computer interface system is to select the type of mental activity to be imagined. In some of these systems, mental activity varies with user intent and action that must be controlled by the brain-computer system, and in a number of other signals, the received signals contain the same activity-related mental activity that should be performed by t...
متن کاملUser Categorization and Community Detection in Bitcoin Network
This project works on Bitcoin user categorization and community detection. A new user network generation method is presented to better contract user addresses. Users playing different roles are recognized with K-Means. Three different methods, K-Means, Node2Vector and Fiedler Vector Method are applied to analyze the network community structure. A major radiant community plus a minor community s...

متن کاملAnomaly Detection in Bitcoin Network Using Unsupervised Learning Methods
The problem of anomaly detection has been studied for a long time. In short, anomalies are abnormal or unlikely things. In financial networks, thieves and illegal activities are often anomalous in nature. Members of a network want to detect anomalies as soon as possible to prevent them from harming the network’s community and integrity. Many Machine Learning techniques have been proposed to dea...
