OpenTracker – simplistic, lightweight PHP bittorrent tracker

I just remembered that I used to run a simplistic and lightweight php bittorrent tracker out from my webserver, the tracker slowly attracts users until it used up all the allocated web server bandwidth.

This is a pure tracker with no statistic or control panel, just drop it in the web directory, create the required mysql db connection and schema and you’re good to go. You only need to include the tracker “announce” url in the newly created bittorrent file and start seeding!

Bitcoin spending and transaction can be traceable

It seems that Bitcoin is only designed to eliminate the need for centralized issuer and central authority, but not anonymity, which is a common misconception among internet users as according to one of its developers (Jeff Garzik), transaction is recorded in public log and although the identity of the parties involved can’t be directly identified, the transaction can be easily traced and linked to other accounts through data mining and statistical analysis.

So it is harder to stay anonymous in transactions that involve large currency value.
