Abstract

Crypto-currencies are nowadays widely known and used by more and more users, principally as a means of investment and payment, outside the restrict circle of technologists and computer scientists. However, as fiat money, they can also be used as a means for illegal activities, exploiting their pseudo-anonymity and easiness/speed in moving capitals. The aim of the suite of tools we propose in this paper is to better analyse and understand money flows in the Bitcoin block-chain, e.g., by clustering addresses, scraping them in the Web, identifying mixing services, and visualising all such information to forensic scientists.
