BlockBusters: Combining the Dark Web and Bitcoin
The Dark Web and Bitcoin are both digital systems that the average person has little understanding of. Yet both of these platforms have very real impacts on the world and can affect people without their knowledge. The Dark Web is a new digital black market that uses Bitcoin as its primary currency. Both of these are considered anonymous, yet they can be combined. Similar features could then be used, matching Bitcoin and Dark web users. Our team cleaned and parsed the two data sets, combining them in one location and exploring the information they contain to start the deanonymization process.
