N2 - The Bitcoin system (https://bitcoin.org) is a pseudo- anony- mous currency that can dissociate a user from any real-world identity. In that context, a successful breach of the virtual and physical divide represents a significant flaw in the Bit-coin system [1]. In this project we demonstrate how to glean information about the real-world users behind Bitcoin trans- actions. We analyze publicly available data about the cryp- tocurrency. In particular, we focus on determining informa- tion about a Bitcoin user's physical location by examining that user's spending habits.
