1) In layman, non-geek speak, someone please explain (beyond the site's description) just exactly what IS that list of transactions? That's not ALL/EVERY BTC transaction in existence is it? If so, what does that mean to anonymity of purchased BTC on say, Ebay versus Tradehill or other such site?
2) Noticed account now does not populate a NEW payment address after you state what you're going to add in BTC. Instead, gives stable payment address (though will change after received coin). Does this mean any difference in privacy/security?
Gracias

I checked out the site myself...how possibly can every BTC transaction be centralized like that? Unless it's similar to how wire transfers in the banking system work? They're just anonymous? Anyhoo, so I click on the archived "largest" transactions, and there were like 3 or 4 from a few days ago, each for about 3M each. Now, wtf would be trading at 3M each? That's a lotta keys.
