No, that doesn't seem possible. But that's not really different for any other payment method either. And even if we could get payments without risking accepting stolen property, I don't think we should. When choosing between unwittingly accepting tainted money and forcing people to give up their complete financial privacy, I find the first option the least morally repugnant one.

Given this news about BGP hijacking used to mine hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars worth of bitcoins per year, as a practical matter concerning donations, is there any way to accept bitcoin payments without risking accepting stolen property?
