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.
