Localbitcoins Identity

I have been using the dark web for a while now, succesful with buying bitcoins from localbitcoins.

Now, most of the sellers, require some kind of phone verification, name, etc. to validate the account and to make transactions with them.

up until now, I have used tor with all fake names and information.

However, with it becoming harder to find sellers with good prices that don't require identity verification, I was wondering if it was safe for verify my account.

if not safe, what is the alternative? is there another more anonymous bitcoin marketplace?

There are so many ways to buy bitcoins anonymously that I don't understand why you would EVER want to doxx yourself while doing it.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know that it is' not illegal to buy bitcoins. But show me someone in their 20s or 30s who is buying a few hundred in bitcoins every pay day and I'll show you someone who watches their mail very carefully.

Believe me the exchanges and the banks and the government knows exactly what's going on. They aren't stupid.

my personal experience, I verified my LocalBitcoins with my I.D. and I was buying 2k in btc every week no issues, its prolly not good OPSEC but personally I never had any issues, doesn't mean its completely safe for u.

You didn't mention what kind of trades you want to do. Are you talking about online payments, cash deposits at banks, cash-by-mail, cash in-person trades, or what?

find someone solid who does off exchange direct deals. the rates are better and no ID required.
