How do I best buy and transfer Bitcoin from MtGox and transfer it to SR? I've heard MtGox freezes if you try to make a direct transfer.
Sorry if I sound stupid but this is all completely new to me and my first time trying to make a purchase on SR.

Thank you for your reply but do I really need to go through bitinstant to buy from MtGox? Can't I just go direct to Mtgox? I have no idea how to use or make a wallet :-(
I await greater wisdom :-)

Whatever you decide to do you need to buy the Bitcoins from Mt.Gox, Bitinstant or another exchange service. These then need to deposited into a wallet like blockchain.info. Remember to stay in your Tor browser. From there I would send them straight to SR. If you bought the coins on Mt.Gox I would strongly suggest sending them through a washer like bitcoinfog.com before sending them to SR. This hopefully means your transaction log will be untraceable.
The reason NOTspacecase recommended Bitinstant was because you can make it anonymous by making a MoneyGram transfer. Unless you use a washer then the Bitcoin chain can be tracked back to you if you were ever investigated. By using Bitinstant you eliminate that risk and get the Bitcoins into your account faster.

Brilliant reply ... Thank you for clearing that up ... So buy through bitinstant for safety and the transfer to wallet and straight to SR with no washing. Now I just have to figure out that wallet thing ... LOL 8)
By the time the police got to me I'd prolly be strung out 'to help them' with their investigations anyway ... Think I'd claim the Tooth Fairy left it :P
