Title: Need some calification
Post by: GreatWhiteShark on August 14, 2012, 09:52 pm
im new to this whole thing. i have been doing hours of reading and still have questions.
what is the purpose of bit instant? they charge you a 4% fee. do people use this only because it offers anonymous payment for bitcoins?
it offers sending money to mt gox, email, etc. what is the best method and why? has anyone ever had trouble depositing cash into banks (asking for id?) or is it straight forward like any deposit? does bitinstant sell bitcoins or do they only send payment for bitcoins?

say i send bitcoin to a tormail or mt gox...i sign up for instalwallet and have the coins routed through there? after that i use a service to wash the bitcoin (whats their name again?) which also charge a percentage for that? then send them to SR? how do i exactly transfer them to my SR account?

i proabbly have mroe questions buts thats all i got off the top of my head.

also: should i use tor for all steps except for mt gox site if i do choose that direction?
would payment at a 7-11 be preferable over a bank? how does that work? do all 7-11 accept these payments?
