Post by: smokeweed420 on July 02, 2012, 09:32 am
hi, i have been here a while but up until now i have only gotten bitcoins through moneypack vendors. but im sick of the fees and am using bitinstant. my question is: do i just send the bitcoins to my address here on SR? (where it says under the account section : to deposit bitcoins, send them to this address) do i just copy and paste this address to where i have my coins sent to. i just want to make sure im gonna get the coins i pay for lol. thanks guys.

You can do that if you want.

Some people prefer to send it to their own desktop wallet address (using the bitcoin software) first, and then on to SR. Personally this seems a bit suspicious to me, if blockchain analysis were to be happening.. You could spot activity like this a mile away.

As long as the address isn't identifiable as an SR address (and there's no way they could do that without insider info anyway), you'd be fine. So yes you'll be fine
