Title: bitcoins to SR anonymously
Post by: soundbite on November 22, 2012, 09:12 pm
Another newb with bitcoin worries, I know. The good news is that I have the bitcoins - I'm lucky enough to have a cash/no ID to bitcoins exchange. My question is about other parts of the transfer.

First of all, I couldn't access my preferred ewallet service with TOR, so that was clearnet (from home, not a cafe). The bitcoins are there now. Have I effectively de-anonymized those bitcoins or am I good? How many steps should I now put between my ewallet and SR? Do I need to involve a laundry?

My thinking was that since I got the bitcoins without ID, I shouldn't need a laundry. I would transfer to one intermediate ewallet (are there reliable TOR-based ones?) and then to SR and then delete the original ewallet.

Is that a decent plan or am I being insufficiently paranoid?
