First post and its a question covered many, many, many time before....

Advice? sorry if it seems a little cold but GIYF... (Google is your friend)

On another note though WTF is going on with the vendors vanishing? I think there are 2 left in weed and 3 or so in meth.. 2 are new!!

Anyway I just searched Omnicoins and got a thread that may be of interest to you..

Hey umexcuseme
I was about to use omnicoin today and I was put off by one small detail. The require you to send a scan or photo of your deposit slip after you've made your deposit. If you have a way of anonymously uploading and sending files then you should be ok. I haven't figured out a way to do this and I can't risk my anonymity.

I've used www.spendbitcoins.com a couple of times and they haven't let me down. They charge 10% on top of their rates so they're not as cheap but they are quick and discreet. They don't require a copy of your deposit slip unless the bitcoins don't make it to your wallet which has never happened to me.

Both sites require an email address but that's easily overcome by using an anonymous email service (there's plenty of options if you google).

Good luck.

hey vousetici. thanks for your reply. i was thinking the same thing about emailing a photo of the deposit slip, its a bit tricky to get around. Maybe create a tormail account and upload the photo to that then send it to another email address, like gmail or yahoo, which you set up and access through a public computer at an internet cafe and send them the photo from there. There could be a simpler way. This whole thing is doing my head in actually. I cant even encrypt my address because I cant get gpgtools working on my mac.
I'll have a look at www.spendbitcoins.com and see how I go.

I can definitely vouch for spendbitcoins.com, have used them many times without any problems.

Yeah, a public computer might be the way to go.

But then again, all the sellers with photos of their goods must have uploaded the images anonymously. Need to do some investigating.

I used spendbitcoins again with no problems. If only they were better value for money but I suppose you pay for a good service.
