Hello everyone!
I'm planning to make my first order on SR, small quantity for personal use and do not expect to make many more transactions here... (we'll see how that goes)
I'm curious if you guys think it's worth the trouble to make the transaction 'completely anonymous' as some of the other users have described. Would I be okay to transfer money from my bank account to Dwolla (<400 bucks) and use this to fund an exchange of bitcoins on Mt.Gox? I would use disposable emails and TOR for all transactions.
I've read that the danger here is really for sellers or frequent/high-volume buyers, but there seems to be a lot of hubbub about taking precautions like Liberte, using a public computer, depositing cash at the bank, etc... what do you think?
Thanks in advance for the advice!

dont use tor to access your acct on mt gox or else they will lock you out and require identity verification
I just recommend using bitinstant cash deposit to fund mt gox and then send to instawallets or a mixer
you could also use get-bitcoin.com but they are kinda sketch sometimes with the speediness and exchange rate charged
i would avoid using your bank acct and dwolla because they require a bunch of verification as well as being crazy slow
good luck, its worth the hassle
