Title: US gov. Meddling with btc exchangers
Post by: ripplingwalls on July 22, 2013, 09:45 pm
recently its been such a bitch to get btcs. My usual two traders I go to are down and out at the moment because of the government fucking with exchangers. Ive been hearing a lotta talk on the forums bout LocalBitcoin, but I dont fully trust it. So, to the people of the sr community that have used LB to get coins I have a couple questions; First, if I were to use LB would it be advisable to send the trader/vendor that will exchange my $$$ for btc my sr wallet address? Call me paranoid but it just doesnt seem like a good idea. Could I maybe make a btc wallet somewhere outside sr? And then use a btc laundering service like bitlaunder? so I can erase the trail my exchange leaves behind?... Any and all info is greatly appreciated, since it seems my usual vendors/traders wont be coming back any time soon so I gotta prepare for the worst and look for alternatives. Again thanks sr community

EDIT: would it be a good idea to give vendors/traders on LB my sr wallet address, I mean is this what other people on sr do? Someone with some experience with this subject, fill me in please. Thanks

The real question here is if you provided a SR BTC address, would anyone be able to identify that the address is to SR? Or is the randomness of address's all it takes. It seems if BTC can be tracked like that they would know where the location of the SR servers are or something like that.

I am about to complete a large transaction with Local BTC. I'll post if it works out.

Also, can anyone shed light on what exactly the US Government is doing to block up BTC exchange?

localbitcoins.com provides you with a wallet when you buy coins they go straight to that wallet, you then move them yourself to where you want.
