Title: Changing SR bitcoin address
Post by: Thizzed410 on December 23, 2012, 02:20 am
Is it a good idea to change your SR bitcoin address after every deposit?  Does it even matter?

I always change mine prior to sending coins. I have seen threads in the past that stated the older an address the longer to get coins.I have never had any issues

Doesn't matter much. Doesn't hurt at all.

Long answer is that it provides another layer of anonymity. By using multiple addresses, linking a real-life identity to a single address is more difficult. But if you do use the same address, it's still extremely difficult to make that link. So either way is secure, one a little more than the other.

HI,

This doesn't have anything to do with what you were are asking. I was just wondering if  you would be willing to try to explain to me step by step how to deposit money to a biticoins, and also about the key thing?  thanks

Im not going to tell you exactly how I do it but there are dozens of ways to obtain bitcoins and dozens of ways on top of that to add extra security to your methods depending on how paranoid you are.  You can start here though.
