Title: Bitinstant direct to Silkroad Bitcoin Addess
Post by: redpieman on August 14, 2012, 04:23 pm
Is there anything wrong with having your bitcoins deposited directly to the bitcoin address associated with your silkroad account? I plan on making a cash deposit anonymously with a fake name at wal-mart.

Currently, I'm using bitinstant to acquire BTCs. I use their major bank cash deposit to BTC address. I use a new tormail account on every new deposit/transaction with trustcash and bitinstant. I have read that some have had their BTCs intercepted with using the same tormail address over and over again.

Once I have the deposit conformation email from trustcash & bitinstant I use 'block chain info', http://blockchain.info/,  to check the status of the exchange/transfer to SR. Just paste your BTC address om the 'search' portion part of the page. I use a separate SR account & BTC address just for deposits. Once the 'block chain' status page shows 5 or more conformations the depsit will be complete. Then I log onto SR using my deposit only account then transfer only the BTCs I need to my ordering account by using just my account name no BTC address.

Recently I have been thinking of using 'block chain info's' own BTC wallet to make the first jump, i.e. from bitinstant/trustcash, then send from BTC wallet to SR.

Just a couple of days ago they have added a feature for mixing and sending BTCs. More info here::. http://blockchain.info/wallet/send-anonymously

They go into great detail about BTC transaction identity through their description of block chain tainting.

I think I'm going to use their mixer & anonymous sending of BTCs. I'll update.
I hope this is helpful.
peace
