Title: Buying BTC with MOneyPak on SR
Post by: theonetheonlyandy on June 01, 2012, 04:59 pm
i know there are loads of vendors that exchange MP for BTC. but my question is arent any of you concerned that that MP# can be linked to you by going to the store and buying it?

No, unless you're worried about store's cameras. But honestly, that's a longshot. I'm more worried about scammers on SR who might rip people off.

less you know something I don't about the MP to BTC exchange, I'd just advise others to use Privnote.com to hide any information, but honestly SR offers the same service through its delete after seeing type shit.

To be safe don't post any "sensitive" info in the chat / message areas.

Remember too, that getting BTC doesn't make you guilty of any crime.

yea i know having or buying coin is not a crime, but since there are some vendors on the SR that are making the exchange, and  it just maybe me being very very very paranoid here, can be LE and is able to track you down? im guessing its a very long shot. and since they are already making the exchanges and they know its being used on SR see what i mean. but i was high when i thought this up so maybe thats it but cant never be to careful. i use different methods every single time to get my coin. so no biggie. i suggest some do that same. been  a year buying coin only for the road and every time i use a different method to get the coin.

oh you so paranoid, lol no but i get you don't worry. I think to get bitcoins by MP is the safest out of all the other methods in my opinion.

Yeah, I'll have to agree with darthvaderstar on this one...MP may be the safest way to get the BTC's, although most of these "anonymous" methods involve some risk of getting your face on camera (convenience store to buy a MP or a bank to deposit cash). 

The fees to get BTC's via MP are competitive with other methods and the transfer to your SR wallet is quick.  I used Coinbox for my first transaction and the coins were in my account within 30 seconds...BAM! 

Just use your brain and vary the MP purchases from time to time, and everything should be fine...well, as long as BTC's are still legal that is....

I've bought heaps of MoneyPaks, and I go through a vendor who gives me the coins with no rate.  8)
It makes me nervous sometimes, but so far, so good!

If you buy it with cash, how would they link it to you?  Reviewing the security camera and trying to ID you from the video?  Unless your name is El Chapo Guzman, I don't think LE is going to put in nearly that kind of effort to bust you for buying drugs with a MP.
