Is it secure to send btc from coinbase straight to the road?
I didnt this first time, i used bitcoinfog to be sure.

Not sure, myself. Interested in hearing the replies though. And thanks for the bitcoinfog name drop. I didn't know of it.

From what I've seen, you should be fine, although for ultimate stealth it's recommended to go through somewhere else first. Definitely remember to change your SR wallet location between deposits.

what do you mean about changing wallet location? do you mean to get a new address on the account page for the deposit?
if I understood well the concept of choosing BC for the transactions is because is really difficult to track down, isn't it? correct me if I am wrong please.
I have used coinbase because is really easy to linked to your bank account and the commission is really low (I really don't like to pay more for something it looks easy) 8)

Yes, change your BTC address on the account page. I change mine for every deposit.
If when you buy coins they can be linked to your real identity you should tumble them somehow before sending them to SR. Many use bitcoinfog or blockchain's shared send option.

but shouldn't be the address untraceable? 8)

It should be but I like to change mine so there aren't patterns of deposits going to the same address. Plus some time back there were problems with deposits that seemed to be somehow linked to people not changing their wallet address, this has most likely been fixed long ago but its just a habit I got into.
