Title: is it possible for someone outside SR to send me BTC directlyon my SR account ?
Post by: chil on August 06, 2011, 02:31 pm
Is it ?

Or would it be best for him & myself to send them in my wallet and then I transfer these on my SR account ?

Thanks for helping !

From my understanding, only an SR user can send directly to another SR user.  For outside sources you can only use the deposit function.

I would have them go to your own wallet (then send it to a second wallet you own, to muddle the transfer) then to SR via deposit.

The more BTC accounts between the original transfer and SR the harder it is to track.

That's my understanding, and how I prefer to do it.  Most threads I have read say pretty much the same thing, don't transfer directly to SR from any account you have that is linked to a real id.

Hopefully an admin will jump in with the definitive answer.

Definitive answer (not an admin)
You could give them your SR deposit address and depositing to it would fund your account, but best practice, in my opinion, is to bounce it though somewhere.

Before giving them your SR BC address (if you choose to) click on Account, then get new address.  Give them that address.  Before you use it again, generate a new address again.
