Hi guys, sorry if this is a really stupid question by why does SR use only bitcoin? I know it's supposedly more anonymous but most ways of getting it seem to need ID/bank transfer?! I'm a member of other clearnet forums and have always used LR. Is bitcoin THAT much more anonymous?
Also, how's it best to change LR to bitcoin? What do you guys recommend for this? Am excited about using the road for the first time!! :D
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place or a duplicate - complete noob :-[ - just working my way round the forum!

I have never used LR but i believe you can use AurumXchange to fund MT.Gox and then purchase bitcoins!

Thanks Luvs2Trip i'll have a look at it!

I like that SR uses bitcoin largely because of the hoops you have to jump through to use it.
It weeds out the casual buyers and keeps the community more serious.
