Title: Bitinstant.com Question: Should I be using Tor and Tormail?
Post by: painbow on September 02, 2012, 03:39 pm
I'm aware that you shouldn't be using Tor for BTC exchange sites like Mtgox because they could potentially flag you.

How about for Bitinstant.com?  There seems to be mix of opinions on it.

As far as I'm aware, buying BTC is not illegal but we don't want any traces BTC linking back to us if we're going to be transferring it to our SR account.

So, I guess it's probably safer using Tor and Tormail for bitinstant.com but I am curious if using Tor or Tormail for bitinstant.com could potentially FLAG you like it could on Mtgox.

Any thoughts?

i dont know if they flag u or not ,but thats how i get my BTC i've used them 4 or 5 times now and nothing has happend.. but you should deposite your coins into a wallet like instawallet.org first....(BUT COPY THE PAGE LINK THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO YOUR WALLET IF U LOOSE THE LINK YOUR MONEY WILL BE LOST FOREVER!!!!) then transfer the coins to your SR account!!! i know i didnt really answer your question but i hoped that could help!!

I always access bitinstant and instawallet though tor.

I always use a tormail address for bitinstant.
