Title: New,Please Help is it safe to deposit bitcoins direct into my Silk Road wallet?
Post by: amazing777 on August 05, 2012, 03:34 am
Because i have  read about Anonymizing bitcoins sending it through mines and laundering, which seems like a long process?

Can i keep putting money in my Silk Road wallet "safely" from a third party bitcoin provider? without anyone tracing me

It could be safe, I dunno because I send them through other things first. At least send them to something like InstaWallet first.

Nah, it's run by the DEA.

All kidding aside, it's just a personal Bitcoin wallet that allows you to anonymously hold your coins. Send them there, and then send them to your SR address. Or you can further tumble them if you feel it necessary. But it always helps to add an extra layer of obscurity to the Bitcoin trail!

can i pls ask a question???

ive had my wallet open for a few days syncing to the block chain as i wanted to purchase some bitcoins today but its taking days to sync and is not doing anything...seems to be not making any progress...
it has stayed at catching up......downloaded 189743 blocks of transaction history....last recieved block was generated 25 days ago.....

i was also wondering if i should send my bitcoins directly to my SR address instead of my wallet address or should i use a different wallet or something?  not sure what to do, this is only my second time making a purchase. the first time it took a week to do the whole process and to have the coins into my sr wallet, does the process take everyone else that long or am i doing something wrong????

Instawallet is great, just dont lose the URLs they give you.

In all due honesty you probably dont need to worry about direct deposit.  Any furthur transactions you make are sent through the SR tumbler.  But if you're paranoid like most of us (me included) follow the above suggestions.
