I know its "safer" to DIRECTLY transfer coins to SR via blue sky traders, but how many people do a direct deposit from bitinstant to their SR wallet?
What i mean is when you go to bitinstant, you put in you SR wallet instead of blockchain wallet for instance...
-
i rarely bother using an offline wallet as a tumble option, i just go from the coin provider to my sr wallet, then after i've finished shopping, deposit the leftovers to an offline wallet.
i've saved up about $150 so far doing that, just from leftover coins :) sweet! it's like your own bank account minus the lousy monthly fees (unless of course the bitcoin decides to take a dive)
i do change my sr wallet address after each deposit though, so each coin provider transaction is being sent to a new/different address.
-
If you buy from us, we can direct deposit form our SR account to yours. See the link in my sig.
Cheers

I do, US using BItInstant. I change my BTC address once a month or so. Pay cash. I have at least 6 different places I can use BitInstant in my town, I try to mix it up.

somewhat related question that I haven't found the answer to elsewhere--
anyone know if the built in SR tumbler randomizes transactions between SR accounts?
or does it only tumble them when you submit a payment?
-
yes treebeard, besides your coins being tumbled when you deposit, the transactions are also randomized, to answer your question. but it never hurts to tumble the coins as much as you want. i deposit straight to SR because i believe in their system.

thanks for the response, but I think I worded my last post a little unclearly
if I sent a payment just from my SR account to another SR member
(not as payment for a transaction, but outside of escrow)
would that payment be randomized before being deposited in the other SR account?
thanks again for getting back

Ah i see what your saying. just going on a whim here but i'm sure those sent btc would be tumbled also, but i dont really see it matters as how each btc is all shared between us all so to speak. we just have a set number on our account that you can spend, its not physically there. its just a big mountain of bitcoins that gets taken from and added to all the time. if you get what i'm saying. I guess it makes more sense to say once you buy btc and once it gets deposited and spent, its been tumbled enough times not to be able to get traced back to POS.

I do, change your wallet address everytime you deposit your coins.

Yea, I agree with this. Easy and simple to do. I definitely doesn't hurt to tumble though for extra security.

I'm new to SR, but I've changed my address twice, switching it each time I deposit with BitInstant, and using BitInstant to deposit directly into the new address. I have accounts now with Dwolla and Mt. Gox, so I could do it that way, but it's so much faster just to pay the fee and have the funds show up in a few hours instead of a few days.
-
stay away from mt. gox and dwolla. they require too much info and they're on the governments side

you can test this theory of tumbling from account to account by creating a dummy account.
the "withdraw" your coins to the new "dummy" account address.
then check the blockchain, follow the trail and see ( or do taint analysis ).
I have tried this method for "free" tumbling 3 or 4 times. mostly, it seems to work . Except this one time when the 2BTC got transferred AS IS, in full from one address ( main account ) to the other (dummy account ).
when one withdraws the coins to an address outside the SR system, the ALWAYS get tumbled. Within SR, this does not seem to be the case ( at least not consistently enough ).
I have checked this on the blockchain on at least 5 - 6 occassions.

I normally rave about bitinstant, but they really let me down today. I put about $90 in, and got verification emails from zipzap, but not bitinstant. When I got home and checked blockchain, nothing, so I chatted with bitinfo. They said they were having "technical problems" and mine would have to be done as a manual transfer. For that, I would have to wait one business day. I told them that the processing speed was the whole reason I used bitinstant, and for the wait I should at least have my fee refunded. He didn't agree.
-
Again, if its just for personal, just have your coins thrown directly into your SR account.
I have been it for over 2 months and no problem.
Just change your SR addy once a month and your shining.

i go straight from vender to sr

dude i did the same thing but i did 2 deposits and got the email from zip zap for both and i got a email for bitinstant for the smaller deposit and i go to coinapult them and it says 0!! i email them and they tell me the same to me they will have to do a maual transfer. but i still dont know why there was 0 coins avalible even if bitinstant emailed me for the one.. hope they dont fuck me on that one over 200 bucks

I mail cash to BTC vendor anonymously. He sends me coin 0% fee. I buy drugs on here with the BTC. I sell the drugs for cash. Rinse, repeat. Now I need to launder some shit and I'll be a bawse.
that is indeed the kush setup. where did you find the cash-in-mail BTC exchanger?

Built a relationship with a solid online drug vendor.

Appreciate info....Thanks
