Title: Safety of my methods
Post by: derft33 on August 02, 2011, 11:28 pm
Hey everyone...I read a user guide to Silk Road that showed how to transfer bitcoins from Mt Gox to mybitcoin in order to ensure anonymity.  It looks like mybitcoin is now down.  Do you have any reccomendations for a new bitcoin mixer?  I plan on only ordering 4.5 bitcoins worth of ecstasy pills from g4bb3r.  For an amount this small, should I even worry?  Should I just transfer my botcoins from mt gox to sr?  Thanks for any advice.

Also, my bank account is linked to the dwolla account that I used to purchase the bitcoins at mt gox

Many people just go from Mt. Gox to SR's "built-in" E-wallet, since that's just what it is, a personal bitcoin e-wallet tumbler. Especially if you're just doing a one-time purchase, I wouldn't worry about first transferring it to a personal e-wallet.

No
You should be OK so if you have done it like this it is no reason to worry.  I think you should mix and transfer a lot just in case. The idea is to trust no one, not even Silk Road if you can help it.

instawallet.org is a good ewallett from what I've heard. You can easily use a new wallet for every transaction, or inbetween tumbles etc.

Bank > Dwolla > Mt. Gox or TradeHill > your own wallet on YOUR PC > SR.

Download and install Bitcoin on your PC and use it as an extra measure of protection. Run it through TOR. TOR will warn you it may be leaking DNS info but I have been told as long as you don't manually add blocks to the BTC chain it won't leak.

Just be sure to back up your wallet.dat file when you get the BTC in your wallet.

So, basically then, you guys would also frown on Ebay btc purchase > SR Wallet? Lolololol
