Hey Ya'll,
I'm new here on the forums, and SR as well. I'm hoping to make my first purchase soon, but before I do I want to make sure I'm taking the necessary precautions. One aspect I'm trying to get a better grasp of is the Bitcoin part. If I were to buy BC's from Mt.Gox, and transfer into my SR account, what steps should I take to insure anonymity. Should I exit the tor browser when buying bitcons, or should I stay in?
Is it safe to directly transfer coins from Gox to Sr?
Any help is appreciated :)

I think it is against Mt. Gox rules to use Tor.
-
Would I have to be worried about my identity being discovered if I used my normal browser to transfer BC's to my SR wallet from Gox?
-
how would they know an sr bitcoin address belongs to sr?

@Meowflakes I have no idea! :o Do you have any experience with bitcoins?

It's against mtgox terms of service to access it through tor and/or public proxies.
There's a warning on the site that says if you access via tor, you're liable to being banned.
I don't use mtgox however, so I dunno if this has ever happened.
If your worried about a trail, just put your coins in an instawallet before sending it to SR.
But tbh, I fail to see how mtgox would be able to tell if a wallet address belongs to your SR account or not.
