Title: Bitcoins
Post by: Strangiato on May 25, 2013, 07:07 am
First post here. I haven't yet bought any bitcoins and I plan to use bitinstant but all of the talk about block chains slightly worries me since I don't completely understand them. Can someone trace my bitcoins through the block chain and once I have them in my wallet what should I do with them before sending them to the SR. I don't want to use anything that will take a fee.

Someone who is more experience might jump in, but from what I've heard and read if you use a coin mixer you're basically untraceable (if I'm wrong, please correct me for my own sake). SR has a coin mixer built in, but you can also used the shared send function (https://blockchain.info/wallet/send-shared) on blockchain.info to do the same thing for a small fee.

Personally, I've just sent it like so: source -> wallet -> blockhain.info shared send -> SR

I haven't had any issues, but I've been buying pretty low amounts of blotter based products, so I'm pretty safe in terms of postal detection.
