When you guys use a site like this,which means going into the bank to make a deposit,do you
provide your SR deposit link to the site(eg spendbitcoins) or do you link it to a separate wallet
then move it into SR,
iv been using just my SR wallet and by changing the address after every deposit i think it should be the same
any of you guys do the same?
-
I generally get it sent to a personal address first. This way, I can tell whether or not there is an issue with SR or my bitcoin service if my coins do not show up at some point.
-
Its easy enough to dl a desktop wallet which you can pass the funds through. Although i dont think theres anyway the exchange can tell its a SR address
-
yeah thats what i was worried about them linking it to my SR address, but i guess if you change it all the time it wont matter
-
Bitcoin addresses are completely anonymous, hence the reason for bitcoin. You can use your SR wallet address with no issues, nobody is even going to attempt to trace a bitcoin address, its pointless.
-
bitcopia.com -> anonymous bank deposit -> instawallet -> SR
SR tumbles the coins on the way in regardless, so there's not much to be worried about.

need 50 posts ffs!
-
I always use an Instawallet first just in-case there's an error with Silk Road.
-
Pass them through a couple of instawallets first, or use bitcoinfog - fogcore5n3ov3tui.onion

I am way more paranoid. I think the new NSA data center will be able to process all the internet traffic ten times over and mine the data how ever they want. I move my coins through the tumbler at blockchain, then through the tumbler at bitcoin fog. It costs some money, but it's worth it to me.
I also wonder if the people out there who do not practice safe SR put all of us in jeopardy, sort of like not getting vaccinated. Their equipment can be seized, they can be compelled to name folks, etc. Best to make all that as difficult as possible with end-to-end encryption and multiple wallets.
Just me.
