Ima crossposting this because I don't think the implications of it are being realized, or else it's not being read enough. Probably both. Anyway:SubTopic: This shows you how to anonymously use Bitcoins.--Your problem is now to disassociate yourself from the bitcoins you have purchased. You've kinda screwed up you see unless you did what I mentioned in 'Future Reference' below. Now you must do some work to cover your tracks. Read everything carefully.--For future reference:Ideally you should have remained anonymous right from the onset before your purchased anything. You would have to buy the bitcoins with a cash deposit at a bank *and* access the (mtgox) exchange website through a private proxy in your region of the world. You would have been using Tor to access that proxy which accesses the exchange clearnet site. I appreciate that sounds wildly complicated, but it's actually quite simple once you know how. Not only will it save you money, but it is many many times more secure. It's also less complex than what you need to do now unless you sell your coins and start over.--Your work today:--Since you've already bought B$ through clearnet at mtgox, you should send them to an instawallet (a one time address service offered by some B$ services online). Bookmark the instawallet URL otherwise you'll lose your money. Do not use Tor with instawallet or mtgox at this stage, that would be a red flag leading directly to you, you are assuming that both instawallet and mtgox relay all information to law enforcement and using Tor is bad news bears because mtgox will likely request a positive ID of you to release the funds citing AML requirements.Use Tor to find a Bitcoin laundering service, search our forums to find a reliable one. They will give you an address to send to. Don't send anything to it just yet (and note that it would take roughly a day for a mix to operate, so don't panic if it takes time, it's not instantaneous).Go to instawallet through clearnet and forward the coins to a Bitcoin wallet on your own computer (you need to download some bitcoin wallet software for this, you also need to torify your bitcoin wallet and download the block chain (will take a couple of hours), read this document: http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Tor). Now it appears that you've paid somebody in a different country Bitcoins because your Bitcoin wallet is torified.Ok, now you have an option. For more security, you can use a mix (the bitcoin laundering service I mentioned, it will cost you money), or you go proceed directly to sending bitcoin from your wallet to a new instawallet which you've accessed via Tor. Then from instawallet to the SR address you have.I suggest you first do this with a small amount of bitcoin to ensure this all makes sense and then you can be confident enough to do it again. At each stage you should be using a different Bitcoin address, never use the same one twice because that creates a loop, indicating that it is highly likely that any transactions in the loop are authorized by the same person.Yes, you could just link your mtgox a/c to your SR account. But if you read in the newspaper that the Silk Road got busted, then you're going to feel rather queasy and wish you'd followed the above instructions.If all of this sounds like too much of a headache (albeit it would be hugely educational), then just sell the bitcoins, retrieve your money and start again. If you aren't confident enough, that would be best.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Condensed Iteration of everything above the line:--Here's the tldr; version where instructions are separated from advice:Future Activity:Cash deposit at bank to an exchange -> Use Tor to access private proxy* in your country -> communicate through that proxy to the exchange -> convert cash to bitcoins -> open an online wallet service -> send bitcoins to that service -> optionally put those bitcoins through a mix -> send bitcoins to your SR wallet.--If you already have bitcoins connected to your identity. e.g. used a credit card to buy, transferred from your bank account to exchange etc.--Go onto Tor and download bitcoin wallet software -> Printscreen http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Tor instructions -> Turn off interweb -> Install and torify your bitcoin wallet software -> Turn on interweb and download the block chain to torified bitcoin wallet, now you are ready to proceed -> On clearnet, access your exchange account with the bitcoins -> Make an instawallet/online bitcoin wallet provider account through clearnet -> transfer bitcoins from exchange to instawallet -> transfer from instawallet to your torified bitcoin wallet -> Open new instawallet with Tor -> transfer from torified bitcoin wallet to instawallet on Tor -> Optionally transfer to a bitcoin mixing service -> wait a couple of hours/days -> transfer from mixing service or online wallet to SR.Advice:1. Don't have your clearnet browser and Tor browser open at the same time.2. Never use a Bitcoin address more than once.3. Search forum for bitcoin mixing services and online bitcoin wallet providers.4. If you think you see flaws, you point them out. The only stupid question is one never asked.5. Although the above procedures might make you more paranoid, you should really sleep a whole lot sounder since every service you've used from the exchange to the Silk Road itself could be compromised and it wouldn't matter a whole lot.6. Clearnet means being on the normal web and you're not using Tor software. Darknet is the opposite.7. To torify something means that its internet traffic is being routed though the Tor network.8. Don't access exchange websites with Tor, period. Unless you're doing what I described above9. Don't access any website with Tor e.g. your instawallet, and then access the same web address/URL using Tor. Now instawallet knows who you are if you do.10. Under no circumstances, none, forward bitcoins from A to B and then put the bitcoins back into a wallet you used earlier. This is circumstantial evidence that all bitcoin activity in that loop belongs to a single entity.11. The larger the quantities being transacted, the more you want to be thinking about ferrying varying amounts of bitcoin over time with different Tor identities. I believe there is bitcoin software that can do this for you, future scheduled deposits that is, and your Tor software periodically changes identity anyway.* It's like the Home Cooking Channel! Here's one we made earlier!
