All these ideas are a huge waste of time.. The reason SR does not want you to have buys with your vendor account is because if you had buys then other vendors have your address!!! That is the only reason. It has nothing to do with getting Btc to open your vending account. Though I agree with another poster that you are not ready to be a vendor...it does shock me that you couldn't figure out why SR says that. Also it is strange that you have not figured out that all you need to do is open another SR buyer account. Then send coins to that account. Then use that account and send with the option of sending Btc to another member your vending account the funds to pay for your vending account. But in truth you don't even need to do that, the people that posted in here all the things you need to do to "clean" the coins have no idea what they are talking about...Why in the world would it ever matter if you sent the coins into SR. No matter what btc address you use it can't be linked to your vending account. It basically can't even be traced to going to SR. And who in the world would be tracing it? People just love to say shit in here when they have NO CLUE. If you are really serious about being a vendor and you have questions..DO NOT ASK THE FORUMS!!! This is a perfect example how bad the answers are in here from people that are not vendors. Just send a vendor a message on Silk road and they will help you. Do not post questions in here and listen to people that have no idea what they are talking about.
