Title: The Bitcoin Foundry - bitcoin anonymizing service
Post by: bitfoundry on February 25, 2013, 01:07 am
The Bitcoin Foundry would like to introduce itself as a new bitcoin anonymizer.  For a limited time, the foundry is offering its services with only a 1% fee.  There are two services offered:
1) Forge Bitcoins: Deposit bitcoins to The Fondry, credit is given to your account, and unique forged coins become available for withdrawal.  To support the network, The Foundry pays transaction fees along the way. Anonymize your bitcoins before a purchase and/or after a transaction!
2) Purchase Wallets: These wallets are previously created and in cold storage; wallet.dat available for direct download.  This premium service is priced at an 8% markup.  Anonymize your receipt of bitcoins by exchanging them with The Foundry for wallets with bitcoin transactions from the past!

Visit and use this service at foundrylsjtf4rxs.onion
Make sure to read the TERMS OF USE for specific service information.

just some thoughts / questions...

Why are you calling it "forging"? The coins are real coins, just from a different source. "forging" makes it sound bad.

How does somebody buying a "cold storage" wallet know that you don't keep a copy of private keys?

Also, it's not really "cold storage" if I can download the wallet from you... cold storage means the wallet is behind an air gap.

Do you randomize the amounts and timings in withdraws, like Bitcoin Fog does?

Also... do you have a reputation from any other services you've built, or am I just throwing my coins and hoping for the best?


I realize it's kinda harsh questions on a new service, but there is a big motivation for LE to run mixers and use them to track down people who use bitcoin to launder money, soo...... just my curiosity speaking up.

You're advertising a service, but you don't have a vendor account here.  Either get one, or do not advertise here.
