Quote from: scopolamine on March 24, 2012, 06:13 pmHi everyone,After making several successful sales here on SR, I withdrew my bitcoins into my PW encrypted and TOR proxied bitcoin wallet on my computer.I did some research on how to safely sell my bitcoins and then have the money somehow sent to me or deposited into my bank account.My plan is to first mix the entire sum I have in my wallet through Bitcoin Fog, then have it sent back into my wallet. Then I would transfer the bitcoins into a reliable virtual exchange service, signing up through my regular browser, using my real identity and getting the money either directly deposited into my bank account or sent by e-mail (or whatever other options they may have).Is this safe enough to not run into any trouble? If there is something wrong in my plan, or if any extra measures should be taken, please let me know.In any case, I would also be interested in hearing how you guys go about transferring your BTC into cash.Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!UPDATE:After doing some further reading on the virtual exchange service I was planning on using, it states that they require a "Pre-authorization debit (PAD)/billpay agreement and photo ID." in order to be able to withdraw funds.Is this standard practice, and is this safe? From what I have read, they are the best virtual exchange service offered in my Country/currency (CAD).Would I be better off using another service that does not have these kinds of prerequisites?Hi buddy,If you made the sales on SR and withdrew them to a proxied wallet of your own, you should bear in mind that they've already been through SR's own mixer but it certainly can't do any harm to run them through BitcoinFog.There are several sellers on SR offering cash in the mail in exchange for BTC (I run this service myself for people based in the UK) which along with receiving precious metals from websites like Coinabul is the safest method for cashing out in my humble opinion.Having said that provided the amount is small enough i.e less than your monthly salary, there is no reason you cannot wire it to your bank account - there may not be a way to link it to a specific transaction but if large sums keep on turning up in your account, your bank may flag it for further investigation. There is of course a difference between withdrawing funds in such a way it's not possible to prove how you obtained them and laundering them so that they appear legitimate. If you need help with laundering the proceeds, feel free to send me a message.V.
