Quote from: 4l| on May 23, 2012, 07:51 pmI've noticed a couple of SR vendors doing this, exchanging their surplus bitcoins for cash sent in the mail. Maybe I'm not thinking this through, but how can this possibly be safe? Even if they have a box registered to a fake ID, it still seems like an excellent way to get a bunch of cash confiscated, reveal their location within 20-30 miles and possibly end up on CCTV. If I were an LEO here, all I would have to do is express interest in sending over some cash, and bang, I have the address. Anybody care to enlighten me, or is this as bad as it seems security-wise?Hello my friend, just saw your thread!As you'll see from my link below I offer a service selling Bitcoins in exchange for cash in the mail for people in the UK/Europe.You're correct in saying this would be a bad idea for person already selling contraband from their seller account to do. Even if they were to set up a new account, the passage of coins from their account to the new seller account could be traced if they didn't use a mixer. They'd also not be able to trade off the goodwill they'd already built up using drugs.How then can I do it safely? Firstly I only sell legal products/services. It's not illegal to buy or sell Bitcoins.I do worry sometimes that some disgruntled buyer would post the current mailing address I happen to be using for the cash here on the forums but I hope they won't for the same reason I think none of the sellers - it would undermine trust in the site overall so we'd all lose out!What I can say about the service I offer is that the cash is sent to a private address with a secure mailbox and is banked immediately on receipt. It's not illegal to send currency within the UK and LEO would have a hard time making a case to confiscate the amounts in question. The methods used to bank the money are also done in such a way that they can't be traced back to the depositor but please forgive me if I don't go into details!Certainly as it says on the SR site itself if you have previously bought goods by mail you should create a new account in order to become a vendor.Your concern, is very much appreciated incidentally! :-)V.
