Doh, I thought using Instawallet would add a layer of concealment. That said, I'm pretty nonchalant when in comes to my SR security. I normally just ping my  straight from my Intersango a/c into my SR a/c. Bad, bad BDF :-[The nature of the Bitcoin network is that if you can link the identity of a user to a particular Bitcoin address you can trace any funds they've sent or received from that particular wallet - this is true whether you move the coins through 2 or 200 wallets although splitting up the funds between several wallets can help add a layer of obfuscation.Bitcoin mixers if used properly hugely increase your privacy as your coins are swapped around with those of other users. Having said this if it's possible to prove you deposited a certain amount of BTC into Bitcoinfog for instance and then a few days later a similar amount leaves the "fog" then it still might be possible to trace the transaction - so make sure you use Bitcoinfog's settings to withdraw random amounts over longer periods of time. You can also run your coins more than once through a mixer to give you extra security. It'll cost you between 1 and 3% each time you do...Or of course you can just buy them with cash and save yourself the trouble! :-DV.
