For details of PGP etiquette please see : http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=1048Quote2. Bitcoins. I have yet to find a reliable and safe way to get them into my SR wallet. Services like Mt. Gox require a legitimate bank account... Should I buy from them, send coins through multiple wallets (possibly Bitcoin Fog?) and THEN into SR? It all seems very sketch to me... :oIf you do use an exchange then you should definitely use Bitcoinfog. You are right in saying this isn't safe by any means. I run a service selling Bitcoins to people in the UK and Europe in exchange for cash in the mail. If you live in the US the vendor BlueSkyTraders can sell you them for MoneyPaks which is a quick and reliable method.In a nutshell the ONLY ways to obtain Bitcoins safely are buying them with cash or selling products/services for them. Please feel free to ask around!Quote3. Also regarding Bitcoins. If I decide to start selling things here, how do I safely get the bitcoins OUT of my SR wallet and back into real currency? It seems to me that the dangerous parts are the entry and exit points, as this is where people usually get pinched... Once you're in the system, you're generally safe.That is the question! For large amounts you would need to hire a consultant. Fortunately one of our moderators Limetless works in banking as I do and has experience with this sort of thing. You're absolutely right in saying that the most dangerous points in tbe Bitcoin blockchain are the entry and exit points which is why if you obtain Bitcoins through sales/cash then your original purchase cannot be readily traced.There are vendors (myself included) who can send you cash in the mail in exchange for Bitcoins. There's also the website CoinaBul which sells you precious metals like gold bullion in exchange for BTC.Any more questions please let me know.V.
