I'd like your opinion on the method I plan to use to fund my account.Deposit at bank for Bitcoininstant.com > Mt Gox > Bitcoin fog > Silk Road. -Cherry ShakeHi Cherryshake,As far as I know this is the best method for buyers in the US to go via the exchange but I'd suggest you take a look at some of the Bitcoin traders on SR before making your decision -BlueSkyTraders for instance sell BTC in exchange for MoneyPaks which you can buy anonymously. You should bear in mind that even if it's not possible to prove you used Bitcoins for a specific transaction, you can do without anyone knowing you bought them in the first place! :-)V.
