Quote from: masterblaster on July 20, 2012, 04:05 amI've been trying to wrap my head around the intermediate services and techniques people use to get their fiat into SR. Take an exchanger like bitinstant, you deposit cash into their account at a bank or convenience store. At this point all you've done is buy bitcoins, and all anyone knows about you is your image. You can deposit directly into your SR wallet, or run it through a bazillion other services that will all take their cut and add considerably to the complexity and wait. Now your SR wallet doesnt have a big label on it that says "im a SR wallet, im used to buy illegal goods", its just a wallet like any other, and because SR uses a tumbler for purchases then there's no way to trace the money in that wallet to the sellers account should he ever get busted. So why then all the extra steps? You've never revealed your ip to bitinstant or any other service, theres nothing that connects you to anything thats going on, and unless your seller is a cop...well, it wouldnt matter how many services you ran it through, all they would need to do is show footage of you depositing enough cash at the bank to cover whatever you bought from them. Correct me if in wrong here, but if there's nothing linking your SR wallet to SR, then theres no reason to obfuscate it.Please see my answer to this here : http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=25163.0V.
