Quote from: Doc Gonzo on August 09, 2012, 07:41 amThis is, I'm sure, a noob question and if it's been covered before, my apologies and please direct me to the relevant post(s). The country where I live isn't as advanced as the US, UK or Oz and so there's not the sort of infrasrtucture available to anonymize bicoins by thru bininstant cash deposits and such.. Or if there is, I'm not aware of it - if someone knows of something similar in Europe I'd be interested to hear about it. Anyway that's not the main question - the main question is this: if I fund a perfectly open and unanonymous MtGox account from my own personal bank account and then send those bitcoins through a variety of different instawallets and torwallets using different amounts and tumbling and make this all several layers deep, is it really, that insecure. Obviously the most secure is to be able to anonymize the initial purchase and I know I could do that thru Vladimir (sp?) but if the instawallets are really anonymous and the tumblers really work then I would have thought using 10-20 instawallers would provide sufficient anonymity to be able to sleep at night.Hi Doc!The exchanges can be used to tumble coins but a detailed analysis of the block chain could still trace the original purchase of coins back to you - please see this thread for a more detailed explanation as to why this is:http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=25163.0I'm always happy to deal with European customers and accept Euros at no extra cost to you.
