has anyone else found that trying to buy bitcoins anonymously has become increaslingly an effort. you have to give phone numbers & they always call you for some problems. i bought some today & had 3 phone calls from the supplier before they put the coins through. its definitely not like the old days.
Nzer here, Local Bitcoins hasn't been a problem for me. They ask for a ID and a Phone number - why don't you get a fake ID and a burner phone. Not that hard and fixes your issue.
The only reason for the increased measures is related to LE coming after them/shutting them down. If you are going to use the DNM for the long term invest in a second personality.
