I have been using the Bitcoin Fog tumbler service until recently. I generally have had a positive experience but, the last time, my payment was delayed for several days. I am not the only complainant about their tardy service.
I have been looking at several threads on DNM and am wondering whether a tumbler service is actually needed.
One idea seems to be to convert BTC into LTC and then back again (unless the site directly accepts LTC). As I understand it, the use of a different currency, negates the possibility of tracing the BTC on the blockchain. Is this correct?
How would you hide the source of your BTC? Let's assume that you have purchased them through a mainstream provider with a bank transfer. What would you now do to hide their provenance prior to making your purchases?
Sidenote: I also wonder how easy it is to link a BTC address to the provider e.g Blockchain.info, Coinbase, BTC-E, Vicurex, and suchlike. Is there a simple way to achieve this? I suspect not but would like confirmation.
Many thanks for your input.
