So I usually use either virwox or localbitcoins to get bitcoins. I feel the overall exchange rate on virwox is lower. On localbitcoins, I get better deals. But a few users of localbitcoins have been enforcing that they ask for a picture of your face along with an id like a school id etc. when you get bitcoins.
I was wondering if this was an absolutely dumb idea if I were to get bitcoins (which I would use for purely hedonistic purposes) and use clear ID of me to get it. And giving this info to someone who actually cares that this info would be used to illegal purposes
The intuitive kid in me says YES. This is dumb. Use virwox instead and don't take pointless risks
