In good standing with one of the biggest btc sellers on lbc. Direct deals, no escrow, straight from his/her wallet to the market. Saves a lot of time going from lbc to electrum to market, but does it compromise opsec? They have my phone number. Generate a new wallet adress everytime of course. Like I said they are huge so they have a lot of transactions going.. What does the community think about this?
If you're gonna do it, get a cheap $10 pre-paid phone from Wal-Greens or something, activate it, and let your LBC seller know that's your new number and he'll probably overwrite your existing number on his contact list instead of making a separate entry. At that point, you're actually safer to have him send the BTC directly to the markets because in the very unlikely scenario where LE bothers to follow the blockchain, it'll lead to the seller and your pre-paid phone would have been disposed long ago as soon as the market got seized.
But from the ethics aspect, it's questionable at best.
