Title: Should you change your SR btc address often?
Post by: aviator on July 11, 2012, 04:51 pm
I was looking through my account info nd I noticed that you could get a new btc address. I was thinking it would be a good idea to do this so you could remain anonymous through out all of your purchases. Let me know what you guys think about this.

Your address changes after every purchase already.

It should automatically change every-time you make a deposit, but I'd also recommend scrubbing your coins on the way in. I know of BitCoinFog which is public, there are also a few others. Using multiple wallets isn't really a good method for scrubbing your coins. You should obtain them as anonymously as possible, as well as scrub to be the most safe.

The fact SR keeps the addresses active presents a very large problem if the SR server is ever compromised, they can easily link BTC Address->UserName.
