Do you guys buy your bitcoins into a wallet then transfer them to SR or just buy them directly to your SR account? and also, anyone in Australia, where/how do you get your bitcoins?
-
wallet first. you can then use a tumbler/mixer for extra anonymity like bitcoin fog.
-
It's best to keep them in a wallet outside of SR until you want to spend them. Be sure to encrypt any wallet you use, AND DON'T FORGET YOUR WALLET PASSWORD. Because I did that once and there is nothing you can do to get your money back. But an unencrypted wallet isn't all that safe.
-
Are all wallets alright to use or are there any you should avoid?
-
And how do you encrypt a wallet?
-
i wasn't aware you could encrypt a wallet! if you want an online one then blockchain.info is ok. i have no experience with offline ones.
-
If in Aus a good site with cash drops at the bank is bitinnovate.com. Very quick turn around, anonymous and a cheaper commision than spendbitcoins. And as for wallet using blockchain.info is easy but as previously said before take them through a tumbler or use blockchains own tumbler
-
i have used bitfloor (BOA cash deposit) and gone straight to sr wallet for immediate use.
i have used the vendor CoinXchange for a good amount of coins as well, he works with ReloadIt cards.
and the last ppl i used was Blue Sky traders http://ok2yri46aaptiu2d.onion.to/index.htm (cash deposit at BOA) also.

Thanks everyone, does anyone know how you find out who or why youve got karma?
-
karma's anonymous, just means someone likes(or dislikes) you or what you had to say but you can't tell which post.

Thanks everyone, does anyone know how you find out who or why youve got karma?
Not possible that I know of. I also forgot the password to my first wallet. Luckily only .01 BTC
-
Write that shit down!
-
Thanks again. Block chain appears to be down, is that temporary or permanent?
-
most likely will be back up again soon. :)
-
The "Armory" Wallet is quite legit, as it has an offline USB option as well.
-
Does the armory wallet have a tumblr/way to send coins to silk road without a trace?
