Title: Giving Dwolla/Mt.Gox fake ID
Post by: Stusi on June 09, 2012, 02:15 am
With dwolla requiring ID to deposit to Mt. Gox, i was wondering if it's a bad idea to just photoshop an ID with a new pic/number/DOB etc and do the same to a bill and send them in.  Are they checking the stuff in some database?  Is this gonna bring problems down the road?  I'm not happy about giving my ID to companies that have stated they will give up information to LE.  Are there any easy alternatives?  I can't do the bank deposit thing via bitinstant or some others.

If you are in the USA then just use bitinstant's Walmart deposit, and then you print out the information, anonymously walk into walmart and give their money center cash, then you have BTCs the same day. It's my new favorite way to get coins, people using moneypaks to do the exact same thing but paying 10% to vendors on SR.

Don't even try it. You don't want them sneaking up on you in the most unexpected moment, do you?

Mt. Gox seem to be going crazy at the moment demanding ID from people.

I wasn't aware of the Mt Gox thing. They do try to block you and then demand ID if you try to access them by Tor.
