Title: Stuck Already (in Oz)
Post by: Tom Krishna on September 14, 2012, 03:21 pm
Sheesh! I thought I was reasonably smart but I can't seem to even get past first base - at least Anonymously, In Austalia...

I went to the public library to purchase Bitcoins via Cryptoxchange but failed to even get a Bitcoin Address (was that because I was in a library ((public))) ??

I've read guru's strategy but I guess it's for the U.S.

Any help from someone with experience? I think lack of cubensis is dulling my wits.

Mucho Arigato

Try spendbitcoins.com and follow the prompts. You will need a dodgy email and will have to go into the bank to make a deposit but this can be done with no name given. A public computer is the way to go...

Some bitcoin exchanges don't do well with public addresses... could be the problem.

Thanks for the reply - I forged ahead, tentatively and carefully ... I humbly admit I found my brain spinning after a while and needed a coffee break and a nap! But patience and persistence draws the prize.

I joined CryptoXchange.com (even though they said they would reject public pc usage) and I was in a library - no problems. And no cameras. Then used MrBitcoin by going into the bank and deposited $ no problem under a different name. No iD needed.

Next? Perhaps shift the coin through a few wallets (?) then use my own laptop to deposit to SR - the next mission to work out Tails or some other bootable live operating system that will work on my Mac.

I have to admit I find all this covert activity furtively fun.
Shame on me ;)

Stay Healthy

Thank You - I'm still a neophyte in this arena of Bits & Cloaks so I'm gonna check out different ways of playing the game; I'll check those two out ...

Aye - CryptoXchange denied me when using one of those shopping mall-insert-coin computers (bad place to go anyway) but no problem in a library...
