Title: Sent bitcoin order reciept through Yahoo mail - what to do?
Post by: superkababi102 on February 22, 2012, 03:44 am
Hello all,  I am still rather new at this although I am learning fast. Today I sent a picture of my deposit receipt to GetBitcoin.com from a tormail account, but only after I had transferred the picture through a Yahoo account that can easily be traced to me.  I deleted any remnants of the picture from my Yahoo account, but I'm worried Yahoo might still be keeping records.  Is this something to be worried about? What should I do?

Thanks!

You'll be okay.

So? Buying Bitcoins isn't illegal, you'll be just fine.  I'd still suggest to be more careful next time if that's your ordinary surface web email, but no harm's really done.

Blind your bitcoins' transaction log by using a mixing service and they will no longer be linkable to you.
