You need to read before you start.   I read up for like 3 months before I even posted, let alone ordered something.

Wallet... you already have a wallet in your SR account

Escrow is automatic, you don't need to do anything.

Bitcoins... go to localbitcoins.com

Surf around the forum and read... go to bitcoin exchanges and read.

You need to buy bitcoins from a external service like localbitcoins  etc try google search buy bitcoin in country  then you need to send the btc to sr then you can buy

Please read the buyers guide and the wiki in full before making a purchase

I read that transferring your BTC straight from wherever you buy them to SR is really sketchy/suspicious?
True/False?

If you bought them anonymously, you can send them direct.

If not, run them through bitcoinfog

okay lets say i buy them off localbitcoins.com; am i able to buy with a prepaid visa? so that way its annoymous and cannot link back to me... ALso lets say after purchasing them they go to my multibit wallet; and then from there i transfer them from my bitcoin wallet to my SR wallet. does it keep track of where i transferred the bitcoins too? wouldn't want to get any negative attention that way..

Why bother with a prepaid visa when you can just walk into a bank and drop off the money?... or just meet someone?  Not sure any sellers there would take visa.

Why transfer your coin to your multibit?... just go straight to SR.

Yes, It's one way... it's up to you to decide what's best.   If you're in Africa, maybe localbitcoins isn't so good.  But right now in the US, yeah... many here will recommend it.  Look around, you'll see I'm not the only guy using it.

I mean you can use CampBx and send them a money order... or use ?  There all many avenues.

Even if you bought them using your real info just use a tumbler service and voila no one knows who you are. That coupled with SR's tumbler makes it difficult to trace back

For my first bitcoin purchase I used localbitcoins, met in person exchanged cash and deposited straight into my SR account, pretty sure it doesn't get more anonymous than it. If anything I imagine the bitcoins I'm using trace back to the seller (if even possible).

same here.  my guy took 5%  deposited to my block chain wallet   what was wierd was when I looked at block chain  a total of 10% was gone. no almost 13%  I was like ... Yo dude...  he fired back yo dude I transfer at Mt Gox I can't control what block chain is doing..    I checked he was correct sucks for me.. start with 1600  guy selling me the coins transferred $1510 in coins from Mt Gox that ends up as 1390!!   $200 poof just like that...

well on the flip side, if btc price had went the other way then you'd have more.
