Hello SR travellers,
I just have a few questions about BTC and anonymous purchasing. I have some good IRL sources for drugs such as bulk Ketamine, MDMA, Speed etc but I don't have any source for bulk LSD, Cocaine (this is all related to bulk buying/selling btw).
1) Regarding BTC anonymity is the only TRUE way to remain anonymous with regards to coin tracing to remain internal within SR? I.e. I sell MDMA/Ketamine/Speed off on one SR seller account, transfer the coins internally to another SR buyers account and buy my bulk Cocaine/LSD to sell IRL again, use the extra cash to buy more MDMA/Ketamine/Speed stock and repeat the process all over again? Effectively I see this is an unbreakable loop (obviously apart from the fact i'm getting drugs shipped to my house, but we're all in the same boat with this one.)
2) I see this plan saving a lot of hassle with mixers/fees/and BTC purchasing which can sometimes be a headache (especially in large amounts). Also it eliminates the hardest step of all of getting your BTC out of SR and into hard cash without a trace. Can anyone see a hole in this plan?
3) To my knowledge the only two TRUE ways of purchasing BTC anonymously are cash in the mail via a trade site like localbitcoins.com or anonymously through a BTC cash in the mail vendor on here (the most anonymous and preferred option). If you want to get real paranoid, the localbitcoins.com option isn't completely anonymous as you have to access the site via clearnet, using a valid email address making you traceable. Also you may have to meet up in person with said vendor for large transfer amounts like I am talking about. Regarding the second option, this isn't any use to me at the time of writing as there are NO cash SR vendors offering consistent and large amounts in my area (or any that I trust) so this is out.
4) Last question, if I buy a SR seller account (not sure how much this is, 40 BTC?) is this a one off charge, and will I be charged for leaving the account stagnant for a few weeks? Also, does SR JUST charge me 10% per sale I make?
I look forward to hearing your replies!

Hey blagga19,
Seems like you've thought this through. 1 and 2 look pretty solid to me, although the people you sell to IRL are the weak points in your chain. I think you already know that though. I have a similar scheme that I've been toying with for a while, and the reliance on the IRL contacts is what is holding me back (or making me hold back). The best thing I can think of so far is a cash-in-the-mail and dead drop arrangement, but I digress.
3 is a local/regional thing, can't help you there unfortunately.
I think the answer to 4 is that seller fees are one off, although they changed in the order of 300% without notice so it could change any time.
