Title: Complete anonymity and protection?
Post by: adamwashere06 on June 23, 2011, 10:01:10 AM
Say you did all mining, wallet access and possible pool access over tor. Then say you ran all the coins through http://bitcoinlaundry.com/. And also say maybe you did full disk encryption on your hard drive using at least AES-256.

What chinks would there be in this armor? Would this allow for almost complete anonymity and protection from any kind of governmental heat you may fall under for any reason?

To what purpose? You have to go back to the real world at some point, whether buying/selling Bitcoins, or ordering something from your drug dealer. The authorities are more likely to get you at that point than at any other.

Yes but you can choose whether that point is this financial year, or next financial year.

You don't exactly have to go back to the real world. What if you just wanted to run a site that would fall into a gray area legally or that you know would take a lot of fire from people. You could use tor and a webhost that accepted bitcoins.

Not worth the risk of legal recourse

There is no such thing as total anonymity, especially not in this day and age! The HD encryption is good but I wouldn't do it on any PC/Laptop you plan on taking via an Airport.

What is the purpose of this bitcoin laundry of which you speak?
