Most bitcoin users interact with a service to buy or sell the virtual currency. These days, most of those services want to know exactly who they're dealing with, especially as regulators around the world take an increasing interest in bitcoin.

Hey Bernard, do you have any thoughts on how one could obtain a card !00% anonymously from you?

In other words, if one doesn't wish to provide you their name or physical address.

The only thing I can think of right now is a P.O. box, but even they typically require some form of ID.  Another option would be to ship it to a trusted friend.  I believe that post office general delivery would require an ID to pickup.

The shipping address issue applies to a lot of things of course, not just the card.  I'm interested in suggestions from anyone....

I would send it to a mail box not in use.
