Title: Best way to anonymously buy Bitcoin Post by: Rage on March 22, 2012, 03:17:12 AM I recently introduced someone to Bitcoin and they asked about buying it anonymously. I didn't really have an answer as I can't think of a way to do that effectively. Does anyone know the best (and most reliable) way to buy Bitcoin anonymously?

Try #bitcoin-otc on Freenode, using a moneypak. You can connect to Freenode using Tor with SASL, or through a VPN.Title: Re: Best way to anonymously buy Bitcoin Post by: Stephen Gornick on March 22, 2012, 03:58:04 AM Does anyone know the best (and most reliable) way to buy Bitcoin anonymously? You don't mention where you are located. One method is to send cash in the mail. http://www.get-bitcoin.com is one merchant that offers that type of exchange. Sending cash in the mail internationally though often has a lesser chance of making it to its intended destination. There is also the recommendation here to buy using cash via other methods: - http://mndrix.blogspot.com/2011/09/easily-anonymous-bitcoins.html There is also the ability to walk into a bank and deposit cash using BitInstant. In most instances, no identity is required. This less anonymous than the other options but probably is adequate. Title: Re: Best way to anonymously buy Bitcoin Post by: memvola on March 22, 2012, 04:43:26 AM Probably obvious, but selling stuff (including fiat money) through auction sites and mining are the two methods I get my anonymous coins. They go into a different wallet. ;)
If you are not looking for a huge amount, trading them with something tangible or a service, or cash by mail is easily doable. Title: Re: Best way to anonymously buy Bitcoin Post by: jago25_98 on March 23, 2012, 05:45:06 AM Invest USD in mining them is another one
