POLL – Anonymity: What’s it worth to you?

[Lucky Cris]

Trust is a key factor in the decision making process of sending coins. I understand why anonymity is important - And I support this attribute 100%.  But my question to you all is this:

IF you were able to find out the identity of someone who uses an address… would that increase your confidence level in sending to it?

Well it depends. Is this address to be verified that they actually live there? Easy to rent a place out for a week or whatever, commit frauds which have items and coins sent to this address, then they take off. Of course, I would feel more confident dealing with somebody who I knew several real-world details about, but some people prefer their anonymity, so I respect that too. It's all about assessing the risk and trying to cover your back. You can never be 100% safe. I've also seen people scammed recently where the scammers sent their IDs and "proof" of their addresses etc.

My answer to the poll is yes, it increases my confidence, but not 100%.
