Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Now I feel a lot better about taking a hit by cancelling all my withdrawals at MTGox yesterday and converting it all to bitcoins which I promptly withdrew as well.

hmmm, link not working anymore...

and how's the $75 million lawsuit coming along?

Why does this article say $5 million when the other report said around $3 million?
Coinbase for selling BTCs
Fold for spending BTCs
PM me with any questions on these sites/apps!  http://www.montybitcoin.com


or Vircurex for trading alt cryptocurrencies like DOGEs
CoinNinja for exploring the blockchain.

Now this is what it is. Centralization will not stand when it comes to economic slavery. The bullies will eventually take hold of the supplies if everything is centralized. And also decentralization doesn't mean not united. It is the other way around. Smiley
