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.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

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....

Psst!!  Wanna make bitcoin unstoppable? Why the Only Real Way to Buy Bitcoins Is on the Streets. Avoid banks and centralized exchanges.   Buy/Sell coins locally.  Meet other bitcoiners and develop your network.   Try localbitcoins.com or find or start a buttonwood / satoshi square in your area.  Pass it on!
