I was looking into buying one but I wanna know how anonymous it is? I know bitcoins are anonymous obviously but let's say I buy one correct. Then from there I put in a secure area where I know others will use it. How secure will it be and anonymous? Just out of curiosity. Thanks

Well it depends on you Cheesy

You can buy a skyhook and anonymously place it anywhere in the city Tongue then it will be not really safe but for sure no one will know that it is yours Smiley

If you want to sell Bitcoins to other people with a Bitcoin machine you won't be anonymous as you need to pay taxes from those bitcoins which you sold Smiley

I don't understand what kind of anonymousity are you interested about?

People who will use your machine wont know your name Smiley (just because they bought some bitcoins).

But if your address from which bitcoins will be sent will be added anywhere to your company you will be easy to find.

I don't know what is your meaning, can you expand?

Basically I'll be setting it up on a campus where plenty of people use bitcoins. And I know most of them would be interested in buying bitcoins. So I was wondering if I set it up some place lets say like a library where numerous people go for studying ect. Can I be anonymous without them knowing that I'm selling them the bitcoins?

You can buy them, and send them to other addresses you own. For example, send it around 100 times. Nobody will know its you.
Addresses can be anonymous - it depends what you do with them.

Yes it is anonymous as long as they are not connecting their receiving address with their personal data.

To use a skyhook you need to scan a QR code with your wallet address, then just pay $$ (with your bills) and that's it ...

So as far as your Bitcoin Address is not connected with your ID you are anonymous (mostly... Smiley we can say .. someone can record your face with CCTV camera while using a Skyhook:).
