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.

They say due to regulatory reasons so basically some people who are supported by men with guns want their cut and if they don't get it then they scare localbc away... |

I don't see how it's different from what bitcoin.de does (mediate deals between private individuals). Wether the individuals would have to register with the bafin (banking regulator) or have to pay taxes and which ones is up to those individuals in my view. |

At least according to BaFin. With bitcoin.de, every user is only a participant on a market (which is bitcoin.de) with regulated money flow (via SEPA). On Localbitcoins, every user is their own market with unregulate money flow (cash). Small semantic difference, HUGE MOTHERFUCKING LEGAL difference. |

Not to hijack this thread, but Mycelium for Android has a built-in trading function similar to LBTC. At least for cash deals. Possibly harder to regulate ;-)

Mycelium local trader still relies on centralized server infrastructure afaik. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

I have a question for localbitcoins or anyone who would know. Recently, I processed a withdrawl from localbitcoins. Here is the txid for it: https://blockchain.info/tx/3f63d57d8590aef8983052308661b40f926654f19ece48f0a6554c8c0e4bed83One of the receiving addresses is mine. Now if I am right, the transaction would process withdrawls to a lot of other people as well. So does localbitcoins charge a transaction fees from everyone separately? |

Great site had nothing but positive transactions there. Just use trusted sellers/buyers and avoid paypal and you should be fine.

I remember withdrawals from LocalBitcoins being pretty instantaneous. If they were batching them (combining multiple withdrawals together) then it would not be instantaneous (e.g., maybe one trx every 5 minutes). So does localbitcoins charge a transaction fees from everyone separately? The fees stated in the FAQ are reasonable (0.0001 to 0.0004 bitcoins). https://localbitcoins.com/fees |

The support response time is probably the best I've came across but the actual response didn't help me at all.

Why 5 minutes. If they throttle the payout to every 10s, they could still get some transactions at times while no or just one transaction at other times. For a business of that scale it would just make sense. I just did a transaction minutes ago and do not recall a huge delay. The transaction was exclusively made for me though. |

For a business of that scale it would just make sense. They already charge the user for the withdrawal. Therefore, it wouldn't be fair to the user to have to wait for delivery because the service wants to earn a little profit on the fees by batching them up. I doubt they'ld have more than one withdrawal per minute, but I don't know their volume levels so I could be wrong. I just did a transaction minutes ago and do not recall a huge delay. The transaction was exclusively made for me though. Same here ... my "send bitcoin" transaction had already hit the blockchain when I checked just a matter of seconds later. |

i use local bitcoins all the time to sell the coins i make from mining, i have a couple of trusted buyers that i only sell to,
best thing is to (if selling) find a buyer and stick to one or two of them, then youu can generate trust and a understanding between both parties, more than a casual one time transaction will be
