I have always wondered when I see charts like this that add a column for bitcoin accepted. I would much rather pay with a prepaid gift card / visa which can be purchased with cash. If I even wanted to pay with bitcoin I have no idea how I could get a balance and remain anonymous.
- Veratyr 11y agoThere are plenty of privacy laundering services for Bitcoin. This is the first one that came up in Google: https://bitmixer.io/ https://bitmixer.io/ They're called "mixers".
- Jarwain 11y agoHelix is also a solid and reliable mixer, with the downside that it requires TOR to access
- mirimir 11y agoThe best mixer is Bitcoin Fog: http://foggeddriztrcar2.onion/ http://foggeddriztrcar2.onion/
- getoffmylaw 11y agono!! There have been many MANY reports of bitcoin fog selectively scamming and it would be wise to use another option. Bitblender, sigant, and helix should be much safer options.
- mirimir 11y agoThat's all bullshit. Edit: Consider the Sheep Market thief. They didn't steal his Bitcoin, even though the transaction was so large that it crashed their service. Edit: It seems likely that victims of the Sheep Market theft are behind at least some of the lies about Bitcoin Fog.
- Freak_NL 11y agoThis thread highlights exactly why using Bitcoin for this purpose is tricky for outsiders. Buying a gift card with cash is a process I can understand, but with Bitcoin the amount of knowledge needed to get started safely and anonymously is quite large, and there seems to be a lot of conflicting information going about.
