I think the more interesting guide would be how to buy Bitcoins anonymously.

  Absolutely. I was investigating this last week. Most articles have suffered bit rot where nearly all linked sites that once allowed non-verified accounts now require verification.

  After what I found the best ways to do this is to a) find someone who sells it directly (cash <--> Bitcoin) or b) buy it de-annonymized and use a bitcoin tumbler for obfuscation.
  • runeks 10y ago
    For solving a) I recommend Localbitcoins.com. I've used it a couple of times without issues.

    > use a bitcoin tumbler for obfuscation. Not a worthwhile amount of obfuscation (almost none), and it provides evidence of nefarious intent.

      Desire for privacy isn't evidence of nefarious intent any more than exercising your right to remain silent is evidence of guilt.

        Well, I'm not a lawyer so maybe I said it wrong but if you keep coded notes, etc, I've heard it makes it much easier to prove intent.
