>a) I dislike giving so much information up... How do you ever make a credit card transaction online without giving up your name and address? That's pretty much standard every time fiat currency changes hands on the internet.

I don't like giving up my address. I know they do still need my name. I am not trying to be untraceable, I am just against everyone collecting information about me. I don't think they usually confirm my billing address(haven't bought anything in a while where I don't need shipping address anyway) Also, I am using virtual credit card + debit with credit card possibilities. EDIT: My bank does not require confirmation on my home address. I have random numbers and address there.

  Interesting. The know-your-customer rules in the PATRIOT Act pretty much require that banks verify home addressees now. Were you grandfathered or something?

    Mentioned before, living outside US. In a small country in EU. I can't also sign up to mt gox because they don't accept my proofs.

> How do you ever make a credit card transaction online without giving up your name and address? And this is one of the many things wrong with credit card transactions. A seller shouldn't need my address; it needs my money. In the Netherlands we have a system called iDEAL, where, when you want to pay for a product online, you get redirected to a page of your bank and confirm the transaction. All the seller gets is a confirmation you paid (and of course a wad of cash in his account) - no private information shared. Unless you're having a product delivered. But even those can be delivered to a pickup station nearby nowadays.

  As a seller I'm willing to give up information about you if you're willing to give up the ability to charge back your money.
