How To Anonymize Crypto Transactions - And Buy Crypto Without ID!

in #crypto7 years ago (edited)

                  

There is a common misconception that Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are anonymous. But actually apart from Monero (XMR) and a couple of other examples this is not the case. This leads to many want to know how to buy bitcoins without identification. The top five ways currently are LocalBitcoins, Mycelium Local Trader, WallofCoins, LibertyX, and Paxful. Here's where each service is available, how much they charge, and how to use them.

        

Some people desire privacy... others don't. If you're in the former group, here are three ways you can mix various cryptocurrencies (with varying degrees of effort and cost) to keep your finances to yourself!

Is It Safe To Show Your Wallet Address Online?

A last and very important point is: what do you risk by displaying your crypto wallet address online in a post or comment etc. Well by so doing, any hacker or technically minded person can find out the the amount held in that address, and where it was sent, creating a traceable trail to any other addresses that you may or may not own. This can be mitigated using mixing services, such as CoinJoin. Or create a spare wallet whose address you can share that is just for the purposes of receiving such payments from unknown contributors.

nice post.hello I'm new in Steemit. i m going to follow you

Hello pkalmik,

HUGE welcome to Steemit! Thank you very much for your upvote and support :D

I definitely need to do some mixing as some of my addresses have been compromised by effing Bittrex.

What happened was I had some private funds on Bittrex using a dummy email and no verification. I was able to withdraw up to 1 BTC per day. So my wife goes into labor, we have twins, we have issues at the hospital, basically my attention is completely elsewhere for about 3 weeks.

Finally things settle down just a bit and I remember I have funds on Bittrex. So I check and they changed the withdrawal on unverified accounts to 0.025 BTC per day or something like that. No email notification or anything. So either I have to verify or spend like a month and a half doing tiny withdrawals and occuring a bunch of fees. So I verified.

One more reason not to leave funds on exchanges. 😕

Hi canadianrenegade,
Wow ... congratulations on the twins!
Sorry to hear of your troubles with Bittrex. Definitely best to be fully verified with such organisations.

all the best to you and your family :D

Some great ideas there. Thanks for sharing!

Hi David,
Thank you very much indeed, I hope this helps a great deal of people with their crypto security!

keep well
