transportation, wear a hat, and all sorts of secret agent type tricks to try and conceal

your identity. Wear a wig if you are super paranoid.

3. Use a Bitcoin ATM

Currently there is only one ATM in the world that I am aware of, and it is located in

Canada. If you do not live in Canada, then this does not help you. Luckily

according to an article, the company who is rolling out these ATMs called

Robocoin is launching ATMs in other countries as well coming soon.

“The first shipping bitcoin ATM, Robocoin, is landing in Hong Kong and Taiwan

as the company expands its reach this January. They are planning further releases

in Europe, Canada, and the US but, given Asia’s clout in the BTC markets, this is

definitely an interesting development.”

There will likely be some way to try and cut down on money laundering by getting

you to verify your identification, but from what I understand, they currently only

do this if you are selling Bitcoins for cash using the ATM, and not buying them for

cash. The way that it works, is you choose the amount of BTC you want to buy, and

you feed your cash into the ATM machine. You can at that point either print out a

generated paper wallet, or choose a wallet of your own to send the Bitcoins to. This

method may be another good way because it takes dealing with another human out

of the transaction. Something you may need to be aware of is surveillance cameras,

so maybe wear a hood, hat, wig, sunglasses, and so forth to disguise yourself if you

are worried about your identity.

4. Craigslist

Believe it or not, there are a decent amount of people on Craigslist that you can

meet up with in person and buy Bitcoins off of with cash. Your local area may not

have a large number of listings, but you can always search in other nearby

metropolitan areas and make a day trip out of it if you want. The same

considerations about protecting your identity apply here as above.

5. Mine your own Bitcoins

I am not going to get into how to mine Bitcoins, or whether or not you should, but

if you want to get Bitcoins without dealing with other people, this is one of the

ways you can do it. Run your miners over Tor, stay anonymous and you will have

yourself some untainted Bitcoins.

Okay, so now you have yourself some Bitcoins, how can you get them to somebody else
