I'm hesitant to involve coinbase since they've cut off gambling transactions. I agree that an exchange is better for me, i just don't know enough about this to trust a person to person exchange (even if that person has high reviews)
There are members that u wont have any problem trading with them.
We could suggest you some of them if u want.
Regards!
Any recommendations are appreciated. I'm looking to buy $1K USD worth if that matters...
Have you looked into circle.com? That'll be cheaper and a whole load less sketchier than handing over money on here.
It's been said that Coinbase is tracking transactions a couple of transfers down the line. I've no idea where they find the time for that but it might be true.
Instead of mixing you could also send your coins from coinbase to another exchange and then withdraw.
