I have to send money to someone using BitCoin and I want to remain fully anonymous to the recipient and to the public.
I have read a little about this subject and I've read that all transactions are public. So my questions are:
1. What information can be known to (1) the recipient, and to (2) the public?
2. I do not want my real name, address, email or phone number known to anyone (recipient and the public).
I am fine with anyone knowing the amount of the transaction.
So how can I stay as anonymous as possible? I want to jump through as little hoops as possible.
none of that info is visible to the public, when you send a transaction all that is visible on the blockchain is the address you sent coins to, the addresses of the output of the coins sent, and the amount sent. no personal information is ever required to transact coins.
