Hey guys

Noob here. I just got the basics about bitcoin and have some questions that are very important to me.

1. Is using blockchain.info to make payments truly anonymous or can everything be tracked back to you.

2. Is the blockchain.info account locked to ip or country that was used to register the first time. If I use a VPN for example, will it flag and lock me out for using different ips.

3. Can one use VPN and Tor together to access blockchain.info - I read on reddit that blockchain.info wouldnt allow Tor.

Views from people who have used blockchain.info is much appreciated. Many thanks

If you are really worried about anonymity, using a third party service is rarely a good idea.

As far as Tor goes, you can try logging in and seeing if it works. You can definitely pull up their home page via Tor.

One thing to check is to make sure you don't store a large number of coins on a third party wallet and that you have backups of the private keys.

Tor Browsers isn't that anonymous as you think.

If you haven't written your name anywhere online it can't be tracked to you. However your IP can be traced when u are going to buy webhosting and a domain name. Many people get found this way, but u can cover urself with whois guard and some other tools.
