I am looking for a website similar to localbitcoins or something that doesn't have crazy ID requirements. Localbitcoins has gotten silly and they are asking for crazy stuff. I remember years ago it never used to be like that. So now I am looking for an alternative. I just want to be able to send a bank transfer to somebody or to a company, and then receive some bitcoins. Without having to stand on one leg, jump in the air with a written piece of paper stating I authorise the payment while balancing my ID on my head.

I came accross this article https://news.bitcoin.com/dont-trust-bitcoin-mixers-and-other-opsec-lessons-from-the-darknet/?omhide=true&utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Coin+360+Provides+Color-Based+Crypto+Market+Data&utm_campaign=email-May+7%2C+2019+Daily+Newsletter

Not sure if this info is already known or not but I am interested in hearing peoples opinion on the claims that bitcoin mixers are no longer safe. It lists a few specifics ones there. The main questions are

1. If this article is true, are there any mixers that work differently than the ones mentioned in this article?

2. Would using 2 mixers help? For example sending the coins to a wallet using a mixer, then sending the coins somewhere else again using a different mixer to another wallet.  So if one mixer is compromised, at lest you have the other to fall back on.

3. Article states blockcahin analysis  was used to track the bitcoins. Therefore making mixing completely useless since software and tools can now defeat them.

A money exchange is a place like Currencyfair which store your money like a wallet. Then allow you to convert it to different currencies and send it to other bank accounts. They dont support cryptocurrencies though and bitcoin exchanges dont like money transfer services. So the only way is for me to send payment to a normal bank account and do a trade.


How does an Escrow payment work with this? Is there a third party site that I would send the payment to?

Hi. I am looking for a bitcoin exchange which works with the Faster Payments scheme in the UK, which requires an account number and sort code. I noticed most bitcoin exchanges only accept SEPA transfers instead. Does anybody know any bitcoin exchanges which allow GBP deposits using account number and sort code?

Hi. I am looking to buy Bitcoins. My money is stored in a money exchange service so I can transfer the funds to any currency and to any bank account. I am not sure the best way on doing this, is there some kind of escrow system that can be used so nobody gets scammed?

If anybody is interested please let me know.
