    Circle shuts me down...
    After just a few transactions, and always using blockchain, circle closes my account.

    If they start doing that, we can start using
    Whir is a Bitcoin mixer that returns privacy to your Bitcoin.


    Not traceable.

      I'm curious what Raiders thinks about this? And if he uses some type of mixer?

        I've used bitmixer.io in the past. Now I use exchanges Poloniex, Bitstamp and BTC-e.

        ges work in the same way as mixers. The nice thing about an exchange is that you can claim to be a trader if questioned by Coinbase/Circle.

        g just a wallet in the middle no longer works. You'll need to use an exchange or mixer.

          It's also against Bitstamp's T&C to use gambling money...so wallet -> bitstamp won't work either I think. Not sure if they enforce it though...

            Bitstamp may ask questions. As long as you answer, you're fine. All have rules against illegal activities.

            Things do change fast with bitcoins so there isn't a guarantee of not getting banned in the future. Losing an exchange doesn't mean much unless you are an actual trader.

                  yes. Transfers aren't as fast when going through exchanges so it can take up to an hour or two to get from Coinbase to Book.

                    You're not actually trading to say litecoin and back you just deposit and withdraw from the exchange to get new coins that don't originate from Circle and go to A book?

                    Aren't there fees or limits by the exchanges for how much you can get in and out and a price for it?
