Buying bitcoin anonymously with cash?

I'm throwing together a quick guide for total noobs on how to buy from Tor Market.

But I haven't bought bitcoin for years so not sure if/where it can be bought for cash with no ID verification these days.

If ID is gonna be required, will just have to add mixing into the equation.

So where does everyone think is the best/easiest?

Re: Buying bitcoin anonymously with cash?

To acquire Monero , I assume you need bitcoin first, so what would be the fees incurred switching into Monero? Then the vendor who receives Monero would need to switch back to Bitcoin wouldn't they? If you add up all those costs I think it would be more efficient to stay in Bitcoin and just mix with Coinjoin wallets.

My understanding is that only sellers need to provide ID to LBC so buyers should be able to buy anonymously.

I wont be including images. But I'm not the countries expert on the best way for noobs to buy anonymously, so will be making the guide more 'open source'. Once I've got a rough outline I'll post it here and others can change what I get wrong or fill in the gaps, or add images.

If you can find brokers with a reasonable premium 10-15% is the norm.

I have to provide id to the seller as a buyer on localbitcoins but have found someone who does bank deposit so it stays out of my account at least. you used to be able to buy with cash no id under 10k but they put a stop to that and it was 15% comission..

i definitely have to provide id as a buyer, by switching it to monero after purchase it can no longer be traced to me and i can do whatever with it from there. currently i would have to make it btc again to purchase from the market so if vendors were accepting payment in monero it would cut out a set of tx fees. i havent priced up the full cost but as far as i have read its not too bad and is the only untraceable crypto

Couldn't you just use a BTC tumbler? Or buy with cash off reddit?

Re: Buying bitcoin anonymously with cash?

You just need to find a seller who doesn't require ID. But they will always ask for ID if you are paying with a bank account because banks can reverse transactions or it could be a stolen bank account. So cash deposit at a bank teller is probably the only way a seller will trade without seeing ID.
