Cash Deposit Anonymous?

I am looking to purchase some BTC with the maximum possible anonymity. If I use the cash deposit into a bank account method, is the teller at most US banks required to ask for ID? Other than person-to-person cash transactions, are there any other options? Thanks!

They shouldn't ask for any ID at most banks. Moneypak and Vanilla are also 100 anon al;so.

only Chase asks for Id, and a few credit unions.

vanilla reload paks are normally used to load prepaid cards with money.

sometimes you just need those coins in the middle of the night though...and moneypak and vanilla are always on sale :)

So for moneypak/vanilla, I would just buy the card with cash and pay by giving the seller the number on the card?

yes, you upload a picture of the card and receipt like I showed you on here.

Perfect, which method (cash depo vs. moneypak vs. vanilla) is the most anonymous in your opinion? Obviously I would purchase moneypak/vanilla with cash.

Cash in mail is the most anonymous way to trade. The premiums are way lower than most other methods of trade. If anonymity is your goal than you need to find a trader that will do a direct transfer to your wallet of choice so you do not have to register anything, anywhere. Simply mail your cash to their address. Let me know if you are still interested in trading, cash in mail is our preferred method of trade.
