<br />
=== Anonymity ===<br />
There is a huge demand for buying Bitcoins off the grid due to ever-increasing government regulations and private agency intrusions and discrimination against alternative currencies. <br />
Due to the possibility of facial recognition cameras at banks and the paper trail involved with credit cards, there are very few options to have high levels of anonymity when buying Bitcoins those ways. DNA, Fingerprints, phone and internet records, audio and video records will not be discussed, but they all are possible tools which attackers could use to uncloak even the stealthiest Bitcoin buyer.<br />
There are a couple known ways, depending on your location, to buy Bitcoins outside of the standard banking system with relatively high anonymity.<br />
Buying locally with cash using a burner or payphone allows a high level of anonymity with the exchange being the weakest link.<br />
Many sellers online will also trade Bitcoins for [[MoneyPak]] codes or other cash-like gift codes which can be bought at a local store with cash.<br />
Another way to buy Bitcoins with a high level of anonymity is by sending cash in the mail.<br />

<br />
=== Anonymity ===<br />
There is a huge demand for buying Bitcoins off the grid due to ever-increasing government regulations and private agency intrusions and discrimination against alternative currencies. <br />
Due to the possibility of facial recognition cameras at banks and the paper trail involved with credit cards, there are very few options to have high levels of anonymity when buying Bitcoins those ways. DNA, Fingerprints, phone and internet records, audio and video records will not be discussed, but they all are possible tools which attackers could use to uncloak even the stealthiest Bitcoin buyer.<br />
There are a couple known ways, depending on your location, to buy Bitcoins outside of the standard banking system with relatively high anonymity.<br />
Buying locally with cash using a burner or payphone allows a high level of anonymity with the exchange being the weakest link.<br />
Many sellers online will also trade Bitcoins for [[MoneyPak]] codes or other cash-like gift codes which can be bought at a local store with cash.<br />
Another way to buy Bitcoins with a high level of anonymity is by sending cash in the mail.<br />

===PayPal===<br />
<br />
[http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2293/how-can-i-buy-bitcoin-via-a-credit-card-or-paypal You can't directly buy Bitcoins using PayPal], because it is risky for the seller, and therefore few sellers will offer this. There are basically 3 reasons for that:<br />
<br />
* The buyer of bitcoins can always perform a chargeback and there is no way for the seller to contest that<br />
<br />
* There are many hacked accounts and when PayPal realizes that such an account has been fraudulently used, they will also perform a chargeback<br />
<br />
* PayPal doesn't like bitcoin, as the bitcoin network is in direct competition to it. They will ban accounts that have anything to do with Bitcoins, and freeze their balance.<br />
<br />
Having said that there is a [http://99bitcoins.com/buying-bitcoins-with-paypal-a-practical-guide/ workaround] that can be done in order to use Paypal to buy Bitcoins but it holds within it higher transaction fees. Using the [http://VirrWox.com Virtual World Exchange] you can buy Second Life Lindens (SLL) with Paypal and then convert your SLL to Bitcoins. This process will charge you transaction fees of around 6% but will let you purchase Bitcoins pretty quickly as opposed to a wire transfer. The reason this method works is because you do not buy Bitcoins with Paypal directly, you only buy SLL with Paypal (which is acceptable by Paypal's TOS) and then exchange your SLL to Bitcoin.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' If you only want to take advantage of Bitcoin's price volatility You can trade CFDs on Bitcoin via Paypal on sites like [http://Ava-Trade.co.uk AvaTrade] or [http://99bitcoins.com/plus500 Plus500].

<br />
=== Anonymity ===<br />
There is a huge demand for buying Bitcoins off the grid due to ever-increasing government regulations and private agency intrusions and discrimination against alternative currencies. <br />
Due to the possibility of facial recognition cameras at banks and the paper trail involved with credit cards, there are very few options to have high levels of anonymity when buying Bitcoins those ways. DNA, Fingerprints, phone and internet records, audio and video records will not be discussed, but they all are possible tools which attackers could use to uncloak even the stealthiest Bitcoin buyer.<br />
There are a couple known ways, depending on your location, to buy Bitcoins outside of the standard banking system with relatively high anonymity.<br />
Buying locally with cash using a burner or payphone allows a high level of anonymity with the exchange being the weakest link.<br />
Many sellers online will also trade Bitcoins for [[MoneyPak]] codes or other cash-like gift codes which can be bought at a local store with cash.<br />
Another way to buy Bitcoins with a high level of anonymity is by sending cash in the mail.<br />

<div>Bitcoin dice games are by far the most popular Bitcoin powered casino game available online. Bitcoin dice allows people to jump in the game with provably fair rolls, determine their own risk, and win tons of BTC in one lucky roll of the dice. This short and inclusive Bitcoin dice review tackles all the significant features this Bitcoin game has to offer. There are games where you can bet on Roll LO only while others on Roll HI only. However, there are also dice games where you can wager on either of the two options. <br />
<br />
Most Bitcoin dice betting sites boast of their provable fairness. With provably fair gaming in existence, you can verify both your own rolls and those of anyone else at any point.<br />

<div>'''[https://inputs.io Inputs.io]''' was a free Bitcoin eWallet that leveraged its own [[Off-Chain Transactions|off chain]] payment network. Inputs was one of the most secure web wallets on the market, with two factor authentication, location based email confirmation, client sided hashing, and a setup that prevents the hack of Bitcoins even if the web server was compromised.<br />
<br />
Inputs.io is no longer operational. On November 7th, 2013, the following message was displayed on the homepage: "Two hacks totalling about 4100 BTC have left Inputs.io unable to pay all user balances." <br />
<br />
Users do not need to download the blockchain to create a wallet, which makes Bitcoin easier to use. Transactions are mixed by default with no fee to provide anonymity. However, the site doesn't leverage client side cryptography and doesn't allow it's users to export their private keys. Take caution when using any web wallet service.<br />
<br />
Inputs.io also offers an extensive API for using the off-chain payment network.<br />
<br />
Currently, Inputs.io is supported by the following sites:<br />
<br />
* Just-dice.com<br />
* BitsPoker.com<br />
* CoinLenders.com<br />
* Coinchat.org<br />
* DailyBitcoins.org<br />
* Peerbet.org<br />
* BitAds.net<br />
<br />
Inputs.io is also a [[Bitcoin Foundation]] Silver member.<br />
