My only dream is that Altcash heads back to 0.20/btc so I can unload the rest that I have.
My dream is that Altcash will find its way into anonymous ATMs or other OTC channels so I can sell/convert mine without compromising the anonymity of the associated real bitcoins.
I don't. Average Joe is going to have a hell of a time figuring out the difference between a Bitcoin
TM ATM vs. a Bitcoin Cash ATM. Especially when their names sound identical and their logos are virtually identical.
All by design I'm sure.
Powers That Be:
"If we can't block the growth of BitcoinTM, then we can slow it down or compromise it by confusing the shit out of newbs with similar forks in order to divide, dilute, and conquer. Their sorry asses won't know the difference until they try to spend it somewhere."I'm sure the next fork will be called Bitcoin Money and have just a slight turn of the logo. Maybe even upside down.
Annoying isn't it?
It's hard enough to find ATMs with decent fees that allow you to sell coins and even harder to find ones that handle ETH or LTC. I've never seen any other alt available through an ATM.
My best hope is for an OTC source. I dream wistfully for the good old days when most exchanges were completely anonymous.
I'm sure that you could find someone through local bitcoins or some other direct way to interact in order that you could preserve your anonymity. However, you do have to split your coins first, and I thought that one point you said that you were keeping your coins on a whole bunch of fucking paper wallets, and there could be some logisitics with getting all of that sorted out; however, it is not a daunting task.
Personally, I had some issues with splitting the BCH from my blockchain.info wallet - and there seems to have been more simple solutions than what I did; however, ultimately, I created a new Electron Cash wallet for every blockchain.info address that I had (there were 57 of them) in order to separately receive the BCH from each of them. I only had BCH on 33 addresses, but I went through all of the addresses in order to make sure that I did not accidentally miss any of them.
So, each address that had BCH, I transferred the BCH to my bitfinex account (using a different address each time); however, if you don't want to create such an account, it seems that you could find someone willing to assist you with all of that by using their account, and maybe charging you a 5-10% fee or something? Then seems to me that you would preserve your anonymity. I would do that for one of my regular local bitcoin's contacts, and they are already used to paying me approximately 5% just to buy or sell bitcoin through me... so likely something could be worked out.
Another thing that you could do, is establish some random throw-away account that does not require KYC in order to convert your BCH yourself... wasn't Bittrex one of the exchange services that some folks were using for quickie reclamation of BTC for their BCH?
