Bitcoin Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for Bitcoin crypto-currency enthusiasts. It only takes a minute to sign up.
Sign up to join this communityBitcoin relies on disclosing as little information about yourself as needed in order to accomplish its functions. In order to receive coins, you only need to provide a Bitcoin address, like such:

If you are worried about your anonymity, you should generate a new address in the standard client that you will use only once. Should anyone wish for you to confirm that you own a given address, you can use the private key you have to sign some meaningful message.
Note however, that it is possible to try connecting your Bitcoin address to your online identity if you are not careful. It is very unlikely, unless someone REALLY wants to find out who you are.
