Nevertheless, there are still a lot of people who utter the funny phrase "I paid anonymously / safely-with bitcoins". But if bitcoins were really like this, what the hell would your ZCash and Monero have come up with? Yes, indeed, when using the same electrum, you do not need to register your wallet in any way at all. Stupidly created and use, no documents, no phone numbers or even mail is not necessary.
However, by placing your bitcoin wallet somewhere on the network, or simply communicating it to someone, we immediately allow anyone who wants to go to the blockchain and monitor all transactions in it.
- Which wallets were used to make payments to it
- Which wallets were used to make payments from it
- Exact date and time of these payments
- The exact amount of these payments
Also, do not forget about situations when some kind of exchanger or exchange worked "for one very important case". And when analyzing the activity of the exchanger, smaller fish have already stuck. The forest is cut down-splinters fly, as they say.
To save yourself nerves and make it difficult for a likely opponent to monitor the movement of your crypto finances, you can use the conversion of bitcoins into another, more stable cryptocurrency.
You can certainly try to "wash" them in a mixer, only mixers save the maximum from monitoring" in hand-to-hand combat " and are powerless against special software solutions, and with what degree of pale coins you mix your own there is still a question, it is obvious that mixers are used only in special (off-the-wall) situations. However, the monero envelope will be more reliable if you do everything wisely.
Instruction manual:
Go to the site https://web.getmonero.org/, we find the downloads button on top of it. Choose your download option (the article was written when working with Monero-Wallet-Gui under Linux). Download the archive, unpack it, and run it (of course, via tor!).

↑ Click Continue
↑ Here we click Simple mode so as not to download over 100 gigs of transactions.
↑ Check the box here and click Next
↑ Choose Create a new wallet
↑ We immediately write down words from the Mnemonic seed field somewhere - you can use them to restore the Chur Chur wallet.
We write down a valid password and also write it down along with a set of incomprehensible words from Picchi above.
↑ Finally! Now click Open wallet!
First you will see the mysterious process of launching a wallet, this is the norm:
Wait until both stripes on the bottom left turn orange:
Once the daemon and wallet are synchronized, you can proceed with a trial transaction, strictly following each step:
Step 1:
First, we go to the # 1 exchange and order an operation to exchange muddy bitcoins for monero (BTC>XMR). As a rule, you only need to specify your monero wallet and email address (you can stupidly write the left one from the fool).
We are waiting for money from the exchange to arrive on monero. Then we wait for a sufficient number of confirmations to transfer this amount from the Locked to Unlocked status (usually 15-20 minutes).):
↑ In monero, the recipient doesn't know the sender's address
Step 2:
As soon as the amount is displayed in Unlocked Balance, click account on the left, Create new account on the right, come up with a name and create a second monero wallet.
After that, we independently transfer the amount from our monero wallet # 1 to our own monero wallet # 2. It is this transaction that breaks all ties between money on monero # 2 and money on the muddy bitcoin that started it all, since the blockchain cannot be monitored in monero, and the sender's address is not shown even to the recipient. And if we lit up monero wallet No. 1 in exchanger No. 1, then no one will know monero wallet # 2, since by transferring money from it we will be the sender and the recipient will not know the address of our monero # 2.
Step 3:
We withdraw pure money from monero # 2 via exchange # 2 to pure bitcoin cash or plastic. At the same time, we split payments into parts, that is, if we sent 222k from the cue ball, then we withdraw it in parts of the type 30K+72K+29K+91k, and we spread the withdrawal for 2-3 days.
