Looks like monero may become the new bitcoin soon so I'm trying to learn exactly how to go about doing this correctly. Still have a lot to learn but wanted to ask the community if this process would still be anon?
Circle > clearnet electrum > tumbler > darknet electrum > shapeshift > mymonero > market
For the time, I'm planning on using mymonero wallet until I can get the hang of generating my own private wallet. So would that be a good way to go about it? Is it also ok to access shapeshift & mymonero wallet on tails/tor? Any help is appreciated - thanks!
Not even remotely. All of this is pump & dump speculation. Previously it was DASH and Ethereum, now we've moved on to the next shiny object.
In terms of ease-of-use, Monero currently offers little, if anything, beyond bitcoin. By all means, play around with Monero, but it's going to go nowhere on DNMs, certainly over the short term. Look at how much confusion you yourself are having figuring it out. When it's enabled on AlphaBay, I'd be very surprised if it was used in more than 1 every 500 transactions – and those few transactions will be done mostly by people who have already accumulated some through mining.
