What measures do you take to remain anonymous?

After reading this write up i feel like im fucking up.
In the past i've used my home desktop to transfer funds from my checking account to my coinbase wallet. Then use one mixing service to transfer funds to my DNM wallet.
Considering finding a burner laptop and following this write up for peace of mind when making purchases.
What measures do you take to remain anonymous?

I use a private browsing window in safari and put a piece of masking tape over my macbook's built in webcam. I also had to go back in my Reddit account history and blur the face out of my dick pics.

Coibase -> blockchain -> Helix Light multiple transactions/random delay -> electrum -> dnm

whatever wallet you send your coins to after tumbling them, should not have had clearnet access. so basically, you either do it on tails, or you create a new wallet after you've rerouted electrum (in this case) through tor.

It is definitely worth reading that write up. Even though it's a few years old now the core information is still good. Just keep in mind the services recommended don't exist anymore, or have changed to be more financial regulator friendly, so do your homework to find replacements.

It's also good to remember we've found out you can pull a heck of a lot more information off the blockchain then anyone thought was possible when this was written.

Tumbling/mixing your BTCs between acquisition and spending needs to become a part of your standard routine. Especially when we're moving towards payment options that are more directly linked between buyers and vendors.

While it is ALWAYS good to practice good OPSEC and NETSEC, don't totally piss your pants man thinking you screwed up. Ask yourself or do a bit of research on just how common it is for a BUYER to get nabbed for bad NETSEC. It's basically non-existant.

Use proper security going forward for the piece of mind, but don't lose any sleep over a past error. And remember, possession is 9/10s of the law, no drugs no arrest usually.
