An easier way to route bitcoins? (xpost from darknetmarketsnoobs)

Until recently I followed the bible and was routing bitcoins: Coinbase > Electrum (Mac) > Electrum (Tails) > DNM.

I don't like the idea of tumbling because then Coinbase > Electrum (Mac) > Tumbler is traceable and linked to me. If the Tumbler was colluding with LE then it is clear my identity is sending btc into a tumbler which I consider worse than having an anonymous blockchain wallet linked to me for plausible deniability.

However, I noticed that blockchain wallet does not need email authentication (i.e. I can user a burner email) nor any verification.

So my new route has been: Coinbase > Bittrex (exchange, ID linked) > Blockchain (Tor, burner email) > Electrum (Tails) > DNM.

Share this with community and looking for feedback and support on this as a good way to route coins.

plenty of people do this with https://coinb.in/ and it does the same thing.

Maybe I'm high as fuck and missing something, but the chain really isn't broken is it? From Coinbase's perspective, yes it probably is as Bittrex would "tumble" your coins. But that's linked to your identity right? Wouldn't Bittrex have a clear link from that to the DNM? No tumbling in between? You are adding wallets which of course could add some plausible deniability, but the tumbling didn't really happen b/c there is a chain from Bittrex to DNM - or am I missing something?

Your statement regarding tumblers is absolutely a valid concern and risk. Just as LE used a VPN honeypot to expose all the carders, a tumbler could be one just as well and a tumbler is no good if its compromised from the inside.

How about using some gambling website in between the exchange and DNM somewhere? I will sometimes use prime dice or something to tumble some coin manually.
