What's safer to spend on markets, tumbling BTC I mined myself or tumbling BTC bought from an exchange?

I want to buy something on SR2, I will tumble the money I use to pay. I can do this with BTC I mined myself or I could buy some BTC from somewhere and then tumble that. What is safer/more anonymous?

If it's better to buy BTC, where is the safest place to do so?

i think it doesn't make much difference if you use mined or bought coins.

of course if you buy some coins with cash/meetup on localbitcoins.com (over tor) or with the buy function of the mycelium wallet there is little to no evidence that you even had coins. but unless you are planning on buying big amounts no cop will even try to follow the trail the coins left.

If you wanted better OP sec surely it'd be better to sell the coins you've mined (for say this sake of argument the average BTC price is £500) at £510 then look for some on a different exchange you can buy at £506 a coin or something, then you have "fresh" bitcoins?

I don't even understand why people tumble unless you're buying 1. From a moron who's small time and will get caught. 2. From someone with an operation way too large for the city they're in and will get caught.

Seriously, buying a pound of weed or a half ounce of coke isn't going to get you caught unless something drastically fucked up happens on the vendors side, from what I know.

9/10 times I buy with cash. No need to tumble. This is the safest and easiest way in my opinion. I have a BTC ATM close by now so it's great.

Tumbling your mined coins doesn't sound like a bad idea though. But perhaps not even necessary.

Another option is to sell your mined coins to someone and buy them back from someone else. This is what I would probably do in your case, screw tumbling.

Whats your mining setup?

I would simply tumble the coins you mined. Weather that menas selling them yourself, and buying new ones, or running them through a tumbler, or trading for various alt coins and back to BTC is up to you. But if your set up is connected to the clearnet, which it is, it would be unwise to use those coins. The guy that runs bitblender sells freshly mined coins in his tumbling service, get at him if you have loads of freshly mined coins to sell, he could probably help exchange them, and you might even make some coin on the transaction.

Pretty unreasonable, but whatever. Cal me paranoid all you want

Use tails. I'm not an expert on tails but I'm pretty sure it gives you near enough full anonymity. Have a look at this http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/1xx060/jolly_rogers_security_for_n00bs/

Edit: I use bit bargain (uk based)
