Possible BTC transfer opsec fuckup?

Throwaway account.

So for various uninteresting reasons this is the first time I've had to move btc onto a market via an interim wallet. BTC was bought very anonymously but stored in an electrum wallet on my everyday OS instead of on tails. Anyway, having transferred a small amount of BTC into a market last night, I've now discovered why this was a bad idea, as my IP will be attached to that transaction.

That btc is now sitting on the market. The wallet in question has never been used for any other purchases. How big a balls-up is this? Should I be concerned? Or can I proceed as normal but configure electrum in tails for future use?

Thanks in advance.

If you're just buying things for personal use, I wouldn't give it another thought. If you're in a position where you're needing to launder crime proceeds and evade taxes in your country of origin, I would start to think about burning everything down and moving to Belize.

the transaction will only have a electrum server ip. it would require active monitoring by server admin. delete the dnm account and make a new one and tumble the coins in your wallet

I don't think you should be worried about this since it was a small amount and I assume for small order for personal use. Which doesn't mean you should always do it this way.

its good you caught yourself, but for the love of god dont make that same mistake again, while people here are right, personal use you might not have much to worry about, not making yourself a lowhanging fruit is pretty important in this RPG

just from now on never make that mistake again my dude

That transaction will forever be linked to your account on the market, and therefore your personal IP is forever linked to that account on that market. As others have said you are probably good if you are just getting personal amounts but I would make a new market account if I were in your shoes because you are now the lowest hanging fruit.
