Tips for maximizing safety

This thread will serve as a forum for contribution of safety tips that one may not have thought of themselves. One person may have a method that you have not thought of and vice versa. You can never be too safe.

Mine: 1: I use an isolated computer for DNM purchases only running Tails OS. This computer has never seen the clear web and is only started with Tails OS.

2: Whenever making purchases, I ALWAYS use the WiFi of a local fast food joint, coffee shop, library ect. I don't shit where I eat.

3: When tumbling bitcoins, a genius way to tumble is not by using a tumbling service, but by converting bitcoins to Litecoin or Dogecoin for example, thus breaking the bitcoin chain, leaving no way for LE to track where the bitcoins came from, because that chain no longer exists.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. The safer, the better.

EDIT: Haven't used the Litecoin or Dogecoin service in awhile but apparently it's dead. Grams Helix is another fantastic method of tumbling your coins.

pull the hard drive out of that laptop you use for running Tails. Harder for malware to run on a hard drive that doesn't exist

1) Okay.

2) Restaurants, if not all, have surveillance camera inside that could potentially monitor you. If LE gets ahold of the tape and you're in it - you're the primary suspect. Secondly, you're showing openly that you're conducting DNM business in public. For all I know, an off-duty LE/cops could be right behind you. Bad OPSEC.

3) Okay. If you're referring to shapeshift.io - just becareful - they're known to work with LE organization without questions, or so I was told.

4) Gram Helix is ideal. Or use JoinCoin. If it's an personal amount, I wouldn't sweat it.

This isn't a very good recommendation. Shapeshift says themselves that if you go back and forth like that you'll most likely end up with the same coins. If you use different services that would be better, but still not ideal. Using Monero and using two different services for the transaction is a much better way of doing it as the transaction can't be followed. Tumbling would probably be better but might not even be necessary.

This is a sneaky ass edit OP. Nice way to shill for a shitty fucking service.

There is an entire sister sub of this one, located in the sidebar, that is dedicated to what you propose.

Maybe you should have a look there and brush up on some real OpSec knowledge. Just in case the user name checks out.
