I've really grown to love monero. It's a great crypto that should definitely be used - especially on the DNMs. My process has been the following:
Buy BTC from exchange with CC > Electrum wallet on clearnet > shapeshift to monero > 1st monero wallet on clearnet > 2nd monero wallet through tor > send to self again over tor (churn) > xmr.to > BTC to TAILS electrum > DNM
So yeah it's a bit of an elongated process, but I'd rather be safer than not. I am also running my own node. My question is - can I just send monero to the vendor from my 2nd monero wallet over tor & skip the transfer back to BTC? I ask because that monero wallet I have is on my personal PC, not TAILS. I route all the traffic on my personal PC to go through tor to achieve this. Just feels weird sending from my personal PC to a vendor directly. But is that still safe? Thanks for any advice!
