Almost ready for my first order, few questions left

I've been reading up a lot the last weeks and am almost ready to place my first order but there are a few questions left unanswered:

  1. I installed Tails on a USB stick with the recommended program from the Tails web page. Then I put it on another stick with the Tails Installer and then back on the first one since it was bigger where I created a persistent partition. I haven't verified the ISO Image yet though since the process seemed very confusing, is that a crucial step?

  2. I will be buying the Bitcoins from a place where my ID number is registered. There's a lot of discussion goint on about tumbling being necessary or not, but I guess that there's no doubt that it should be done in a case like this right?

  3. Can I use the Electrum wallet which I created on Tails for this first step or should I use a wallet which I made on the clearnet? What would the right oder of steps look like including tumbling from buying them to having them on a DNM?

  4. I will try to minimize the amount that is left over from the order, but what would the process look like if I wanted it back?

Thank you for your help!

For 4, don't try to minimize the amount too much. It's a pain in the ass when the price of bitcoin drops and suddenly you're a little short. It's easy to get your leftover coins back in your wallet. On Agora just go to the Wallet page after you've made your purchase and look for "withdraw".

I guess it doesn't help to be paranoid but in reality, all those things improve your OPSEC by very little if you're a customer. Personally, I just run Tor straight from Windows and my BTC only bounces off one wallet before hitting the market.
