Ok, so spending received XMR within 15 blocks (block time seems to be 2 minutes, so half a hour) is too early and spending every 6 months incoming payments in one single tx to my secondary wallet i suppose is too long time… hmm, that is all quite complicated, I can’t asses/compare these times (30 minutes vs 1 month vs 6 months) significance of the impact on anonymity. But thank you.

I will need to consolidate/sweep hundreds of transactions maybe once per year and pay it to someone in one big transaction. This big transaction is mandatory, i can not pay them in small amounts. The plan on how to proceed is already mentioned below when you search for “C)” on this page. Please if it is wrong or if you have an improvement idea (anonymity-wise), comment on that below. Thank you

what you meant.

You have not meantioned what you have not understood, so i can tell that my question was if i should be withdrawing my receiving Monero wallet often or if is ok to withdraw it rarely. (when it comes to privacy/anonymity, which way is better, how much better or even if you want to tell why)

I think that when I am having link like https://lemmings.world/post/10530999 or knowing a title of the post, i can not discover in which community it has been posted… When I check same number of post on different instance: https://lemmy.ml/post/10530999 it does NOT work. Yet the search works: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=10530999 is there no other/easier way than opening one big instance after another (for example from the list https://lemmyverse.net/?order=posts&open=true ) and use search like that?

The more outputs you have/use, to more traceable you get

Thanks for your input. ChatGPT says “using more outputs in your transactions can potentially lead to unintentional traceability if those outputs are later used in a larger transaction. This is why it is important to carefully plan and manage how you use outputs in your transactions to maximize privacy.” So it confirms what you have said.

So I guess that I should avoid manually adding multiple outputs in aim to decrease chance of a tracking, I am saying that since i am usually getting small transactions and spending in big ones (which would “consolidate” small outputs and more less invalidate my anonymization effort). So I guess i will do just churning with single output to my secondary wallet and in case i want to “join” funds from “home” and “work” accounts, I can do:

C)

3rd party -> work -> work2nd

KYC’ed 3rd party -> home -> home2nd -> home3rd -> work2nd

and then spend big transaction from work2nd (or maybe i can skip the step “home3rd -> work2nd” and source the big transaction from various accounts, yet someone claimed last year “It seems that at the present moment, neither the Monero GUI/RPC/CLI wallets implement the ability to transfer from multiple addresses.” and I can confirm I am unable to find it in Monero GUI [btw. it is very slow to sync (even tens of minutes if not ran for 2 weeks+), i am NOT running node and i am using Tor proxy inside it]. Feedback to what I have written is much appreciated.

don’t use a churn output with an unchurned output

You mean that the churning by sending from my wallet to this same wallet(i can also say account or sub account of the wallet) (sending to self) just part of its ballance, will result in churned and non churned outputs in that wallet and these will be joined together if i later (after a week) send a big transaction (or wallet sweep) causing my previous churning be pointless? Maybe in this case is better for simplicity to always churn (part or full balance - i do not know if there is any benefit in sending in parts or in full) to second account within my wallet (instead of sending to self/same address) to prevent this. And i will be sending XMR to a third parties only from that secondary account?

I assume that you mean to receive XMR on own wallet 1, wait for example one week, send to own wallet 2, wait a few days and then spend it (for example in an e-shop)?

According to @[email protected] [email protected] suggestions, i assume that to improve this, i can split the first transaction between my wallets into two payments (hours or a day delay between each) and each sent to different wallet of mine, then making sure i do not send these two outputs later into same wallet of mine, which would compromise my anonymization attempt? Is this split into 2 payments doubling the difficulty to trace the payment?

The method described in this whole post of mine can be considered very unlikely to be traced by any government in the next decade? Thank you

Thanks, I would like to be able to understand how big improvement would be to send the same or similar amount to secondary wallet of mine when comparing to direct sending mentioned by you. I think that i want above average protection, but i am unable to estimate impact (on TX traceability) of 1,2 more transactions of similar amount between my wallets and i am not enough technical to read and understand tens of technical pages of the Monero whitepaper.
