Everyday wallet privacy habits that need no mixer
Most privacy comes from small habits rather than special services.
01Fresh receive addresses
Modern wallets create a new address for each payment. Reusing one address links all its payments together.
02Route wallet traffic through Tor
Many wallets can connect through Tor, which hides your IP address from the nodes they talk to.
03Share less
Avoid posting addresses publicly alongside your name or other accounts.
04Keep records for yourself
Note what each transaction was for. It helps with your own bookkeeping and any tax questions.
Key pointUse fresh addresses, connect wallets through Tor and avoid tying addresses to your identity.
