When i churn/mix multiple account's XMR and then combine the outputs into a single account, i have compromised my anonymization effort?
Hello,
if I am using several Monero receiving accounts (like “cash”, “work”, “trading”, “mining”, “donations”) and for each of the account i have secondary account into which i repeatedly sweep my receiving account's balance in order to churn/mix my XMR (e.g. cash -> cash2nd).
What if:
A) I "combine" the XMR again in the second "level" of my XMR accounts (account called common3rd):
cash -> cash2nd -> common3rd
work -> work2nd -> common3rd
trading -> trading2nd -> common3rd -> 3rd party (big payment which would combine most/all outputs)
B) I split each churning/mixing transaction into several a small outputs:
cash -> output 1 - cash2nd
-> output 2 - work2nd
-> output 3 - trading2nd
and then spend from all these 2nd accounts in one big transaction
Is better (anonymity-wise) A or B and why or you suggest better direction?
Do a sweep and see if it gets caught by the sweep detector they have built into one of those monero block explorers. Experiment with what those tools can detect. If I had a reason to be anonymous I would make sure I worked to understand how those free sweep detect tools work that charitable monero peeps have offered up to the public.
