Community,
I'm looking for a technical discussion on the current state-of-the-art for conducting untraceable financial transactions. Beyond the standard advice of using Tor and a clean machine, what are the most effective TTPs you're seeing or using?
I'm particularly interested in:
1. Credit Card Anonymization: Are prepaid/virtual cards still a viable first layer? What are the most robust methods for acquiring and using them without linking back to personal identity? How are people bypassing modern KYC/AML checks implemented by providers?
2. Crypto Privacy Coins: Monero is the go-to, but what does a truly secure transaction lifecycle look like? This includes acquisition (e.g., non-KYC exchanges, atomic swaps), tumbling/mixing strategies that are still effective, and cashing out without creating a traceable link.
3. Layering & Obfuscation: What are some effective layering techniques? For example, using a series of privacy wallets, swapping between different privacy coins (e.g., XMR -> ZEC), and strategically timing transactions to blend in with network noise. What are the common OpSec failures that lead to de-anonymization?
Looking for insights, advanced techniques, and critiques of common but outdated methods. What's your current go-to stack for maximum financial privacy?
