I like my storage cold. My sats mixed. My UTXOs KYC-free

How to do this
Samourai wallet on android
Sparrow wallet on desktop
1. Acquire Bitcoin
2. Send to Sparrow Wallet (desktop only)
3. Select UTXOs —> “Mix”
4. Send to ice cold storage
Robosats is my preferred KYC-free P2P Bitcoin exchange
Do you mix after acquiring from non-nyc method?
Yes, because there’s no guarantee they were mixed before you acquired them, even if via KYC-free methods
Is sparrow safe?
Yes.
Use it with your own node.
Don't have 1 🙈
Ok, then you can connect your sparrow wallet to public electrum server.
Consider running your own node later.
You can coinjoin privately with Wasabi Wallet for desktop without needing to connect to your node first. It's far more private, blockspace efficient, and cheaper than Whirlpool:
Even if you use one of the nodes provided by Sparrow, it’s far safer than any bank, and on par with any Bitcoin hot wallet. Since it is a hot wallet, however, just make sure you withdraw to cold storage after you mix
I like my Bitcoin like I like my smoothies blended and mixed baby!
how much did that cost you?
a trip to tradeogre would have been cheaper probably and it would have given you 100% privacy instead of 80%
