The xpub can’t straight up be reverse engineered through on-chain analysis even if they know you control each of those addresses due to KYC/chainalysis, but they assume it’s all you which would be “confirmed” (by their models) the moment you consolidate them (if you were to)

Yes you can label them in sparrow and in bluewallet and specter, probably others. But it is important to note that your labels are stored locally in each program. So say you lose your wallet and your computer but you made backups, and reload it into sparrow, those labels wouldn’t be there. There MIGHT be a type of sparrow-specific backup that would carry labels over when reloaded but i’m not totally sure

This is so helpful! The mixing pretty much breaks that chain, though, right? If I were to mix and then consolidate?

(actually I think they were consolidated when I moved from hot wallet to cold storage so I think it's just the one address/one UTXO that's linked to me at this point)

That’s what they say at least! I’m retarded

Re: consolidating after mixing. Ideally you don't want to consolidate after mixing as this will degrade some of the anonymity. Consolidate first and then aim to enter the largest mixing pool (e.g. 0.1 btc). All your utxos come out as 0.1 or whatever size you entered... make sense?

That makes sense to me
