I'm working to improve my coin control and privacy practices. My bitcoins currently sit on a Blockstream Jade and come from various traceable sources (exchanges, P2P, Alby, etc.).

Goal:

Effective privacy without overcomplicating my security model. I want to obfuscate these transaction histories.

My understanding so far:

Need to transfer from Jade to a hot wallet for coinjoining

Sparrow offers "fake coinjoins" (Stonewall transactions) that work solo

Real coinjoins require coordination but offer stronger privacy

Specific questions:

Workflow confirmation: Is Jade → hot wallet → coinjoin → new cold storage the right approach?

Tool choice: Sparrow vs Wasabi for someone prioritizing hardware wallet integration?

Stonewall vs collaborative coinjoins: When is fake coinjoin sufficient vs needing the real thing?

Common mistakes: What privacy-killing errors should I avoid?

UTXO management: Best practices for managing mixed vs unmixed coins?

I've read Sparrow's docs on private spending but would love real-world insights from those who've implemented robust privacy practices.

What's worked best for your setup?
