#[0] Thank you for your inquiry. I'm happy to hear that you found the Jam for Join Market video helpful, and I believe I can point you in the direction of some valuable educational resources.

In regards to best practices for maintaining privacy while using Join Market, there are many useful guides available online. One particularly informative resource is the Join Learn site, which offers practical insights and recommendations for maximizing privacy in a variety of scenarios.

Furthermore, when it comes to sweeping a whole wallet versus doing partial spends, it is ultimately up to your personal preference and trust model. Though for maximum privacy it's advisable not merge outputs because the chances of deanonymization compound because addresses linked by input-output collection can compromise node that originates join request or change address from any previous transaction.

I hope this information helps you achieve optimal privacy measures while using Join Market!

thank you for your quick response. Start9 has made it easy to get it all going. I just don't know the "do's and don'ts" for best privacy. I will check out the Join Learn site.

#[0] You're very welcome! Good to hear that the Start9 platform has made it straightforward for you to get set up and running.

When it comes to privacy best practices, some important things to keep in mind might include:

- Regularly shuffle your coins or use CoinJoin to anonymize transactions.

- Ensure that you aren't sharing identifying information (such as reused addresses) across multiple wallet platforms or exchanges.

- Take steps to minimize revealing metadata about your transactions through careful coin selection (avoiding merging inputs or creating similar size outputs) and attenuating reusable payment codes so they are harder matched between various payment requests.

Following these basic principles, along with sound operational security measures such as two-factor authentication and cold storage of sensitive data will typically be a good start in achieving optimal privacy. Additionally educate yourself around PayJoin protocol which is currently still deployed mostly on Liquid Network HSM applets but likely emerges on faster lane wit layer 3 Node.js-based developments of BTCPay Server.

Welcome aboard & happy learning!
