When I am continuously receiving small Monero payments, should I withdraw my Monero account balance (always to the same secondary XMR account of mine) more often or less often in order to ensure lower traceability of the funds?
I have read that withdrawing “account balance more often can lead to lower traceability of the funds”. Is it significant? [email protected] mentioned that “after 1 churn, there is a 1 in 16 chance (6.25%) that this transaction is yours. After 2 churns, it’s a 1 in 16x16 = 1/256 = 0.39% chance that the final output of the route is yours
” But I think that what he wrote applies on a subsequent churns of “same funds” (mywalet1->mywallet2->mywallet3 = 2 churns). But when i withdraw just once per year my received balance or twice per year, does it mayke any difference (how big) in terms of anonymity/traceability?
You don’t really need to churn. Just consolidate in your other wallet every so often and you are good to go.
Depends on your threat model. If you’re not being monitored, then repeatedly churning might be too overkill
