i’m wanting to get on usenet but remain compeltely anon (vpn, anon purchase, etc).
i know this ins’t stricly a piracy question and is maybe more of a crypto question but figure there ain’t nobody who knows privacy and anoniminitry like you guys do.
so if i want to some amounts of bitcoin/whatever anonymously, how tf do i get it? liek not large amount, just small shit like to buy subs for a few for usenet indexes and whatnot?i know the bitcoin atm’s and banks do “know your customer” stuff (basically they id you first) and are not anon. have hear d that you can mine it anon but not sure if apps track hw specs and whatnot that could be used to id you. is there another ways that dont require you to have sepcial sms accounts or burner phones pr whaetver first? or maybe you guys can recommend me some foss mining apps which are safe that i could check out?
i’m on linux ifg it matters for good mining aps. i can write some bash scripts but im not a super hacker or anthing so ones that dont require a degree are appreciated.
edit: i don’t specifically care about bitcoin. i just don’t know jack about crypto and assumed that was what the usenet service providers would accept. if there’s something else they’d take that is still anonymous, that’s fine with me as long as you guys can help my dumb noob ass understand what to do.
ok, XMR then. sorry, very new to crypto stuff. how do you get it anon? do you use site the other guy recommended? mine it? something else?
i heard somewhere that mining is hard unless you spend lot of money on hw but wasn’t sure if i could do something like that for smaller amounts like $100 every 6 months or something.
Reason people recommend monero is because crypto like bitcoin has a public ledger, so if you send your bitcoin to a usernet service then the usenet service and along with the exchange used to get the bitcoin will know what you spent the bitcoin on. So you end up having to use mixers to try and hide the transaction.
Monero is just easier where the wallet receiving the Monero should theoretically not know what address it came from because the ledger is private. So once you sent your monero into your own wallet the exchange and anyone you send the monero too would not know the address of your wallet or balance. At least in theory.

You could get a regular crypto account. It’s been a while so I’m not sure but Binance perhaps.
They do operate with KYC (Know you customer) do you can buy XMR here but you should move it from that wallet to an anonymous one.
Depending on what you are doing it with it you could use a simple app that generates wallets for you. Or you can use a cold storage device.
Never make purchases from a wallet linked to the account where you deposit real money. But if you transfer it out to different XMR wallets then it’s better.
This is from memory and likely wrong it places. Do your own research on how to be anonymous.
I’m not saying this is your use case but looking for guides in using XMR on Darkweb markets should give you all the information you require.
Google things like how to buy XMR anon etc. how to create anon wallets and store them.

XMR is a better choice if you want complete anonymity.
