What elements must one do I do a totally private crypto transaction?

Such as hide the IP address. Make sure Google doesn't follow. Make sure no trace is done.

What would be the main steps to follow to create a fully private transactions?

You best bet is to use VPN + Tor browser + newly generated address + bitcoin mixer to make it as anonymous as possible! I can also recommend an article which talks about few more options as below,

Hope this helps! But why do you need to make private transaction?

You can't totally hide your IP address, but you can change it using a VPN or TOR browser just like what have been mentioned above, this will also help to secure your locations because you are using other countries IP addresses.

E D I T: Don't do anything stupid

You can get it done using VPN, for example. As I know, if you use VPN on making a transaction, your IP address can not be traceable on that private transaction. You can make what you want happen by doing that.

Like others said, TOR + mixer sounds good. I think you're safe with these, but it depends on how badly you need anonymity, of course. If you really want to make a private transaction, then apart from TOR/VPN choose a different cryptocurrency that offers to make real private transactions. I mean crypto like Dash or Monero. This way your transaction won't be seen, and if you use TOR, your IP address will be hidden as well. Keep in mind, though, that whichever option you choose, there'll be people saying that it's all traceable. Who knows, maybe they are right. It's just that when people get busted, it's usually not revealed by the authorities what exactly allowed them to catch a person. But I tend to believe it was these people's stupid mistakes like using an email with your name and surname on a forum, not the authorities tracing the untraceable.

There are a couple of options available here:

-Use a VPN + TOR to access the bitcoin network and actually send the transaction there.
-Instead of using a mixer, exchange it to another currency, eg (ETH), and then make a new wallet, turn it back to BTC and you'll be able to use it again.
-Do not reveal any information to the person you are sending it to.

Using crypto transaction already give you a private transaction, no one will know your location nor your identity.
You can use VPN so you can change your IP and no one will know your IP address to trace you.

I think, avoiding KYC verification will give you full privacy, do not give anyone your identity even in bounty campaigns.

Actually its hard to do a private transaction because all of the transactions that we are doing is already saved in the database system of the crypto or blockchain, but as they mentioned above there is also a way on how we can hide our IP Address just like using a VPN to be able to change your ip address in one place to another, you can use it to hide your IP address and once you choose a country to be your location it will change automatically the IP address that you are using. I am pretty sure that no one can trace your IP address once you've used vpn, unless some IT people will try to find and catch your transaction.

Yes, we can track every transactions in the blockchain.
Using VPN or TOR will give privacy to its user, by hiding IP address. Once you have used it, no one will know your location.

To OP
To hide your transaction, if you are using bitcoin to transact, then you can use bitcoin mixer then you can finally have all the privacy you want.

I believe anonymity is very important to us but I don't think that it should all the time to be at that level. It may be we can apply it when we have a huge money transfer.

I don't know what makes vulnerable to hacking? Cause even though they can trace our IPs but they can't purge anything of our account if we only have a strong Password and security measure of it.  

 

Use VPN to change the IP address to be more secure and not tracked when doing private transactions, do not forget to use
Monero coins to be more anonymous in conducting transactions. And most importantly don't be careless leaving any traces, so
Your transaction is completely anonymous. I am so curious about you that you need to do a pivate transaction to use a transaction
what, I hope is not used to commit unlawful acts.

This article might help you on how to make a transaction in crypto that totally anonymous and not traceable, How to Make Anonymous Payments with Bitcoin: A Step-by-Step Guide (https://www.expressvpn.com/internet-privacy/bitcoin-anonymity/step-by-step-guide/). The most important here is hiding IP address via using a VPN and use a Bitcoin mixer to tumble your bitcoin (use Blender.io).

Anyway, I hope you're not doing stupidity that makes bitcoin image become bad, it won't help to Bitcoin gaining massive adoption.

don't use "cryptocurrency" then specially not bitcoin. convert your money to cash (physical money) and use that to make "transactions" instead. majority of cryptocurrencies do not offer "total privacy" that you are looking for. with bitcoin for example (and majority of altcoins since they copy bitcoin) there is no obfuscation and everything is transparent. it may not be easy to link a transaction to a person but it is not impossible. there are anon coins that do a better job but it still is not 100%.

The thing is, you can use several different methods to hide your identity, but we do not know which of those methods are traceable by blockchain forensics companies like CipherTrace. They are guarding their secrets on which services and methods are compromised and also traceable, so you are taking a huge risk to trust these mixer services and other third party software.  ::)

Even Tor is not as secure as most people want to believe, because law enforcement agencies have infiltrated exit nodes in the past, so you do not know if you are using one of those compromised exit nodes.  :(

KYC is only involved when you start linking bitcoin to the service providers that work with BTC, to send a simple bitcoin transaction, you won't be asked for your information (unless you use an online wallet).


It doesn't really matter though to be honest, there are over trillions of bitcoin transactions, and no one will be able to link you to one of them/an address if you follow the steps below.

If your scared about this, could always use XMR, they are pretty privacy-based.

Yes, and it is your own decision if you will undergo kyc. So as long as you do not make any verification, knowing your personal information is already impossible.

It is almost impossible to look over a billion number of transactions,
OP seems to be cautious and do not want to leak any of his information and will try everything to do it.

basically bitcoin is a digital currency that stands in blockchain technology that has transparent and public property to store our bitcoin transaction history, so i suggest to hide the privacy of your bitcoin transactions, you should use a bitcoin mixer because this service is to mix your bitcoin with coins random and mixer anonymize your transactions so your transactions cannot be tracked by the organization.

TOR browser maybe private way to hidden your IP address, I think only TOR browser become best way how to hidden your transaction. if you use other browser maybe each your transaction is not hidden and you can publish your IP know by other people, keep safety which your transaction by using TOR browser and your bitcoin data safety.

No crypto wallet is logging your IP along with your transaction, yes even web wallets. Only up to the level of connecting to the blockchain network, you may need an IP address and an active ISP but while broadcasting your transaction, your IPs are not going anywhere.

I guess it would be much better if you plan up your private transaction by leaving off IP thing.

There are no true private transactions in the blockchain. All transactions could be traced back to where it came from. The anonimity comes from unidentifiable bitcoin addresses of whom might have used them. KYC could disrupt the anonimity provided, and combined with tracable transactions, could spill your identity. Your best bet is to use different addresses/key pairs per transaction.

Online wallets are most likely actively logging your IP for security purposes and for their own internal logging. You can't hide your actual IP without the use of a proxy. When broadcasting your transaction, it would be tougher for others to guess the origin IP of the transaction and it would be much more inaccurate.

If the attacker holds enough percentage of the nodes, the attacker could guess the IPs with a better accuracy.

Crypto basically has a high risk of hacking or theft of your bitcoin, maybe if you want to avoid it and to fully protect your privacy when transacting crypto you must use a bitcoin mixer when transacting your bitcoin because the bitcoin mixer can protect our security fully when we conduct transactions with systems such as one of them is that bitcoinmix does not keep logs and cannot provide information about bitcoin sent or received from mixers so that they really maintain user confidentiality.

First, you have to engage the service of a vpn, the one that is trusted and not all these ones that you will use and think it is running while they are not blocking anything, anyway, I believe that you will know how to confirm if the vpn is active or not, but you must use vpn to access those sites of cryptocurrency that you need to make anonymous to the public, while for transaction, you have to make use of this popular chip mixer, that will totally block your transaction form becoming visible to anyone, so I think you must have the two applications at hand if you really don’t want any of your transaction and details to leak to the public or to the government. With those two things, you should be very rest assured that you are protected.

You can make a private transaction and to make sure not to make any trace by using a vpn and a tor browser because it will change your location and adresses for no one can detect or find your identity. But i think you don't need to make a private transaction in cryptocurrency because every transactions that you make is completely safe.

There is no coin which is completely anonymous and even the coins which say they are, will be certainly be traced at one point of time.
All we can do is prevent ourselves as much as we can from getting tracked.
To prevent from getting tracked  we can take precautions like using VPN and TOR browser and also a mixer service.

In addition to using Tor or VPNs, you can also get the raw transaction and use the block explorers to push or broadcast the transaction for you. It will get relayed by that block explorer, and the only IP address info they have is from Tor or your VPN, they usually won't even have any other login info or metadata.

Now, your inputs and addresses are visible for everyone to see, as well as the address you sent payment to. You could do some tumbling, mixing, or coin joining before that transaction and you'll probably be below the radar for your transaction.
