How do I keep Bitcoins Anonymous?
- There are Hardware Wallets. What are your experiences? Are they safe?
- Which wallets can you recommend without ID verification?
- Are you using several Wallets?
 
1. GET A VPN + SOCKS use only them when you login in your Desktop or online wallet. (dekstop better)
2. Create a VM with electrum (Hardware wallet are better)
3. WALLET DONT NEED A ID, exchanger need verifications.

If using electrum, get a personal server so you don't use the public servers.

Also, no need for vpn or proxies, one can generate a btc address offline.
 
When he use any wallet which logs his IP (and i guess they all do) his coins arent anonymous any more.
 
Of course when he use a cheap one... . There are some on the market which 100% non logging.
There are also VPN - TOR - VPN solutions.

VPN server logs his IP too
Regarding the confusing replies in this thread:

No, IP addresses are not stored in the Blockchain, though it's noteworthy that by running many peer-to-peer clients you're able to catch (if you have a big portion of the active nodes) the IP address.
Motivated hackers with the necessary resources, government departments / agencies and/or other big entities might be able to do that, so yes without using a tool to disguise your IP-address you're vulnerable and might be traced back.

My question back to OP: Due to the way you're expressing yourself, it looks like you're trying to hide from authorities (avoiding uploading ID, veiling IP address, etc.) - do you think that's the smartest thing to do regarding your knowledge about the Blockchain and/or cryptos? If you're even too lazy to look some basic things up like those you asked in this forum, would you stand a chance against any kind of investigation?
Of course, that's just my assumption based on the wordings of OP's post.

I understand the VPN - TOR but what is the TOR - VPN?

Nobody said the IPs stores in blockchain, The IPs will be in nodes in p2p network and they usually logs IPs
 
For android samurai wallet
For desktop wasabi wallet

Both support coinjoin functionality and are open source, write down the backup and you should be good to go.

EDIT:
About hardware wallets
Some people like to use a piece of hardware which was custom designed for keeping cryptocurrency safe, rather than their phone or computer. These are something similar to a light wallets with a difference, your private key is not on your computer, it is in fact on this hardware wallet/device. They are also believed to be "most secure" as your device will be hardly hacked/ get a malware to expose your private key.

Where as wasabi and samurai are so called light wallets, they connect externally to the node in the bitcoin network to get the transaction info and to send the transaction but they keep Private Key on your computer/phone/tablet etc. as long as you take care on your device to be clean of malwares etc you should be safe, private key is encrypted and not in plain text for security reasons.

Connection via VPN to TOR and through TOR with VPN, thus the saying VPN - TOR - VPN, so that the last TOR instance get's hidden as well (slow as f*ck, just as quick side-note)

Didn't want to attack you or anybody quoted, just wanted to clear things up, as OP doesn't seem to be of best knowledge in this field :)

Actually thats really a bad setup. The last VPN server gets the TOR decrypted data and encrypt them on its own again. It means if some one get access to the last VPN server he can have many fingerprints and data about your activities. It looks like you wear 4 masks and then print your picture on a paper and attach it to the last mask :D.
TOR over VPN is what every one recommend.

It's not my suggestion, though I disagree with your explanation.
If first and last VPN server are different relays / provider, it isn't traceable as you described, unless I understood your explanation wrong. Said setup VPN - TOR - VPN, is safer than VPN - TOR, but actually doesn't make any sense due to the unhandy practicality.
