Metamask or Kraken or Binance - what's best?

[latindev]

When you send a⁤ transaction to a node without matter the wallet you use, the node provider will know⁣ your IP, you address, your balances and the transactions. It's called public information for a⁢ reason... The only way public information is not known by others, is by not using︀ blockchain in the first place 😉.

Now, if you mean they are honeypots because they︁ save your addresses so they can show you stats and your overall balance I have︂ bad news for you... 99% of wallets use RPC providers which all of them are︃ also aggregators and by consequence they also save that information because is where those wallets︄ take the information from.

Public information without PII is worthless btw

When I go over the reviews of Kraken , it must be a horrible company,‌

cant believe they got the most votes so far ..😵

That must be an attack, there's plenty of reviews mentioning "recovery services". Kraken has⁠ the best customer support in existence.

@OP, Kraken for on and off ramping fiat.
Binance - KuCoin - OKX for shitcoins.
Exodus for a wallet (or build your own like⁤ some have).

don't know how about trustpilot reviews however for me Kraken is by far the⁠ most trustworthy player in the whole industry - fast and sensible support, very predictable customer⁤ experience, no glitches - after all those years I can only recommend

So if I use Wasabi wallet, or Electrum wallet over︂ Tor or Electrum Personal Server will anyone know my IP address? No.

Also the difference︃ between Ledger Live and for example a classic "monocoin" wallet is that the latter will︄ only know your balance of said coin whereas Ledger Live will know the balances of︅ all the coins you hold. You basically centralize all the informations in one place, hence︆ the honeypot reference that was made (and also when you bought your ledger with your︇ real identity, they probably got your IP address so they can match it with the︈ one in Ledger Live and now they can match all your balances with a real︉ identity).

Like I said‍ it's public information and believe it or not it will eventually be known, if not⁠ then read why the FBI has been able to get the IP from people using⁤ Tor multiple times (either by exploits, connecting activities or using internal Tor nodes)... But of⁣ course I don't think they will spend their resources in getting your few hundreds on⁢ BTC so at that point it's the same as you using a wallet that has︀ an aggregator behind (using a local node to send the transaction is not relevant in︁ the example I gave)

Full anonymity on the internet is a myth.
