Is there also⁣ any additional advantage of using an OS like tails to not leave any traces? I⁢ do not know how much fingerprinting can impact the secrecy?

Tails was discussed a few times already, it is indeed a great way putting up‌ an extra security layer on your cyber privacy. I use tails on an USB device.‍

There is a great article which I learned from in mentor group gold
https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/th...ts-everything-you-do-introducing-tails.31842/

Before that I didn't knew about it. Even the article is old it is still valid⁠ and a amazing guide for setting it up.

Tails really⁣ is amazing, but reading the previous posts here in the thread and that way chain⁢ analysis was performed in the link suggests that using tails would have no impact for︀ Monero. Am I wrong?

The advantage of using Tails is that your computer can’t be traced, and if you‌ set up at an internet café or a public library, you’re invisible online as long‍ as you wear a hoodie and maybe even a fake beard. The transactions themselves, of⁠ course, can still be tracked and have nothing to do with Tails.

But if you use a VPN or run your own node, the IP⁤ cannot be connected to you. Is there still an advantage of using Tails for Monero⁣ transactions?

I would recommend you to read this thread - it went totally off from the‌ securing of the lenovo to securing your entire cyber life 😀 But it is good reading‍ and can answer some of your questions.

Tails might be a good choice if you don't want to run⁠ your own node. You could just connect to a remote node and your identity would⁤ be concealed by Tor. Double check that though as I have never used XMR on⁣ tails.

Yes tails is less susceptible to fingerprinting so would be better for privacy.
