No, I don&#x27;t do this all the time. I didn&#x27;t even make this throwaway account in an obfuscated way.<p>This procedure will only be used for things that I really don&#x27;t want traced back to me. I&#x27;m not a blackhat or drug dealer, but I&#x27;d still prefer these activities not be associated with me.<p>The only tedious bits are preparing the burner laptop&#x27;s OS for compartmentalization and encrypted&#x2F;anonymous internet connection (both, not one or the other). Once the machine is set up and I have a suitable amount of bitcoin and the VPN set up I don&#x27;t need to repeat those processes for months or a year.<p>However, I really like the idea of getting prepaid data with cash and exclusively using a mobile hotspot. I also like the idea of simply building a computer for this purpose and buying all the components separately.
