Privacy practices for BLURT trades

Blurt is Vigilante Trading's coordination chain — orders, chat ciphertexts, fees, and reputation all live here. The chain is fully public and account-based, meaning every BLURT transfer involving your account is permanently visible to anyone. There is no opt-in privacy technology on Blurt.

Use a fresh address every trade

This chain is account-based — your account name is your address. Fresh-account-per-trade is not practical (each new account costs chain resources). Accept that this asset has the highest amount-correlation risk on Vigilante Trading. For high-value trades, consider using an alt-account dedicated to that trade.

Universal practices

**Use a fresh receive address for every trade.** Your wallet should support this; if it doesn't, look for one that does. Address reuse is the single biggest leak.

**Practice coin control when spending.** When sending coins later, avoid combining the trade output with coins from another source — that combines their address histories permanently.

**Broadcast through Tor or your wallet's privacy mode.** Your home IP address sees the transaction first; nodes near your IP can correlate it to you. A Tor-aware wallet broadcasts through Tor by default.

**Avoid sending trade coins to or from KYC exchanges.** Once trade coins touch a KYC exchange, the trade becomes legally identifiable by combining exchange records with chain data. If you need to bridge to fiat, route through a self-custodied intermediate step.

What to avoid

  • Do not paste your same receive address into multiple trades.
  • Do not send the exact amount listed on the order — Vigilante Trading's amount-randomizer toggle (the "🔐 Randomize amount" checkbox in the address-share modal) breaks this; leave it ON.
  • Do not combine the trade output with coins from a different source when you later spend it.
  • Do not broadcast from your home IP via a non-private wallet — use Tor.

⚠ Caveats specific to this asset

BLURT is structurally the least private asset on Vigilante Trading. Your account name is your address; you cannot rotate it. For trades where on-chain privacy matters more than speed and cost, prefer XMR, BTC (with PayJoin), BCH (with CashFusion), LTC (with MWEB), or DASH (with PrivateSend).

Vigilante Trading does NOT recommend specific wallet software. Even reputable wallets have been compromised or have had hidden flaws. The privacy techniques here are protocol standards, not endorsements — your wallet, your responsibility.
