Let me start over

Long story short, I jumped straight into the DNM with shitty opsec. I've been here quiet a while but before things get out of hand I want to get them under control. Basic info, I've using DNM off a labtop I also use for school, No tails on a drive. Just PGP and tor.(I know this is bad, thats why im stepping it up) . What would you recommend? I do have some important school files, etc, do you think I should wipe my entire computer? Any suggestions? Basically what I'm looking at:

Option 1) Erase all DNM related things off computer Install tails on encrypted drive New PGP New Accounts on DNM New Wallets

Option 2) WIPE & REINSTALL OS Install tails on encrypted drive New PGP New Account on DNM New Wallets

Unless you're some kind of new aged Al Capone. option one looks very promising. I'd go with that one.

I would say option 1 but also do full disk encryption on your school laptop.

Physical threat model safety 1. Install Veracrypt - make a hidden volume. 2. Install Oracle virtual box + install Xubuntu (Linux) os (you will need to learn some things about how to use Linux, that aplies if you Windows/Mac user.) 3. Place VM files into hidden and encrypted volume.

+Veracrypt password should be very strong so I would suggest to use program called xkeepass which will create random, difficult to crack (64 symbols) passwords . You will use generated password in for hidden volume (1) encryption. Xkeepass database copy to small sd card and hide it. Xkeepass database is encrypted by default.


Online anonimity 1.Install firefox on Xubuntu in VM. 2.Install CCleaner. 3.Install Java cookie cleaner. 4.With BTC buy a VPN subscription - https://www.deepdotweb.com/vpn-comparison-chart/ 5. Install VPN software/setup openvpn client (Vpn setup whould be in your Vpn homepage) 6.On firefox install WebRTC plugin and turn on it.
