I know I'm not so popular here, but I think I figured out how to beat needing to tumble from circle.

I'm no block explorer expert or anything (BBMC, work your black magic and verify this)

But I just send a small transaction through mycelium wallet routed through tor, and I don't know if it uses an intermediate wallet or what, as I only looked for moments in astonishment, but I could not find MY sending address instead it showed a totally different funding source.

Maybe something to look into or a more BTC savvy person could educate me on why I am very very wrong?

You can't send coins from an address that isn't yours. That's fundementally how bitcoin works. Trace back the transaction one more step back and you'll find your address.

I've never tumbled from circle or used an intermediate wallet (I know I should at least do that), and never had any problems.

Mycelium wallet "groups" lots of wallet addresses and rotates which it sends from. Sending through TOR makes no difference, because bitcoins don't flow through the darknet or the clearnet.

They don't move outside a file called "the blockchain" - because "bitcoins" don't exist!

Thinkl of the blockchain as a big chal;kboard with everybody's bar tab on it. If I pay you 1 btc, 1 id subtracted from my tab, and 1 is added to the number in your bar tab.

Its as if 1btc moved from my "wallet" to yours. But nothing moved at all. Its an accounting exercise. Bitcoins don't flow like emails or ip packets, or live in a steel bank vault. A "wallet" is just a program or application which allows you to pay and receive bitcoin in your pgeonhole on the blockchain.

"Cold storage" is just a bitcoin wallet that is on a switched off computer - or no computer
