Electrum 2.9 to 3.X upgrade with coins in wallet & buying bitcoin at low cost

Squad, I need your help. I have Electrum 2.9 on tails & need to update to 3.x to enable segwit support. I have some coins already in my (2.9) wallet & need to buy coins & combine them for a purchase I need to make today.

I would also love input on the cheapest & fastest place to buy bitcoin bc I would need to convert it to a more anonymous coin & back to BTC. You all are smart enough to read between the lines on what's going on, but figured this is the best sub for it.

LBC premium fees are way higher than they use to be!

Thank you!

Electrum 3 works on tails. You just download it, move it to your persistance folder, open up a terminal in the folder and type in python3 electrum

Keep in mind while you can send funds to the markets, you cannot transfer funds back to your new segwit wallet as the markets dont recognize the bc1 addresses. You can still of course use your old regular non-segwit address to transfer funds back.

Use Monero.
