Made first use of my electrum wallet recently and worked smoothly.
Just have a security question:
Prior to depositing a large amount of BTC into my wallet in case something went wrong and they would be left floating in space, I deposited .01 BTC. The only place I had coins was my SR wallet leftover from a purchase, so I used those coins. I did not run the .01 coin thru a tumbler, I just sent it from SR to one of my 5 electrum addresses. After this test I bought my coins thru bitinstant and deposited them into my wallet and they arrived there just fine. I then used bitcoin fog to tumble all of the coins before sending them on to SR.
Did I make a mistake in sending the .01 BTC to my wallet from SR to test that it would work? Should I scrap this wallet and install a new one or so long as I don't use the address I used to test depost, is there nothing to worry about?
I just don't know if making the test deposit from SR is creating a link to the wallet from SR, I imagine it is. If there is a traceable link from SR to my electrum wallet because of that test deposit, could there then also be a traceable link from SR to the method of the deposits made with the other BTCs that I continue to deposit in through bitinstant?
thanks for any insight you can offer!
