Best Practices
This page intentionally stays short and links to concrete operational guides.
Users
- Start with Wallet, then Taker
- Prefer internal destinations (
INTERNAL) when building privacy across mixdepths - Run multiple rounds over time instead of one large single round
- Keep wallet backups offline (mnemonic is the critical backup)
Makers
- Prefer Bitcoin Core
descriptor_walletbackend for full compatibility - Run with Tor control enabled for ephemeral onion services
- Keep fees simple at first; tune only after observing market behavior
- Monitor logs and wallet balance regularly
Operators and Contributors
- Keep docs focused on defaults and working paths; avoid duplicate deep dives
- Prefer linking to one canonical page per topic
- Validate docs by running commands in a clean environment
