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_wallet backend 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
