Create a primary address, then receiving address
After you got enough, send from receiving address using mixer (like bitmixer.io) to your primary address Wink

just use mixing service to loose your bitcoin track
no one will find your real address
another option is using trustworthy exchange to hide your bitcoin chain of transactions
good luck with your donations

Suppose I want to share my public key for donations, but the problem is everyone can see how many btc I have. Suppose I create a second account for donations but now people can see where all the btc goes from there and cunclude it's my address. How to share a public key and still hide my savings?

When you keep the same address for donations, people are always able to see how much donations you received. You need to change the donation address frequently to mask that. If you want to hide you savings, the easiest way is to use the donation address for spending only.

So, my ultimate recommendation:

Provide 2 options:

1 bitcoin address for donations, where you'd do whatever has been described above to try and keep it as traceless as possible

1 monero address for donations, because if someones really concerned with traceability they'd use a cryptocurrency with actual privacy features

and, I guess I should put it in here too to be fair, 1 darkcoin address because darkcoins all the rage these days


of course you'd have to deal with exchanging the alts for bitcoin (or deciding to hold them), but yeah.

monero

what? did someone say something?

Yeah, I just wanted to not be the first to bring this into discussion.
And strangely, though both (BTC and XMR) prices are falling, usual people (not me) feel more confortable to work with BTC.

Donation wallet - localbitcoin - sell the coins - localbitcoin - buy back the coins. You pay the spread and incur some losses but all that would hide yourself

You have a lot of possibilities here , one of them is to generate different Bitcoin adresses for donation for each time someone want to donate for you . another one is like sending  your Bitcoins daily or weekly or whatever to another Bitcoin adress using mixer .

donation wallet => any crypto currency exchange (poloniex, bittrex, hitbtc, ... name it) => (trade) buy a stable altcoin with low transaction fees (dogecoin?) => transfer that altcoin to another exchange => (trade) that altcoin back to bitcoin => send it to your main wallet.

Why transfering back and forth to an altcoin?

Any other method has a chance to get to this:
Your Public Address => Intermediate (Exchange?) address => Your "private" address
which means it's not the private anymore.

With my method, from outside anyone will see:
Your Public Address => Exchange address => money spent.
Some other exchange address (altcoin) => Address for same altcoin on different exchange (nobody will track / care about that)
Some address nobody cares about (your BTC address on 2nd exchange) => Your private address (again, nobody will track that).


If you are a drug dealer or such, I just saved your butt, so I'd expect a generous tip. My public address is in profile.

Plainly genius my friend. No one will care about an address from an exchange to another address. Traceable, but not that easy.

Easy. Mix your coins with different addresses and point it out to your main address. If you want to have an address for public donation, just generate a new one and mix your coins as well.

Give every donor a different address to send to.

Then nobody will know how much you received. They'll only be able to see their own transaction to you.

Donation wallet => exchange => your real wallet.

Don't you pay fees when you send and take from exchange?

If you want to hide your coins sufficiently it's going to cost you a little bit. You can send them to any other website such as a dice site or exchange or mixer then send them back to a new address but this is the only real way you can do it.

This will incur much more 'fees' but it'd be virtually impossible to track.

Or you can use blockchain.info's Shared Send option which is almost free but less protected.

You need to decide how much you need to hide your main account and most probably the price/fee will go accordingly.

Yea, that's the only catch. But most exchanges aren't that expensive.
