I need to make an intraceable and anonymous Dash payment.
My idea is to buy XMR in a popular Exchange, then exchange it within Exodus and send payment directly from Exodus
Do you know then if you exchange XMR to Dash with Exodus and if I send the payment directly if it will be totally untraceable and anonymous?
Or do you recommend others steps?
First of all, you need to take into account that Dash is not anonymous by default; in order to make a private payment, you have to enable a special feature called privatesend. When you use this feature, your transaction goes through some sort of mixing process which allows for hiding the source of funds. However, given that private features are optional and used only by those who want to preserve their privacy, the anonymity set is not as big as it might be. In short, you can't hide in the crowd like in the case of Bitcoin. Your transactions in Dash are therefore very obvious and easily traceable.
Secondly, buying something on a centralized exchange is the worst thing you can do for your privacy. They will collect everything about you and your transactions, including IP addresses, email addresses, your system information, etc. They will know your XMR address and probably even the wallet you used to withdraw your coins. It is also possible that they will look closely at those who are buying Monero and will try to trace those transactions more carefully. If you want privacy and anonymity, avoid centralized exchanges at all costs.
