In JoinMarket, it’s all public on the blockchain. Takers and makers interact, but makers might leave a trail of funds movement.

But if you use CoinJoin, you can prove the funds were yours initially. Show the exchange access to your wallets and they’ll see the trail.

Yeah, you could. If your coins come from places that track transactions, they’ll flag anything suspicious.

Yeah, there’s still a risk. When swapping BTC for something else, like XMR, you might end up with coins from dodgy sources later.

Best way to handle KYC coins? Sell 'em back to an exchange and buy from a no-KYC option like Bisq. That way, your account gets cleared.

After digging deeper, I’m thinking of skipping Monero and mixers to avoid future issues with proof of funds. What about atomic swaps? Do they work the same way?

Wouldn’t it be smarter to bridge different cryptos instead?

I’m pretty new to Lightning and heard it’s better for privacy. Can you actually un-KYC your bitcoins using Lightning? Or is Monero still the better pick?
