It's not a long story really.
Just made my first purchase on the dark market ever, but noticed after the fact that I had javascript enabled.
The order was placed on Catharsis market with the link copied from the darkmarket superlist, with the purchase being made using XMR.
The Monero I paid with was acquired the following way: On my home network, no VPN, I purchased BTC on Kraken.com using my debit card (extremely KYC obviously), which I then sent to an Electrum wallet. This was then sent to Eigenwallet (formerly UstoppableSwap) where a swap from BTC to XMR was carried out. Then from Eigenwallet to monero GUI, on local node. From this wallet I sent some of the funds to another monero GUI wallet that I set up and only used on Tails. Lastly, this final wallet was the one from which the funds that were used directly in the illicit transaction came from. The last wallet, however, ran a remote node that I had discovered from a link listed on the monero subtforum. Again, all same device. I reasoned that since the final transaction is forced to be routed through TOR due to Tails, it wouldn't matter if I was on my home network or at a random McDonald's. Probably ill conceived, and I want to know all of what I did wrong.
Please give all the scrutiny you can. I welcome it for my own sake, as I'm still very new to all this.
