1. world building - history, background, evidence to support the persona, setting up a layered defense adds more security
   sub aliases are great but be careful not to contaminate data
2. don't share operational details, your friends will betray you
3. be paranoid, this doesn't work retroactively
4. move onto new personas after enough activity is generated
5. Personal information can and will be used to profile you

cryptonyms aliases
contamination occurs when two separate personas come in contact with one another

• bitcoin is anonymous but not private, transactions can be traced

It is critical to connect to the network through TOR before a VPN, otherwise the VPN will identify the end node linked to the user.
