It looks like I could just donate to Tor, they show a bitcoin address:

https://donate.torproject.org/cryptocurrency/

Can anyone think of privacy risks to this, if I:

  • have zero change
  • only sent the dust UTXOs, nothing else

Sending them together is the highest privacy risk. Don't do that.

What if they're all on the same address?

Then it should be OK.

However...in thinking this through...

It doesn't really MATTER if I send the dust UTXOs to some donation address (assuming I follow the checks that I mentioned)...

IF...I then follow up by sweeping the ENTIRE old wallet, including the address that has been dust attacked, to a new set of addresses?

Because if they're following the old bitcoin address, if I were to send all the utxos in one transaction, they'd be linked?

So I should really just send the dust-attacked bitcoin address ALONE to new addresses?
