Crypto notes for darknet market research

Coin choice will not fix a broken OS — but transparent ledgers make sloppy deposits easy to study later.

• Bitcoin — still accepted widely; treat mixers as incomplete patches
• Deposit-first wallets — balances sit with the platform; minimize idle funds in any study model
