Hm. Food for thought. Chances of these scenarios seems less likely than an central exchange getting hacked, but definitelt not negligible.
configure wasabi,
Last I checked coinjoins had fees too.
So effectively,
Buy on exchange (0%) -> swap (0.5%) -> coinjoin (fee depends on coordinator?) -> reverse swap (0.5%) /open channel (miner fee) -> swap into cold storage (0.5)
Looks like it could be close to 4% or 5% with more leg work when its all said and done.
I guess with some inbound liquidity you can send directly from the exchange to your node and swap to cold storage with reasonable privacy. That's probably ideal, again, only if you're okay with exchanges having your coordinates
No you just on-chain transfer into cold storage. LN is what you use on the way out of cold storage, but not through swap but you simply fund a channel. Boltz does mixing checks so you only want to use them to offramp from LN. For onramp, just find a cheap counterparty on Amboss.
Edit: My last round of mixing (at 2-5 sat/vb) cost me ~0.3% in fees in total. So 0.5% for boltz + 0.3% for mixing = 0.8%... LN fees plus - unless you're unlucky - tx fees out, won't add .2% there if you're using Msat denominations... so under 1%.

This makes sense. 8% seems like a lot in comparison when you put it that way.
Then you're just spending sats or p2p trading for fiat if needed.
Still I don't like the coerced identification that central exchange require.

Me neither. In 2014 or 2015 kraken asked me to take a picture of myself with my ID in hand focusing on face and ID. I told them to gfy.
Don't like being treated like a Nigerian prince.
