How NOT to use Zcash:
▶️ Shield a large amount. Split it into 3 equal withdrawals. Send them all to the same address within 2 hours.
This pattern appeared on-chain. 81 ZEC entered the shielded pool. Shortly after, 3 withdrawals of 27.0002 ZEC each went to a single transparent address.
The shield didn't help. Identical amounts, tight timing, one recipient, that's a traceable pattern even without seeing inside the pool.
If you're going to use the shielded pool, use it properly:
▶️ Don't withdraw in equal chunks
▶️ Don't reuse the same recipient address
▶️ Don't rush, time is your friend
▶️ Keep your ZEC shielded
The shielded pool protects you. Predictable behavior undoes it.
