    Hi,

    your thoughts gentlemen.

    When using NymVPN, the Tor Network with Mini Mailer
    and "seced" or "yubicrypt", compared to a multi-hop
    Omnimix...what kind of traces does your PC leave on
    your SSD?

    Honest answers please.

    I don't have a clue about SS drives, but here is a program I've used for
    years to search my standard disks for stuff I didn't want Windows to
    capture.

    http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/dskinv.html

    It finds anything, but it cannot remove what is there. I don't worry
    too much about that. Any really important stuff I keep encrypted and
    never copy/paste it. Passwords is what I check for with Disk
    Investigator. If somehow one has been captured by Windows, DI will find
    it. I then change the password to that account.

    It's limited, but handy.

    Mini Mailer with NymVPN and seced is the better choice
    because it leaves no traces on the online computer that
    cannot be 100% securely deleted from an SSD. That's why
    D and some others are against Mini Mailer, and these
    lousy guys swear by OmniMix because they still revel in
    the old days and can't move with the times, even though
    they know that Mini Mailer is more modern and can also
    use the classic remailer networks with outfiles from
    air-gapped PCs to leave no traces on the online PC.

    To sum it up, use Mini Mailer and forget OmniMix.
