say someone asked you to open your wallet and asked you where your funds came from, can you just say that you mined it? since XMR cant be trace afaik

I would like to add that if you actually have XMR in a wallet that you got from mining, and you never moved those funds before, you CAN confirm that those funds came from mining. In fact, the GUI wallet will show a symbol indicating that it came from mining (what's called a "coinbase" transaction).

However you could just say that you moved the funds from the mining wallet to this other wallet, but then I will ask again: Show me the mining wallet that got those mining transactions.

thats actually genius, you can just say that your computer got infected before, and move all the funds to new wallet and burned the old one just to be all safe then it cant be track anymore? is that what you trying to say?
