friendly reminder: using a high XMR priority fee can make your transaction stand out!
use the default/automatic fee whenever you can. it makes your tx blend in with the crowd but you still almost always get included in the next block.
i wish more wallets explained this
yes, XMR transactions are still private.
your tx won't be de-anonymized by using a high fee. but using the automatic fee mitigates fingerprinting and heuristics.
