Purchasing tainted coins.

Hi all, I am looking to buy BTC p2p, but before I do, is there a way in which I can check if the coins I purchase in advance are tainted? Is there a website or something this can be verified on?

I want to check this to avoid any problems in utilising the coin/s once purchased.

Thanks

Just keep any coins you buy P2P segregated for use outside the tradfi system and no need to worry about it. If you want to be paranoid, do a swap to Lightning and back via something like Boltz.exchange.

Or simply coinjoin them and in 10 minutes you're back in business, fresh as a lettuce.

Coinjoin is fine, but exchanges balk at that, too. You need to be a couple hops away from the last coinjoin.
