Crypto ATMs question, Please answer. : OpSec | Torhoo darknet markets

Hello dread community. I have a question regarding crypto ATMs. What kind of identifiable information can using a crypto ATM expose? Let's say that i use one that allows for "Anonymous" transactions under a certain price point (e.g no KYC, phone number, etc...) I plan to use one wearing a hoodie, sunglasses, and a hat just to somewhat avoid surveillance cameras and then send it to my electrum wallet that is running through Whonix. From that moment on, i plan to throw the Bitcoin into a BTC mixer and then using an exchange (like Infinity Exchanger for instance) exchange it into monero. Form that moment on i will use it for whatever i have to use it for.

So, what kind of information can potentially leak here? How safe is this from a scale of 1 to 10? Are there any better alternatives? Do i have to worry about my country getting leaked?

Edit 1: Thank you all for your answers, they were very helpful! I will take each one into consideration.

I've personally never heard of a "Anonymous" crypto ATM, 100% of these kinds of ATM's ive seen require some form of PII (id, number, etc..) why go through the process of wearing hats, hoodies, etc... when you can just do a p2p swap directly for xmr? me personally id stay very far away.

Depends on where you at they could be a thing.
I've used some personally and yeah if you observe some opsec measures as you said(some sort of disguise to obscure yourself a little) they are pretty safe.
Heed the other obviuous basics like not parking in front of the place where that machine is, etc.
Especially when you break the link somewhat after the machine sends the crypto to your private wallet created and only used over Tor.
I'd recommend going for LTC instead of directly buying BTC for the benefit of better fees and quicker confirmation times.
These BTC mixers are outdated shit, in general BTC should be avoided like the plague in 2025.
Then send that LTC from your private wallet to Trocador or some exchange from kycnotme in order to swap it for XMR.
You can use the onion addresses for these exchanges and then receive the swapped XMR in another private Feather wallet created over Tor.

Avoid coin mixers as they can look suspicious. Instead, exchange your funds for Monero on a reputable platform, and avoid sketchy sites like Infinity Exchanger.

To maintain anonymity, don't wear sunglasses indoors as it can look odd. Position yourself so that the crypto ATM's camera won't capture your face. Be mindful of other cameras in the area, and keep your head positioned away from them. If you want to avoid being identifiable, it will look less suspicious to wear a surgical mask than to wear sunglasses, and it will cover up more of your face.

For the phone number, use a temporary SMS service instead of a burner phone. Access the site from your phone using Tor or a VPN. Ensure your phone has a strong password, and avoid typing it near cameras. Delete the QR code immediately after use, or use your mobile wallet app's security features if you decide to have the wallet on your phone, which has it's own benefits such as knowing you successfully received it in the event you are doing multiple transactions, and the ability to generate multiple addresses. If you do multiple transactions to avoid KYC, do not try to reuse the same receiving address. If you want to be extra cautious, shut down your phone after use. If you want to be extra vigilant, be mindful of the fingerprints which may appear on your currency. These precautions are crucial to protect yourself if you're being watched and think the authorities could pull up at any moment.

If you're concerned about cell phone tracking, use a burner phone or keep your phone on airplane mode. Use public WiFi available at the crypto ATM to access the SMS website.

The risk? The cash is not anonymous mate. Every fucking banknote has its unique identifier and it is being traced everywhere with a very high precision. But you guys know that hopefully ;)
