This is the place where I lost OP. How can anybody be blackmailed with publicly available info?
On the topic: I believe that the serious level of anonymity makes life extremely inconvenient and uncomfortable. Always using VPNs, keeping small hosts in different places as exit points, checking and rechecking everything when connecting to WiFi or roaming. Keeping separate hardware, for that matter.
I don't see how all this parafernalia justified. Identity stealing? Just use 2FA for your key service accounts. Don't reuse passwords, use a password manager - those are today's basics every schoolchild knows. Use debit card instead of credit and never keep it's balance above $100. Turn on 3D-security on all your cards. Don't get involved into drug dealing. Things like this.
