How exactly... by paying with Bitcoin?

And this is coming from a security-conscious company?

Unless I mined the Bitcoins myself, and never spent the remaining 12.45 BTC that I mined (after presumably spending 0.05 BTC on protonmail)... it is far from "Anonymous".

If they started accepting Zcash, however...

Monero would be a better option.

Care to elaborate?

I don't know a ton about Zcash or Monero, I only know that Zcash advertises and actually produces truly anonymous transactions (that the founders can unmask, or so I have read).

Is Monero anonymous as well? For every transaction? Or only specific ones (like Zcash).

Here's a really good explanation of RingCT: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/83/how-does-moner...
