When I go and get some cash from the cash point, I can be tracked like this as well. In my opinion, we need to stay anonymous when sending and receiving money to others; but with real cash, my bank knows everything how much money I take, too.

With real cash, your bank may know how much money you take, but they don't know what you're doing with it. Can you take real cash to the post office and buy money orders? You may lose the convenience of on-line shopping, but you get some privacy back. What are you willing to trade off, and

Security cameras in the stores where you purchase the bitcoins, or something that translates into them later.

I triet to install the GNU/Linux version of Electrum, but I couldn't figure how to get it to work, so I downloaded the Windows version to run in Wine, but I noticed that there were files like Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest, and msvcm90.dll in the Electrum directory. Are files like this nonfree?

Yes, you can set up a proxy for pool mining which means you can probably just use the tor service as a proxy for mining. It might be a bit slow but I believe that would work. After searching up a bit on using tor for mining bitcoins, it turns out you can and there are even tor exclusive

This might make it more difficult to trace although not impossible. If you do the mining yourself there is no link (correct me if I'm mistaken).

You are correct about the cameras being able to track people, which I was going to mention in my first reply but decided not to because it seemed far-fetched. I'm sure it is possible though. If you do the mining yourself, there is likely no way to link it back to you, unless your ISP

That is the cost of the device- apparently the price dropped. You can still find it for over $250 USD... That said I'm not sure how many BTC it produces. You may need a boatload of these to make any real money from them. However it could be useful if you want to create an anonymous source
