Title: An open source mixer
Post by: OmegaStarScream on February 23, 2017, 06:31:35 PM
It's probably the first mixing service that is open source right now. I was reading an article about it on DeepDotWeb If you guys are interested , It's called Penguin Mixer : https://www.deepdotweb.com/2017/02/23/penguin-mixer-review-tutorial/
I suppose the mixer is only available on the deep web right now but since It's open source , you shouldn't find an issue hosting your own If you have the needed resources.

Really good article with lots of information.
Unfortunately after checking a bit on google it's only possible to go through this mixer only through dark net. No problem for me, but many people here don't know or never accessed the dark net yet. It would be great if in a short amount of time this website was also on the clear net.

Does this site have a coin reserve to mix your coins with?
If there isn't enough to avoid sending coins you're sending, the service is pointless.

It surely must have a coin reserve, but after searching for information regarding their reserve it has not resulted in anything.

I found a reddit post from penguinmixer stating that users only can mix 2BTC per time because the site at that time (4 months ago) was still new according to penguinmixer.

I must say that I don't like the fact that they seem to store your mixing logs for 7 days. 24 hours is what I would consider to be the ultimate max as Bitmixer also happen to do.

OmegaSS and others following this thread

I would welcome any reviews anyone might have re this service, or links to sources that would have reviews.

Open Source mixing sounds like a great idea.  I'd be interested in a similar comment re the OPEN SOURCE CODE, if it indeed is solid (I don't program, "it's all Greek to me").

I think it is from same developer who have launched penguindice (open source dice site) few days ago. You can check about it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1784488.0 (Penguin dice ANN).

I haven't tried their mixer yet but their dice works smoothly.

I'm baffled with the degree of stupidity I'm seeing here :D open source what exactly? darkweb mentioned and people talking about google and accessible information after searching in search engines as if you don't know that dark web only is accessed if you have link and the domains aren't indexed publicly, believe me it's not a magical land requiring a magical portal to travel there :D
Next time please think a bit more before taking the dark web trolls words as a fact, what do you think BitMixer.io is doing? they don't have a secret program to do their mixing however they have their own automated system but it's not about being open or closed sourced as if you send your bitcoins to an open sourced mixer you never lose your coins? it's about credibility and trust not how it is executed.

It's not about how It is executed ? how could you tell for sure that BitLender for example is not logging the users information's for later use ? you don't. An open source project will add 100% trust , credibility as you could compile the source yourself and use it without worrying much.
I don't see what's the darkweb has anything to do with this because as long as you can actual browse the source code , then I see no problem here.
