Title: ➡️➡️ [ANN] | [banned mixer] | BITCOIN MIXER ⬅️⬅️
Post by: tumbler.io on September 20, 2023, 12:30:00 PM

Just looking to the future. Anonymize your payments and savings!

With the advent of cryptocurrencies, everyone dreamed of decentralization and anonymity, as Nakamoto bequeathed. But in recent years, anonymous currencies have been losing their positions on leading cryptocurrency exchanges, and the volumes of decentralized exchanges have been seriously falling since their appearance. Often pseudo-decentralized projects, when studied in detail, unfortunately, give themselves away as not decentralized. Our project is not decentralized, but it helps to solve one very important issue. It helps you to own your Bitcoin savings anonymously, as well as pay for the services you need and invest anonymously as well.

You should know that it is the best product that looks traditional at first glance, but it has hidden potential, which is successfully realized with your support. It is suitable for a much larger number of people than you might imagine: on the project pages you will learn about fresh ideas for using this mixer, because many do not guess where and under what circumstances you can use such a service.

Why does the next bitcoin mixer appear in 2023? A truly working tool will never interfere with the community in reality, in which there has not yet been support for the anonymity of bitcoin transactions in the bitcoin blockchain itself.

Why do you need to use [banned mixer]? Everyone makes their own choice. [banned mixer] attentively and seriously treats the simplest, at first glance, issues, and works out complex issues, decomposing them into simple ones to solve in detail. Below, in the thread, answers to all your questions about the work of the project will appear.

Advantages of the project:

- support 24x7
- easy to use, familiar and intuitive interface with lots of hints
- a convenient assistant Anonymizing Meter
- support of up to ten receiving addresses
- a calculator that allows you not only to accurately understand the amount of the commission paid, but also to control the amounts sent
- reasonable service fee
- absolute safety and reliability
- zero-logs policy, the service never stores any users personal info
- all sources for mixing are under full control of the service, including premium level funds
- Tumbler code is encrypted and formed a new after each mixing

 ;) Expect Testers Reviews Discussion with interesting conditions for testers.

Be careful with clones and always use only the following addresses:

I am already doing quick testing myself, and I can say that clearnet address is not working for me after trying with several different browsers.
Onion address works, but I didnt do anything much except browsing the content, checking out fee and faq page.

After the creation of the order, you will see the minimum and maximum amount for the transaction, which is from 0.001 up to 100 BTC. In case you sent us less than the minimum, that would be concerned that a donation. In case you would like to mix a higher amount, please feel free to contact us through the support form, and we will answer you as soon as possible.
Can you confirm that you actually own 100 BTC by signing an address?

I can't open the clearnet browser like post above, say: 429 Too Many Requests. but it's okay on the Onion browser.
So, it says captcha on step 1, but I didn't go through that step but went straight to step 2, Looks like the website isn't ready yet.
the service fee doesn't seem very competitive like another mixer, the minimum is 1%.

Indeed, incorrect information is stated in the FAQ, at the moment the system limit for mixing is  temporarily reduced up to 10 bitcoins, you could see that when creating a new order, as well as when downloading a letter of guarantee. In the future, the mixing limit will be raised to the figures stated in the FAQ section.

No, I don't think it's a good idea to show anyone the addresses with the balances of the system, it's not a cryptocurrency exchange.

I was surprised too. Immediately after the publication of the first post and 15 views, the project received 15 million requests. Obviously, the traditions of new projects meeting at the forum are as follows. Free stress test. The attack has not stopped. The system holds up, and that's fine.
As for social networks, if I made such a decision, the links will appear on the site.

The captcha is not always activated and highlighted. The system works correctly. You can continue mixing.

There is a letter of guarantee for this. Anyone can prove mixing if needed. Never has the confirmation of funds capacity showed the reliability of the project.

Thanks to all the customers who have already started using [banned mixer], and, of course, to those who carried out a DDoS attack on the system.
This experience helped to optimize the service and make it more secure. At the moment, the DDoS attack has ended after 3 unsuccessful attempts.
At the moment, the system has extensive functionality and provides reasonable conditions on the market:

- minimum service fee: 0.4% (0.2% in case of max discount)
- network fee: 0.0002 BTC
- minimum amount: 0.001 BTC
- payment delay: from 0 to 72 hours
- up to 10 addresses for payment
- extended discount system
- letter of guarantee

You are welcome to try [banned mixer]!

Hello, I just came from your review campaign and found that you offer LIFETIME DISCOUNT

Since users will review a mixing service which enhances privacy, using LIFETIME DISCOUNT is bad for privacy as it can easily link all your current and future addresses, inputs and outputs, it's just like sharing a master public key.

Therefore, I am asking about the TUMBLER CODE as described on the site:

Quote
After each mixing operation the system generates a new TUMBLER CODE for you. We use a TUMBLER CODE to be sure that you will not get your funds back. The same code is used for the discount system. Please, keep it for your next orders and discounts. Notice that after each mixing, the TUMBLER CODE is new.


You claim to delete logs, but won't this code serve as a tool to track user transactions after deleting logs? and how can you be sure of this without revealing his inputs?

Before anything I would say welcome to Bitcointalk, a forum like no other where you can expect scrutiny from users with crypto awareness and always looking out for loopholes to fix/better a service and a whole lot of others that would be out for what they could benefit off these loopholes.

With your announcement came attention and haven’t visited the site, I must say I noted as Hugeblack on the log, code and lifetime reward. Clarifying that would speak loudly as to handling input and output data with respect to code linking, input/output handling and and the reward system.

Also, while this might blend,
Quote
Save your bitcoins from confiscation with the bitcoin tumbler
Bitcoins are mostly seized for fraudulent practices, crimes, and administrative breaches. If your coins are connected to any criminal activities, it’s bye-bye to your all so precious coins. It’s that simple!

I would like to flip the above and put the bottom ahead of the first statement like this;
Quote

This is just to paint a picture am getting and in no way to twist things but, a matter of clarification.

This gives the statement at my end, an arms open for transactions that fits into that category.

Am well aware that even without stating, those are some of the transactions that comes seeking mixing services and mixers can’t really differentiate which coins are legitimate or not as is the nature of bitcoin but, claim as in quote seems like such a bold move.

Just know that no mixer has ever given a satisfactory answer to this question. The first time I saw it asked, the mixer closed shortly after this question was asked.

As you have noticed, there is a discount system in [banned mixer] bitcoin mixer and at the same time, this mixer does not actually store any information about the amounts of deposits of its customers.

How does it work? Now I will try to explain everything from the beginning and without technical details...

All bitcoin mixers that do not use coinjoin technology use mixer codes. This is a necessary functionality so that their customers do not get their own coins back when they mix again.

When creating a new order, the system generates an address for the deposit and marks this address with a unique key - mixer code.
The client makes a deposit to this address and receives his unique mixer code.
In case of repeated mixing, he applies his mixer code, and the system excludes for payments all addresses that were used for the deposit by this client earlier.

If the bitcoin mixer uses a discount system, then, besides the mixer codes directly, the system must also store the total amount of all deposits for each individual mixer code!

Obviously, this is absolutely unacceptable and impermissible!

Why? Because under some unfortunate circumstances, the mixer database with all its codes created during the entire operation of the system will get into open access. Such a situation will disclose the following information to third parties:

- the total amount of all deposits during the entire operation of the system
- the total amount of all deposits for each mixer code - each client (after all, an ordinary bitcoin mixer needs to know what amount of discount each client should receive)

Therefore, even if the bitcoin mixer declares that its system deletes all logs, critical information about the total amount of deposits in the system for each client will remain.

Not very good... Hmm, but how does it work with [banned mixer]?

Everything is simple. [banned mixer] does not store information about its clients' deposits. All information is stored and encrypted in the tumbler code itself :)

simplified form
Tumbler Code = Reverse Encryption Algorithm ( Deposit key + Total amount )

That's why the tumbler code is updated after each mixing: updated information about the client's total deposit is sewn into it and securely encrypted.

After the client enters his tumbler code, [banned mixer] system will decrypt it, extract a tag from it that is associated with the addresses of his past deposits, extract the total amount of deposits and thus be able to use the discount system, risking nothing. Using this method, [banned mixer] system does not need to save any long-term logs, as it presumably happens in most mixing services that use short mixer codes and discount systems (based on logic and mathematics).

As for deposit address tags, in practice, these tags are stored in the system for no more than 7 days, since during this period all deposit addresses will be used by other users and "dust" is moved from the system.

The system deletes all information about orders 24 hours after the successful completion of the task, and all correspondence with the support service after 48 hours. The customers themselves store tumbler codes. Deposit address tags are all that remain in the system. And even this information is automatically deleted after a short time.

I don't seem to have forgotten anything. I will be glad to answer all your questions.

My search in the browser is also the same as the post above, the name [tumbler io] without typing the [.] sign that I entered is in fourth place. This shows that SEO accuracy is still weak.

Your answer is too simple. After I visited the tumber.io site, it didn't seem like it would take long because the web display wasn't too heavy.

I don't seem to have forgotten anything. I will be glad to answer all your questions.
I have provided a detailed review of this service here ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467984.msg62904448#msg62904448 , including above question and some suggestions.

1)after testing the service, I think you need to review the Tumbler Code. I did not use this code and made two shuffles after about 10 minutes. I got my coins from the same address I deposited to.

1) I did not find on the site what would happen if someone sent to the same old address after more than 24 hours, just a warning not to send.

3) You also need to look at the withdrawal fees as they are high. I do not know if it applies to all cases, but it is the experience of a user who has tried the service three times.

Other than that, everything is great and I enjoyed the experience.

The  [banned mixer] Bitcoin Mixer Review#1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467984.100)  that was recently launched shows interesting results!

The testers team gathered by Royce777 is really professional.

There are some ideas that have already been implemented in hot pursuit, there are some shortcomings that have been identified, and they have already been fixed, there are moments where the testers themselves for some reason could not figure out the functionality.
I will wait for all 20 reviews to appear and show in the final post all the suggestions.
There are really interesting ideas, implementing which will take time.
For example, several people mentioned the lack of a night mode and, voila, it has already been implemented. Use it with pleasure!

I will definitely share all my thoughts after appearing of all the reviews!

To be honest, user interface looks so good that I don't want to leave your website. Everything looks so nice, well-organized and colors are so well-chosen, it makes me calm when I scroll down and move on different pages. Great job! I hope that's not only me who feels like that but I really am captivated with this.

By the way, why you use mixer codes over coinjoin? What is the advantage/disadvantage? By the way, as I see, you offer so called premium level coins in exchange of higher fees. What if I send coins from wallet X to your mixer, choose Premium Level and deposit mixed coins directly on centralized exchange like Binance and Coinbase and then they mess up with me because their blockchain analyses partner company detected that coins are not clean. Let's imagine this case, what will happen in situation like this? Do you offer guarantee for premium coins on top exchanges like Binance and CB? I'm just curious.

If you recognise constructive criticism and suggestions, then the review campaign can be considered effective. I have seen that some suggestions are repeated by several users, which is an obvious sign that it is important.
I forgot to emphasize in the review that you need more activities on other channels. Twitter and Telegram are probably mandatory, you are currently completely inactive there. Given that all your chat logs from support are deleted after 24 hours, then a network like Telegram is really necessary for more efficient support.

I just want to ask how a lifetime discount works, including how to redeem it and whether it involves a code. I'm asking because I'm one of the participants in the signature design contest and there are only three people who submitted an entry to the contest. This means that if the reward for the contest doesn't change, I'll be rewarded with a 40% lifetime discount for your service.

Also I see the terms from the contest:

Quote
When you apply you automatically agree that : ..Transferring the discount code that you receive to third parties and their subsequent generations is prohibited...

Does this mean I can't sell the code or give it away too (Just to make it clear)?

By the way, why you use mixer codes over coinjoin? What is the advantage/disadvantage?

If I've understood your question correctly, it seems to be more along the lines of "why opt for the traditional mixing method instead of coinjoin?"
One of the primary reasons is that the coinjoin scheme itself is fairly transparent and tends to attract the attention of systems analyzing transactions, making it challenging to break away from existing patterns. Additionally, coinjoin transactions are quite rare; not every block contains such transactions. This makes it easier for interested companies to extract and analyze these specific transactions.
At the same time, traditional mixers can accommodate almost any type of transaction, such as the most popular and straightforward ones like "One-to-One" and "One-to-Two". In other words, the most frequently occurring combinations in blocks are precisely what traditional bitcoin mixers opt for, because the broader the transaction slice, the more challenging it becomes to analyze.
Another reason for choosing the classic system is that, with the right setup, one can achieve a high "Privacy score result for the transaction." It also allows for the use of a tumbler code to offer a discount to clients, which is a pleasant feature. In a couple of weeks, it is planned to conduct the Review #2 , where one of the focal points for testers will be the "Privacy score result for the transaction."

Thank you immensely for the constructive suggestions and feedback. I truly don't wish to disappoint, but at this time, there are no plans to introduce additional communication channels.

Yes, you're absolutely right – the intention is that this code is solely for your use; it shouldn't be sold or passed on to third parties. And yes, it's completely secure: refer to the description on how the tumbler code is structured in the project  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467457.msg62902648#msg62902648)in the above post.

The  [banned mixer] Bitcoin Mixer Review#1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467984.100)  that was recently launched shows interesting results!

The testers team gathered by Royce777 is really professional.

There are some ideas that have already been implemented in hot pursuit, there are some shortcomings that have been identified, and they have already been fixed, there are moments where the testers themselves for some reason could not figure out the functionality.
I will wait for all 20 reviews to appear and show in the final post all the suggestions.
There are really interesting ideas, implementing which will take time.
For example, several people mentioned the lack of a night mode and, voila, it has already been implemented. Use it with pleasure!

I will definitely share all my thoughts after appearing of all the reviews!

It's great you already make improvements to your site after only reading a couple of reviews.
I was also lucky enough to be one of the participants and must say some of the reviews are top notch!

For the contest, I think the first review already, by user ratimov was very good. I didn't have the same problems he did, with the language switch, but the whole review was grade A quality.
Another 2 ones I enjoyed reading myself were written by BlackHatCoiner and Gladitorcomeback. They tested stuff I couldn't even think of, very informative.
I don't want to be in your shoes, it's a tough decision to choose a best review out of these.

If you have time on your hands to work on some SEO optimization  it will be nice to see you rank on the first page of Google with the "[banned mixer]" search  :)
Yes, that is important, let's make it natural as Yomix did. I am not sure they use SEO to optimize it, I am really sure Yomix did it naturally because they are good in marketing. So if [banned mixer] want be o top searching let do the same what yomix did by create the signature campaign and masive marketing on social media. The important thing 1st is to make people believe if [banned mixer] is Trusted. So if people already believe, the ranking will be shifted to the top place naturally.

I would not agree that SEO ranking is such an important thing when we talk about mixer services. It can be useful, of course it's always good, but it's not crucial.
As the most obvious example, I would mention Chipmixer, which for the last few years has only worked with the TOR site without a clearnet site. By directly searching the chipmixer keyword, the original site was not even in the first 5 pages of the Google search engine. And yet they were quite dominant in the mixer industry.

It's very hard topic to discuss about because there are solid arguments on both sides. The existence of clearnet site increases the chance of phishing and scamming. If you remove clearnet website and promote only onion link, the number of people falling scams will decrease, that's what chipmixer owner experienced and said at least.
But on another hand, why shouldn't mixer be available on clearnet? If all of your users are for illegal activities, sure, you don't need one but I assume if aim is to truly help  customers to remain anonymous and you care about your average users, then clearnet is necessary. It's especially necessary in the beginning to let your customers visit and see your website, average user is probably lazy enough to download and open Tor for that.

By the way, we don't actually know how much of a traffic comes from Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and other search engines. So, it's hard to say, chipmixer existed so long that they were already known for the whole crypto world.

By directly searching the chipmixer keyword, the original site was not even in the first 5 pages of the Google search engine. And yet they were quite dominant in the mixer industry.
So when we talk about that, Chipmixer was a popular site that has credible uses by people. They don't need that traffic Google search. because people already know that mixer is trust and reliable to use.

If you remove clearnet website and promote only onion link, the number of people falling scams will decrease,
The problem is, not many people can use that onion link, I admit that when try onion links where have a bad connection internet location. I have to back on the Clearnet link to access the mixer.

However, clearnet link is important. They must priority that link beside the onion link. because there are many normal people who only know how to use clearnet link, and never use onion link for his life once.

To everything there is a season, blue Snow
When will we hear responses to some of the comments made in the campaign review?
What changes may occur, especially to some points that everyone agreed upon, such as the mixing algorithm and withdrawal fees?

I'm glad to inform you that the first round of Bitcoin Mixer Review (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467984.0) is completed and a great job has been done, in the next message I will provide a complete list of all edits.

The questions and suggestions from the testers of the first Review are collected below. I've tried to show most of them.

Ratimov

Quote
"The maximum value within one transaction is 10 BTC, which is not that much; many mixers allow you to exchange 50 BTC. To mix large amounts, you will have to additionally communicate with support."
⌛⌛⌛ After completing all tests, we're ramping up our mixing pool soon – bigger transactions are on the horizon.

Quote
"The mixer offers up to 10 addresses to add, and they support all address formats except Taproot."
✅✅✅ We've added Taproot support now, so you're all set for every address format.

Quote
"The delay is dynamic and varies from 0 to 72 hours, which is not so much, considering that many services offer a delay of much more than 3 days, but I like that there is a breakdown here not only by hours, but also by minutes."
✅✅✅ Honestly, we've found that going beyond 72 hours doesn't make much difference.

Quote
"The weaknesses of this service are the inability to select the distribution of bitcoins by address in percentage terms, and there is also a lack of latency distribution for individual addresses."
✅✅✅ Just to clarify, since the inception of our service, we've actually had the feature to distribute bitcoins by address in percentage terms and to set latency distribution for individual addresses. Perhaps it might've been overlooked? Do check again, and let us know if you need any assistance navigating through it.

Quote
"I would also add an option for a random number of transactions, this will increase anonymity. Or you could choose how many transactions to split the bitcoins into."
✅✅✅ We've already implemented that feature. Now, our system distributes coins using 96 different sending patterns, and yep, that includes sending from various address types. We're all about upping that anonymity game.

Quote
"When you come to the mixer, select a language, then select mixing parameters, click on the Continue button, then the service, when you go to a new screen, resets your language settings and shows English by default. You have to select the language you need again."
✅✅✅ Thanks for pointing that out. We've fixed the issue, so your language preference should stick throughout the process now. Give it another go and let us know if everything's smooth.

Quote
"After creating a second separate transaction, the mixer on my first mixing produced the following error:.... What does it mean? Why did it arise? The service does not explain this in any way on the screen, you can only guess and write to support. Does the service really not like merged transactions, but no one explained this."
✅✅✅ Thanks for bringing this to our attention during the testing phase. We've now updated our platform to display descriptions for all potential errors, so users will have a clearer understanding of what's happening.

Quote
"I didn't actually send money to the deposit address more than twice, I sent it to a different address each time, but within the same transaction"
✅✅✅ Our system was initially set up to flag any non-standard behavior as a potential threat, leading to the transaction being marked as an error. Good news is, we've updated this. You can now send transactions and even increase the fee during the process. Our system won't mistake it for a double-spend, and your transaction will go through smoothly. Plus, if there's a transaction cancellation, your order will revert to its initial state, waiting for a new transaction. Hope this clears things up!

Quote
"Payment of commission to miners by the service is generous"
✅✅✅ We've made adjustments and corrected the overly generous miner fee.

Quote
"Order information expires after 24 hours, and chat history expires after 48 hours, although a feature could be added to force this history to be deleted immediately."
✅✅✅ Just a quick heads-up: we've now added a feature allowing clients to delete order information directly from the order page without waiting for the 24 hours to lapse.

Quote
"Just create a separate email for any questions and complaints, where I won’t need to remember and copy all sorts of links for chat. A separate email address is always more reliable than the internal service page."
❎ Thanks for the suggestion. However, based on the history of ChipMixer, email played a pivotal role in its shutdown. According to regulatory reports, ProtonMail might not be as anonymous and secure as many believe. So, for now, we won't be introducing email support to maintain the highest levels of security and anonymity. Hope you understand.

Quote
"I emphasize, precisely in expanded form, because the internal support chat on the mixer’s website only has a text version of the problem description;"
✅✅✅ We've completely revamped our internal chat. Lots of new features have been added, including automatic updates. We're always striving to make our platform more user-friendly and efficient.

Quote
"you can’t even attach a screenshot there."
❎ For security reasons, we don't plan to add the functionality to attach screenshots. Text-based messages provide a secure means of communicating with our support team, and we believe it's sufficient to convey any necessary information.

Quote
"Get an email account, create a telegram support, create several options for contacting service representatives so that I don’t have to remember these links for chat and at the same time keep the mixer page open to communicate with support and wait for answers."
❎ For the sake of security, we don't plan to support Telegram. Telegram's recent privacy policy changes involve disclosing user information, including IP addresses, upon regulatory request, which raises concerns about user privacy. We aim to prioritize the utmost privacy and security for our users.

Quote
"Next, I would like to note the meager set of external communication sources, which I already talked about in the Support section. There are only Twitter and Bitcointalk to choose from. Add Email, telegram, reddit, discord, anything that could increase the search and support for this service on the Internet."
❎ We currently do not intend to add any additional communication channels beyond our internal chat and Bitcointalk forum. This decision is rooted in our commitment to maintaining complete control over privacy for both us and our users. We believe this approach best aligns with our mission to provide a secure and anonymous service.

Quote
"Also, why is there no PGP fingerprint on the main page of the site?"
❎ There is no option to add the PGP fingerprint on the main page of the site without using Email for support. However, in case we need to sign any messages, we'll use the official Bitcoin address of the project - 1TUMBLRXHDjFZacmFLbuDn2Rw1rcPgacR.

Quote
"There is no referral program, but this is rather not a drawback, but a wish for the further addition of such an opportunity."
⌛⌛⌛ A referral program is on our roadmap for future additions. Your suggestion aligns with our plans for further enhancements.

Quote
"I noticed it is hard to slide those percentage to the accurate amount someone desires... ", "If possible the amount in percentage to be mixed into different addresses can be edited, it would be excellent, instead of using only fee slider."
✅✅✅ We've added a feature that allows you to use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to make more precise adjustments to the sliders in the mixing form. This should provide a more accurate way to set the desired percentage.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.



hugeblack

Quote
"Dark mode is not supported."
✅✅✅ We've added a dark mode feature. Now you can enjoy the service with a more comfortable viewing experience in low-light environments.

Quote
"Site does not work when JavaScript is disabled."
❎ We currently do not intend to implement that functionality because JavaScript is essential for the proper operation of the site. Additionally, JavaScript helps resolve various issues related to client anonymity and provides protection against DDoS attacks.

Quote
"Mixer don't have restore your order page based on TX-ID."
✅✅✅ A link to your order has been added to the guarantee letter. You can always revisit your order using this link, even after closing your browser tab.

Quote
"Remove discount system and LIFETIME DISCOUNT"
❎ We won't be removing the discount system and lifetime discount. Our system fully incorporates this functionality without compromising the anonymity of our clients. We've previously explained this feature in detail in our forum thread and discussed how the Tumbler code operates.

Quote
"Use ProtonMail to receive support requests."
❎ We don't plan to use ProtonMail for receiving support requests. Chipmixer previously used ProtonMail, but that project no longer exists.

Quote
"Add a lighter version that does not support JavaScript, such as ---> https://clean.[banned mixer]/"
❎ At the moment, we are not considering adding a lighter version that doesn't support JavaScript.

Quote
"Random service fee: The user usually chooses the lowest fee within Basic, Standard, Premium. Adding a forced random option within these levels will enhance privacy."
❎ Implementing a forced random option for service fees within the existing levels doesn't provide practical benefits, as we see that most users already choose service fees randomly to enhance privacy.

Quote
"You did not mention what will happen if the user deposits after 24 hours."
✅✅✅ A detailed response to this question has been added to the FAQ section on the project's website.

Quote
"Adding support for the Lightning Network"
❎ Support for the Lightning Network is not in our current considerations.

Quote
"Paying to a friend"
❎ We don't intend to include the 'Paying to a friend' feature in our services. This functionality is more similar to a cryptocurrency wallet feature, and our primary focus is on providing a different set of services.

Quote
"I noticed that when I received payments, the mixer was paying a lot of fees."
✅✅✅ We've made adjustments and corrected the overly generous miner fee.

Quote
"Unfortunately, this is very disappointing. I received the same coins that I sent when testing Basic, and this indicates that there is not enough stock of bitcoins or complete reliance on the tumbler code."
❎ Using the Tumbler Code is essential to avoid such issues. You can find information about it in various sections on our website.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.

"The discount only start from 1 btc so I guess it’s not for the average user."
❎ There are projects with higher requirements for discounts, and we consider our rates to be reasonable.

Quote
"Mandatory transaction fee seems a bit high and could be dynamic."
❎ The minimum fee helps protect our pool from de-anonymization attacks. At the time of withdrawal, the fee is dynamic and is selected based on the Bitcoin network's current load.

Quote
"FAQ, even though explaining everything well, could be written better"
✅✅✅ We've made significant improvements to the FAQ section based on feedback from testers. It now contains a wealth of new information and clarifications to better assist users.

Quote
"It would be nice if the user can choose to change how many % would go to to how many addresses in a different way, by manual input for example."
❎ This feature has actually been available since the project's inception.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.



Learn Bitcoin

Quote
"The website UI looks good, but I was searching to switch to Night mode as I wouldn't say I like using bright screens."
✅✅✅ We've added a dark mode feature. Now you can enjoy the service with a more comfortable viewing experience in low-light environments.

Quote
"The problem is that users must copy and save their support page link."
✅✅✅ We've taken this into account and made improvements. Now, the link to your ongoing support conversation is duplicated on the chat page, making it easier for you to continue where you left off even if you close your browser tab.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.



SmartGold01

Quote
"The minimal deposit was little bit huge, I suggest the minimal deposit should be reduced and fit on 0.0005BTC or below..."
❎ The minimum deposit is an important part of our system's security measures, and we believe the current amount is set at an optimal level.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.



BlackHatCoiner

Quote
"You rely on javascript. I strongly recommend you to either let people audit the code of both your front-end and back-end, or get rid of javascript completely."
❎ JavaScript (JS) plays a crucial role in maintaining the security and anonymity of our project. Without JS, the level of anonymity and functionality we offer could not be fully realized. Perhaps some of the testers who attempted to assess our service, including DDoS testing, have gained a deeper appreciation for this technology. They may have also noticed specific technical aspects while interacting with our website. In a nutshell, JS enables anonymity for both us and our clients.

Quote
"You have not DNSSEC enabled, which can significantly reduce the risk of various DNS-based attacks, such as DNS spoofing, cache poisoning, and man-in-the-middle attacks."
⌛⌛⌛ I'm sorry, but our DNS provider (DDOS-Guard) currently does not support DNSSEC, although they have promised to add this feature in the future. We do not plan to transfer the domain to another DNS provider as we have not found a suitable candidate that meets all our requirements related to anonymity and security.

Quote
"You have not set the Content-Security-Policy header (which protects from cross-site scripting)."
✅✅✅ This conclusion is incorrect. We have implemented all the necessary security headers, including the Content-Security-Policy header, since the launch of our project. You can verify this here https://securityheaders.com/

Quote
"Was this written on the go? Looks sketchy."
✅✅✅ We've made significant improvements to our FAQ section, addressing any previous issues and adding new content. Additionally, we've corrected typos on the website to enhance user experience.

Quote
"A little while later, after waiting for confirmation, I got this:"
✅✅✅ Our system was initially set up to flag any non-standard behavior as a potential threat, leading to the transaction being marked as an error. Good news is, we've updated this. You can now send transactions and even increase the fee during the process. Our system won't mistake it for a double-spend, and your transaction will go through smoothly. Plus, if there's a transaction cancellation, your order will revert to its initial state, waiting for a new transaction.

Quote
Actual mixing. When the user receives mixed coins, they have to look mixed. That's the point of the mixer; to improve fungibility and privacy, and the manner to accomplish it is to make it difficult for outsiders to de-anonymize known-mixer outputs. However, there needs to be a discernible indicator that these coins indeed originated from a mixer, so that anyone attempting to trace them can give up.
✅✅✅ Our system distributes coins using 96 different sending patterns, and yep, that includes sending from various address types. We're all about upping that anonymity game.

Quote
"Security levels". The user has no manner to verify whatsoever how their "Premium" coins are more private; which is a lie in the first place as I demonstrated. Premium coins which I expected to withdraw on different addresses, were withdrawn with direct blockchain connection. Minimum privacy there."
✅ Please note that the funds you received were from an address with a much larger sum than you requested for withdrawal. By structuring our pool into levels and using various sources of coins, we aim to protect our pool from de-anonymization, making it more costly to attack. This approach enhances the overall security and privacy of our service.

Quote
"Pricing. Please explain me why each receiving address costs an additional 20,000 sat. Your fee range of 0.4% to 3.60% is quite reasonable. However, as you've acknowledged, I didn't receive an equally good product for the price I paid when comparing the "Basic" and "Premium" options."
✅ The minimum receiving address fee is "one of the methods" to protect our pools from de-anonymization, the primary function of which is to make such an attack as expensive as possible.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.

"Website design is ok, it's clean, and I didn't notice any big spelling mistakes, but first thing that caught my eye was Absolutely Reliable claim on main page. Either Tumbler has hired gipsy fortune teller or they have top secret time traveling machine when they are already claiming to have many positive customer reviews on forums, and they just recently started this service."
✅ It's a part of our SEO strategy! But believe us, in the future, it will be true.

Quote
"Note that after finishing my mixing I was presented with a button to write a review, and it was redirecting only to their bitcointalk forum topic."
✅ In addition to that, this button does not pass a referer, so your data remains secure (blocked at the security headers level and in the HTML code). :)

Quote
Fees page is saying that fees are smaller when larger amount of Bitcoin is sent for mixing, and they still boldly claim that for 100 or more BTC there is 50% discount and 0.20% service fee. I will have to say that I really suspect they have 100 or more Bitcoin, unless they are using other centralized services, but I will talk more about that later. When they first appeared in bitcointalk I asked them this question and I think they rchanged 100 btc claim to 10 btc in FAQ page, but it's still there in Fees page.
✅✅✅ A detailed response to this question has been added to the FAQ section on the project's website.

Quote
"This is where I received my first error or bug while I was testing Tumbler, and I was asked to refresh browser and continue."
✅ It's possible there was a connection interruption between your browser and our system's backend, and refreshing the page was a troubleshooting step to address this.

Quote
"I also want to use manual delete option for Support chat."
✅✅✅ We've added the option for manual deletion in the support chat.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.

"Checking the first tx I was so glad they overpaid 3x times, I looked at the topic, so what the first two members had to say and...I knew it. It had to be, I knew it was coming! The other tx had the exact fee, weight, virtual size!"
✅✅✅ The problem has been resolved.

Quote
"A bit inconvenient to recreate the order page, but a good thing to put it in the letter"
✅✅✅ A link to your order has been added to the guarantee letter. You can always revisit your order using this link, even after closing your browser tab.

Quote
"...issues with replaced transactions, needs to be fixed"
✅✅✅ The problem has been resolved.

Quote
"I'm a bit concerned about those tumblers codes, how does it track the amount mixed?"
✅ We have provided a detailed explanation of how it works and why it is secure in our forum post.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.

"Many positive customer reviews on forums speak about [banned mixer]'s reliability and solid reputation." -> maybe link some of them, otherwise it doesn't matter what you say."
✅ It's a part of our SEO strategy! But believe us, in the future, it will be true.

Quote
"what about warning people about the risk of using a third party proxy middleman and maybe recommend users to use the Tor mirror?"
⌛⌛⌛ We'll consider adding a convenient notification, but at the moment, we don't see a way to do it without compromising the usability of the site.

Quote
"A question about the tumbler code: How do you keep track of which coins are related to that user? For example, I send from my address X to your mixer address A. Then I come back later and mix again with my code. How do I *NOT* get the coins from mixer address A? If you're saving that information on your database, isn't this a privacy issue?"
✅ The Tumbler code is stored with the user themselves. The code = Reverse Encryption Algorithm ( Deposit key + Total amount ). We do not store deposit amount data and can determine a customer's discount based on the information they provide to us. We have provided a detailed explanation of how it works and why it is secure in our forum post.

Quote
"I believe coins should move around a little bit more before they are sent straight to a new customer."
✅✅✅ We have added protection, which means that for a certain period, the user will not receive their coins back, even without using the Tumbler code.

Quote
"All transactions had their change address identified by Blockchair, maybe because a 3-type address sent to a 1-type address and the change was also a 3-type address?"
✅✅✅ We've already implemented that feature! Now, our system distributes coins using 96 different sending patterns, and yep, that includes sending from various address types.

Quote
"For a third mix, I tried sending coins and then cancelling my tx though RBF. It was detected after some time and a message showed up: "An error occurred during order processing. Please "contact support (what if I resend it? Nothing showed up, so I cancelled it again)."
✅✅✅ We've now updated our platform to display descriptions for all potential errors, so users will have a clearer understanding of what's happening. Plus, if there's a transaction cancellation, your order will revert to its initial state, waiting for a new transaction.

Quote
"I wanted to try something different, so after noticing that there was no captcha required on the order page, I wrote a script that brute forces sessions as an attempt to find someone else’s randomly. Assuming a order id format "XXXXXXXX-XXXXXX" and 36 characters (A-Z/0-9), there was 36^14 possible ids. Maybe too much? Still, I wanted to try. Grin"

👓 The ORDER-ID is generated independently of any database connection, allowing for the creation of at least 1.000.000.000 unique IDs without impacting the system's performance. It simply generates a valid ID with a signature for your 'future' session using an algorithm-based approach without database involvement. We closely monitored your attempted attack. In the event of a CSRF breach and the initiation of a mass order creation, our protection mechanisms would have been activated, resulting in a denial of service. Additionally, an automatic captcha would have been triggered. Nevertheless, we appreciate your stress test, which has led to many optimizations.

Furthermore, IP blocking based on excessive requests is inherently present but currently disabled. We were curious to see where you would end up :)

Currently, the system is equipped to handle high loads with cluster support and includes features to protect against and filter out malicious traffic. Therefore, there is a possibility that we may no longer need the services of DDOS-Guard in the future.

Quote
"You're new, of course, but put an avatar and card on your twitter account so you don't look inactive and careless (Grin): https://twitter.com/tumbler_io"
⌛ According to our task queue, in the future, we plan to add an avatar to the Twitter/X account.

Quote
"Extra suggestion: let people deposit multiple times before they receive their coins. For example, I can send 0.001 BTC from my address A to your deposit address X + send 0.003 BTC from my address B to your deposit address Y. My output will be 0.001 + 0.003 = 0.004 BTC. This makes it so the output can also be higher than a single input transaction (A alone, or B alone)."
✅✅✅ We have created over 90 transaction sending patterns, each of which operates based on various mixing conditions.

Quote
What happens if the transaction takes longer than that to confirm?
✅✅✅ We have added extensive clarifications to the FAQ section regarding your inquiries related to order timing

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.

"A good mixer/tumbler didn't keep any type of history for long time to secure whole process. [banned mixer] keeping transaction history for 24 hours support history for 48 hours which is not good where as other competitors/mixers not keeping any log. The good thing is that we can delete this history anytime we want but automatic delete should ne reduce to atleast 24 hours."

"Sending btc after 24 would be considered loan, why not refund?"
✅✅✅ After 24 hours, if we haven't received deposit information, the order is deleted, including the deposit address and its private key. In other words, a refund becomes impossible. Added to FAQ.

"No captcha at the start which could lead to DDOS attack."
✅ The protection will only be activated in the event of an attack, we do not disrupt the use of the service unnecessarily.

Conduct an experiment, connect 10 different addresses of yours with another 10 new addresses in your wallet in one transaction, after which each address in your wallet will have a 97% risk according to AMLBot's assessment. In this case, the AMLBot system will think that you were trying to use CoinJoin technology. Do you think this is a fair risk assessment?

I know none of the other Mixers I have experienced, have this feature besides just a simple fee calculator, but it will be super comfy and UI will become more user-friendly."

JavaScript (JS) plays a crucial role in maintaining the security and anonymity of our project. Without JS, the level of anonymity and functionality we offer could not be fully realized.
Could you please explain how front-end Javascript enhances user's anonymity? As far as I know, it can only hurt it: https://tor.stackexchange.com/a/21987. And if you don't mind, how it protects the server's anonymity?

This conclusion is incorrect. We have implemented all the necessary security headers, including the Content-Security-Policy header, since the launch of our project. You can verify this here https://securityheaders.com/
Apologies. You have indeed implemented Content Security Policy:
Quote from: Firefox developer tools, from the onion site
content-security-policy
default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; object-src 'none'; media-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data: 'unsafe-inline'; frame-src 'none'; font-src 'self'; connect-src 'self'

Please note that the funds you received were from an address with a much larger sum than you requested for withdrawal. By structuring our pool into levels and using various sources of coins, we aim to protect our pool from de-anonymization, making it more costly to attack. This approach enhances the overall security and privacy of our service.
The funds I received in the second mixing were literally taken by the change of the first mixing. That is absolutely unacceptable if I'm requesting from your service to have my coins received in multiple addresses. The whole point of using multiple addresses (AKA, split mixing), is to not reveal common ownership.

❎ Using the Tumbler Code is essential to avoid such issues. You can find information about it in various sections on our website.
Since it will not be removed, is there a guarantee that the lifetime discount does not affect privacy.

The problem was that I did the mixing process twice, two minutes apart. I completed the first, and after two minutes, a new mixing process began with the same value as the previous one. The problem was that I got my coins from the address of the previous mixing process. In other words, you either have a software problem or you have a problem with the reserves.



I have visited the site and there are updates, will try to test it again and I wish you success.

Actually the first review campaign was exactly 3 weeks ago, not a few months.
And yes, they made a lot of changes already, I had a quick look some days ago and many addressed problems have been given improvements.

I also applied for the 2nd review campaign, maybe I can test it again but if not that's fine.

JavaScript plays a crucial role in the operation of our service. Apart from handling backend security against DDoS attacks, complicating the creation of phishing sites, and enhancing usability, the use of JavaScript allows us to maintain a "competitive advantage in terms of security and anonymity" for both us and our clients. Security experts, upon a thorough "review" of the project, will understand the specifics of what is being discussed. It doesn't make sense to publicly disclose all the security methods of our project.

Quote
- The tumbler code is somewhere at the bottom of this page, very easy to miss if you don't scroll down and honestly I almost forgot about it since my attention was on the deposit process, the page has a ton of blank space at the top, alongside the logo and steps icons at the top, all of which are taking a lot of "wasted" space

-I think this page should be squeezed to fit a single screen without having to scroll down, where everything needed (Letter of Guarantee + Deposit status + tumbler code appears in the same height level without needing to scroll)

✅❎ We use adaptive web design to ensure pages look consistent in modern browsers our clients use. Usability tests guided information block placement. We'll keep testing new layouts, potentially modifying some blocks in the future.

Quote
No easy way of entering the order number should one close the page by mistake, if someone doesn't pay enough attention to the URL which contains the order number /order#JTPFXE5B-ABCDE then it will be hard for them to go back to the same order without contacting the support team.

✅✅✅ The full page address is repeated in the letter of guarantee. A separate page for entering the order ID seems unnecessary to us.

Quote
1. Despite receiving the transaction the timer is still running on the order page as if it's still yet to come.
2. However, the timer on the website is showing 1h.17mins (not sure why)

❎ ! Unable to reproduce this error. There may have been connection interruptions between your browser and our website.

The warning that says after the deposit is made:
If one of the outputs has a round value (like exactly 0.1 BTC) — this output can be considered as the recipient. Instead of sending 0.1 BTC, send for example 0.100124.

Is pretty useless at this point, it should show on the first page, and then again on the top of the deposit page not at the bottom, now since you can't control what the user sends, you could at least control what you send by slightly modifying your 0.0002 BTC fee to make it in a dynamic range of say 0.000015 - 0.0002

✅✅✅  We cannot and should not alter the final incoming amount.
If a user wishes to receive exactly 0.001, it is their choice. We merely provide a warning about how such a transfer will be treated.
For instance, if they need to pay for a service that requires an exact amount, altering it would cause problems.

! Additionally, the calculator is available at every mixing stage, providing a warning about the recommended transfer amount just before the transfer.

Quote
1- You consolidated 3 smaller outputs that were not needed

✅✅✅ I don't find anything suspicious. In fact:

1. I can't identify the recipient here (similar to Blockchair).
2. This isn't the usual mixer behavior; typically, it follows a 1-2 pattern.

Excellent work! :)

Which came from this address bc1qmtxzrvnzr3ryak5jeprz3eqqsgpq9t4hzvd2g5

✅✅✅ You know that you used a mixer, so it's likely to assume that the addresses from which the funds were received also belong to the mixer and could have been used for payouts before, possibly including you.
Still, it's very suspicious, possibly a negative experience. Noted. ;)  ;D

Quote
I don't like the security level options, it's complicated for the average user, and there should be only one type of mixing, a mixing that works, and the fees to be different only in regards to the outgoing transaction network fee, not that actually privacy result.

1. I can't identify the recipient here (similar to Blockchair).

You certainly can for the transactions that had these 3 small inputs, in other words, you revealed the recipient address of my first mix.

more details:

This was my first mix

https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/29cecb7abf2b2455ac842f0f2ca20bc64eeafa650244f100dc2ec248549de845

this was my address

Code:
bc1qpshee3qva79zxqllgm8z7lxtk556793c4crhkj

and this was the change address owned by you

Code:
bc1qkpgugjv55lp0my23m0txn0azww5rvxwyf8qh5p

up to this point, it's very difficult to tell which address was the change address.


And then there is this mix (not mine)

https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/6d08da9665e39843ffd02d67d544e030f8ca3e4f82910a74299debbe13bab0ae

and this (not mine)

https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/4b376658c9932523c06055facd620cfe243042bfc51e6697249467fbaf194f9f


All the way before the last transaction, we had no way of telling what the change address was for all of these 3 mixes, but now after this transaction

https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/c9a3b09f602b02c433f11fed1e5cc5c1e1207c8c71b34539b0e01445eb04f2db

We know that these 3 inputs belong to the same person, and thus in all of the 3 previous transactions the other 3 addresses were not the change addresses.

So now I know this address

bc1qpweug4vt3pqxfyrl48huppeuhy0xl59c235jxh

and this address

bc1qscpqkpclc6vrucwfmznfzpak4r8942xhvcc2w4

were the recipients of those two transactions, you revealed this piece of info to me for no apparent good reason (or at least one which I don't see).

had you not consolidate those 3 inputs in a mixed transaction that I received, I wouldn't be able to tell the change address of the other 2 addresses (which I don't own)

Obviously, I don't know of other ways to consolidate those small inputs on-chain without revealing the same thing, eventually, when they are consolidated you would reveal the change address of all the other transactions in the same manner, it would just be harder to analyze this information had you waited a little longer before consolidating.

Furthermore, the transaction behavior itself looks suspicious, a normal transaction from a normal wallet would have only included the large input which was larger than the desired output, and the 3 smaller outputs were not even enough to match that anyway.

I do understand that most mixing isn't done so that nobody can tell it's a mixer transaction, the goal is to break the connection between the coins you send and the coins you receive, which you did manage to achieve based on my analysis, I just think that if someone is digging deeper to find out all of this info, it would be wiser to make things more difficult for them even by a small degree.

BlackHatCoiner,
Again (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5470952.msg63040065#msg63040065), not strong anonymity.

First off, we're not a CoinJoin mixer.
We operate on a client-to-client basis.
When a user opts for the "premium" level, investor coins are added to the pool.
Let's make a note of that!

Next, I'm not quite following your suggestions regarding improving anonymity.

Our current mixer setup completely severs the connection between your coins.
You might see past transactions from the payout address, but those aren't your coins, right?

Let me let you in on a "secret": when using the Tumbler code, you're guaranteed not to receive your own coins back, even after a thousand "payout-change" iterations.
Even if your coins were partially transferred to another client, using the Tumbler code ensures you'll never get back the coins that remained in the service as change. To me, that sounds pretty fantastic, not "not strong anonymity".

You're deeply mistaken if you think you can achieve the same level of anonymity just using your own wallet. Mathematically, it's just not possible.

First off, our current mixer pool already contains hundreds of addresses with various balances. After testing, that number will soar into the thousands. Try mixing any amount different from your last transaction, and you'll see entirely different addresses. Of course, when testing with amounts like 0.001 BTC, the service won't pay you from an address with a 1 BTC balance. It adjusts according to your amount. In this context, it's plausible that without using the Tumbler code, you might come across your old address someday.

The solution is in place; for maximum anonymity, use the Tumbler code.

THE ESSENCE OF A GOOD MIXER IS TO HAVE A LARGE COIN POOL AND A SYSTEM THAT PROPERLY DISTRIBUTES COINS AMONG CLIENTS.

At present, we only use 10 BTC, but after testing, we'll SIGNIFICANTLY expand the pool. As for the system, it's fully implemented.

From what I gather, you suggest a "payout -> coinjoin -> payout" scheme? That's a pretty bad idea. Not a single verified exchange will accept your coins. The UniJoin mixer already operates on this scheme: after mixing with them, your coins will instantly be flagged with a 97% risk on the AML bot and similar systems, marked as "COINJOIN". CoinJoin schemes are easily detected, and such coins will attract undue attention. Tx (http://blkchairbknpn73cfjhevhla7rkp4ed5gg2knctvv7it4lioy22defid.onion/bitcoin/transaction/ef6e28c9d7b418a559e4cc253b7bbe626cb52eae09b5595f08a98540d0035742).

You've got the MixTum mixer in your signature. I assume nobody forced you to promote that particular mixer, so it's a conscious choice, right? Did you test it before showcasing it in your signature? That mixer sources its payouts from the Huobi exchange, and what's more, all client payouts come from a single address with a "large balance", until it's depleted. Test it for yourself – due to the significant initial balance, you can track their payout history for several weeks! Is that what you call anonymity?

And with that, I'm directly addressing your question about the 0.0002 BTC fee for each receiving address.

In our case, to get a list of all our current addresses (to stage an attack on our pool), one would need to make hundreds of orders with different amounts, paying roughly $5+ for each payout, plus the service fee (and that wouldn't even scratch a tenth of our pool post-testing). Given that different security levels have separate coin pools, such an attack becomes extremely costly. No analytics-type organization will bother with that.
Using your mixer as an example: to de-anonymize all its users in recent weeks, it would take $10-20, right?

Trust us, we've explored all possible operational methods, scrutinized "every competitor" out there.
Our current system is the only one that truly works without any harmful side effects, and most importantly,
it's a real thorn in the side for analytic companies.

I do understand that most mixing isn't done so that nobody can tell it's a mixer transaction, the goal is to break the connection between the coins you send and the coins you receive, which you did manage to achieve based on my analysis, I just think that if someone is digging deeper to find out all of this info, it would be wiser to make things more difficult for them even by a small degree.

Analyzing blockchain transactions becomes significantly easier once it's known that you've used a mixer :). Naturally, this grants access to scrutinize past transactions. However, in most cases, after just the second iteration, it becomes challenging to distinguish between the recipient and the change.

Purely mathematically, for a more paranoid approach, using CoinJoin after each payout is tempting to ensure there's no chance of reviewing clients' past transactions.

But here, two immediate issues arise:

1. In this operation, you're immediately exposing not one client of the mixer but hundreds (Example Tx (http://blkchairbknpn73cfjhevhla7rkp4ed5gg2knctvv7it4lioy22defid.onion/bitcoin/privacy-o-meter/a96af3cf1b0017fe6d09050535e4a2a1d376278106dff4a7a90ff532b92cbfa2)).
2. Your coins will receive a 100% risk rating in AML bots and similar systems, making them unacceptable to any verified exchange or trading platform.

An effective mixer's goal is to disconnect your old and new coins, and we achieve this fully.

🔥👍 We've finished a significant update.
Our system now considers all the heuristics listed on the Blockchair website (100+ indicators (http://blkchairbknpn73cfjhevhla7rkp4ed5gg2knctvv7it4lioy22defid.onion/api/docs#link_M6)).
This means that Blockchair (or anyone else) can no longer determine the recipient's address or where the change went when analyzing our transactions.

We're having a disagreement in a fundamental level; you're buying the notion that coins are tainted. Every action of your service is done under the premise that the mixed coins must be treated as "non-tainted" by blockchain analysis companies. I don't buy that notion, and don't interact with services that will deem my coins as that. Usually, they're just centralized exchanges, which I avoid as I trade decentrally.

To me, the point of a mixer is to make it as hard as possible for a third party to tell which outputs correspond to which inputs. Period. "AML scores", "tainted coins" and the like, are all inaccurate, made-up nonsense that undermine Bitcoin as currency and attack our privacy.

Using your mixer as an example: to de-anonymize all its users in recent weeks, it would take $10-20, right?
Revealing which addresses belong to a mixer doesn't hurt its clients anonymization, just as revealing which inputs are coinjoined doesn't make the outputs de-anonymized. It's just making it apparent that the clients used a mixer / coinjoined, which in the eyes of chain analysis that is deemed as "tainting". Otherwise, I strongly recommend you to get rid of a competitor with just $20 in expenses.

In the current reality, it's no longer easy to just rely on CoinJoin. You use decentralized exchanges without KYC, which makes CoinJoin a suitable option for you. But how many share your situation? Maybe just 0.01%?

I agree, but that's the situation right now. Sadly, we might eventually see miners being mandated to include transactions only from verified sources in blocks :)

CoinJoin doesn't sever the link between your old and new coins.

For example, you have 1 BTC, and it's publicly known to belong to you. I also have 1 BTC, publicly known to be mine. After a CoinJoin transaction to 10 addresses (0.2 coins each), all 10 addresses receive the marker "Yours and Mine" (50/50), but this doesn't mean the marker disappears.
This is why CoinJoin services function without a hitch; it's just too easy to monitor them.

In our case, the connection is entirely severed.

I don't know the number. What I do know is that it's our responsibility to educate newbies about these solutions, and to not give up everything on their naivety. We should not be endorsing the usage of a service which is treating the currency as non-fungible with evidently inaccurate data (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5464886.0).

I agree
You don't agree when you're running a business which is based under the premise that taint exists. You're supporting it.

I won't derail this further. It's just sad how some people don't appreciate the censorship resistance this network provides in such efficient and effective manner.

To some extent, we've implemented what you need. In reality, please test our service in one month, and you'll see that previous transactions will no longer have the same obvious 1-2 pattern. It takes time to create pools and make transactions less conspicuous. Notice that in your review, you mentioned transactions that occurred before the update. We cannot modify the blockchain.

It's clear that AML scores are made up bullshit but that is how it is. When you play their game, you have to follow their rules. I think there are too many people that use centralized exchanges because they are fast, easy to use and offer many services that you can't find on DEX.
So, in the end, many people prefer their coins to be clean without tag that it was mixed, because, mixing sounds bad.

Revealing which addresses belong to a mixer doesn't hurt its clients anonymization, just as revealing which inputs are coinjoined doesn't make the outputs de-anonymized.

It doesn't hurt your anonymity but it hurts you when you want to use centralized exchange. I know, solution is to use DEX but here we talk about people, tons of people who use CEX. You can't force people to use DEX, right? So you have to adapt your service.

Let's ignore for a moment that buying "taint" is harmful for Bitcoin, and that we should opt out using services which treat the currency in such an unfair manner. How do you adapt into something completely non-transparent?

That is a question for [banned mixer]. How do you make sure that your "AML scoring" is acceptable? From the link I mentioned above, the chairmen of chain analysis companies have clarified they won't let anyone audit their software code. You practically have no manner to confirm that they won't be flagged by the chain analysis software, as you don't even know which software is used in the first place. Binance might be using software X, Huobi software Y, Kraken Z etc. We frequently notice coins being deemed as "tainted" from one exchange, and at the same time "clean" by another.

We have already answered this question above.

Quote
✅ Our platform is not designed for satisfactory results in systems like AMLBot.
Conduct an experiment, connect 10 different addresses of yours with another 10 new addresses in your wallet in one transaction, after which each address in your wallet will have a 97% risk according to AMLBot's assessment. In this case, the AMLBot system will think that you were trying to use CoinJoin technology. Do you think this is a fair risk assessment?

We are sure (through testing) that using CoinJoin "completely" is not possible because it becomes a 100% pattern in systems like AML bot and Chainalysis. After today's update, our system uses a hybrid approach, but it will take time for you to notice the difference as new transaction chains are formed.

We're not trying to achieve a favorable AML score by giving up full CoinJoin. We're adapting to the current situation. Everyone has learned to detect it and label those transactions negatively. Why bother with that? We can take a different approach.

I know, because the point of coinjoin is to create fungible coins which follow the exact same pattern. X inputs which are owned by several entities are consolidated, creating Y outputs. This process provably obfuscates the ownership. The fact that AML bots treat these as "100% tainted" tells a lot about the mixing effectiveness. They cannot tell who's who, and thus, treat the entire set of outputs as "tainted", which is beyond insane.

You say that you want to adapt, I'm genuinely curious with what estimations you base your work since anything can be treated as "tainted" by these people with no justification given.

@BlackHatCoiner
What you say is true, I understand this, the whole purpose of bitcoin mixer is to make your coins untraceable. You, the person who uses decentralized exchanges, has nothing to worry about but there are people who use centralized exchanges because of many reasons, some of them I already listed in my previous post.
Let's say that despite the fact that I use centralized exchange, I don't want to be totally tracked and want to have my private space. So, I have a bitcoin wallet that is not associated with me and I protect my privacy there but now I need to cash some of my coins and I have to deposit them on Coinbase but I don't want to reveal myself. What do I do in this case? I mix coins on a mixer that offers me coins that will pass AML bots, that's all. When I withdraw from Coinbase, I don't care about that problem, that only arises when I have to deposit on Coinbase. Coinbase is just an example in this case and nothing more or less.

Man, there is a huge problem in crypto world right now. I respect the fundamentals of bitcoin and use it to gain its advantage but centralized entities are taking it over and people prefer easy and comfortable service instead of slightly more complex one. Bitcoin, that was decentralized, is getting centralized. Mining is already centralized, you can't mine it at home, only huge corporations can mine bitcoin. Exchanges are getting regulated, casinos ask your for KYC documents, Ledger implements paid backup subscription for self-custody wallets. You see, this is not decentralization, this is taking over. It looks like centralized entity controlling decentralized coin, totally has it in its territory. So, at this time, demand and supply changes and now, like you said, privacy-focused service tries to adapt with anti-privacy organizations because of high demand, that's all.

You cannot simultaneously protect your privacy and use Coinbase. You have to pick either your privacy or Coinbase.

What do I do in this case?
We've talked about this in another thread. You cannot hide the fact that you protect your privacy, and nor should you. Coinbase has made it abundantly clear that mixed coins are unacceptable, because they treat every coin they cannot track as morally incorrect. Why are you trying to deceive Coinbase into thinking your coins are not mixed, and not skip it altogether and move to an environment that respects your privacy?

centralized entities are taking it over and people prefer easy and comfortable service instead of slightly more complex one.
Centralized entities are not so powerful anymore, because we have developed decentralized solutions that work.

If you find it so difficult to use Bisq, then just select an exchange which doesn't treat its users as shit. There's a variety of non-KYC: https://kycnot.me/. As I've said before, the only excuse to using a popular, regulated CEX over non-KYC, is shitcoins.

And, to my great regret, there's nothing that can be done about it. Such systems will continue to operate, and over time, their numbers will grow. I'm afraid to predict, but it seems to me that the next step is mandatory verification of transactions by miners before adding them to blocks :)

We tested a vast number of transactions in the AML bot. In reality, their system is quite simple. It's all based on the concept of good and bad. For instance, if you have 1 BTC with a 100% risk after CoinJoin, it's enough to mix this address with another 1 BTC from a verified exchange to reduce the risk to 50%.

In our system, we eliminated the most obvious patterns for identifying bad coins and configured payout logic based on Blockchair patterns. The result is a very effective system that, with a large pool of coins and a growing customer base, will become the best of its kind.

Shouldn't you clarify in your main page which exchanges are tested? As I already told you, we frequently notice coins being treated as tainted by one exchange while being acceptable by another. For example, your mixed coins might be acceptable by Binance, but not by Coinbase.

In our system, we eliminated the most obvious patterns for identifying bad coins and configured payout logic based on Blockchair patterns.
You should also clarify that; "Our anonymizing meter is based on Blockchair's software".

If you're going to follow that route, you need to be transparent with your clients. "We base our work on this", "We have tested this", etc. Otherwise once a client gets their coins rejected sometime (i.e., because of an AML bot update), you will be called a bad service.

I was doing a review for the current campaign, and I was almost sure that I had forgotten to write something. This KingsDen's case reminded me of one thing and I will write it here, rather than edit my review.
Your website lacks some kind of notification, where you would emphasize which are the only official channels of communication with support. I think that in your case it is certainly important because you do not have an official Telegram channel, which is quite unusual. Ideal for impersonators to trick new users who won't recognize the fake channel.

  • At the footer of the homepage, I saw the "X" icon, I didn't know what is was doing there until I clicked it and discovered it is a close icon. It will be fine that you use the word "CLOSE" in red colour as the icon doesn't sooth there. It looks like a social media handle icon.
This "X" is a new Twitter logo, and here on the Tumbler site, it does not have the function of closing the page.
Yea, it is redirecting to twitter now. As at when I was reviewing the site, it gave a warning to close all sessions when I clicked it.

We have implemented protection against Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks.
All critical data on the website is encrypted using the RSA asymmetric cryptography algorithm.

Now, DDOS-Guard or any other service providing DDoS protection won't be able to intercept our clients' data.

Here's how it works:

- When placing an order in the browser environment, a pair of 2048-bit RSA keys is generated (ClientPublicKey and ClientPrivateKey).
- Inside our JavaScript, there is our system's public key (SystemPublicKey).
- When placing an order, the client's browser encrypts the transmitted data using our public key (SystemPublicKey). Only we can decrypt this data because only we have the private key (SystemPrivateKey).
- In response from the server, the client also receives encrypted data, which was encrypted using the client's public key (ClientPublicKey). Only the client can decrypt the received data because only they have the private key (ClientPrivateKey).
- In addition, it is impossible to intercept order addresses by inspecting HTTP requests. OrderID is simply absent in the requests.

Encryption has been implemented for all critical parts of the project, namely:

- Order creation
- Order page
- Downloading a Letter of Guarantee
- Using the tumbler code
- Support

We would appreciate any feedback related to this update (primarily of a technical nature).

As you may have noticed, over the past week, transaction fees in the Bitcoin network have increased approximately tenfold.
On average, the recommended fee in recent days has been over 200 satoshis per byte.

Considering the size of our average transaction at 250-300 bytes, we find that we occasionally pay over 0.0006 BTC for a transfer, while charging the user 0.0003 BTC.

Once transaction fees normalize, we will reduce the fee in our system.

First of all, if you did put a change in the fee, it would have been good if you tell us here also on the ANN thread so we know about it.

Secondly, you are also charging 0.4% the minimum fee, meaning the fee is being charged in percentage so doesn't that compensate for the higher tx fee too ?
It was already highlighed by many reviewers that as they add the addresses to mix, this 0.002 BTC 0.0003 BTC, amounts too much higher and it discourages users who want to mix small amount of Bitcoins.


Once transaction fees normalize, we will reduce the fee in our system.

From 200+ tx fee, we are now back to around 25-26 bytes,

Firstly, we don't always make a profit.

Let's do some basic math. You deposit the minimum amount of 0.001, and our profit is 0.4%, which is 0.00000400 BTC. We spend 0.0006 on the transaction, while charging the user 0.0003. We end up with a loss of -0.000296.

Of course, there are orders for larger amounts. It's for this reason that we don't set the commission at 0.0006; in other words, 0.0003 a reasonable compensation takes place.

Firstly, if you had actually used similar services, you would know that this fee is one of the lowest in the market.
Secondly, the vast majority of those who suggested reducing the commission from testers, claiming that they are large, also did not use similar services before because there was no elementary comparison of the service parameters with competitors.

In other words, unfortunately, some testers did not perform well in the testing task, and not everything that testers write should be taken into account.

Our system does not rely on https://mempool.space. I was just trying to point out the weekly trend, which was hard to ignore if you use cryptocurrencies.
For obtaining the recommended fee, we use other, more reliable methods. At the moment, we do not observe a significant decrease under conditions of guaranteed confirmation in 2 blocks.

It might happen in the next 5 minutes, but not yet ;)  The adjustment of the fee in our system will occur automatically.

We are very busy and working hard to improve the system. Sorry. It's not always possible to respond promptly to forum questions.
In the coming week (hopefully), we will prepare a detailed report.

It might happen in the next 5 minutes, but not yet ;)  The adjustment of the fee in our system will occur automatically.

In this sense, I would like to make a suggestion:
Next to this fee field, place a small message like: "fee automatically adjustable, according to measured sat/byte costs of transactions"

Something like this, just for the user to be aware that this value can change, and choose to do the mix at that moment (because they think it will go up) or wait a while (because they think it will go down).

Either way, thanks for the explanation. Continuation of a good work.

There was some kind of silence at the [banned mixer] mixer. They promised a report on the work done, but many weeks have passed, and they are still silent. I go to their website and see that they have added a lot of solutions, including those that I suggested, which is extremely nice. Mixer has grown a lot in terms of user-friendliness and the quality of the site itself. I hope they will return soon and still present their report on the work done.

In general, a large number of constructive suggestions were accepted and implemented in part or in full. It seems that the review campaign gave quite a good result. At least as far as I noticed.
As far as I know, a signature campaign is also being prepared, so I believe that we can expect a more significant update by then.

I think it's been more than a month since they ran a contest for avatar and signature design here in BitcoinTalk. Until now they still haven't started the signature campaign. It seems they changed their mind about running a marketing campaign here in BitcoinTalk. Good thing OP is still active; they just haven't posted updates or bumped the thread daily.

At the closing of the second round of the review campaign, the launch of the signature advertising program was announced. That was about 10 days ago. I think it is too early to write off such a possibility.
This campaign is officially close now.
Thank you everyone for participating on the both review campaign.
We are planning to launch the signature campaign soon.
Looking forward to work together with some of you.

Thank you [banned mixer] team.

Cheers.

Hello everyone!

A huge shoutout to everyone who sent us questions and feedback – you've really helped us improve! Over the past few months, we've been hard at work making numerous enhancements to our service. While there have been many changes, today we're excited to share with you some of the highlights that have come out of your valuable input. We've selected a handful of improvements to discuss, but rest assured, there's much more in the pipeline. Stay tuned for some enlightening information, and feel free to join in the discussion!

I started with using the Clearnet version on Chrome, unfortunately, regardless of testing different browsers (Brave, Tor, and even Edge) I kept getting this error on the Captcha step.

✅ We've fixed the issue. Now, you should be able to complete the captcha step without any errors, regardless of the browser you're using.

Quote
The (Please, download the letter of guarantee before a transfer) is hardly noticeable, it must be more visible than the deposit information.

✅ We've made changes and added an icon to make it more visible. Now, the prompt to download the Letter of guarantee before a transfer should be noticeably clearer than the deposit information.

Quote
The tumbler code is somewhere at the bottom of this page, very easy to miss if you don't scroll down and honestly I almost forgot about it since my attention was on the deposit process, the page has a ton of blank space at the top, alongside the logo and steps icons at the top, all of which are taking a lot of "wasted" space
I think this page should be squeezed to fit a single screen without having to scroll down, where everything needed (Letter of Guarantee + Deposit status + tumbler code appears in the same height level without needing to scroll)

✅ Our usability tests have shown that there are no issues with focusing attention on this particular section at any resolution. We have designed the layout to ensure that all important elements are easily accessible and visible to our users.

Quote
No easy way of entering the order number should one close the page by mistake, if someone doesn't pay enough attention to the URL which contains the order number /order#... then it will be hard for them to go back to the same order without contacting the support team.

✅ Your link is duplicated on the mixing page as well as in the Letter of guarantee. This ensures that even if you close the page by mistake, you can easily find your way back to your order without needing to contact the support team.

Quote
Despite receiving the transaction the timer is still running on the order page as if it's still yet to come.

✅ We've fixed the issue. Now, the timer on the order page will correctly reflect the transaction status, stopping once the transaction is received.

Quote
Is pretty useless at this point, it should show on the first page, and then again on the top of the deposit page not at the bottom, now since you can't control what the user sends, you could at least control what you send by slightly modifying your 0.0002 BTC fee to make it in a dynamic range of say 0.000015 - 0.0002

✅ This information is available at every stage of mixing. We ensure that all necessary details are prominently displayed throughout the process, providing our users with clear guidance at each step.

Quote
You consolidated 3 smaller outputs that were not needed

✅ We have over 90 patterns for processing transactions. Sometimes, it happens that three smaller outputs are consolidated, which is a part of our sophisticated transaction processing system. This approach helps us achieve the highest level of privacy for our users.

Quote
The website should be translated into more languages, personally, I'd like to see it support Arabic.

✅ We have plans to add three more languages to the website.



Ratimov / Symmetrick

Let's start directly with the main function, namely Bitcoin mixing. I see that the service has implemented a captcha before mixing, and I have a question that dates back to the first review, namely the behavior of the site when changing the language. The mixing process itself consists of several screens: Captcha - Order details - Terms - In progress - Finish. I again observe that if you change the language during mixing, everything is reset and you have to start over, but this does not happen in all screens:

That is, if, after passing the captcha, I go to the order details screen, fill in all the data and try to change the language, I am again transferred to the very beginning. If I continue mixing without changing the language and go to screen 3, where I need to familiarize myself with the conditions, then the problem is the same:

✅ Thank you for such a clear explanation of the issue. There are no errors in these particular places; it's the website's protection against spam attacks that is activating. After successfully completing the captcha, your session is assigned a one-time unique key used for form submission. Changing the language (essentially refreshing the page) resets your current session and deletes all keys. As you've noticed, all the mixing stages are dynamically loaded (using Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX)), and with the current project architecture, it's impossible to implement language change while preserving the entire progress of form filling. In other words, it's impossible to restore form-filling progress at stages that don't require refreshing the browser page and are loaded dynamically.

Quote
I didn't notice it at all the first time because it almost blends into the main background, make it clearer so that it is visible.

✅ This block was intentionally hidden, as it does not carry any functional load and does not require the client's focused attention. We have removed the transparency, but the size has not been changed. :)

Quote
Next, I would suggest that you add information about supported addresses on the deposit screen. Here, on this screen, this information is more useful than in the FAQ section, for example, like this:

✅ Until the introduction of Taproot support, this might have been relevant, but at the moment our system supports all possible types of addresses. Adding this information now would be redundant.

Quote
I would also like to suggest reconsidering the tooltip functions that you have indicated by the ? logo. This is a useful feature, but why did you make them visible all the time? In the web version, some windows overlap each other and become unreadable:

✅ We thought it would be more convenient this way, but judging by customer feedback, it didn't work out. We have removed them. :)

Quote
If you leave any number of pop-ups open, they will remain on the screen after moving to screen 3, but when moving to screen 4, they will disappear.

✅ That's funny, we've fixed it. We've disabled the ability to pin windows.

Quote
When you click on Start new mixing ⇆ your tumbler code will already be entered in the corresponding field, but as soon as you change the language, all these settings will disappear and you will have to enter everything manually. This is what it looks like:

✅ We have already described this issue above. It's due to the dynamic nature of our system.

Quote
What happens when I first want to delete the order information and then start a new mix with a new tumbler code:

✅ The tumbler code is not connected to your current order. After deleting your order, your code will still work.
We are planning to release two important articles with illustrations soon:

1. How the Bitcoin mixer [banned mixer] works.
2. What is a Tumbler code and how does it work.

We will try to explain in detail how our project works as a whole and its individual modules.

Quote
Why can’t first delete information about the previous order, and then start a new mixing with the new tumbler code already inserted? This is convenient, but the site is imperfect and allows you to select one thing, and then immediately transfers you to another screen.

✅ We've made a change. Information about your order will be deleted, but there will no longer be an automatic redirect to the homepage.

Quote
Another bug. I previously talked about the problem of changing the language on the title screen and I see that this problem has been fixed... but not completely. The top logo works correctly, but the bottom one also resets the language settings:

✅ We've fixed the issue you mentioned. The language change functionality now works correctly across all elements of the homepage, including the top logo and other sections.

Quote
Next, let's look at your list of links at the bottom of the page, I suggest you add an address verification function there:
So why not add it to the main page? This is much more convenient than placing a mention of this service in the depths of the FAQ, and even in the form of text rather than a hyperlink.

✅ To make address verification more accessible, we have now introduced an "offline" version of this feature
/verify]https://[banned mixer]/verify (https://[banned mixer)

Quote
I also recommend that you create a separate page with a brief description of all your advantages that clearly distinguish you from other mixers, for example, the Benefits page:

✅ Added to the home page

Quote
I also want to draw attention to additional social networks. There is nothing else besides bitcointalk and twitter.

✅ We've heard your feedback and have decided to temporarily remove the Twitter icon. Currently, we are focusing our resources on other aspects of our service, but we do plan to revisit and expand our presence on additional social networks in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to enhance our user experience.

Quote
I would like to have links to these forums and reviews so that you can check this information in order to familiarize yourself.
Knowing how paranoid crypto users can sometimes be, I can tell you that some, at the first glance at your mixer, may have a strong feeling that you are some kind of scam or have been abandoned for a long time. There are no methods of communication, Twitter is abandoned, there are no other social networks, there are only 4 pages with posts on the forum, no other forums are indicated. Distribution in the crypto community is currently about zero, I hope you will correct this situation.

✅ We've added links to the forum and reviews directly within the text that you mentioned. You can now verify our service and interact with the community through these links. The text that you referred to has been created as an SEO block with the relevant tasks in mind.

Quote
I understand why this happens and it throws me to the bottom of the screen, because your previous open tab closes immediately after the next one opens. Since you have them of different sizes, this effect occurs. I'll come back to this in another chapter of this review and show you the real scale of the problem associated with this way of presenting information to users.

I would like to pay special attention to this section of the site, because there is something to improve and finalize. As I wrote above, this section has problems both in the web version and in the mobile versions. Despite the fact that I consider this format for presenting information extremely controversial (I mean opening separate hidden tabs for each FAQ item), there are services that have implemented this function well:

✅ With the recent update, we have resolved this issue, ensuring a smoother user experience.

Quote
When working with chat, language settings are also reset. If I create a chat and then try to delete it, I will be redirected to the title screen with the language settings reset. The algorithm is exactly the same as when trying to delete information about a completed mixing:

✅ We've made the necessary adjustments to prevent language settings from resetting when working with the chat feature. Now, when you create or delete a chat, your language preference will remain unchanged.

Quote
It’s a pity that I didn’t pay attention to this in my first review, otherwise I would strongly recommend that you ask users who are fluent in the language that is presented on your site to check its correctness. I checked the Russian version of the site and found some errors in the texts and words. After my review, you can be sure that the Russian translation is okay, but I'm not sure about the other language versions. Ask the community to check the translations of your site. I will point out to you very obvious errors in the Russian text, I will not find fault with various missing commas. What I highlighted with a red frame in the pictures should be replaced with what I highlighted with green text, since this is the correct spelling.

✅ We appreciate your feedback and plan to have all the original texts undergo additional review. In any case, thank you for the corrections you've provided! We have made the necessary changes and addressed the issues you highlighted.

✅ In the near future, all texts will be reviewed and corrected by native speakers of each language.

I deliberately entered the Captcha wrong, however, it took some time (more than a few seconds) to let me know that the captcha i entered is incorrect. Although not a big deal, but the response time can be increased.

✅ The loading process occurs dynamically using encryption and a secure data transmission protocol, so the speed is optimized for maximum security.

Quote
Downloading the letter of grantee is optional, why not make it mandatory? This is my suggestion as this will help those who are mixing. Normally people will ignore and not download the letter of grantee once they feel comfortable with the mixer after using it multiple times. (maybe ask to tick in the checkbox that the letter of grantee is downloaded before proceeding ? )

✅ From a usability perspective, even something as simple as a CAPTCHA can impact conversion rates. Introducing another mandatory step would likely reduce the number of orders.

[banned mixer] FAQ mention it support 5 address type (P2PKH, P2SH, P2WPKH, P2WSH, P2TR ), so i decide to test it briefly. For Bech32/Bech32m address, i use test data from BIP 173[1] and 350[2]. [banned mixer] handle mixed case (Bech32), testnet addresses, upper case (Bech32) properly. But i found it it failed on several uncommon cases

✅ This issue has been addressed and fixed.

When we wait for the mixing to be done, in step 4 "In progress", there could be a sound signal each time the process moves to the next mixing phase (with the user being able to deactivate it). This allowed, if the user keeps the browser window open, to always know that a phase of the process has been passed;

✅ It's not possible (without obtaining autoplay authorization from the user) to implement this feature due to browser limitations.

Quote
Still related to the mixing code, from what I understand, it is only possible to use one code at a time. How does it work if the person has two codes that have not yet been used, and only wants to use them in a third mix? It could be useful to have the option to add more than one mixing code.

✅ We will describe this in a future article on the website.

✅ We answered this above, thank you for the tests!



Summary.

1. Almost every tester emphasized the importance of the Tumbler code explanation. We will prepare a detailed article on how it works. In a nutshell, it's an important module that ensures secure operation with the system.
2. We are aware of translation issues, and native speakers are already working on corrections.
3. Over the course of two testing phases, we have completed over 200 tasks.

Tasks in the queue:

1. Partner program
2. API
3. Additional texts on the homepage, new articles
4. Additional languages
5. Editing all texts by native speakers

At the moment, we believe the system is ready for full operation. We have increased reserves for mixing to 150 coins, with more than 350 coins remaining in cold wallets in case of reserve shortages with a small number of clients at the initial stage of operation.

We will be launching a signature campaign in the near future.

Thank you all for participating in the testing!

My idea is for the user to be able to choose this option. In other words, you can create this option that is activated/deactivated by the end user in their browser.
Either way, it's not an important resource, and so I understand your point.

I have been watching this service throughout its review campaign and after due diligence, have applied to the signature campaign. There is not much at all that I have found to be potentially non-factual on the website, and overall the site looks like it does as it says. Pros, hybrid version of coinjoin, a straight-forward way to measure the anonymity you will get from the service, and clear statements as to how all kinds of data are handled.

Of course, if there was a non-javascript version available in the future, this would particularly be another pro. This should be a priority.

However
There is one very bold claim that would actually required quite a technical way of working, which I am struggling to wrap my head around:

Quote from: [banned mixer
website]
5. Deposit Address Removal: Regular removal of Bitcoin addresses used for deposits; no retrospective data retrieval in case of the Bitcoin mixer compromise.

Is this talking just about the website/database, or does this claim also extend to the Bitcoin node(s) being used to run the service? As deleting individual addresses from the wallet.dat in the Bitcoin node has been reported to be not possible on a command-line/operational level, you would need to delete the wallet every time and restart the node, which would be seemingly infeasible for a mixer/tumbler to achieve as this would cause constant node disruption...Unless [banned mixer] can additionally claim to have also created a way to create/delete wallets automatically within the node without disrupting system operation?

Your choices are:

    Shut down the client, delete the entire wallet.dat, restart the client and allow it to create a new wallet that doesn't contain that address (or any of the others from that wallet)
    Use a utility such as pywallet to edit the wallet.dat directly and remove the data that you don't want in there
    Stop using Bitcoin Core to maintain accounts, and implement your own account system outside of Bitcoin Core

Reference: Solved: List & delete addresses from command line (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=911735.0)

Maybe after this amount of time you can do this without shutting down/restarting the node (not confirmed) however, could this be explained?

This is a minute detail that after careful analysis, is currently the only thing I could find to be clarified - aside from a careful analysis of the mixing algorithms will be needed to, which I will happily do in the future for the community and service in spare time.

In the meantime, good luck with the service, campaign and please keep the community safe and satisfied in the long run :)

It's gratifying to know that someone is interested in the technical details we describe in our texts :)

This is a simple but crucial part of security.

From our "tests" we haven't found any project that has thought about this feature.
Probably, this feature isn't implemented due to specific 'technical challenges,' like using addresses from different wallets at the same time when creating transactions.
However, we've fully implemented this feature.

In short, we regularly switch wallets.

Everything happens automatically. For example, today deposit addresses come from wallet1, and change also goes to wallet1. Tomorrow, deposit addresses come from wallet2, and change also goes to wallet2. When all addresses from wallet1 are used, we remove that wallet.



p.s

This part is also crucial because without the ability to use addresses from different wallets when forming transactions, we wouldn't be able to fully implement transaction generation based on Blockchair patterns.

This was easily noticeable during tests when transactions described by our testers were formed using addresses of different types. At that moment, we simply took addresses from different wallets.

for example,

out   | in
3....  | bc1..
bc1.. | client
bc1.. | 3..

I completely agree, I haven't seen any mixer claim it just yet or else I believe I'd have asked the same question. If so, it has gone over my head or there were more pressing things to ask about them.

This is on the money as well. Great job, truly. Your answers makes perfect sense and there isn't much for me to come back with in response. You have shown a good example of the careful crafting that is behind the sleek front-end with your explanation, kudos to both the work and the response, and I look forward to testing the service further in the future!

We're stoked to hear what you think, so feel free to drop your thoughts after!

I have seen this animated video and really loved the Tumbler Character and costume in the video.  :)

A great piece of thought process as the message is also conveyed in a lighter mode.

Hi UmerIdrees,

We aimed to break down our Bitcoin anonymizing service’s key goals in a fun, animated way - glad it caught your eye and gave you something to think about!

Your positive vibes mean a lot to us. It's feedback like yours that keeps us pumped and ready to create more awesome stuff.

I'm grateful and excited to be one of the participants of your signature campaign, I've checked the site and I can say that it has a good design, and is newbie-friendly everything a newbie wants to know about how a mixer works is easily explained and the video summarizes it all.

The mixing industry is highly competitive but how you present your platform makes it a cut above the rest, looking forward to [banned mixer] as one of the leading brands in the community when it comes to Bitcoin mixer.

I believe up to 60 posts per week will be paid.  ;)
edit: You're serious about this though

Now a serious question, how much will this decision affect your future business?
I assume that the presence on the Bitcointalk forum was a significant part of your service presentation strategy. It is even the only channel for communication through this forum. I understand if it is too early or too public for this kind of discussion.
Looks like you'll need to integrate an affiliate program ASAP though.

Good news from Tumbler.
However, I must point out one wrong statement that I read in one of your blogs. When we talk about choosing the best Anonymous Bitcoin wallets, Ledger can't possibly be in close competition here. We all already know many of their shortcomings, but just yesterday someone published an analysis of their application and the results are in great contrast to privacy and anonymity for all users of this wallet.
They collect every piece of information about the user's activities within the wallet, from the most common scroll to assets.

Here is a Twitter thread: https://x.com/rektbuildr/status/1732542258698694875?s=20

@dkbit98 exposed it on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5370521.msg63289409#msg63289409

What prompted you to start advertising your service right during the sinbad shut down? It seemed a bit suspicious IMO to immediately trying to fill the vacancy as if it was all planned ahead of time, which I believe had some sort of influence on the decision of banning mixers forum wide, of course I know we are all innocent until proven guilty, what I'm saying is that you guys make it look very obvious even though it could be just that you realized there is an opportunity to take advantage of, and you took it. 😉 anyhow good luck after december.

If you want privacy, use Bitcoin Core with Coin Control through Tor. To add security, set it up as watch-only online wallet, and sign offline.

Absolutely.

Zengo looks shady IMO.

I am not familiar with "MPC wallets", I will check it later more in details, but I personnaly appreciate a lot to own my private keys.
It looks like they want to propose the exact opposite of the essence of Bitcoin itself:
TL;DR: “Not your keys, not your coins” has resulted in over $100 billion lost or stolen since the early 2010s. Zengo is the leading MPC wallet that secures over 1 million customers. Check it out, or read below to learn more about MPC wallets.

I am not involved in Political stuff in general, I don't care about that. But when it comes to privacy, the State of Israel is not working in user's interests IMO. Which GPDR policy is protecting their users ? Isn't Israel know for building a lot of shady softwares (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)) stealing people data?



So, I should : give my email address, potentially a biometric data of my face, and others things (IP, communications etc..) to a company located in a country known to abuse of people's data ; all these things to "protect my BTC" from being lost or stolen?

Maybe I am ignorant, but I will stay with Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Trezor (and Tor). Open-source rules

A promotional campaign has been scheduled to be launched here on the forum before Sinbad is shut down. I remember that Royce started a review campaign, and the signature campaign was scheduled to be launched immediately afterwards, which is what actually happened. The forum's decision to cancel all activities related to mixers was two or three days after the launch of the signature campaign and before Royce had even chosen the accepted members.

Of course, you can, but wouldn't it be better to check a little before you write the first thing that comes to your mind? @coupable already answered that the campaigns were planned much earlier, but of course, you couldn't check that, could you?

Thank you for your feedback and interest in the article published on our site. I would like to clarify that the article is based on official data provided by various wallets, and our aim was to present this information in a neutral and factual manner. We did not seek to refute or confirm the anonymity claims of each wallet, but rather to provide the public with the information available.

It's important to understand that anonymity in the realm of cryptocurrencies is a complex and multifaceted issue. While some wallets claim to offer anonymity, practical security and privacy can vary based on numerous factors. Hence, the article emphasizes the use of Bitcoin mixers, such as [banned mixer] service, as one of the methods to enhance transaction privacy.

We value every opinion and are open to constructive dialogue. However, I'd like to remind everyone that the main purpose of this forum thread is to discuss and share experiences related to the use of the ]"[banned mixer] Bitcoin mixer"  (https://[banned mixer).
We encourage focusing on this topic in future posts.

Perhaps his position can be understood to a certain extent, since Israel's situation in the medical arena at this time is very tense, and there are already boycott campaigns for Israeli products or companies that support Israel spread in many parts of the world. This is subject to many ideological differences and the debate can drag on for years. But it cannot be denied that Digaran's position is being listened to, and there are many who support him publicly and secretly.
Personally, I am in a position of support for the cause of the people in Gaza and I condemn Israel’s crimes. But at the same time, I cannot generalize the situation to everything that is managed in Israel, whether factories or companies, especially since Israel provides many products, especially in modern technologies such as blockchain and others.

This was never about supporting a certain company, this was about maintaining privacy, I don't think such wallets are good to be used.
Btw, I know everything, no need to spill the beans.😂  I have a problem of "always assuming", I thought their sudden appearance was suspicious, that's all and if you look at my second post here, you'd realize I was wrong and assumed they are directly operated under the laws of state of Israel.

To begin with, you have to accept that businesses are not created with the purpose of running bounty campaigns on the Bitcointalk forum. Only a small part of the crypto business presented itself here, which is a confirmation that it is possible to do business even without a signature campaign. So it is not mandatory to make a plan to avoid the ban and the whole business adapts exclusively to the Bitcointalk forum.

As far as I can see, Tumbler has started promoting on other platforms, which is part of the strategy that excludes activities on this forum.

I will agree with you on the privacy aspect. But there will be no boycott on any ideological basis, whether for or against. My answer to you was based on the current trend, which is about Israel and the rest of the world’s boycott of products related to its position with Palestine. On an ideological basis, my position will not change, and I will continue to reject all tampering.
Of course, if any of the wallets is the subject of criticism or proof regarding one aspect of privacy, it is certain that it is not completely trustworthy for use in any way, and I agree with you that this must be alerted and pointed out. Israel's relationship to the matter remains unknown to me until the company's connections are examined more closely.

Can you please clarify about your sudden decision of ending your advertisement 2 weeks earlier than scheduled dead line? What I'm trying to understand, was it your decision or the ad manager's? Because there was no need to pack and leave after only a few criticisms about an article you posted, you could simply either remove the article or just add a disclaimer that you are not supporting any particular country or company.

Moreover, what you did just added more to our "suspicion", it's like when you grab the stick, the thief runs. I hope you understand there is no hostility towards any Bitcoin service providers unless they are proven to be illegal by international standards, like sin bad became a hostile Bitcoin service provider the moment it was seized.  So if we are posting here, it's not because we are your enemies, we just need transparency that's all.

In my personal opinion, it's a mistake, the decision of one person for a multi-million audience.

Ok, it seems we can't communicate the way I was expecting, nevertheless it was a mistake to drop everything after announcing to pay $10 per post until the end of 2023, the actions of your advertising partners also reflect on your reputation, if they promised to pay people $10 per post but suddenly backed off from the deal which is by the way not against the campaign rules, is however looking bad on your reputation, they should have consulted with you first, but now that you also agree with their decision, means one thing, you should not be trusted with any amount of money, since you can easily back off from your words, there is no guarantee that you'd do the same when it comes to keeping the transactions between clients and your service off the records and not keep any logs.

This also indicates that with such attitude and unstable behaviour, you are not to be considered a trustworthy service to handle money, again unless you resume the campaign and admit it was a rushed decision made by your incompetent advertising partner. Despite everything, do note that we are watching your activities with vigilance no matter where you operate.

We assess how much we're willing to pay for the amount of orders our partner brings in.
Weak advertising, few orders, minimal percentage / active advertising, many orders, higher percentages.
You can start with the minimum percentage, and we'll see the potential to increase the reward.
To activate your partner account, you'll need to go through a brief interview with our support team on our website.

Here's how it works and who might find it interesting:

For example, if your site ranks in the top 10 search results for the query "Bitcoin Mixer," a user clicks on your site, sees an advertisement for our service, and, upon navigating to our site and creating an order, you earn a percentage of our profit.

What if you don't have a website? How can you earn?

- Advertise on Google/Bing/Yahoo/Duckduckgo with your referral link; skilled individuals can easily bypass restrictions on crypto advertising.
- Order banners on third-party sites with your referral link.
- Publish articles and press releases; many thematic sites offer this opportunity for free, and well-written pieces can top search results.
- List site with your referral link in thematic directories (Tordex, Torch, etc., can help).
- Engage in forum discussions, on Reddit, Twitter, etc.
- Include your referral link in the signature of your forum posts (except Bitcointalk).
- Share in social media; numerous crypto news sites provide this opportunity.
- Advertise in crypto messenger groups.
- Collaborate with crypto video bloggers; include your referral link in the description.
- Explore podcast opportunities.
- Conduct email marketing campaigns.

There are many possibilities; these are just a few ideas that, when implemented, can generate substantial profits.

Weak advertising, few orders, minimal percentage / active advertising, many orders, higher percentages.
You can start with the minimum percentage, and we'll see the potential to increase the reward.

Interesting, I am not a website owner. But I have worked on a few projects before.
I have promoted some websites on crypto ad networks. adbtc.top, for example.
I am curious about what the support team asked in the interview before approving the partner account.

You should update the FAQ on the site because there is still an old notification that you don't have a referral program.

Can you explain to me, if one of my referrals comes again after the first mixing is finished, is he still my referral? for example, if he continues to use the discount code, it would probably be a link if it is the same user, and what if he does not use the discount code?

Also, where is the referral link for the Tor page?

Thank you, we will make changes soon. In the upcoming updates, several new points related to the referral program will be added to the FAQ

The user's browser stores a unique cookie that persists even after closing the browser. When the user returns, they will continue to be your referral.

Also, where is the referral link for the Tor page?

Example:
http://[banned mixer]/#ref=XXXXXXXX-XXXXXX

In the upcoming updates, we will add a field to the dashboard.

Really? People come looking for privacy but don't wipe the cookies from their Tor browser?

Modern browsers use secure cookie files, and there is nothing to be afraid of in their storage.
In the standard build of the TOR browser, it is not possible to transfer information about cookie files from one site to another.

Except for linking all your visits to a certain website, which is bad for privacy.

The default of Tor browser is a lot better: it doesn't store cookies:
Cookies are only valid for a single session (until Tor Browser is exited or a New Identity is requested).

it is not possible to transfer information about cookie files from one site to another.
The privacy risk involves more than just "other sites": it includes not telling any site that you've visited it before.
In short: cookies are bad for privacy, no matter what's in there.

Tor Browser's settings erase all cookies, history, site data, cache, and the like by default and there is no way to change it. Even if a site were to set a cookie, it would be deleted when you quit the browser.

Edit: seeing you just posted that while I was typing, they are probably setting cookies for the other browsers on clearnet as well.

It can be changed, there's a tickbox (http://about:preferences#privacy):
Code:
Delete cookies and site data when Tor Browser is closed

They just never close Tor browser and always keep one identity, that's enough  :D



I sent PM to tumbler few days ago asking if Ratimov/Symmetrick returned money he received from them for 6 months in advance, but they never replied anything.
Since he is not online from December 11, it's safe to assume he is never coming back and returning the money he received.
Final ''Trick'' move.
