[banned mixer] Mixer Review Program #2
Bitcointalk username: examplens

---

I looked at your reports about the changes you implemented and possibly those you don't want to change, which were suggested in the previous review campaign. So I won't go back much on the already mentioned problems here.
I also understood that you give priority to suggestions, so I won't deal with much, we praise what I am satisfied with. And there are a lot of good things here  

Website design and usability

- I noticed that you do not have a custom error 404 page created, as part of an SEO strategy it is desirable to have that.
- I won't dwell too much on this, but I would like to see a bit more contrast in the dark mode
- Is there a possibility to add a paste from the clipboard button in this address box? I think it would make it easier to use, especially for users with mobile devices. (you already have a copy from the clipboard button in the deposit address field)



- A similar option copy transaction ID in clipboard would be welcome in order review if someone still wants to check their transaction further



- I would add a fee calculator on the fee page. The calculator is available only after starting the mixing process and solving the captcha, so why not make it available to new visitors who want to first research all about your service.
- Hint clouds are a bit complicated, actually their closure. If you open two or more, they must be closed only in the reverse order, and only by clicking on the question mark icon. I tried this on a mobile device as well, it could have become almost frustrating.



- I would add in the FAQ that the mixing time starts from the moment of the first confirmation. It seems banal, but for example, the fee varied quite a bit during my process, so the first confirmation came with a lot of delay. Even though your timer works almost perfectly, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone complaining about the delay of your service, while sending Bitcoin at 2 satoshis per byte.
- I am surprised that you maintain the position that a thread on Bitcointalk is sufficient for support. This is one of the good solutions, but if a potential new user gets stuck with a problem, he has to go through registration on the forum (which he may not have wanted). But what if he encounters an additional problem with registration on the forum, he will feel cheated. It is a very realistic scenario, you can find out more here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350381.0
- Support chat looks fun, I like it, but as a solution, it seems slow. For example, I sent a request and received a uniform response that I might have to wait 12 hours. If I have a problem and my funds are stuck with you, I might start to panic. Of course, I won't sit next to the chat for 12 hours, but what if someone calls while I'm away, I'll wait for 12 hours again.
- So, one more support channel is probably mandatory.
- Set up a Twitter account or remove it from the page.

Mixing

- For the first mixing, I used the Opera One(version: 103.0.4928.34) browser
- I used Basic security level, and P2SH as the final destination address
- I think I already suggested this. Without downloading the letter of guarantee, it should not be possible to continue the whole process. I'm sure some don't understand the importance of that.
- In the whole process, I did not come across any unclear steps and everything went without any ambiguities.



- Although it's not a big deal, Blockchair found a privacy issue (I saw that you already shared their report)

---

- Of course, I did the second mixing using the TOR site
- Now, I use the PREMIUM security level, using two deposit addresses, one bech32 and one taproot.
- I used the mixing code obtained in the previous review campaign and after checking, I did not manage to find a connection with my previous coins, nor in the other transaction.
- Although it is a premium level, I still expected a higher level of anonymity. It is very easy to connect that I received bitcoins from the same source at both addresses. This needs to be improved.



- I'm not sure if it's because I put too short a time gap between the two addresses for the deposit delay. Maybe I should try again, the first transaction to be after 30 minutes and the second after 70 hours. Would that change the matter? If this has an impact, you should mention it during mixing or at least in the FAQ section.
- I think I saw your statement somewhere that you will use all types of addresses to increase the level of anonymity, but on your side, I didn't notice you using any other than bech32. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

I can't resist the feeling that I forgot to write something.   When I remember, I will probably continue in the ANN thread

It was really fun for me to participate in your campaigns, I hope you got useful suggestions.
Good luck with your business.

In some analyses, I need to know the TX fee for each block from the previous period. Of course, expressed in sat/vB.
Is there a tracking tool like this? Manually can be tiring
Everything I've found is in US dollars, which isn't very helpful to me, especially when there's huge volatility in the value of Bitcoin like the last few days. Plus, all known charts (at least to me) only have an average value for a specific day, and that's not very helpful to me.

There were several criticisms here for the too-frequent opening of new threads to celebrate his achievements on the forum, plus plagiarism charges. He obviously wants to remove all references, at least those under his control.
It doesn't bother me personally that he deleted a few of my posts. Still, with everything from GazetaBitcoin's thread a bit disappointing from someone who is really trying to build a reputation here.


In doing so, he moved some of them to the Russian local board.  For example https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5379199

LoyceV is right, what you claim is completely contradictory. If we're talking about improving the forum, it's completely wrong to say, do something, and if I think it's good, I'll be a part of it. If all those who have the capacity to improve something are excluded, who can be expected to do it?

Kako je moguce da ni jedan drugi medij nije objavio nista o ovome? Ipak se radi o dobro poznatom brendu. I  ovi ako vec planiraju bilo sta da rade, zar im nije u interesu da se siri prica?

Gde da ih pitamo “When bounty camping sir?” 

But there is still a possibility to get a discount on the basic 0.4%, so this information is correct.
Maybe LeGaulois can add some kind of footnote for such cases. Just enough for users to be informed that it is necessary to fulfil certain criteria for the lowest fee.


I totally agree with you on this, I'm not a fan of "up to" offers.

Low fees, i.e. discounts up to 50%, not exclusively as a reward for forum users it is available to everyone under certain conditions. Additional discounts can be obtained depending on the total amount you mix through the service.

Here are the tables https://[banned mixer]/fee

I assume that it is not a paid position, but you are expecting someone on a volunteer basis.
Have you done any analysis at all, how much is needed for another cryptocurrency talk forum? What is the goal you want to achieve with it?

Just a few days ago, you were selling this domain, what are the guarantees that you won't sell it in a few months, so someone who volunteered with you just wasted his time.

Prediction 2: $31,891.00

The same feedback left by different users can have a completely different weight, regardless of the personal trust list. One of the reasons why more experienced forum members do not participate in large numbers in such discussions is whether someone should be a DT member or not.
Perhaps this makes it difficult for newcomers to understand the entire DT system.

A daily update is not necessary, it would then be at the level of a regular job. Once per week or even a month is enough.


Of course, it's useful. If your list saves money for at least one user, it is a successful result. Even if a scam service stops working, you have left a warning on a specific domain. At some point, someone might want to buy such a domain for regular business, but there are still references that the domain is "dirty".

OP, maybe you should formulate the thread name differently. "List Of Scam websites by Learn Bitcoin" can be interpreted as if this is a list of your fraud sites, where you are their owner. I would rather write something like "List Of Scam websites exposed by Learn Bitcoin".

He also added a link at the end of the post, so I believe this is part of some SEO package, guest posting or creating backlinks on a domain with high authority such as bitcointalk.org.

I will suggest you do your own research (as for any service). Nothing can sufficiently explain a service to you like personal experience.
In the end, you are part of a promotional campaign. It is to be expected that you test the service you are advertising, at least once.


The calculator on the site, which lucifur also mentioned, is quite adequate and will give you a precise calculation of the cost of the entire transaction. You can use it even without finishing the whole mixing process.
The only thing that affects the current state of the network is the transaction fee you will pay when depositing on Sinbad.io

So, for your example, if you send 0.002 BTC, using a 1% service fee, the math looks like this
0.002 - 0.00002 ^{1% mixing fee} - 0.0002 ^{service fee per each address} = 0.00178 BTC

note: Sinbad, not simbad 

First of all, you made a mistake in the very beginning. It is always wrong to directly transfer funds between exchanges and other services like gambling, mining pools etc...


Man, @holydarkness gave you the most likely explanation, of why the money was sent to the address from which the last deposit came. Obviously, there was a reason why they insisted on KYC and all checks, and their decision was not to risk further with AML.
Will repost again




I would say that as far as Rolbit is concerned, your case is closed. The money was returned from their side, and it is certain that they will not send money again. Sorry for your loss, but you must accept that.

btw. Is gambling really hard-working?

I don't know if you know, but the Mixtum which you promote in your signature, enter Bitcoins into their service that originate from exchanges Binance, OKEx, DigiFinex, Cryptonex etc...
It is highly likely that some payments came to you from one of those KYC exchanges.
https://[banned mixer]/#how

This is further complicated by the fact that you all use universal word swap. Yes, it is completely suitable for this purpose, but it is therefore also widely used by all exchangers.

btw. what is happening with your site swaplab.cc ?
Website is no longer available? Private Twitter account...

I think we all understood you well. One transaction, where the minimum is 0.001btc is correct. Everything else is considered a donation to the mixer.
This is very clearly emphasized in the mixing process, so there really shouldn't be any confusion




For example, in case you have an amount of 0.0009BTC in two different wallets, the best(only) option is to first consolidate and combine them into one wallet and after that send as much as you want to the mixer.

If we ignore for a moment the illegality of what you propose, this is a great idea. 
Then, after a year or two, you begin to harmonize your platform with legal regulations you start asking all your users for mandatory KYC, otherwise, they won't be able to access their funds.

You are absolutely right here, although I see it differently. In terms of merit, it should not be normal for the user to "relax" and not earn more merits. I want to say, does it have to be a battle for every merit or should it still be possible to get them with a relaxed attitude towards it?
Should Legendary users submit their posts in various prize "unmerited post to be merited" contests, or create an endless "overview of XYZ" threads, which was able to help in getting merit?
