Our latest update contains a suggestion from Danslip's post above.

When dealing with bitcoin, it is generally a good idea to use a new address for every transaction you do.

As not every user might be aware of it, we implemented a new feature reminding users about it.
If the same bitcoin address is reused across multiple payouts of FoxMixer, a privacy warning shows up indicating that it is better to use a different address for each payout.
This is a precautionary measure on our site for more effective bitcoin mixing.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review about our service and for being so thorough!


That's a reasonable suggestion. We will consider to add a check for address equality and show a warning to the user if this is the case.


Well, it is explicitly stated that 0.001 BTC is the fee per payout address. It is also to be expected since there is a need to cover transaction fees also for low amount mixes.
Directly after creating a mix you can check the amount you will receive as a payout, so there is no surprises here.


The amount of confirmations is in most cases not a hurdle as the minimum payout delay is 2 h.
Since a new block is mined every 10 minutes on average, the confirmation is in almost all cases completed at the time the two hours have passed.




Not quite. You are right, it is stated explicitly that each mix must be used only once.
But we are quite some time in the business now and have acquired some knowledge about what kind of things can happen.
And if somebody erroneously sends a second transaction before the payout was completed, the mixing engine will wait for that second transaction to fully confirm before initiating the payout.
Thus, the full amount of bitcoins will be payed out.
It is just not the documented and recommended way of using the service. But for sure we invested a lot of time in implementing the logic to deal reasonably with corner cases as the one you mentioned such that no bitcoins are "lost".



Yes, we embrace Segwit transactions due to the advantages you mention.

 The FoxMixer team wishes all of you a great start to the new year! 

Let's continue the success in bitcoin privacy.
Our support team is eager to answer your questions for 2020.

A new update to our automated infrastructure was applied.
In case of a hardware failure of any single cluster node, the failover time for switching to a backup node was reduced.



As the year is approaching its end, it is time to draw a short resume for 2019

A large share of the mixing service fee has always been dedicated to the investment into our server infrastructure.
Thanks to your contribution, we're able to provide and extend our global network of load balancers and broadcast servers.

The redundancy-by-design approach of FoxMixer results in a "no single point of failure" policy.
Next to maximizing ease of use, FoxMixer is coded from the ground with this principle in mind -  and it has not been added as an afterthought!
It can't.
From our experience with cluster management, multi-node systems which are bended to failure tolerance as an afterthought are doomed to fail.

Thinking about critical design questions and rare corner-cases beforehand is time consuming and sometimes straining, but has payed off for our team at every step we have taken.
This has allowed us to deliver the high-quality service and uptime that FoxMixer is providing.
And still, we're maintaining all of this with all log features turned off. We don't delete logs. Because we don't even generate them.

The mixing engine itself has always been highly fault-tolerant.
And now, our infrastructure is becoming more and more automated as well. To such an extend that it can cope automatically with all kinds of events that may occur.


We're proud to announce that there has been no downtime due to hardware or software failures during the entire year at all, even though the amount of mixing requests has increased.
All mixes were payed out in time. All of them.

Our team doesn't want to miss out the opportunity to say thank you to all our new users that are trusting us with their large amounts of coins
and we highly value the users who have been following us along the way since our start back in 2017!

Keep your privacy

And have a good mix!

No, your coins are never lost if you have downloaded the Letter of Guarantee.
Contact us and we can solve all kinds of problems.

Hi,

for the exchange, the address of your mix looks like any other bitcoin address. The exchange and everybody else can't differentiate whether it is your address or the one of FoxMixer.
And if you enter your own address as the payout destination of the mix, this should work.
But keep in mind that the payment to the mix address should happen within 48 hours after generation. If the exchange is going to verify your payment manually then this may potentially take longer.

Many users have been emailing us about it. And since our regular user base grew quite decently within the last few years, we are very proud to be able to invest our time into new and important developments.

And that is:
From now on, FoxMixer provides full SegWit support!

Yes, that's right! Starting from now, all newly generated FoxMixer addresses are P2SH addresses (starting with "3...") which are supported by almost all wallets these days. We see this as a crucial step to keep up with the development of Bitcoin and to achieve faster confirmation times with lower fees. Some redesigns of the mixing engine architecture were necessary to fully support SegWit addresses. Several extensive tests of all changes were conducted by our team within the last months before the update went live.

Up until now it was possible to use only addresses starting with "1..." or "3..." for payouts. This change additionally enables the use of Bech32 addresses as payout destination for your mixes.
Many wallets can already generate addresses starting with "bc1..." and FoxMixer is now able to send directly to these addresses.

Try it out and profit from the advantages of SegWit!

Have a good mix

A recent core update enables more parallel requests and better load balancing for our site.

No downtime was involved. All users got their payouts in time.

Have a good mix!

Two updates that improve the page performance (both clearnet and tor) were applied yesterday.

As usual, all updates to FoxMixer are applied gradually as rolling updates with zero downtime and continuous self-testing.

Hi! I'm sure we can help you there.
It's easiest if you write an email to our support team via contact(at)foxmixer.com

Make sure to enclose your letter of guarantee.

Great idea! That enables mixing directly from the terminal. We've looked into the sources, it's implemented very well and clearly plus has some nice error handling.
An additional suggestion would be to accept a param "mixcode" and pass it on to the HTTP GET request in order to support users that do multiple consecutive mixes.

We've sent .005 BTC as a tip to your "affiliate" address for the implementation work.




Thanks for the listing. The API and the Transaction Origin Randomization are also features you may want to add.

Yes, we're not running a signature campaign.

Recently, a major update was published to FoxMixer. It is mainly driven by user feedback we receive directly during support requests.

We're happy to share with you that a lot of work went into the redesign of the status page of FoxMixer and it was revamped to a more reactive version that instantaneously updates to better reflect the current status of the mix.
Many times, our support team was contacted during a mix and asked whether everything is working correctly. It's understandable, since bitcoin mixing as many other services means trusting an external party.
Now, the status page allows to check that everything works out as expected during the entire life cycle of every mix.


Second to that, a new version of the unique Deep Mempool Analysis feature was applied.
As much as we love to observe the growing global adoption of bitcoin, it more frequently results in high confirmation times. We have taken countermeasures and increased the payout miner fee base factor for a fast confirmation of all payouts from FoxMixer, usually within the next block. The miner fee itself is still randomized for maximum privacy.

The tutorials page now contains more detailed instructions on how to mix using the Bitcoin Core wallet.

Next to working on the development of the core of FoxMixer, we're also constantly setting up, updating and maintaining all the backbone infrastructure required for the unbeaten up-time, fast support and high quality of the mixes.

We're happy to see the continuous increase in our recurring user base that allows us to keep working on this project, developing smart algorithms for the mixing core and we'll continue to improve FoxMixer based on your ideas.
As usual, all feedback is highly welcomed, also directly via our contact email address.

All the best and keep your bitcoin privacy

A new update of the mixing engine was rolled out recently.




Some of the new features:

• Mixcodes - Different Coins Each Time: Up to this point, our huge mixing volume was sufficient to guarantee that no user receives his own coins from an earlier mix again. However, as the mixer gets more popular and more and more users begin to use it, it was necessary to introduce a way to ensure this also for the future.

• Deep Mempool Analysis: If you expect a payout of 4 BTC and at the time of the payout, only transactions of around 0.01 BTC get done, it is evident that analysts will focus on your transaction first. The Deep Mempool Analysis technology actively monitors the volume of current transactions in the bitcoin mempool and shifts payouts to the perfect timeslot, if necessary.

• QR-Codes: The creation of QR codes for mixing addresses allows for convenient sending of coins from a wallet on the smartphone / tablet.

Hi ccoons, thanks for your proposal.
We'll add this feature to our todo list. I'm making sure it will be included during our next update of the site.

Stay tuned.

I know that there are a lot of new Bitcoin mixers entering the market recently.
However, we've been on the market for over half a year now and longer than many other new mixing sites.
We're quite happy with the amount of people trusting our service. Many of our users value the long-term stability that we have proven so far and we receive quite a lot of good reviews.

Moreover, it's our belief that diversity and a bunch of good offers to choose from is part of this market and the Bitcoin ecosystem as a whole.
As an example, just think about what happens if all users rely on one single service and it turns out that the user data gets leaked in whatever way.




I can't tell much about whether and how we will run a signature campaign project at the moment.
It's still an internal discussion about it. Maybe we're also gonna implement a dedicated dashboard on our website for the sigcampaign.
I'll come back on your offer if needed.

For the reviews, we already collected several of the reviews we got from other sites on our website. We also did some free coupon offers in the past on various other forums (this is why there's the coupon button on the site), we might repeat this again.

Thanks for your input.

If you sent the transaction to an address that you own yourself, you could try CPFP, but it's a bit tricky to set up.

For the blockchain app, it doesn't matter how often you open it, as the transaction is broadcasted by the backend servers of blockchain.info anyway. Your iPhone is only a client to their webservice, which operates independently. You can open it, it's the same effect.

Yes RBF has to be supported and enabled. Don't know if blockchain has it enabled.

What wallet do you use? If you use a wallet like Bitcoin Core, then it's best to use an option like -zapwallettxes that drops all pending transactions. Else, your transaction will get re-broadcasted as soon as you open your wallet again.

If you have a wallet that sends coins with RBF option, you could replace the tx by a new tx with higher fee.

Third option is to use a transaction accelerator.


Really, they suggested 4 sat/byte???

For maximum control, it's better to have a wallet that is on your own computer and not a web wallet.
Hoping the best for you.
