Disable change addresses. They are the worst when it comes to reveal your bitcoin addresses. Then, always, when you want to do a transaction, think about from which address to send. If you don't want that an address is revealed, maybe because you are invested in a scam company with it, then send the funds to an exchange. Every transaction to that exchange let you give a new address there. You don't want them all go the same address. Then you can send them back and you have fresh coins.

If you sent already from one of your addresses then think about that too. Maybe you don't want that one of the receivers of the transactions does know that you sent to the other service and so on.

Simply use your brain and decide which amount to send from which address.

...

Somekindabitcoin has it right.  There is a bitmixer.io extra fee of BTC0.0005 per extra address added.

Potential users of bitmixer.io should carefully read their instructions, and follow them!

Same with new users of blockchain.info's SharedCoin.

Bitcoin is actually not anonymous, but it's pseudo-anonymous. If you send just random transactions then you are anonymous, but if you want to buy something from bitfinex then you are not.

in the latter you're not anon only because your bank account is linked with your account on bitfinex, not because of bitcoin itself, can be easily avoided by using localbitcoin or bitcointalk to purchase bitcoin



yes many websites require to verify your account by ID
I dont understand these websites that requires to verify you account so deep.
That is absurd for these kind of trades, it's just bitcoin lol

But everytime you put money in an exchange the transaction is linked to some data of you, at least an IP and email address. Also, for the mixers you are trusting that they don't keep logs.. its centralized. Hopefully in the future there are better alternatives. It works for now tho and generally should give you a good level of anonymity if you want that.

Basically true.. Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous and it's already said in the article I posted here. When I read your previous post again and again, I got it better now, thanks Smiley
