Hi Bitcloak, i wonder if you will use CoinJoin features once MuSig (Schnorr Multisig and signature aggregation) comes out since with proper CoinJoin (and it's upgrades) implementation and MuSig, the user could use your service with less trust required and could benefit both party

Hi, thats a possibility yes, will check it in the future.

Today will decrease (slightly) the service fee and network fee.
A 3rd coin will be the next update, already setting things up for that.

Thank you,
BitCloak

I am just visiting this thread now and from the posted feedback from users
of the service it sounds like this is a service to consider if we want to mix
transactions!

I have never used a mixing service so I dont pretend to know anything about
it. Is the service becoming more popular now that crypto seems to be on a
rise again?

Just jointed your campaign, but browsing trough your website and following the link to the escrow section I just came to this :
*pic*

I know that some ads can be annoying but this is no better. I did't see if it was announced that the site use a miner.
How can I trust to put my money in your service with such things? I see the project have some good reviews but, still.
Hope you can fix it, otherwise I will revise my application for your sig. campaign.

Hi,
tests were done on the escrow with different advertising solutions.
Said ads are gone now. That warning from avast is a side effect from the technology used by the ads, its also one of the reasons they were removed. Mixer service is running since 2016, legit and used daily by lots of users.

Thanks for the answer. I put everything on doubt before trusting someone with my money. I'll keep my signature and support your project Good luck with your future developments
Considering to test your mixer in the near future when I need such service

I like the "Pay Anonymously" feature a lot. You do not have to use the same "method" to send payments to a merchant, so

they cannot trace a pattern, if you re-using a specific Webwallet as your output or if you are using your hardware wallet as

your output address. I heard that people can trace addresses coming from the same device, even if you do not re-use the

addresses on that device. 


Will exchanges be able to detect that the incoming funds are coming from a mixer service? I know using mixer services are

 against some of their ToS. 


I am also in your signature campaign, so I hope your service will grow from strength to strength.. until you reach the level

where Bitmixer.io was.. or even bigger than that. {Their Signature campaign was one of the longest signature campaigns

that were hosted on this forum and I truly belief that it was the secret to their success.} Good luck.

Hi, thank you very much for the nice post.
The "Pay Anonymously" feature was inspired by the old PayShield tumbler (a Tor-only service provided by Sigaint, now gone).
The api on the other hand was designed to be similar to what bitmixer.io used to offer in the past, with added features, more specifically with custom percentages for payouts.

That api feature is the probably the main reason there are quite a few tumblers using BitCloak api under the hood (not owned by me, was notified/contacted by people from their dev teams). Will indeed keep improving the service, investing more in signatures/advertising to grow bigger.

About exchanges: that is not possible, they are not able to see if a bitcoin transaction comes from BitCloak mixer as for them is indistinguishable from a normal transaction coming from your wallet. The mixer never reuses addresses of course.

Will be here for anything, thank you.

This is the most user friendly Mixer 
Do I will get any proof of my participation that prevents the mixing service keeping my bitcoins before the payout without compromising it's reputation?

Hello and thanks, really appreciate that.
On the order screen there is a pgp-signed message with the mixer key, it contains the mixer address
and user address pair for the current order. ("get PGP proof" button).

In the event of missing coins the user could post the pgp-proof publicly and anyone verify the signed message.
If that mixer address received coins but the corresponding user address not it would be safe to blame the mixer service.

Pgp-proof is helpful for more than that, on all phishing clones (there are a lot) the signed message is either invalid
(modified) or contains a different address than the one shown on page. It also makes possible to delete all logs on expiration,
as the user provides all needed proof to support. Could be also called proof of participation yes.
After adding this feature in 2016 it was implemented by other tumblers too.

Will be here,
BitCloak

@BitCloak

Trying to send you a pm but you have the newbie option turned off in your profile

Profile -> Personal message options -> allow newbies to send you PMs.

[BitCloak]

Hi, just turned that option on, you can private message me now.
Sorry about that, I've never looked much into those settings.

The anonymous payment option is incredible. I did not know about such a service. It worked much better than I expected, very fast. I will definitely begin to recommend this service. The possibility of anyone tracking what I do with my bitcoin always worried me, but I always find it very complicated to use the other mixers. Finally felt safe enough to use this service.

tks

Thank you for the nice words.
That same feature is available on the api and also for Bitcoin Cash.

About safety:
Full refunds are offered for all deposits under the minimum or to expired addresses.
This mixer uses Tor-only communication with back ends, using Hidden Service Auth
and other measures. Backend servers (bitcoind ones too) are not on clearnet, websites
are hosted in a bullet proof way and everything was done anonymously from the start.
Also there is no "client code/bit code" logic, its something many tumblers have that keeps track
of the users coins everytime. To do that they must log extensively for long periods of time, its bad.

Well, one of the added benefits of signature campaigns are that the members also gets introduced to the services and are

also inclined to use the service. I always test services, before or just after joining the signature campaign and I can honestly

say I enjoyed the experience. I thought Bitmixer.io was feature rich and user-friendly, but BitCloak is better. 

Thank you for hosting the signature campaign. I think it ends today. Hope it gave your business the required exposure it

needed, because I think we need competition in this scene. {For the other services that I will not mention in your ANN}

Thanks for the great feedback, its a pleasure to see posts like yours.
Yes the signature campaign was set to expire today, but I've just funded 2 more weeks.
Will go live again very soon (izanagi manages the campaign).
For anything I'll be here,

update:
I've just lowered the service fee maximum range,
using the mixing service is now slightly cheaper.
Fee will decrease even more as user base keeps growing,
also deposit transactions are now detected faster for both btc/bch.

Have a great day and enjoy,

Works for me? Not sure what browser you are trying to access it with but it's working with Tor Browser. (firefox) Try clearing your cookies if it continues to not work.

Working now, maybe it was  a temporally problem.

Good news which is very notable as this shows that development is progressing and
also the project is treating the customer as very important.

Im surprised there is not more activity on the thread though?

It was probably down/unavailable for maintenance based on your post time, sorry about that.
Yes the service is running since early 2016, still growing strong.

Thank you, everything you said is indeed true.

Continuing to use BitCloak for my occasional mixing needs, several times these past few weeks. I've never had a problem, both with the service itself and with my numerous interactions with the owner. Huge props for providing reliable diversity to the mixing scene, with new aspects mixed in.
