localbitcoins would likely be a good option if you met your counterparty and paid in CA$H. Presumably most people into BTC would likely be similar to most of us: wanting privacy.
Too bad localbitcoins does not work very well in my city -- although I have used it.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Great replies thanks everyone. I just used Bitmixer.io and was surprised at how smoothly everything went. Thanks again.
Seems like with a lot of explanation and the another theoretical and then OP is already having his answer with simple act.

If the coins are not directed linked with your sending address then you can use it as a mixer otherwise not, but I would suggest you to try also other services like exchanges because they receive lots of bitcoins as deposits and when you trade and move the altcoins to another exchange and withdraw bitcoin I don't think you can be tracked.

im not affiliate of any kind but basically use satoshimines as mixer.
play game or two and withdraw to new created wallet. coins will be mixed and no trace for owner of satoshi mines. So i assume there is no logs etc. But bitmixer service is so cheap that i really not sure why you actually going full retard using lbc. What if automated script will flag your account? What if lbc monitor tainted coins and you will end up with frozen account until you supply id and other stuff?
Think man, think.
What you said is true about all the services that are not mixers! It means you can use anywhere that there is an option to deposit and withdraw, it can be a dice site, it can be online wallet, it can be an exchanger. But you should know that all of these WILL keep logs. The only option that "may not" keep any logs is a mixer and they only promise not to keep logs. Nobody knows what they really do!

Using localbitcoins is maybe not the most reliable method but it might work. If you are so determined to save the few satoshies. It is better to use real mixer though but even then who can gurantee us for sure that no logs will be kept and exposed? We don't know the real background of mixers.

Any exchange or gambling site could be used as mixing services still using a proper service for mixing your bitcoin is good especially when you are going with high volume. You will never know when your exchange or gambling site go down for maintenance or for any other reason. Still, a reputed mixing service will be free from this kind of down time usually as they do not have any other business to do frequent maintenance.

This must be a right point to consider as we all know there is no history of a mixer site got hacked whereas exchanges and other similar service providers had become victim of hacking. Not using appropriate service for particular requirement may end up in risking our wealth.

If you try to mix coins this way, you can also 'mix' coins with any other sites that uses a random deposit address each time you send bitcoins to their site, but I wouldn't recommend this because(I think) the addresses use the same IP each time, correct me if I'm wrong please.

Just localbitcoins any other site like gambling, exchange or mining website which use different addresses can do the job.
I don't suggest you do this through these websites but rather do it from a mixer. If you really care for your privacy then you should definitely try to mix your coin through a good mixing service.
Try the one on my signature, it's relatively new but it's working quite well up until now and they are transparent with their data in their website.

I don't think so, because on localbitcoin we trade with another people who use bitcoin's wallets personal and it can be tracked. It is different with bitcoin mixing services that has reserve of bitcoins and make sure for keep be anonymous and can not be tracked by other people.

Even if other persons have personal wallets and can be tracked how will other people know that you 2 have traded together. As far as I know personal details are hided in localbitcoins (I am not using it from a long time since I found bitpanda). Still it's much better to use an appropriate service which only deal with bitcoin mixing. If you are serious about your anonymity you should pay the small fee to such website and get fresh coins to your new wallet (I am sure you have open up a new wallet for this )

Hi guys, apologies from this total newbie if this question has been asked in 1000 different versions before What is wrong with the idea that it's a way of "Mixing your coins", when creating a new Receive address (A) in Localbitcoins, then sending from outside, coins to (A) and then after a day or so send from LB again to another wallet or wallets (B and C)? I see the part 2 send address from LB is totally different from the receiving(A) so they are not really connected... or are they? From what I understand from LB's support, the receive address (A) is also not labeled as one from LB anywhere, so it should be rather difficult to trace the coins? I am sure this question applies to most other exchanges or even something like Mycellium where you (can be kind of) anonymous. Thanks Why are you even worried about that ? Nothing is wrong with the idea. You can do that if you want but you still going to have to send your bitcoin to an address you own so how will that help you in mixing ? If you want to do that you should rather exchange your coins from one exchange to the other then to localbitcoin then sell some and buy some more then you cashout to an address send them back to an exchange then delete that wallet you just used and put them back into an exchange then swap for altcoins then from altcoins to bitcoin on a completely new address.
