Why need to use a Mixer?

[Totalreturnfund]

But should we say that BTC without mixer aren't anonymous?

no.
bitcoin anonymity has nothing to do with mixers.
you can be totally anonymous as long as the bitcoins in your address is not linked to you personally.

for example you can buy bitcoin with cash and receive it in your bitcoin address, that way nobody can know this address is for "you"

But you could trace BTC at everytime on blockchain and it's really difficult to buy large amount of BTC per cash in a lot of country

well mixers are usually used in order for other people not to be able to trace back the addresses of the cryptocurrencies owners and it gives some good anonymity

It has lots to do with mixers. Good mixers ensures that the funds are not spendlinked to an address in question. If it is spendlinked, one can potentially link all the transaction together. At some point, you may somehow reveal your identity by sending the coin to a site that requires ID verification. If you don't mix your coin, you can consider it as at most pseudonymous.

Usually it's illegal to buy large amounts of bitcoin with cash.

A bitcoin address is anonymous the same way an email address is anonymous, the moment you tell someone the address is yours it is no longer anonymous.

you can trace the bitcoin, but you wont know who owns that wallet. in the end, it still have some anonymity.

yeah it can be traced and yeah it is hard to buy large amount of bitcoin with cash, but my point is something else.

take this scenario as an example for 100% anonymity.
you meet someone face to face and pay him cash and he sends BTC to your address lets call it address1 and you use that BTC to pay for a service to address2, lets say you buy a VPN with your BTC now anybody who is tracing the transactions sees bitcoin coming in address1 from some source and goes out to address2 the only thing he can get out of his trace is (with a low chance) the owner of address2 and sees the funds were spent to buy a VPN.
and in all this your identity was never revealed.

After reading all replies i came to one conclusion that to hide the transaction details of the bitcoins address they use mixer, but still their is one question? that is when bitcoin is a anonymous transaction which cannot find the real user and cannot know who the owner is every thing is hided in the transaction as when creating the wallet we are not giving our address or any type of identity.

My question is when the bitcoins transaction itself is not traceable then what is the use of mixer, just to others should not know about your address transaction you are using mixer paying so much high fees , i dont see any type of logic in this. Only the person who are really involved in illegal activities like hacking others wallet and stealing coins or buying illegal products only dont wanted their address should be tracked other than this no other normal user will want to use mixer by paying high fees uselessly.

The function of the mixer it's to mixing or hiding your bitcoin address and someone can't tracking your bitcoin address, and more to privacy. I sure a lot of whales is using this to secure they address or money. and sometimes I using mixing service to secure my bitcoin address.

[JeffBrad12]

Thanks for reply, but how safe are Mixer? Is there any involved risk ?

But I never looking a problem from someone is using the mixing service. but the risk is always there in every place. but just using a trusted mixer. but for me mixing is safe. maybe just having a lower risk. but i always using the mixer to secure my BTC.

Once you find the wallet of the Bitcoin though it's just an issue of lack of information and stalking could eventually provide that. Everyone feels paranoia, for some paying the mixing fee is necessary to keep their lives private so that's what they do. At least that's why I can see people mixing their coins.

[Strongkored]

i will redirect you to this article on bitmixer.io :
Why should I mix my coins?

it is not all about scamming people or wanting to hide your illegal activity. if i am not mistaken it was BurtW who got arrested and was forced to pay a lot of legal fees to prove he is not a criminal just because he used bitcoin

edit: there you go

So in essence remains the same, right? after I read the explanation of Bitmixer.io if we use their services, we still have to provide the original address for the purpose of sending the goods?

And I have already explained above that you feel you could be interrupted if the transaction being traced or your bitcoin balance in the view of many people, I suggest using any addreas only for one time use. I think with this we do not necessarily have to mix our bitcoin. We know when bitmixer.io being used by a corrupt person who was washing his money, then our bitcoin will also be mixed with the illicit money, right?

I actually know less about the case because of the language used by the authorities is very confusing. But broadly I think BURTON WAGNER arrested for violating laws that apply in the US. Although we know bitcoin decentralized but when we conduct bitcoin transactions in violation of applicable laws I think it's wrong. In other words if your country prohibits using bitcoin and there is legislation in force, then we should avoid using bitcoin. Thank you,

You would not know that the bitcoins you have received, were gained from some illegal actions, so you use this service to tumble it a bit, and to clean it for your use. In the end, you will need to justify your actions and if it was not for criminal intent, you would be fine.

I mix my coins, because I want stronger anonymity for my savings. Why would you want everyone to simply follow your money to your primary cold storage and make that the target for hackers? See mixers as a extra level of protection. ^smile^

I try it before and i dont know what is the use of bitmixer.. My friend advice that use bitmixer so that your bitcoin is not traceable. But after that i dont know what is the main reason why i need to uae bitmixer.

If you read this thread thoroughly, then you will get some better picture on the use of bitmixer. If you don't want anyone to trace your identity after you sell your coins or buy something, then you can use these mixtures. It is good to use if you're mining your won coins.

Just as you said, mixers are good opportunity for privacy and that's just about what mixers is all about. It will definitely give you some relief from having anxiety about people stalking you. When your anonymity is your biggest concern then mixing services will ensure that with some additional layers.

[Cuidler]

Only the person who are really involved in illegal activities like hacking others wallet and stealing coins or buying illegal products only dont wanted their address should be tracked other than this no other normal user will want to use mixer by paying high fees uselessly.

If only the ones really involved in illegal activities are using mixers, there would be no use of mixers at all as you get somebody else coins involved in illegal activities instead. So this would not help you to use mixers at all if you wanted to get some 'clean' coins not involved in illegal activities before.

You get somebody else coins because this is how mixers work, you send Bitcoin to mixer and you recieve another Bitcoin sent to mixer long ago by somebody else, there is no other magic involved. So I would adwise to use the coin mixers with caution, because you never know what coins you really get.

When your anonymity is your biggest concern then mixing services will ensure that with some additional layers.

But in practice, bitcoin mixer is widely used by criminals who get bitcoin from illegal activities and selling of contraband (drugs). And in my view, people rarely use bitcoin services mixer to protect their privacy. Because for people who have no problem why fear for stalking, but to criminals it is very dangerous because they can be traced to their identity and imprisoned. So privacy, just as an excuse.

Basically, if someone has access to your bitcoin address, they can see all your transactions. If they have a way to link your personal details (name, address) to your bitcoin address, they can in essence see all your transactions. A mixer basically sends all your money to another address you own. It does not make your money untraceable, but extremely hard to.

[MTBTT]

I think because bitcoin transactions in open or transparent so when your name is already listed in a bitcoin address. then the mixer will be very helpful to make you into anonymous

Hiding your address from some who want to track your transaction, it's the main point of using a mixer and sending to a various bitcoin address. and keep your privacy from everyone to check your address historical.
