Bitcoin Mixer - How to Secure your Identity !

[Kakmakr]

If you use fake identity documents to register a Post Box, and pay someone off the street to collect the content for you, and drop it in a pre-arranged pickup zone, then you would still be able to bypass all that identity tracking. So the system is flawed, not Bitcoin.

You can just use mixers to hide your bigger stash or your main account, but it will not be impossible with the correct legal documents, to trace it back to it's source. ^hmmmmm^

this last part is only true if the mixing service that you are using is keeping logs so the government can trace you through the legal channels. but mixers like bitmixer are not keeping any longs at all, and all the records will be removed immediately.

What logs are kept?
Absolutely no logs or personally identifying information are kept regarding your use of the Bitmixer service. All logs are permanently removed from both our website database and from our Bitcoin wallet after your coins have been transferred out of our reserve. All forwarding entries are removed after 24 hours.

although like any other service it is up to you to decide how much they are keeping their word and destroying the logs.

People should that bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous. They must be very careful when use bitcoin to keep their anonymity.

That's true that bitcoin mixer service can help keep your anonymity, but what if they keep your transaction or turned to be scam?
For normal people, i think one-time address should be good enough.

If you use a trusted mixer, the chances that the mixer turns into a scam is small but still there.
Personally, I only use one wallet, and it works perfectly fine. I just use Bitcoin normally, and I only occasionally use mixing when it's absolutely necessary.

The largest mixers have been running for years, and there's a low chance one will suddenly close at the exact time someone decides to mix his coins through it. There is more profit to be made from running a mixer for a year than suddenly closing and scamming whoever was mixing their coins through it for a duration of six Bitcoin confirmations.

Using smaller mixers is risky because there's less profits from them for the owners.

I have never used any small mixers. Actually, I have never used any mixer other than bitmixer since it is the only one I truly trust even though the fees are kinda high. But it is low enough that it does not really affect the amount of coins that I mix virtually.

As shorena says it is not needed for everything to ask us to provide ID/selfie with ID and lots of other verification procedures which are needed mostly for lifting the limit for debit cards or using exchanges.
I like the idea of bitcoin mixers because sometimes it is needed to use these, but I hate when it is used by hackers which hide their identity in this way mostly.

That's the problem nowadays, many hackers are using these mixer services which enables them to scam and get a way with crimes.
I hope the community will come to a consensus on how to deal with these kind of cases.

I don't know how the community can make a consensus and 'track' these people mixing the bitcoins.
Bitcoin was designed as an anonymous and decentralized currency. Because more and more companies are opening every year makes the bitcoin not anonymous anymore because the bitcoin will be transferred from one exchange/company to another one.

that problem will always exist and there is nothing anybody can do about it, and you should know that it is not bitcoin, hackers and all the bad guys will always use anything for their own bad purposes.
they have been using credit cards, and money (fiat) laundering for ages and still do.

Unfortunately that's true, but I have read somewhere that exchanges does not accept or does not process these dirty coins but still there are way for these to mix and spend these bitcoins and they probably don't care about the bitcoin mixer fees.
