Are there any ethical concerns with an exchange using their balances to mix coins? Since the tainted coins would be returned to customers when they withdraw?
Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Could it be unethical to not mix coins?

How is a mixer "unethical"?

Is it unethical to have window blinds so anyone that wants to can't look into your house too?

Is it unethical to use cash since it doesn't have a tracking microchip in it to see where you're going with it?

I mean, should the exchange tell it's customers whether or not it mixes their coins, and then if it mixes them with non depositors coins as well?

don't see anything unethical about it, but I would be transparent that the exchange is doing this
