Get paid for testing bitcoin mixer [banned mixer] and leave an honest review about us

[TryNinja]

I used the mixer and works like any other regular mixer (send to X-> receive in Y). Not much to say about this.

My biggest issue with the mixer is that there isn't any customizable option (time delay, fee range, more outputs, amount per output, etc). I used the "free test option" so I only put 1 output. For some reason, I received that amount in 2 separated transactions (e.g: I sent 0.001 and receive one transaction of 0.0004 and another one of 0.0006) when I didn't ask for this. While I agree this adds a lot of privacy for the whole process, people should be able to choose if that's what they want.

I use a local exchange in my country that only uses 1 address for every deposit/tx. So, if I would mix the coins directly to it, I would lose the second part of the transaction (0.00077233 - more than half of it) and would need to talk to the support and wait a few days to receive my coins. Give the user the power to mix his coins the way he wants.

/#how]Clean coins are sent through two or more transactions, showing random sums, and at different time intervals, each interval not exceeding 6 hours.

that is a part of their standard technique in mixing coins, and can't control the delay time too
it's clearly written on their /#how]"How does it work?" section, point 5
that's why we use different mixer to match our needs each mixer has their own technique and procedure

is this your paid review? just in case you didn't know, you need to use the normal option for the review

This doesn't actually blind anyone from criticism. "Want it that way? Use a different one".

I thought that was the point of a "review"? Criticize and suggest new things?

I read their "How does it work" section btw. But missed that smh.

I used Tor (mixtum5lbuslyow2.onion) for mixing.
Without reading anything, I just went straight to "Mix My Coins", so I can go to sleep and complete my review tomorrow.

Luckily, fees are low again, so at a whopping 2+ sat/byte it confirmed in about a minute. My Bitcoin Core showed the first confirmation while MixTum still showed "awaiting confirmation". I'm not waiting to see how long this takes.

------
The next day, it still shows:

A transaction is detected, the sum is 0.0015 BTC, awaiting confirmation

Two things are wrong here:
1. The transaction amount was 0.00149561 BTC (no need for rounding)
2. The transaction has 63 confirmations

Mixing has completed though, so all good there. I suggest to actually show it as completed instead of "awaiting".
Considering how high Bitcoin fees have gone up lately, I don't like that a small amount of coins gets send in 2 transactions when I only enter one address. Chances are I can't even spend it in the future when fees get higher than it's value.
I don't think 2 transactions to the same address are useful to hide mixing, if anything, it's like a mixer's telltale sign.
Overall, the process was smooth, and can be completed without reading anything.

If anyone can find my destination address within a week, I'll send you the funds (minus fees). This is not a guessing game, no more than 1 "guess" per person, and at least 10 earned Merit required.
Update: this offer expired.

I made a review before, in October last year. I tried a different approach this time.
I still can't easily verify the Letter of Guarantee, as it still uses a PGP signature instead of a Bitcoin signed message.

TryNinja,thank you for your review! Firstly, we are glad that the issue with the transaction was solved and you were able to test our service. Let us comment some statements:

My biggest issue with the mixer is that there isn't any customizable option (time delay, fee range, more outputs, amount per output, etc).

These limitations allows the mixer to perform mixing maximum anonymously. 6-hour delay is the best time  period for the mixer to choose the optinal options of transit wallets, as well as non-adjustable amount per output. The system is smart and it knows better how to split your transaction in order to hide the trace.

I used the "free test option" so I only put 1 output. For some reason, I received that amount in 2 separated transactions (e.g: I sent 0.001 and receive one transaction of 0.0004 and another one of 0.0006) when I didn't ask for this. While I agree this adds a lot of privacy for the whole process, people should be able to choose if that's what they want.

In any case the mixer splits incoming transaction into two parts regardless how many receiving addresses you have entered:two or one. You will receive both transactions in one receiving address if you have entered only one, or these parts will be sent into two receiving addresses.

I use a local exchange in my country that only uses 1 address for every deposit/tx. So, if I would mix the coins directly to it, I would lose the second part of the transaction (0.00077233 - more than half of it) and would need to talk to the support and wait a few days to receive my coins. Give the user the power to mix his coins the way he wants.

Thank you for your suggestion. We will think if any kind of flexibility can be implemented.

We really want honest reviews! That is the goal of our campaign: we want to know what we do well, what we should improve or focus on. Do not hesitate to criticize if there is a good reason

0.0015BTC received. Sending them to MixTum mixer right away.

I will edit this post and post my review within the next 24 hours.

edit: review posted

I still can't easily verify the Letter of Guarantee, as it still uses a PGP signature instead of a Bitcoin signed message.

To make sure that the Letter of Guarantee is genuine, you can install a PGP client software (e.g. Gpg4Win on Windows). You will need to import our public key and then run verification on the letter. More details here  https://[banned mixer]/howto.php#pgp

OK, here is my review.

I used MixTum to mix 0.0015BTC.
The mixer is amazingly easy to use as all preferences are set randomly and you don't have to worry about what would be the best combination which makes mixing coins in the reach of everyone.

Personally, all I had to do is to enter my receiving address and send the coins to the mixer and wait for the transaction to confirm. After that, I received two transactions within 6 hours as expected. So, basically, there is nothing to complain about.

However, I noticed few things worth mentioning here:
  - both of the two received txs were included in the same block. You have to make sure each transaction gets included in a different block.
  - I couldn't download the lettre of guarantee. Clicked the download button many times but nothing happened.
  - there is no seesion ID.
  - it keeps showing "awaiting confirmation". It should be updated after the first confirmation is received and after sending the mixed coins.
  - it would be better if you provide the transactions ids.
  - let the customer decides whether he wants to receive a single transaction or more, especially if he is going to mix a small amount of BTC. In my case, when I click on one of the received transactions on my bitpay wallet I get this warning:

the transaction amount is to small compared to current network fees. Spending these funds will need a bitcoin network fee comparable to the funds itself.

I have also few remarks regarding the website design (I am using a smart phone):
  - for a mixer website, I would prefer to see darker colors.
  - I really didn't like the mixer logo. It reflects a lack of imagination (we run a mixer so let's use a mixer's picture as logo   ).
  - I didn't like the drop down menu too. Links should look like buttons not just an underlined text.

I use mixers frequently, and will definitely bookmark MixTum to my favorites list.

If anyone can find my destination address within a week, I'll send you the funds (minus fees). This is not a guessing game, no more than 1 "guess" per person, and at least 10 earned Merit required.

I'll do the same but whoever finds the destination address have to be able to link it to the original address: 1rkJmZcdKMNEvFGZaZk1pAeSuuTVukYgB

That's pretty much it, and sorry for the delay.

Ya I started the mixing a little while ago and waiting on the mixed coins.  Sorry about being late, totally slipped my mind.  Will write a review once I receive the mixed coins.

[Evergreen Star]

This mixer kinda has high fees compared to their competitors, any chance you guys lower the fees?

[Indamuck]

[banned mixer] is a very easy to use mixer.  First off, the website looks simple but is very easy to navigate.  I like the graphic design and color scheme.  The FAQ and other basic information is laid out in a east to understand manner.

I mixed my btc, and everything was quick and easy.  I'm not able to connect the two addresses so I'm sure the coins are sufficiently mixed with no traces to the original address.

The only thing I would add if possible is to show the address you want the coins sent to on the 2nd page just so you can confirm that is the correct address.

I would recommend this mixer to others.

Hello,
Indeed, the fee is higher in comparison with competitors, but here you pay for the quality service, as all incoming BTC pass the procedure of verification and end clients get only clean coins.
