Anyway, who left is reliable now? I do note that ChipMixer now seems to be the most trusted. But I also note that various other mixers have had problems.
Who's left that with whom people have had good experiences?
I may be biased, but I believe ChipMixer is the by far the most trusted right now. BestMixer got seized by the government and BitBlender exit scammed afterwards (with the excuse that they were scarred of being arrested). I honestly don't know who else to trust after what happened.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5153756TryNinja, yes I was around here lurking to observe BestMixer get seized over there in The Netherlands. I actually DID use them once (before their bust), and found their service to be just fine when I did use it. For me, that was too bad they got busted, as the service did work for me. Ah well, one less mixer.
I never did use BitBlender, but did note that they gave a very limited amount of time for customers to get their BTC out before they closed up shop. It DID seem scammy, but I have no facts, and again, I never used them.
But, your above two examples show that the number of mixers is declining...
Finally, I did use ChipMixer once (I believe some two years ago), and found that it was confusing for me, but I was able to move the "chips" around to where I wanted them. I forget the technique they used, and that experience some two years ago is still a little hazy for me.
I have noted in discussions of ChipMixer that their mixing technique is quite different than most other mixers, it does LOOK different. Perhaps I should give them another try with a little BTC and see if I can get more comfortable with their method.
Thank you for passing along your response.
