Never heard of this tumbling services. But if you are interested on who's who on the mixing world, you can check out @LeGaulois thread, 2019 List Bitcoin Mixers Bitcoin Tumblers Websites.

I do hope that you're not simply advertising that services here in the community, Don't get tricked by hidden spam on this forum.

I wouldn't recommend it, better check other ones listed in the thread given by the above user.

It's a red flag that they didn't prioritize their users privacy by using cloudflare which is the purpose of their service---to increase privacy. They did provide an explanation about it which wasn't enough imo.

check the whole discussion in their ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168505.0

also, I don't like how they promote themselves like creating another account to create another ANN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5172400.0)

the amount of newbies asking questions in their first ANN is unusual too.

Can't see any major issue regarding their service but won't recommend them since there are lots of better alternatives besides them. The link of the thread was posted above, and will only recommend using chipmixer,. So far, chipmixer keeps rank #1 for best tumblers. Since the bestest were shut and closed.

Im aint aware for this mixers existence so i cant say if they are shady or non reliable because i didnt tend to go or consider
on services which isnt even being used by the community. Chipmixer would always be the best choice when it comes to mixing service.
Dont go into other way.

They are here for less than 3 months. Though they are very active here & there isn't any negative feedback here. Though I don't suggest using centralized mixing sites with big amount of money.

For the safer option, you could try wasabi wallet - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5037094.0

Old ANN thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2815450.20
New one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5172400.0

Both had some pending issues.So its clear that it isn't really safe to deal with this mixer.

Smartmix.io is obviously different from SmartmixER.io, the link of the ann thread was already posted above by some user.

I would read their ANN thread which has been linked above. They are using Cloudflare, which probably hands over information freely to the US government and associated agencies. This isn't just not protecting your privacy, but it actively making it worse. That alone is enough to make me avoid them at all costs, but their ANN thread makes it clear they also paid for bumping services/bots which is pretty shady in my book.

Why take a gamble on your privacy when you could just use ChipMixer instead?

My advice to you is don't bother using it. Get a better mixer from the list that has been suggested to you already. The service you are looking at is relatively new with zero reputation here. At least i haven't seen any review about it by any reputed member here.

If you are craving to lose you money, then go ahead and use it.

[deadsilent]

A lot of mixing service are scams. So always be vigilant. But I found mixing service here. The Chipmixer. I just don't know if this is working as other tumbling services out there were raided and closed by the authority as mixers are used for many illegal activities. Is cryptocurrency ban in your country? Why you're using mixing service?

Or not. It could be the former owner since there's so many negative feedback from the older one. He made a new one.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Indeed, there is not someone who get any scammed by this bitcoin mixing service since it is just new at least they lounch the sevice in July 2019. And you have to know, there are some bitcoin mixing service who end up in scam and also the privacy of the user were leak out so as their transaction was known by public.

More than that if you see the comment in the ANN thread there is a some user which offend that its procedure is similar to another bitcoin mixing service. Indeed, it is not recommended to you to you use it since there is bitcoin mixing service which has good reputation and most likely you will lose your money and your privacy. But it up to you, if you curious to this service you can use it and tell the experience on this thread later.

[BitHodler]

as mixers are used for many illegal activities.

I'm sure that at least based on the number of transactions, mixers in general are used more for non illegal activities. There is more demand than ever for privacy with how most services nowadays use KYC/AML procedures.

If there are no more mixers, you can say goodbye to your privacy, so hope that governments won't be able to shut down more mixers. Criminals don't need mixers, ordinary people do, which governments don't want so they chase after them.

[hello_good_sir]

The mixer market has been a lot in recent years, with there being first the closure of bitmixer.io due to the owner having second thoughts about what service he was providing for users, and then the fairly recent forced closures of several other mixers, there's actually a lot of thoughts that needs and should be put in before selecting a service that will suit you for the future.

What has been consistent throughout all of this turmoil over the last 2-3 years, is that there is a very well made mixer that has rarely had issues and has provided a great service throughout the years - Chipmixer.

Don't bother trying out new mixers that don't offer full privacy or any cooler features, just use the established ones and keep using them unless issues get exposed.

If you have to start a new thread here having been unable to find any answers then you already know the answer.

Just to clear up any uncertainty - it's a big, fat, fur lined, ocean going, five bedroom nope.

When it comes to the potential risks involved with mixers I just can't figure out why anyone would choose to wing it with somewhere no one's ever heard of.

Well, i mean they do have a couple of threads here on the forum, and (perhaps due to my lack of searching..) a lack of scam accusations.

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168505.0

So, for small amounts they might work well. They look a bit like Bestmixer though, so not sure how trustworthy their mixing process actually is.

(And they seem to use stuff like cloudflare, so privacy is relative.. although, isn't Chipmixer also using some sort of anti-ddos company by now?)
Other than that- i gotta agree- @OP, if you're unexperienced, or already have doubts about a certain service- why try to use it when there are objectively better solutions out there?


Edit: just remembered that SmartMixer made use of bumping services for their ANN thread in the past. OP may very well be one of them.
