What's the best way make your Bitcoin anonymous right now? "Mixers"?

[FinneysTrueVision]

You can't make Bitcoin anonymous because its blockchain is transparent. You can achieve varying degrees of privacy which almost always come with certain tradeoffs.

Mixers are custodial and closed source. You have to trust them not to steal your money or keep logs. Without having access to their source code it is difficult to verify how effective their mixing algorithms really are.

Coinjoins can be expensive and users often make basic mistakes like merging all their mixed outputs together, combining private coins with toxic change, or spending to a reused address which links them to their previous history.

Swapping to Monero in the most private and decentralized manner can be cumbersome and is not usually suitable for large amounts due to insufficient liquidity.

Other options like statechains, Lightning and sidechains have not gained much traction but they can be useful tools.

Using Bitcoin privately is difficult without it being the default on layer 1. Ongoing improvements will continue to be made. You should explore various options and decide which solution is most ideal for your needs.

Well, infairness with the governments that have tracked down some of them. There's a likely that they do have some tools/technology.

Going with the monero conversion, no one argues about the cost of it because it's effective to hide your privacy as what everyone is telling about it.

As for OP, I'm sure that he's got the ideas already that have been mentioned by every member here which were the same.

Yeah, I converted to Monero using the method described in the first response, moved it between addresses, then converted back to a different crypto to send to the CEX. Worked great. Thanks everyone for the advice!

That's good to know.

Use mixers, if you can't afford to do that, you can make use of the gambling organizations, lastly, try to engage the use of bitcoincore over Tor.

Expect that you'll be asked to comply for KYC when you do that with the casinos. They are aware that users might be using them to mix their Bitcoins through them.

And if a user is new to them, that's why they're going to ask that user to complete verification if ever it hasn't been done yet.

I've written a guide that might answer some questions raised in this thread:

How to make Bitcoin or any other Crypto fully anonymous in 2024

[aTriz]

No!! Mixers don't work anymore, stay away from them. There is an easy way:

Mixers are only banned from this forum. Mixers themselves are still working.

Because of how Monero works, your crypto is now fully anonymous. You can now swap it back for bitcoin or any other crypto, and your coins are untraceable.

how should he swap them to keep them anonymous? using any centralized exchange would make  them known to him again. which would kill the whole point.
I think A Good mixer is still better than all these hassles.

Yes, right. Mixer is still open for service. In this forum, mixer promotions have indeed been banned due to several cases with the authorities for facilitating criminality in obscuring transactions which means that mixer promotions will not be displayed here. If the OP intends to use a mixer as a means of obscuring mixer transactions, perhaps one of the right alternatives is, to choose a good mixer, just check altcointalk and look at some of the reviews there.

What he suggest works since Monero is fully privacy token which means it’s untraceable once you already sent it to other Monero wallet.

He suggest to use a DEX to purchase monero using his Bitcoin in able to have a fully privacy monero to begin the wash. There’s no problem anymore if you will send it on centralized exchange or something that will expose your identity because the token is already clean. The whole point of mixing or chasing privacy is to erase the source of that token that will lead to you.

Not all user is mixing just to hide their money. Some are mixing to getaway from whatever shit they did just to acquire that particular Bitcoin.

Yes, I understand that Monero itself is Good as long as it stays Monero. but I am not aware of any DEX which supports Monero to BTC swaps Monero and BTC both are Coins. Dexs are for tokens. so when it comes to converting monero into bitcoin again then we'll start loosing privacy.
The best we can do is use a manual centralized exchange such as BestChange or any similar site. but I am afraid that won't keep your privacy intact.

He has to use a privacy focused exchange for the btc <-> xmr trades.

For instance exch.cx

1. no typical kyc/aml policies
2. has an onion version, works without JS, no cloudflare
3. does not use 3rd party liquidity provider

You get to choose from 2 pools of btc as well; one having less chances of getting flagged by custodians but less privacy or more privacy but higher chances of getting flagged.

But a reputable mixer is okay too if you don't want the extra hassle.

I just converted the bitcoins to Monero using Xchange over the tor browser:

and then sent them to a second Monero address. No need to use a mixer anymore.

[franky1]

just buy miners fresh coin rewards
end of story

[OgNasty]

If you want BTC without having it tied to some sort of KYC then the right way to do it has always been to mine it to a fresh address. It’s built right into Bitcoin. You can use p2pool type mining pools or go ham and get enough hashrate to mine solo. Using mixers is like playing Russian Roulette with your money.

Thank you very much for what you wrote but here it seems that your guide will not be needed.

[bolshojkush]

No!! Mixers don't work anymore, stay away from them. There is an easy way:


1 - get a Monero wallet (feather or mymonero)


2- get the tor browser


3- Swap your bitcoin for Monero (XMR). The best no-kyc exchange I think is xchange.me, they only charge 1%. They have a great tor website. Navigate here with your tor browser:

http://xmxmrjvjw3drvegm7m5gpqp3bsgp3x3bgc2x7jc76cacr74jhdwop7id.onion


4- Once you get the monero, movie it to a second monero address.

Because of how Monero works, your crypto is now fully anonymous. You can now swap it back for bitcoin or any other crypto, and your coins are untraceable.

This is a 100% way, since I watched an interview with a man in uniform and he talked about exactly such a money laundering scheme.
