"Whenever I write something and want to send it I have to click on the send button, while it should also be done by clicking enter key on the keyboard, it also did not work with shift+Enter. Which means, we have to click via mouse on the send option."

✅✅✅ Added this feature.

An error has occurred. Please refresh the page and try again.

✅✅✅ This error might occur if you try to leave a page while a form is still loading. We've added a warning to address this situation.

Quote
The (Please, download the letter of guarantee before a transfer) is hardly noticeable, it must be more visible than the deposit information.

✅✅✅ We added an icon to highlight this text Smiley

Quote
- The tumbler code is somewhere at the bottom of this page, very easy to miss if you don't scroll down and honestly I almost forgot about it since my attention was on the deposit process, the page has a ton of blank space at the top, alongside the logo and steps icons at the top, all of which are taking a lot of "wasted" space

-I think this page should be squeezed to fit a single screen without having to scroll down, where everything needed (Letter of Guarantee + Deposit status + tumbler code appears in the same height level without needing to scroll)

✅❎ We use adaptive web design to ensure pages look consistent in modern browsers our clients use. Usability tests guided information block placement. We'll keep testing new layouts, potentially modifying some blocks in the future.

Quote
No easy way of entering the order number should one close the page by mistake, if someone doesn't pay enough attention to the URL which contains the order number /order#JTPFXE5B-ABCDE then it will be hard for them to go back to the same order without contacting the support team.

✅✅✅ The full page address is repeated in the letter of guarantee. A separate page for entering the order ID seems unnecessary to us.

Quote
1. Despite receiving the transaction the timer is still running on the order page as if it's still yet to come.
2. However, the timer on the website is showing 1h.17mins (not sure why)

❎ ! Unable to reproduce this error. There may have been connection interruptions between your browser and our website.

Quote
The warning that says after the deposit is made:
If one of the outputs has a round value (like exactly 0.1 BTC) — this output can be considered as the recipient. Instead of sending 0.1 BTC, send for example 0.100124.

Is pretty useless at this point, it should show on the first page, and then again on the top of the deposit page not at the bottom, now since you can't control what the user sends, you could at least control what you send by slightly modifying your 0.0002 BTC fee to make it in a dynamic range of say 0.000015 - 0.0002

✅✅✅  We cannot and should not alter the final incoming amount.
If a user wishes to receive exactly 0.001, it is their choice. We merely provide a warning about how such a transfer will be treated.
For instance, if they need to pay for a service that requires an exact amount, altering it would cause problems.

! Additionally, the calculator is available at every mixing stage, providing a warning about the recommended transfer amount just before the transfer.

Quote
1- You consolidated 3 smaller outputs that were not needed

✅✅✅ I don't find anything suspicious. In fact:

1. I can't identify the recipient here (similar to Blockchair).
2. This isn't the usual mixer behavior; typically, it follows a 1-2 pattern.

Excellent work! Smiley

Quote
This input > bc1qkpgugjv55lp0my23m0txn0azww5rvxwyf8qh5p of 0.00022350 is clearly the change address of this transaction
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/29cecb7abf2b2455ac842f0f2ca20bc64eeafa650244f100dc2ec248549de845
Which came from this address bc1qmtxzrvnzr3ryak5jeprz3eqqsgpq9t4hzvd2g5

✅✅✅ You know that you used a mixer, so it's likely to assume that the addresses from which the funds were received also belong to the mixer and could have been used for payouts before, possibly including you.
Still, it's very suspicious, possibly a negative experience. Noted. Wink  Grin

Quote
I don't like the security level options, it's complicated for the average user, and there should be only one type of mixing, a mixing that works, and the fees to be different only in regards to the outgoing transaction network fee, not that actually privacy result.
✅✅✅ We believe it's a great feature. More details are available in the FAQ section.

Quote
The website should be translated into more languages, personally, I'd like to see it support Arabic.

BlackHatCoiner,
Could you please explain how front-end Javascript enhances user's anonymity? As far as I know, it can only hurt it: https://tor.stackexchange.com/a/21987. And if you don't mind, how it protects the server's anonymity?

JavaScript plays a crucial role in the operation of our service. Apart from handling backend security against DDoS attacks, complicating the creation of phishing sites, and enhancing usability, the use of JavaScript allows us to maintain a "competitive advantage in terms of security and anonymity" for both us and our clients. Security experts, upon a thorough "review" of the project, will understand the specifics of what is being discussed. It doesn't make sense to publicly disclose all the security methods of our project.

Quote
BlackHatCoiner,
The funds I received in the second mixing were literally taken by the change of the first mixing. That is absolutely unacceptable if I'm requesting from your service to have my coins received in multiple addresses. The whole point of using multiple addresses (AKA, split mixing), is to not reveal common ownership.

As mentioned earlier in the report, we have made changes to this section. Now, for a specified period, deposit funds are temporarily held for all clients.

Quote
dkbit98,
Are there any significantly big changes and improvements with your service from last time you organized review campaign?
First review campaign was only few months ago if I remember correctly.

hugeblack,
Since it will not be removed, is there a guarantee that the lifetime discount does not affect privacy.

We have provided a detailed explanation of how the Tumbler code operates in previous messages. Unlike the "conventional" approach, our method is secure.

Quote
hugeblack,
The problem was that I did the mixing process twice, two minutes apart. I completed the first, and after two minutes, a new mixing process began with the same value as the previous one. The problem was that I got my coins from the address of the previous mixing process. In other words, you either have a software problem or you have a problem with the reserves.

As mentioned in the report earlier, we have made changes to this section. Now, for a specified period, your deposit funds are temporarily locked for all clients.

Before, if you didn't use the tumbler code and sent coins in a similar amount to a prior deposit, your coins could be selected for payment to another client, possibly you.
and this is perfectly reasonable, logical, and correct...

Quote
AHOYBRAUSE,
I also applied for the 2nd review campaign, maybe I can test it again but if not that's fine.

Thank you for your previous review. Like all our other contributors, you've played a part in improving our project Smiley
Now, we'd like to hear feedback from new testers.

Actually the first review campaign was exactly 3 weeks ago, not a few months.
And yes, they made a lot of changes already, I had a quick look some days ago and many addressed problems have been given improvements.

I also applied for the 2nd review campaign, maybe I can test it again but if not that's fine.

❎ Using the Tumbler Code is essential to avoid such issues. You can find information about it in various sections on our website.
Since it will not be removed, is there a guarantee that the lifetime discount does not affect privacy.

I have visited the site and there are updates, will try to test it again and I wish you success.

Farewell, Leo
JavaScript (JS) plays a crucial role in maintaining the security and anonymity of our project. Without JS, the level of anonymity and functionality we offer could not be fully realized.
Could you please explain how front-end Javascript enhances user's anonymity? As far as I know, it can only hurt it: https://tor.stackexchange.com/a/21987. And if you don't mind, how it protects the server's anonymity?

This conclusion is incorrect. We have implemented all the necessary security headers, including the Content-Security-Policy header, since the launch of our project. You can verify this here https://securityheaders.com/
Apologies. You have indeed implemented Content Security Policy:
Please note that the funds you received were from an address with a much larger sum than you requested for withdrawal. By structuring our pool into levels and using various sources of coins, we aim to protect our pool from de-anonymization, making it more costly to attack. This approach enhances the overall security and privacy of our service.

The site definitely shows a lot of improvement now, great work.

It is also nice to see that you took all the suggestions and tried to implement them as best as possible. We also appreciate the update here.
As Faisal stated, I have also never seen so much work put into something after asking for some reviews here. That really shows your devotion.

Payment Gateway Allows Recurring Payments
Thanks to all the testers, we've tried to resolve all possible issues, and a tremendous amount of work has been done.
We look forward to the second round of testing!
Thank you all!
I am amazed to see the work you guys have put and I can see the devotion, I am excited to use this mixer again, with all new improvements. I am very happy to hear that, my suggestions were of great help. Your feedback meant a lot, I don't think I see something like this before. You guys did great work. And keep the spirits up  Wink

The questions and suggestions from the testers of the first Review are collected below. I've tried to show most of them.

Ratimov

Quote
"The maximum value within one transaction is 10 BTC, which is not that much; many mixers allow you to exchange 50 BTC. To mix large amounts, you will have to additionally communicate with support."
⌛⌛⌛ After completing all tests, we're ramping up our mixing pool soon – bigger transactions are on the horizon.

Quote
"The mixer offers up to 10 addresses to add, and they support all address formats except Taproot."
✅✅✅ We've added Taproot support now, so you're all set for every address format.

Quote
"The delay is dynamic and varies from 0 to 72 hours, which is not so much, considering that many services offer a delay of much more than 3 days, but I like that there is a breakdown here not only by hours, but also by minutes."
✅✅✅ Honestly, we've found that going beyond 72 hours doesn't make much difference.

Quote
"The weaknesses of this service are the inability to select the distribution of bitcoins by address in percentage terms, and there is also a lack of latency distribution for individual addresses."
✅✅✅ Just to clarify, since the inception of our service, we've actually had the feature to distribute bitcoins by address in percentage terms and to set latency distribution for individual addresses. Perhaps it might've been overlooked? Do check again, and let us know if you need any assistance navigating through it.

Quote
"I would also add an option for a random number of transactions, this will increase anonymity. Or you could choose how many transactions to split the bitcoins into."
✅✅✅ We've already implemented that feature. Now, our system distributes coins using 96 different sending patterns, and yep, that includes sending from various address types. We're all about upping that anonymity game.

Quote
"When you come to the mixer, select a language, then select mixing parameters, click on the Continue button, then the service, when you go to a new screen, resets your language settings and shows English by default. You have to select the language you need again."
✅✅✅ Thanks for pointing that out. We've fixed the issue, so your language preference should stick throughout the process now. Give it another go and let us know if everything's smooth.

Quote
"After creating a second separate transaction, the mixer on my first mixing produced the following error:.... What does it mean? Why did it arise? The service does not explain this in any way on the screen, you can only guess and write to support. Does the service really not like merged transactions, but no one explained this."
✅✅✅ Thanks for bringing this to our attention during the testing phase. We've now updated our platform to display descriptions for all potential errors, so users will have a clearer understanding of what's happening.

Quote
"I didn't actually send money to the deposit address more than twice, I sent it to a different address each time, but within the same transaction"
✅✅✅ Our system was initially set up to flag any non-standard behavior as a potential threat, leading to the transaction being marked as an error. Good news is, we've updated this. You can now send transactions and even increase the fee during the process. Our system won't mistake it for a double-spend, and your transaction will go through smoothly. Plus, if there's a transaction cancellation, your order will revert to its initial state, waiting for a new transaction. Hope this clears things up!

Quote
"Payment of commission to miners by the service is generous"
✅✅✅ We've made adjustments and corrected the overly generous miner fee.

Quote
"Order information expires after 24 hours, and chat history expires after 48 hours, although a feature could be added to force this history to be deleted immediately."
✅✅✅ Just a quick heads-up: we've now added a feature allowing clients to delete order information directly from the order page without waiting for the 24 hours to lapse.

Quote
"Just create a separate email for any questions and complaints, where I won’t need to remember and copy all sorts of links for chat. A separate email address is always more reliable than the internal service page."
❎ Thanks for the suggestion. However, based on the history of ChipMixer, email played a pivotal role in its shutdown. According to regulatory reports, ProtonMail might not be as anonymous and secure as many believe. So, for now, we won't be introducing email support to maintain the highest levels of security and anonymity. Hope you understand.

Quote
"I emphasize, precisely in expanded form, because the internal support chat on the mixer’s website only has a text version of the problem description;"
✅✅✅ We've completely revamped our internal chat. Lots of new features have been added, including automatic updates. We're always striving to make our platform more user-friendly and efficient.

Quote
"you can’t even attach a screenshot there."
❎ For security reasons, we don't plan to add the functionality to attach screenshots. Text-based messages provide a secure means of communicating with our support team, and we believe it's sufficient to convey any necessary information.

Quote
"Get an email account, create a telegram support, create several options for contacting service representatives so that I don’t have to remember these links for chat and at the same time keep the mixer page open to communicate with support and wait for answers."
❎ For the sake of security, we don't plan to support Telegram. Telegram's recent privacy policy changes involve disclosing user information, including IP addresses, upon regulatory request, which raises concerns about user privacy. We aim to prioritize the utmost privacy and security for our users.

Quote
"Next, I would like to note the meager set of external communication sources, which I already talked about in the Support section. There are only Twitter and Bitcointalk to choose from. Add Email, telegram, reddit, discord, anything that could increase the search and support for this service on the Internet."
❎ We currently do not intend to add any additional communication channels beyond our internal chat and Bitcointalk forum. This decision is rooted in our commitment to maintaining complete control over privacy for both us and our users. We believe this approach best aligns with our mission to provide a secure and anonymous service.

Quote
"Also, why is there no PGP fingerprint on the main page of the site?"
❎ There is no option to add the PGP fingerprint on the main page of the site without using Email for support. However, in case we need to sign any messages, we'll use the official Bitcoin address of the project - 1TUMBLRXHDjFZacmFLbuDn2Rw1rcPgacR.

Quote
"There is no referral program, but this is rather not a drawback, but a wish for the further addition of such an opportunity."
⌛⌛⌛ A referral program is on our roadmap for future additions. Your suggestion aligns with our plans for further enhancements.



Charles-Tim

Quote
"I noticed it is hard to slide those percentage to the accurate amount someone desires... ", "If possible the amount in percentage to be mixed into different addresses can be edited, it would be excellent, instead of using only fee slider."
✅✅✅ We've added a feature that allows you to use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to make more precise adjustments to the sliders in the mixing form. This should provide a more accurate way to set the desired percentage.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.



hugeblack

Quote
"Dark mode is not supported."
✅✅✅ We've added a dark mode feature. Now you can enjoy the service with a more comfortable viewing experience in low-light environments.

Quote
"Site does not work when JavaScript is disabled."
❎ We currently do not intend to implement that functionality because JavaScript is essential for the proper operation of the site. Additionally, JavaScript helps resolve various issues related to client anonymity and provides protection against DDoS attacks.

Quote
"Mixer don't have restore your order page based on TX-ID."
✅✅✅ A link to your order has been added to the guarantee letter. You can always revisit your order using this link, even after closing your browser tab.

Quote
"Remove discount system and LIFETIME DISCOUNT"
❎ We won't be removing the discount system and lifetime discount. Our system fully incorporates this functionality without compromising the anonymity of our clients. We've previously explained this feature in detail in our forum thread and discussed how the Tumbler code operates.

Quote
"Use ProtonMail to receive support requests."
❎ We don't plan to use ProtonMail for receiving support requests. Chipmixer previously used ProtonMail, but that project no longer exists.

Quote
"Add a lighter version that does not support JavaScript, such as ---> https://clean.[banned mixer]/"
❎ At the moment, we are not considering adding a lighter version that doesn't support JavaScript.

Quote
"Random service fee: The user usually chooses the lowest fee within Basic, Standard, Premium. Adding a forced random option within these levels will enhance privacy."
❎ Implementing a forced random option for service fees within the existing levels doesn't provide practical benefits, as we see that most users already choose service fees randomly to enhance privacy.

Quote
"You did not mention what will happen if the user deposits after 24 hours."
✅✅✅ A detailed response to this question has been added to the FAQ section on the project's website.

Quote
"Adding support for the Lightning Network"
❎ Support for the Lightning Network is not in our current considerations.

Quote
"Paying to a friend"
❎ We don't intend to include the 'Paying to a friend' feature in our services. This functionality is more similar to a cryptocurrency wallet feature, and our primary focus is on providing a different set of services.

Quote
"I noticed that when I received payments, the mixer was paying a lot of fees."
✅✅✅ We've made adjustments and corrected the overly generous miner fee.

Quote
"Unfortunately, this is very disappointing. I received the same coins that I sent when testing Basic, and this indicates that there is not enough stock of bitcoins or complete reliance on the tumbler code."
❎ Using the Tumbler Code is essential to avoid such issues. You can find information about it in various sections on our website.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.



AHOYBRAUSE

Quote
"The discount only start from 1 btc so I guess it’s not for the average user."
❎ There are projects with higher requirements for discounts, and we consider our rates to be reasonable.

Quote
"Mandatory transaction fee seems a bit high and could be dynamic."
❎ The minimum fee helps protect our pool from de-anonymization attacks. At the time of withdrawal, the fee is dynamic and is selected based on the Bitcoin network's current load.

Quote
"FAQ, even though explaining everything well, could be written better"
✅✅✅ We've made significant improvements to the FAQ section based on feedback from testers. It now contains a wealth of new information and clarifications to better assist users.

Quote
"It would be nice if the user can choose to change how many % would go to to how many addresses in a different way, by manual input for example."
❎ This feature has actually been available since the project's inception.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.



Learn Bitcoin

Quote
"The website UI looks good, but I was searching to switch to Night mode as I wouldn't say I like using bright screens."
✅✅✅ We've added a dark mode feature. Now you can enjoy the service with a more comfortable viewing experience in low-light environments.

Quote
"The problem is that users must copy and save their support page link."
✅✅✅ We've taken this into account and made improvements. Now, the link to your ongoing support conversation is duplicated on the chat page, making it easier for you to continue where you left off even if you close your browser tab.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.



SmartGold01

Quote
"The minimal deposit was little bit huge, I suggest the minimal deposit should be reduced and fit on 0.0005BTC or below..."
❎ The minimum deposit is an important part of our system's security measures, and we believe the current amount is set at an optimal level.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.



BlackHatCoiner

Quote
"You rely on javascript. I strongly recommend you to either let people audit the code of both your front-end and back-end, or get rid of javascript completely."
❎ JavaScript (JS) plays a crucial role in maintaining the security and anonymity of our project. Without JS, the level of anonymity and functionality we offer could not be fully realized. Perhaps some of the testers who attempted to assess our service, including DDoS testing, have gained a deeper appreciation for this technology. They may have also noticed specific technical aspects while interacting with our website. In a nutshell, JS enables anonymity for both us and our clients.

Quote
"You have not DNSSEC enabled, which can significantly reduce the risk of various DNS-based attacks, such as DNS spoofing, cache poisoning, and man-in-the-middle attacks."
⌛⌛⌛ I'm sorry, but our DNS provider (DDOS-Guard) currently does not support DNSSEC, although they have promised to add this feature in the future. We do not plan to transfer the domain to another DNS provider as we have not found a suitable candidate that meets all our requirements related to anonymity and security.

Quote
"You have not set the Content-Security-Policy header (which protects from cross-site scripting)."
✅✅✅ This conclusion is incorrect. We have implemented all the necessary security headers, including the Content-Security-Policy header, since the launch of our project. You can verify this here https://securityheaders.com/

Quote
"Was this written on the go? Looks sketchy."
✅✅✅ We've made significant improvements to our FAQ section, addressing any previous issues and adding new content. Additionally, we've corrected typos on the website to enhance user experience.

Quote
"A little while later, after waiting for confirmation, I got this:"
✅✅✅ Our system was initially set up to flag any non-standard behavior as a potential threat, leading to the transaction being marked as an error. Good news is, we've updated this. You can now send transactions and even increase the fee during the process. Our system won't mistake it for a double-spend, and your transaction will go through smoothly. Plus, if there's a transaction cancellation, your order will revert to its initial state, waiting for a new transaction.

Quote
Actual mixing. When the user receives mixed coins, they have to look mixed. That's the point of the mixer; to improve fungibility and privacy, and the manner to accomplish it is to make it difficult for outsiders to de-anonymize known-mixer outputs. However, there needs to be a discernible indicator that these coins indeed originated from a mixer, so that anyone attempting to trace them can give up.
✅✅✅ Our system distributes coins using 96 different sending patterns, and yep, that includes sending from various address types. We're all about upping that anonymity game.

Quote
"Security levels". The user has no manner to verify whatsoever how their "Premium" coins are more private; which is a lie in the first place as I demonstrated. Premium coins which I expected to withdraw on different addresses, were withdrawn with direct blockchain connection. Minimum privacy there."
✅ Please note that the funds you received were from an address with a much larger sum than you requested for withdrawal. By structuring our pool into levels and using various sources of coins, we aim to protect our pool from de-anonymization, making it more costly to attack. This approach enhances the overall security and privacy of our service.

Quote
"Pricing. Please explain me why each receiving address costs an additional 20,000 sat. Your fee range of 0.4% to 3.60% is quite reasonable. However, as you've acknowledged, I didn't receive an equally good product for the price I paid when comparing the "Basic" and "Premium" options."
✅ The minimum receiving address fee is "one of the methods" to protect our pools from de-anonymization, the primary function of which is to make such an attack as expensive as possible.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.

"Website design is ok, it's clean, and I didn't notice any big spelling mistakes, but first thing that caught my eye was Absolutely Reliable claim on main page. Either Tumbler has hired gipsy fortune teller or they have top secret time traveling machine when they are already claiming to have many positive customer reviews on forums, and they just recently started this service."
✅ It's a part of our SEO strategy! But believe us, in the future, it will be true.

Quote
"Note that after finishing my mixing I was presented with a button to write a review, and it was redirecting only to their bitcointalk forum topic."
✅ In addition to that, this button does not pass a referer, so your data remains secure (blocked at the security headers level and in the HTML code). Smiley

Quote
Fees page is saying that fees are smaller when larger amount of Bitcoin is sent for mixing, and they still boldly claim that for 100 or more BTC there is 50% discount and 0.20% service fee. I will have to say that I really suspect they have 100 or more Bitcoin, unless they are using other centralized services, but I will talk more about that later. When they first appeared in bitcointalk I asked them this question and I think they rchanged 100 btc claim to 10 btc in FAQ page, but it's still there in Fees page.
✅✅✅ A detailed response to this question has been added to the FAQ section on the project's website.

Quote
"This is where I received my first error or bug while I was testing Tumbler, and I was asked to refresh browser and continue."
✅ It's possible there was a connection interruption between your browser and our system's backend, and refreshing the page was a troubleshooting step to address this.

Quote
"I also want to use manual delete option for Support chat."
✅✅✅ We've added the option for manual deletion in the support chat.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.

"Checking the first tx I was so glad they overpaid 3x times, I looked at the topic, so what the first two members had to say and...I knew it. It had to be, I knew it was coming! The other tx had the exact fee, weight, virtual size!"
✅✅✅ The problem has been resolved.

Quote
"A bit inconvenient to recreate the order page, but a good thing to put it in the letter"
✅✅✅ A link to your order has been added to the guarantee letter. You can always revisit your order using this link, even after closing your browser tab.

Quote
"...issues with replaced transactions, needs to be fixed"
✅✅✅ The problem has been resolved.

Quote
"I'm a bit concerned about those tumblers codes, how does it track the amount mixed?"
✅ We have provided a detailed explanation of how it works and why it is secure in our forum post.

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.

Quote
"Many positive customer reviews on forums speak about [banned mixer]'s reliability and solid reputation." -> maybe link some of them, otherwise it doesn't matter what you say."
✅ It's a part of our SEO strategy! But believe us, in the future, it will be true.

Quote
"what about warning people about the risk of using a third party proxy middleman and maybe recommend users to use the Tor mirror?"
⌛⌛⌛ We'll consider adding a convenient notification, but at the moment, we don't see a way to do it without compromising the usability of the site.

Quote
"A question about the tumbler code: How do you keep track of which coins are related to that user? For example, I send from my address X to your mixer address A. Then I come back later and mix again with my code. How do I *NOT* get the coins from mixer address A? If you're saving that information on your database, isn't this a privacy issue?"
✅ The Tumbler code is stored with the user themselves. The code = Reverse Encryption Algorithm ( Deposit key + Total amount ). We do not store deposit amount data and can determine a customer's discount based on the information they provide to us. We have provided a detailed explanation of how it works and why it is secure in our forum post.

Quote
"I believe coins should move around a little bit more before they are sent straight to a new customer."
✅✅✅ We have added protection, which means that for a certain period, the user will not receive their coins back, even without using the Tumbler code.

Quote
"All transactions had their change address identified by Blockchair, maybe because a 3-type address sent to a 1-type address and the change was also a 3-type address?"
✅✅✅ We've already implemented that feature! Now, our system distributes coins using 96 different sending patterns, and yep, that includes sending from various address types.

Quote
"For a third mix, I tried sending coins and then cancelling my tx though RBF. It was detected after some time and a message showed up: "An error occurred during order processing. Please "contact support (what if I resend it? Nothing showed up, so I cancelled it again)."
✅✅✅ We've now updated our platform to display descriptions for all potential errors, so users will have a clearer understanding of what's happening. Plus, if there's a transaction cancellation, your order will revert to its initial state, waiting for a new transaction.

"I wanted to try something different, so after noticing that there was no captcha required on the order page, I wrote a script that brute forces sessions as an attempt to find someone else’s randomly. Assuming a order id format "XXXXXXXX-XXXXXX" and 36 characters (A-Z/0-9), there was 36^14 possible ids. Maybe too much? Still, I wanted to try. Grin"

👓 The ORDER-ID is generated independently of any database connection, allowing for the creation of at least 1.000.000.000 unique IDs without impacting the system's performance. It simply generates a valid ID with a signature for your 'future' session using an algorithm-based approach without database involvement. We closely monitored your attempted attack. In the event of a CSRF breach and the initiation of a mass order creation, our protection mechanisms would have been activated, resulting in a denial of service. Additionally, an automatic captcha would have been triggered. Nevertheless, we appreciate your stress test, which has led to many optimizations.

Furthermore, IP blocking based on excessive requests is inherently present but currently disabled. We were curious to see where you would end up Smiley

Currently, the system is equipped to handle high loads with cluster support and includes features to protect against and filter out malicious traffic. Therefore, there is a possibility that we may no longer need the services of DDOS-Guard in the future.

"You're new, of course, but put an avatar and card on your twitter account so you don't look inactive and careless (Grin): https://twitter.com/tumbler_io"

"Extra suggestion: let people deposit multiple times before they receive their coins. For example, I can send 0.001 BTC from my address A to your deposit address X + send 0.003 BTC from my address B to your deposit address Y. My output will be 0.001 + 0.003 = 0.004 BTC. This makes it so the output can also be higher than a single input transaction (A alone, or B alone)."
✅✅✅ We have created over 90 transaction sending patterns, each of which operates based on various mixing conditions.

Quote
What happens if the transaction takes longer than that to confirm?
✅✅✅ We have added extensive clarifications to the FAQ section regarding your inquiries related to order timing

All other issues you've mentioned have already been addressed and resolved as described in the previous responses.

[banned mixer] keeping transaction history for 24 hours support history for 48 hours which is not good where as other competitors/mixers not keeping any log. The good thing is that we can delete this history anytime we want but automatic delete should ne reduce to atleast 24 hours."

"No captcha at the start which could lead to DDOS attack."

✅ Our platform is not designed for satisfactory results in systems like AMLBot.
Conduct an experiment, connect 10 different addresses of yours with another 10 new addresses in your wallet in one transaction, after which each address in your wallet will have a 97% risk according to AMLBot's assessment. In this case, the AMLBot system will think that you were trying to use CoinJoin technology. Do you think this is a fair risk assessment?

The service uses DDoS Guard to protect itself against DDoS attacks, which can turn out to be a loophole in the future for a service that promises its customers ultimate privacy.

"You guys should add the total receiving amount too when we increase the number of receiving addresses. You can add that section right there where I marked red. It will come more handy while keeping track of how much we are paying on fee and how much we are going to receive in total. I had to use a calculator. I know none of the other Mixers I have experienced, have this feature besides just a simple fee calculator, but it will be super comfy and UI will become more user-friendly."
✅✅✅ We have added the feature you recommended. Now, you can see the total receiving amount when you increase the number of receiving addresses. We hope this makes tracking your payments and fees more convenient.

"It would be great if we would manually write the percentage to allocate to each address (when we add more then one receiving addresses). But most of the mixer don't have this feature too, I think its on purpose. And just to add, I really liked the strategy of not allowing users to divide the amount into equal parts like in 50% 50% parts. No matter how much I tried but we can't divide them in equal parts. First I thought that's due to the slider but later I came to remember that they have already wrote on their website that..."
✅✅✅ We've added a feature that allows you to use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to make more precise adjustments to the sliders in the mixing form. This should provide a more accurate way to set the desired percentage.

Thanks to all the testers, we've tried to resolve all possible issues, and a tremendous amount of work has been done.
We look forward to the second round of testing!

Yes, that is important, let's make it natural as Yomix did. I am not sure they use SEO to optimize it, I am really sure Yomix did it naturally because they are good in marketing. So if [banned mixer] want be o top searching let do the same what yomix did by create the signature campaign and masive marketing on social media. The important thing 1st is to make people believe if [banned mixer] is Trusted. So if people already believe, the ranking will be shifted to the top place naturally.

As the most obvious example, I would mention Chipmixer, which for the last few years has only worked with the TOR site without a clearnet site. By directly searching the chipmixer keyword, the original site was not even in the first 5 pages of the Google search engine. And yet they were quite dominant in the mixer industry.
So when we talk about that, Chipmixer was a popular site that has credible uses by people. They don't need that traffic Google search. because people already know that mixer is trust and reliable to use.

If you remove clearnet website and promote only onion link, the number of people falling scams will decrease,
The problem is, not many people can use that onion link, I admit that when try onion links where have a bad connection internet location. I have to back on the Clearnet link to access the mixer.

However, clearnet link is important. They must priority that link beside the onion link. because there are many normal people who only know how to use clearnet link, and never use onion link for his life once.

I would not agree that SEO ranking is such an important thing when we talk about mixer services. It can be useful, of course it's always good, but it's not crucial.

By directly searching the chipmixer keyword, the original site was not even in the first 5 pages of the Google search engine. And yet they were quite dominant in the mixer industry.
It's very hard topic to discuss about because there are solid arguments on both sides. The existence of clearnet site increases the chance of phishing and scamming. If you remove clearnet website and promote only onion link, the number of people falling scams will decrease, that's what chipmixer owner experienced and said at least.
But on another hand, why shouldn't mixer be available on clearnet? If all of your users are for illegal activities, sure, you don't need one but I assume if aim is to truly help  customers to remain anonymous and you care about your average users, then clearnet is necessary. It's especially necessary in the beginning to let your customers visit and see your website, average user is probably lazy enough to download and open Tor for that.

By the way, we don't actually know how much of a traffic comes from Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and other search engines. So, it's hard to say, chipmixer existed so long that they were already known for the whole crypto world.

The  [banned mixer] Bitcoin Mixer Review#1  that was recently launched shows interesting results!

The testers team gathered by Royce777 is really professional.

There are some ideas that have already been implemented in hot pursuit, there are some shortcomings that have been identified, and they have already been fixed, there are moments where the testers themselves for some reason could not figure out the functionality.
I will wait for all 20 reviews to appear and show in the final post all the suggestions.
There are really interesting ideas, implementing which will take time.
For example, several people mentioned the lack of a night mode and, voila, it has already been implemented. Use it with pleasure!

I will definitely share all my thoughts after appearing of all the reviews!

It's great you already make improvements to your site after only reading a couple of reviews.
I was also lucky enough to be one of the participants and must say some of the reviews are top notch!

For the contest, I think the first review already, by user ratimov was very good. I didn't have the same problems he did, with the language switch, but the whole review was grade A quality.
Another 2 ones I enjoyed reading myself were written by BlackHatCoiner and Gladitorcomeback. They tested stuff I couldn't even think of, very informative.
I don't want to be in your shoes, it's a tough decision to choose a best review out of these.

By the way, why you use mixer codes over coinjoin? What is the advantage/disadvantage?

If I've understood your question correctly, it seems to be more along the lines of "why opt for the traditional mixing method instead of coinjoin?"
One of the primary reasons is that the coinjoin scheme itself is fairly transparent and tends to attract the attention of systems analyzing transactions, making it challenging to break away from existing patterns. Additionally, coinjoin transactions are quite rare; not every block contains such transactions. This makes it easier for interested companies to extract and analyze these specific transactions.
At the same time, traditional mixers can accommodate almost any type of transaction, such as the most popular and straightforward ones like "One-to-One" and "One-to-Two". In other words, the most frequently occurring combinations in blocks are precisely what traditional bitcoin mixers opt for, because the broader the transaction slice, the more challenging it becomes to analyze.
Another reason for choosing the classic system is that, with the right setup, one can achieve a high "Privacy score result for the transaction." It also allows for the use of a tumbler code to offer a discount to clients, which is a pleasant feature. In a couple of weeks, it is planned to conduct the Review #2 , where one of the focal points for testers will be the "Privacy score result for the transaction."

Twitter and Telegram are probably mandatory, you are currently completely inactive there. Given that all your chat logs from support are deleted after 24 hours, then a network like Telegram is really necessary for more efficient support.
Thank you immensely for the constructive suggestions and feedback. I truly don't wish to disappoint, but at this time, there are no plans to introduce additional communication channels.

Does this mean I can't sell the code or give it away too (Just to make it clear)?
Yes, you're absolutely right – the intention is that this code is solely for your use; it shouldn't be sold or passed on to third parties. And yes, it's completely secure: refer to the description on how the tumbler code is structured in the project in the above post.

I just want to ask how a lifetime discount works, including how to redeem it and whether it involves a code. I'm asking because I'm one of the participants in the signature design contest and there are only three people who submitted an entry to the contest. This means that if the reward for the contest doesn't change, I'll be rewarded with a 40% lifetime discount for your service.

Also I see the terms from the contest:

Quote
When you apply you automatically agree that : ..Transferring the discount code that you receive to third parties and their subsequent generations is prohibited...

Does this mean I can't sell the code or give it away too (Just to make it clear)?
