Topic: [ANN] BitWhisk.io ✦ Bitcoin mixing service ✦ Fast, Secure, Awesome! (Read 707 times)

I know for several similar coin mixing services, they spend much more money to advertise. I'm sure they do not work with the loss. you have the possibility but the competition doing his job. Maybe is time to change your strategy. Also, I don't know about server requirements for your application, maybe you can find a little bit cheaper server for them.

To be exact the service possesses around 0.32 BTC for send-receive mixing and 0.09 BTC for prepare-takeaway mixing. I didn't get the point of your second proposition.

What the hell are you talking about here? I am not asking for a loan, I do not require anything, I just do not see any more sense in spending my own funds to maintain the project.

You guys on forum sometimes go crazy about the "reputation stuff". I do not see anything illegal or dishonest about my behavior.

Let's assume someone gives you 0.5BTC so you can pay your expenses for the next 3 months... How much would you be able to mix if you don't even have such a low amount to keep your server running?

Btw, thank you for not thinking about exit scamming.

I can resume that the problem is not for just hosting charges; the service doesn't possess any reserves to handle mixing operations. Your programmation skills may help you run the service in a safe way but can't assure efficacity for potential clients, nor for investors or donators.

Yes you are a beggar now and this post may be considered worst that "asking for loan with no colletaral", which is against the forum rules and may cauz you troubles.

If someone likes our service you still may help us to stay in the business. To continue server rent for the next three months I need around 0.05 BTC,

so if you feel like you want to support us, direct your donations to our official address:

Yeah-yeah, I know, I look like a beggar now. You may blame me.

The profit we gain from our operation is very small and does not cover the server's costs. Hence, I think about closing the service's doors after 5 November approximately.

I am proud we did not cheat anybody and we are going to disappear with a light heart. If you have something to say, please do here, I am still monitoring this post.

We will develop alternative strategy for marketing through this forum. Either it will be a signature campaign with a trusted manager or maybe a campaign without a manager with an escrow. Let us think about the happened situation for the couple of days. It was a lesson for us.

I don't think if there is any mixing service which shares their source code. This would definitely distinguish you from the others. However, wouldn't it expose your method of mixing coins and make it easier for someone to track people who have used your service?

What else are you working on right now?

Thank you for a non javascript version of your website.

We also want to increase the trust to our service and the following idea comes to mind. What if we publish our backend source code? Of course, nobody can check that this code is installed on server, however anybody could read it and make sure it makes sense. What do you guys think about that? Would you be interested in seeing BitWhisk source code?

Although we are going a bit off-topic here, I feel it's still valid, as this is an evaluation thread for a service/site that you wanted feedback for.

Signature campaigns are effective, yes. But they are only as effective as the users that are a part of that campaign. Generally speaking, you're not going to find much use for 25 users to be a part of your campaign if the majority of them are 3rd-world shitposters that spam the wrong parts of the forum. The areas in which your participants post need to target your services. Chance are that Bitcoin Discussion doesn't warrant the need to display your ad, as it's generally filled with 3rd-world sig spammers who don't see a value in mixing coins, as their only goal is to cash out their earnings every week.

Honestly, if I were you, I would kill your signature campaign, and start a thread where you're looking to find [up to] 10 substantial members of this forum that you're willing to pay. Given that you're spending about 0.4BTC for two weeks, I'd rather take that and offer 0.01BTC per week for a month for up to 10 participants. Full Member and up only.

Mixers are very important to privacy, and with the shutdown of BitMixer, we've been seeing a lot popping up... Given that your UI is so clean, and your userflow is excellent, there's no reason why you shouldn't be one of the top competing mixers in this space. But perception is everything. Everything.

Unfortunately, after seeing that you hired a campaign manager without doing your homework has actually damaged my perception of your company. All of a sudden, it doesn't feel reputable or trustworthy, but rather one that seems like it will do anything to get the word out, even if that means hiring the bad actors in the crypto world that don't have any integrity. You simply cannot associate yourself with these types of members of the crypto world.

Aww, shit, BitWhisk, I had so much hope for you, but actions mean everything here, and I hate to say that you haven't made the right ones so far, other than this thread.

Escrowing is good, but implementing it in a frank way would cost too much. For example, if mixer's reserve is 100BTC and they hold in escrow 10BTC this does not guarantee that all users will get the money back if mixer turns into scam, right? Actually, escrow should be much bigger than reserve, then it guarantees that people's money will not be lost. But it is a nonsense, nobody is going to hold 200BTC in escrow, while using only 100BTC in current reserve.

Concerning advertisement, we have just started our signature campaign, check it out.


We are not trying to convince anybody to put coins on our accounts, however we have a right to offer this to people. If we just stay in silence then obviously nothing is going to change, right? We are not expecting people to trust in us and invest right now, however something should be done, hence we decided to run a campaign and publicly announce our service. Maybe it works, maybe not. We are also extensively looking for investment by our private channels off the forum.

Site looks good. I think the fact that you're conducting a review campaign is definitely going to help with your public image, as well. However, I definitely think that it's going to hard for new mixers entering the scene because they don't have the trust of the public.

Either escrow some bitcoins to start off so that people have the peace of mind of knowing that they are protected, or launching some sort of advertising campaign will help as well based on what I've seen with other mixers.

As much as I understand that you guys may be in need of investment though, I would let the site run for a while before asking for any investments. It makes it seem like you're trying to get some quick money, since there is no shortage of coin mixer scams in the past.

I'm in a similar boat to Joe. I haven't forgotten about you guys either. I was around for the initial round of testing I believe and I wrote up a nice review about how enjoyable the UI looked on mobile devices (iOS, more specifically). I have also come back to mix some coins through your service, because it's unfortunate that you gave people coins specifically to test Nested SegWit addresses and nobody did so. I sent .002 through, with a delay and a custom fee. No problems thus far, very clean, very responsive and transparent. I can really see you guys becoming a bigger name in this niche. I would like to see a bigger maximum mix, but I can understand that you're working with limited capital from the beginning. I wouldn't mind accepting a reward, but I certainly am not expecting one, either.  

After the 5hr delay I configured for this tumble, I have received my coins with no issues. I used a nested SegWit address to fund the mix, and received it to a nested SegWit address, as well. I went to check the status of my order after my coins were sent to me, and I’m glad to know that there was no reference to the order on your servers. After utilizing the service once, I must say that it is an extremely simple service to use; it’s the simplest out of all the mixers I have previously used.

Needless to say, but I will anyways: I have added this to the list of mixers that I use on a regular basis.

No need to send me any rewards for providing my experience. I just hope that this service is a continued one, and a profitable venture for you. You’ve got my vouch, so I hope you truly take the opportunity to gain some trust and reputation! Great addition to the privacy aspect of bitcoin!
