@miningpoolhub How feasible would it be for you to add an extra layer of anonymity to the coins mined, similar to a bitcoin mixer? This pool already works similar to a mixer in that it combines mined coins and sends them to an exchange, the BTC comes back to one wallet and is then distributed to users.
I realize users wanting higher anon would need to register a new account, using an email completely unassociated to them and only access that mined account in a secure fashion(such as through Tails and Tor browser). What got me thinking about higher anon security was a client that wanted his rigs to be running Tails, but he settled on Whonix instead.
I don't know your specific setup but think you said you use AWS, which could theoretically be seized. I suppose that if your "payout" wallet and all related equipment was in a more secure location(meaning not easily subpoenaed/seized by the USA or such) then a mixer type service could be done.
Depending on how much trouble it is to set up securely, a mixer would be a value added service to the pool users
Any thoughts?
I haven't heard about AWS to seize some proprietary service until now. Maybe DMCA related?
Anyway, it doesn't matter because I have backup of wallet file. I can distribute coins from other vendor servers easily.
Actually Zcash, Zclassic coins are already distributed from other server.
It's not difficult at all.
Miningpoolhub is currently using AWS, digitalocean, linode, and not-cloud vendor in asia. So I'm using 4 vendors, from global regions.
Anyone did not ask me about crypto transaction history to me until now.
I believe they(I don't know. maybe gov?) will target exchange sites than pools. Pool is quite small regarding its volume.
Also pool even doesn't know about miners. Pool didn't get any personal info like passport, phone number or address like exchange sites.
Only email address and login ip is logged for security and minimal functions.
Cryptocurrency is quite hard to trace fundamentally.
If you concern much about anon, maybe monero or dash payout would be better then.
Thanks.
