The fact that this service is available on ToR makes it so reliable and the User Interface is also solid. I would love to use it one day, currently I don't have millions to move around haha.

You don't need millions in order to use the service. Instead, think like this: each time you will feel like moving some money to a centralized exchange -- forget it. Use the mixer instead of the exchange. No matter the purpose of the transaction, I am talking at large now. Like when you want to lose weight and when you feel like eating some junk food it's better to drink a glass of water instead and forget about the junk food.

Similar here: if you are using a CEx -- stop it. Use a mixer instead.

Such approach would also help, in time, the entire community of bitcoiners, improving their privacy and stripping centralized exchanges from their power.

Normally we can say that [...]

One confirmation: a secure transaction, but reorganizations  and double-spending can occur.

Then again:

Is there anyone who has ever lost Bitcoins to a double spend attack after 1 confirmation?  Personally, I have never come across such a case.

Have you come across such situation, Yamane_Keto? Smiley

Yet since you insist of the magic of number 2, I can not say anything else than what was given until now as argument. Perhaps UniJoin may explain you more clearly which they chose 2 confirmations.

No matter what number they chose, some would still ask why that number of confirmations was chosen.

Normally we can say that:

Zero Confirmations: unsecure transaction because of RBF Possibility.
One confirmation: a secure transaction, but reorganizations  and double-spending can occur.
3 confirmations: Very secure transaction, no reorganization can happen but double-spending can happen.
6 confirmations: A very very secure and irreversible transaction.

Some services accept zero confirmation transactions if they do not contain a RBF FLAG.
So that I was surprised by number 2.



@[banned mixer] I've tried the mixing service, it's smooth and works well, any plans to release Electrum plugin? As far as I know there is no implementation of Coinjoin as an Electrum plugin and after everything that happened with Wasabi Wallet, providing this option will attract more traffic to your site.

Why don't you use Tor version of the website?
then why Cloudflare?

Why not? The forum itself also uses CloudFlare. Indeed, perhaps it's not the best option, since many associate CloudFlare with NSA, but it is what it is.

We can reach a compromise, one confirmation to start the mixing process and not be able to withdraw until you get 3 confirmations, here the waiting time is reduced and the coins are still safe. Grin

See? What you wrote above is precisely what I anticipated in my earlier post:

I guess they wanted to choose a number bigger than zero and small enough in order for the users to not complain. Perhaps, if they required 6 confirmation there would be questions about "why are 6 confirmations needed?". Same would have happened if they required 3 or, like in current case, 2 confirmations.

then why Cloudflare? I have not tried managing a site using Cloudflare, but they have many tools and I think [banned mixer] can edit Cloudflare DDoS settings to improve the user experience. I almost need to solve CAPTCHA every time I visit the site. If others do not have this experience, then perhaps the problem is on my end.

I haven't seen a "normal" chain reorg with the abandoned loosing chain branch being longer than one block for a long time now. Thus waiting for two confirmations seems almost safe enough to me. It's basically the smallest amount of confirmations that you would stick to without taking too much of a risk.
A reorganization means that the transaction becomes unconfirmed and not a double spend, in this case 3 confirmations are safe since the reorganization can happen in 2 blocks.

2 confirmations will definitely affect the time you have to wait for the coins to mixed, depending on how fast the blocks confirm. This is where I said that if someone can wait for 4 hours for the coins to be mixed, the 2 block confirmations (approximately 20 mins on average) should not be a big concern.

I say 2 confirmations not 2 hours, just wondering because 1 confirmations needed (to avoid RBF) or 6 confirmations (to ensure it's impossible to double spend) so why two.
Maybe I wasn't elaborate enough, but my point is it is just a number, there is no major reason for 2 and not 4 or 6 confirmations. Anything more than 1 confirmation is assumed "safe" depending on the person behind the service. I have seen exchanges accept 1 confirmation in order to credit an account, Others require at least 2, 3 or 6 confirmations.

Is there anyone who has ever lost Bitcoins to a double spend attack after 1 confirmation?  Personally, I have never come across such a case.

Cloudflare DDoS makes the site very slow, and since you care about customer data and don't want Chainanalysis to collect data, doesn't using coinjoin with Cloudflare provide traceable privacy?

Why don't you use Tor version of the website?

If once can wait out for 4 or 6 hours to have their coins mixed, then waiting two block confirmations should be a problem.

Heading now to read the article as the current market of cryptos seems to be on a crossroad with price of Bitcoin trying to stabilize around 30k$ and that would be amazing as long as he can keep this position during the summer cycle. The title is also like a glove on the current market situation as the greed indicator is becoming bigger and bigger when there is not real motive for people to be greedy as Bitcoin doesn't seem to drop under 25k again or ever. ( my opinion ).

I shared my opinion about BTC price since last year. And since then I keep saying that I believe its price will constantly grow, on the long term, as halving is coming. Considering that on Jan 3rd or so the price was 15.000$ and now it is greater than 30.000 I guess we are on the right path. Probably the closer we get to halving the bigger the price will be. (Obviously, this is not a financial advice; it is only my opinion about BTC price in the future.)

I wouldn't say three icons is "a lot".  And I don't see how else UniJoin could highlight what services will be available in future.  I'd say it depends on the timeframe.  If support for those other currencies is more than a few months away, then perhaps it is unnecessary to show.  But if it's only a few weeks until users can utilise that service, then they should be informed of what's in the pipeline.
I did not mean these three icons, but I will count the things on the home page:

We have an animated bar showing mixer links on some news sites.
Screen shot above.
Key Features: It's good, I don't recommend deleting it.
About Us: Accepted.
How It Works: Necessary and should appear first.
Regain Your Privacy: Hmmmm.
Why People Choose Us: Hmmmm.
News & Guides: Not necessary.
Crypto Tumbling With: It's the end coool.

This is what I mean by that there are a lot of unnecessary things.
Some of these things can be moved to other pages.

I say 2 confirmations not 2 hours, just wondering because 1 confirmations needed (to avoid RBF) or 6 confirmations (to ensure it's impossible to double spend) so why two.

My interest is in seeing how mixing USDT, a centralized stablecoin which can be frozen in an address, is going to work.
I am also surprised by this and even afraid that mixer addresses will be put on Teller's blacklist.

I am with DooMAD on this. I think it is quite normal from a business perspective to announce the services that will be offered in the near future. It is a way to create expectation and potentially attract customers to those services.

It took me a lot to get to tha end of that page. Mixers are mostly light and even work without animation or JavaScript.



Other than that everything is perfect and I am not criticizing the service, I am expressing my initial feeling. Grin

If the mixing service for these altcoins is not ready, do not indicate it on the home page.

Ever watched a movie trailer before?  The movie likely isn't ready yet, but it gets peoples' attention.

Why does the user need to wait to two confirmations? All services require one confirmation, and there is no difference between one or two confirmations. It would have been more convincing if 6 confirmations were requested.
But Unijoin mixer is not "all services" it's an independent mixer  Grin

Again a nice read of your third article in the current series about US state's hypocrisy dealing with private minted money. As usual it's about keeping control and the upper hand. Loosing that is what politicians and government fear the most.

You might want to fix a typo that distracted me: in first sentence of fourth paragraph there's "abonimation" which should rather be "abomination".

Anyway, again a good and interesting read, thanks for that!

Fun fact: We first used AI to generate an image  Cheesy


I can see that and for me personally it ruins the picture, especially the coin face is (badly) distorted in important details, no readable letters on the perimeter and some more. I like the original coin face logo and its design and it's message in the details. I guess it's hip nowadays to let some bloody AI do things for cheap. If it then looks cheap: mission not accomplished! (Yeah, I'm old-school, I know.)

Well ...is true that AI can do miracles when it comes to photos but they kinda feel soulless right ? I mean , I've played with MidJourney AI for quite a while now and even if I like what he draws , all the photos are just a combination of multiple styles from different artists.  Smiley

We would also be grateful if someone could suggest a way to reduce images when publishing without losing quality!
Usually with the images on the threads I made, I'm testing around the height from 300-500. You can check the threads that I've made and see if the size is what you think fits, like this one. And I've just fixed all of the images from my previous threads.

We have published a new exciting article! This is the third part and the continuation of one big thought!

Hey UniJoin!

Thank you for publishing another article! I am sure that readers will appreciate this one as well.

Regarding your question, in order to change image resolution on the forum you can "play" with the following BBCode commands: height and width. For example, you can use a sequence like this:

Code:
[img height=350]https://i.ibb.co/Sd1qjcL/b6af176c-8048-4729-b91e-4db06822b3f5.jpg[/img]

This way you'll adjust the height of your uploaded image to 350 pixels (the width will adjust automatically). I use this height for most of my uploaded images. However, in some occasions, I also set it to even a lower value, such as 250 or 200.

By applying this command to your image posted above we obtain this:



If you feel the image is stretched somehow you may use other values for height and width. I hope this helps.
