Thanks for the payment Hhampuz.
But since the mixer were closed recently with some serious investigations taking place, I would like to know from where did you receive their payment and pay us? This was running in my mind right from today morning once the website was seized! If the payments for the whole campaign period were made from the mixed coins wouldn't that be little bit dangerous on your side and from our side? With coin tracking taking place, wouldn't that lead up straight to this campaign money?
Posting this not to create a confusion among the participants, but to be safer on the other side. Dutch officials claim the coins were of criminal origin and seems to be used for money laundering services, so if our payment coins were the mixed one wouldn't it create a havoc in the minds of participants? Not everyone who participated in the campaign would be aware of a mixing service, so liquidating might create a problem for them.
The whole process went like this:
The BestMixer account here at bitcointalk sent me a PM asking if I could run a Sig campaign for them. After negotiations we set it up and agreed on payrates and for how long the campaign would run. They started off by sending me 3
BTC and 4 weeks later they sent me another 3
BTC (and were scheduled to send me another 3
BTC this week).
I did not ask nor did I check where the
BTC came from, as I've never done no matter what transaction I've been involved with.
I've never had any contact with BestMixer outside of this forum, the account that messaged me never even gave me a name at the bottom of their message. I once asked if we could talk outside of bitcointalk since it would be easier and due to them not being online here that much. They declined and said this will be the only form of communication.
I don't want any of you to feel at risk, at the end of the day I offer a service and they reached out to me (I'm not in any danger, neither are you). As for the origin of the bitcoin, it should not matter too much at this point either. Although I've never come across any case where someone got screwed over just for receiving
BTC from a questionable source. Time will tell I guess but as I previously mentioned, none of us
should be in any danger.
It is a pity - I thought that the 12 weeks you mentioned would be guaranteed - unfortunately not everyone cares about their declarations.
@Hhampuz know that despite this situation, I think you are one of the best managers in this forum and I will be happy to join the next campaign conducted by you.
We can run it for 12 weeks if you'd like, let me just message europol and the dutch authorities and ask if they could give us some
BTC for the campaign?
