Can people stop posting reserve and post your TX and the timestamp?! This is kinda cheating the giveaway just to get the additional bonus.

@OP: Reward the bonus based on the timestamp.

Review in process


LMAO son! you're doing the same thing. (Also called hypocrisy).

@OP Since you are accepting only mid - high ranking members consider explaining why you chose to allow red / negative trust members to participate?

Pretty sure the high-ranking members only is just to prevent multi accounters from entering this.

Bitcoin makes the world go 🔃
I'm just new on mixer website and I' m not well knowledgeable on it's function but I have some idea in my mind. What if I deposit my BTC in an exchange then Buy tether then convert again to BTC? I used Tether so that the gap in buy/sell price is not huge then it means that my old BTC is not the same right? Same function of mixer? Just my thoughts.

Took time to write my review to reflect my experience, but I've used the mixer a few minutes after I've originally posted.
For everybody's reference, check the timestamp!

Wrong. You edited way after 2 hours after since you originally posted. Also, seems like you copied my format but I'll let that slide Smiley

I just tried the service, and here's my review:

I'm judging the site based on 5 criterias:
  • Website Appeal & Design
  • Website Readability
  • Process Transparency
  • Mixing Service Strength & Speed
  • Support & Dispute Resolution



Detailed Overview

Website Appeal & Design:
Personally, I did not like the site design at all. It looks like a site that was designed in 2006. Texts were rather large and everything seemed dumbed down and clunky.
Also, I didn't understand get why the favicon, the iconography of the 'Start Mixing' button did not match the logo. By the way that rocket icon for the mixing button is ripped off the internet. I've seen that same design in many places. If Bestmixer.io wants to establish a solid identity, then they need to do a better job of developing unique graphics that's exclusive to their site.
However, the saving grace for the design and whole user experience part was that I did like how responsive and light the page felt. The fade-ins-&-outs were done between pages pretty tastefully and I think if they hire a professional to design the site, they could probably improve its visual appeal.
Right now, if I were a big bag holder of coins, I would not trust this site based on how it looks as of now.

Website Readability:
"Please, Download Letter of Guarantee before send us coins" this was the main message on the order page. Just one example of text that was not proofread well. The written text made use of passive voice excessively but that's a mistake we all make these days. Readability can improve by miles if they hired a professional and certified proofreader.

Process Transparency:
They have made attempts to guide a newbie user through what each of their field boxes mean and what actions they perform. However, a mini narrated video or a guided flash tutorial on the page could help the ultra noob, of which there are going to be many because mixing is a fairly advanced topic.

Mixing Service Strength & Speed:
This is the one part where this website absolutely shines, it does what it advertises! The mixing parameters are fairly basic but they can be customized to each use case.
The unconfirmed incoming transaction was instantly detected on the deposit address. Once my transaction was confirmed by the network it took the mixer around 6 or 7 minutes or so to send the BTC to my receiving wallet. Best mixing results can be obtained by increasing the delay and service fee parameter.
I chose my personal fee parameter to be at 0.5%


Support & Dispute Resolution:
This is another place where this website can improve by a lot. They could implement a chatbot / live support functionality for users to get on the fly support. When I made the order I instantly opened a support ticket : https://bestmixer.io/en/support/3PTd8SUYec. As of now while writing this review, that support ticket is still unattended.

Other Suggestions:
Apart from what I have already told you, I'd like to suggest you to keep the number of supported coins to the minimum. At best 8 - 10 top coins only.
Also, for bitcoin, I hope your deposit addresses recognize transfers from segwit addresses.







If I had to rate the site and overall experience;

I'd give it 3.75 Out of 5 STARS





My BTC address where you can send the reward : 394T7cYKb8RTW5HV7R1BJMTRmuXAB3fwAZ
This is a segwit enabled Greenwallet address.

Mixing complete! My order id# is: 2qcY5WaI11. Everthing went smoothly!

In terms of user interface, it was well designed and actually very straight forward. It looks modern and i love how simple and uncluttered the text is because this really helps keep things simple. Unlink other complicated websites, with Bestmixer i knew exactly what to click.

In terms of speed, i was really impressed by how the amount i deposited was immediately reflected on the webpage even without reloading the page. This, along with the letter of guarantee, truly makes me feel safe sending my bitcoins to this mixer. I will surely use this service again.

Thank you Bestmixer and keep up the good work. Looking forward to ETH mixing!

I really don't know how this mixer thing works, and I didn't try to mix because I only have 0.01 Btc in my wallet and I'm really saving it. I know the fee will be refunded but, the main reason I didn't try it is because I really don't know how it works. But as a webpage developer (student). I reviewed the webpage and came up to this idea.

I have suggestion to this part

It seems like it is part of the webpage' s body and doesn't look too good (based in my own likings) . I think you should make a footer for this contents. I can imagine that it will look much better.

The webpage is mobile friendly and I like it. I will add more information if I noticed something again. And OP, I'm not going to ask for reward as I didn't follow the rules. I didn't mix any coin. Have a good day Smiley

I have just tried out this service, I listened to the recommendations the gave me and set a time delay and a custom fee.
I loved the bar below it telling us basically how well the mixing would go in anonymizing the coins Smiley   I tested out the site on my phone it worked perfectly and doesn't look messed up at all.
The option to add more receiving address is quite a compelling feature as well. To me the UI was very user friendly and quite intuitive, it felt so easy to use and isn't a pain at all.

The fee calculator is also great, showing the user their expected amount back to them after mixing. I can safely say this mixing service gets a +1 from me and should from anybody else.

UPDATE:
Just received my award thanks Smiley

BESTMIXER.IO REVIEW

Overall Rating

(4.4 Stars)

Highlights
1. Three kinds of coins available for mixing
2. Fee can be as low as 0.5%
3. No fixed fee on top of variable fee
4. Clear net and Tor compatible
5. Simple mixer
6. Transaction fees are set at a good rate

Website/UI


The website design is quite simple and nothing complicated. It just clearly shows how things should be and everything is easy to find.
Fonts are pretty readable. Font size are standard even when viewing from 3440 x 1440 screen without zooming in or having windows on standard 100% size.

Mixing Process


Standard mixing process which is:

Step 1: Start Mixer
Step 2: Enter receiving address
Step 3: Choose options for fees and delays
Step 4: Confirm selections
(Nice touch with the warning about less anonymity when entering bare minimum on fees and delays)
Step 5: Receive guarantee letter and mixing address
Step 6: Done and wait for receipt of mixed coins

Just pretty straight forward nothing really complicated about the process. No added fancy, useless, or added steps to just mix coins.
Just a standard and well working mixer and again the saying goes "should not try to reinvent the wheel."
Nothing wrong with such, since that's what's nice about this mixer, because its plain and simple.

Available Coins for Mixing


Offers three different coins for mixing. Great for those people that are looking to mix those coins.

List of coins:
1. Bitcoin
2. Bitcoin cash
3. Litecoin
4. ETH - coming soon

Fees


One of the lowest, if not the lowest, fees for a cryptocurrenty mixer on the market with just 0.5% fees as minimum.
There is no additional fixed fee aside from this variable fee unlike other mixers who charge a fixed fee on top of the variable fee.

Tor/Clear Net


Great for everybody! Since you can just mix using a standard browser that will allow more users to be able to use the service.
But they did not forget those privacy paranoid individuals by making a Tor website.

Speed


Time sent btc to mixing address: 2018-03-20 23:39:16 | Confirmed after: +4 mins or 2018-03-20 23:43:29
Time received on receiving address: 2018-03-20 23:45:05 Confirmed after: +10 mins or 2018-03-20 23:55:27

I placed a 0 delay so basically the mixer sent my coins exactly 1 min and 36 secs.
It was not 0 delay probably because the system waited for at least 2 confirmations or it was standard processing time even at 0 delay.

Transaction Fees


The system placed a fee of 0.00006039 BTC or 27.081 Sat/B. which is way above the minimum right now according to https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ at the time of mixing.

Transaction size


The site merely stated that it can handle a big transaction, as to how much is the question it did not address.
Liquidity of a mixer is one of the concerns of people that want to mix a huge amount of bitcoins so I suggest this should be declared.

Support


No live support. No email support. No contact details.
I get why they don't have a physical address and all, but I do think they need basic contact details.

Security


They boast a higher security feature than other mixers and also has CAE-checker to check previous transactions with other selected mixers.
I don't have in-depth knowledge I'd just rely on their word for it for now.

I'll test. Will edit with review.



Mixing went just as expected. I like the "modern" design, though I'd prefer a version without Javascript, and the more security/privacy conscious people might not like running JS, even if it's all self hosted. The mixing process was straightforward. The time delay was fairly accurate, it was relayed by Blocktrail about 1 minute after the delay I set, which is very reasonable. I would add better fee estimation. I'm assuming the 6000ish satoshi fee per output is roughly the transaction fee used, which is overkill for today's fee environment. The transaction from your side used a fee just above 25 satoshis/byte, when according to Johoe's mempool statistics, there was less than half a megabyte of transactions paying over 5+ satoshis/byte. While this difference is fairly small, it does lower the end fee for your customer.

I like the auto updating status screen, however I would add one more status: "Sent but unconfirmed". The status has the exact same text when the transaction was sent but unconfirmed, and while I was waiting the time delay. I had to manually check my address, so it would be nice to have a "Sent but unconfirmed", so that the customer can see the txid.



Took a deeper look, so I'm updating my review. Here's an archive showing that this review was among the first 5 posted, by lasted edited timestamp (idk how you plan on doing this)

I like how you are mixing up the change addresses. (I assume this is intentional) My mixing output had a legacy address input, and a P2SH (not sure if multisig or nested SegWit, as the change address hasn't been spent from yet) change address, which can help with privacy. I would also add support for bech32 addresses in your mixer, and use those as a change address occasionally, to further 'mix' things up. See what I did there? Tongue



I confirm I have gotten my reward.

Amazing service! Bestmixer is a true competitor to other mixing services.

Tried mixing with the lowest fee possible and the fastest time and i received my BTC on time. This service is far better than shapeshift in many ways as shapeshift is ripping people off. Happy to find an alternative to that service. I see Ethereum will be part of the service soon and hopefully more coins will be added soon after.

Feel free to try it out guys, Bestmixer is a very professional and well working system. Within minutes my transactions were on their way to my wallet. I will definitely use it again.

The site idea and content is pretty good!

I start testing this mixer, Sent around 0.005BTC.
Settings: "Service Fee" to 0.6, "Delay" to 1.30 H

Site speed, UI is good.
I think if you made the fee calculator before starting the mixing will be great, Add required number to confirm, Write the time of arrive like: "You will get 0.1 CoinName on 21.03.2018 01:25:00 to CoinAddress", Add option to control TX fees..

After using the site for a while it became very slow!

Edit: reward received, Thanks BestMixer.io team!

I really like reviewing new mixers Smiley

I have tried BESTMIXER and the whole website and mixing proccess looks great. Even that I deslike the use of Javascript, this makes the website very user-friendly and slick.

I sent a small amount (close to the minimum of 0.005BTC) and chose 1 address and no delay to test out how fast you can mix your coins if you are in a hurry (I hope that's ok even that you said you want us to focus on the Mixing strength meter). Something that I really liked about the mixing proccess is how they indicate the level of "anonymization" that your mix will have. If you add more addresses and a bigger delay, you will get a higher level in the "Mixing strength" indicator. If you do like me and use no delay and only 1 address, they will warn and suggest you that the mixing can be more effective if you tweak the settings a little bit.

After I sent the coins to the receiving address, the page immediately showed the funds and a "Waiting confirmation" indicator. I waited for my transaction to get a confirmation, which thanks to how empty is the BTC mempool only too 2 minutes, and 1 min and 30 seconds later I received my coins. TLDR: The whole 'Wallet 1 -> mixer -> Wallet 2' process with no delays took only 3 min and 30 seconds.

MY quick suggestion: You could also let the user customize the transaction fees (or at least give them a slider with a minimum to avoid 0 sat/byte fees). I paid a fee of 8 say/bytes and got a confirmation in the next block while you guys sent my coins with a 28 sat/byte (almost 4x more). This would also help prevent Blockchain analysis.

Edit: I received the reward. Thanks!
