@UniJoin,
Thank you for the opportunity to review your mixer.
Here's a summery of my observations;
- No Letter of Guarantee.
- Front page is busy and appears as if trying to look not scammy.
- Trustpilot reviews seem too good to be true.
- Fees are not accurately described on mixing page.
- Minimum mix amount on mixing page is in conflict with the FAQs.
tl;dr:The mixing functions work well, and fees are very reasonable, but I would not use this mixer without a GPG or Bitcoin signature.
With out the ability to independently verify the LoG, I would never use this mixer. I tried the site that was pointed to as the verification tool in previous posts. I don't know how many configurations I tried, all to no avail. Not that would even consider this if that site was my only option, I only went through the exercise for this review. Essentially, you have no LoG. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but that's a deal breaker for me.
- Front page is busy and appears to be trying to look not scammy.
This is a pet peeve of mine, and I'm well aware that my neurosis is not common; but I hate pointless stuff on websites. Keep it simple and to the point. The more fluff I find a website, especially one that I have trust with my bitcoin, the more suspicious I get. For example; The scrolling line of links to the press releases on various financial sites struck me as especially odd. All those links point to a total of three different press releases that try to pass off as articles or reviews. The one press release that mentions the Ukrainian war makes claims that cannot possibly be verified without breaching your clients privacy, and to me it looks like an excuse to use a tragedy to create a catchy headline. It comes off as poor in taste.
- Trustpilot reviews seem too good to be true.
Really, they look paid-for. 47 total reviews, 43 of which give 5 stars, and the remaining four gave 4 stars. All of this without a functional LoG? Strange.
- Fees are not accurately described on mixing page.
Again, the fees are very reasonable. I was charged 2.03% for one transaction, and 2.01% for the other, both calculated before blockchain fees. A cheep price to pay for privacy.
One thing I noticed that my cause some confusion however, there's no mention of Tx fees on the mixing page:
On the FAQs it's described in more detail, specifically the bolded part:
The fee per mixing operation ranges between 1% - 3% and is generated with a decimal number of 4 digits. Also, the miner’s fee that is required by the crypto network is paid by the user and deducted from the total mixed amount.
- Minimum mix amount on mixing page is in conflict with the FAQs.
From the mixing page:
From the FAQs:
The minimum amount to mix Bitcoins is variable as it depends on the USD value. Currently, the minimum amount to mix is:
Bitcoin: 0.000 BTC
