Topic: Get paid for testing bitcoin mixer [banned mixer] and leave an honest review about us - page 5. (Read 2619 times)

This is My first time using this kind of services, let's talk about it.

The website has a very clean interface but it could be confusing for new customers. At first glance, the difference between the free trial section and the use of the actual system is not clear.
(You maybe can add a tooltip mouseover?)

I like the idea to avoid the creation of an account to use the service and it is a plus, people are lazy and hates to do things and avoid the registration is very good in this way.

For new users like me, I think it would be very helpful to add an embedded video to explain step by step what to do, this kind of service when people can lose money for a mistake is very scary.

Got one confirmation after the transaction in around 5 minutes and the update was correctly displayed on the website but after that nothing and it was not clear what to do after maybe a message here can be useful so users can know what to do.

For the timing, after 3 hours I got the coins back but the website is still ongoing I guess (2 transactions) maybe one more is coming?! Again an update "in real time" like the mixer is still ongoing or whatever can be useful.

Never used this service before but I think that 3 hours is a long time to wait. If you can reduce it, it will an improvement.

I would like to take part in testing your service. My review will be completely honest and unbiased for you to make the most out of it.
I will pm you my BTC address, please let me know if you wish for me to take part.

I am willing to do this, will leave an honest and detailed review once I've used the service.
Sent you a personal message with my bitcoin address!

Hi, indeed, on our website there is an option for free testing. It has two limitations:

1) only one forward to address can be used
2) only 0,001 BTC can be sent for mixing

In this case you do not pay commission, and get 0,001 after mixing

I want to try this service.

[banned mixer] review:


What is [banned mixer] (beginner's POV): [banned mixer] is a website that mixes your crypto coins and sends them from addresses that is very difficult/impossible to track. So this way the source from which you received the crypto coins can never be tracked.

How does it work: The steps are as follows:
1. You need to visit https://[banned mixer]/
2. Then click "Mix My Coins" which is a blue-colored button.
3. You'll be redirected to the page: https://[banned mixer]/?mix. Enter your 2 "receiving" address/s: one is mandatory and second is optional.
4. Click "Mix My Coins".
5. You'll be redirected to the page where a "sending" address would be displayed. You need to either scan the QR code and send bitcoins or send them manually. Note: The amount should be >= 0.001 BTC and should be max 50 BTC. You will have 168 hours to send the BTC.
6. Once you send the BTC, you will notice this text below the QR code: "A transaction is detected, the sum is X.X BTC, awaiting confirmation"
Optional: You can choose to download the "Letter of Guarantee" which is a button displayed below "Bitcoin Mixer 2.0" which shows the PGP Signed Message. You can even close the page as you wish or bookmark it if you need to visit it later. You can also choose to mix more coins for which you need to follow the same process (steps 3-6).
7. Your coins will appear at your "receiving" address within a time interval of 6 hours.
 
My experience: I tested the website yesterday and since it was the first time I ever used a mixer, I was a bit clueless of how it works. I thought it would require some tedious steps of creating an account or something more but it was not the case. The website had too much information on the home page which made it look little bit confusing as there were no steps mentioned of how to go about. I had to figure it out on my own and hence I added the steps above (hope they are useful). I entered my "receiving" address (noticed you could add one more address) and then sent 0.0015 BTC to the address mentioned on the website. It displayed the text "A transaction is detected, the sum is 0.0015 BTC, awaiting confirmation". This message did not change even after refreshing the page and it kept displaying "awaiting confirmation" after receiving about 20+ confirmations. Note: This transaction got confirmed in less than 5 minutes. I wasn't sure to close the page or leave it open as I felt I may require to revisit it in case I don't receive my coins. I left it open for 3 hours and was ready to wait for 2 more hours till I receive the coins but to my surprise I saw a micro transaction after 3 hours in my wallet and after few minutes, the second and last one arrived. The fee was 50+ sats/byte which was more than sufficient to get the transactions confirmed in time. However, I did not know they would be sent in parts as I did not ask for the same. End of the story is I received my coins after waiting for 3 hours but still the website kept displaying the same text as before as if it was still "awaiting confirmation". I downloaded the Letter of Guarantee which showed the PGP Signed Message.

Pros:
1. Transaction fee added is good enough.
2. Letter of Guarantee assures anonymity.
3. Mixing coins does not require too many tedious steps to follow.


Cons:
1. No explanation on how to mix coins was given on the website.
2. Even after the transaction was confirmed, it said "awaiting confirmation". It does not show how many confirmations does it need to send out the mixed coins.
3. Sending micro transactions was not something I prefer as it sometimes increases the fee while sending out those coins. Users should get the option to choose if they want to receive the coins in one transaction or multiple transactions.
4. Time taken was long. As some users would require to receive the coins urgently, this may be an issue for them.


Some recommendations/changes required:
1. This text is grammatically incorrect "Enter your Bitcoin forward to address below:"
2. A user can be given an option to create an account wherein he could receive the Letter of Guarantee via email then and be notified of his transaction getting confirmed and that he received the coins. While downloading "Letter of Guarantee" it's better if the text document is named the same instead of "LetterGuarantee".
3. Add steps on how to use the website or a video tutorial if possible.
4. A user should know how many confirmations are required to confirm the transaction instead of displaying "awaiting confirmation". Till now I can see the same text even though I have receive the coins and the transaction is confirmed on blockchain. When the transaction is confirmed, the page can be refreshed and also he should know if it's safe to close the page.


Final Verdict: Overall, the mixer is good and I couldn't myself trace the source. I feel that unlike many the 5% fee charged for my transaction is fine as I can see that the mixer needs to send the transactions through various addresses where the fee that need to be paid for the transaction to get confirmed is high so in cases where the transaction amount is below 0.1 BTC, the fee is fine else a fixed fee should be charged.

I received the payment and just sent my coins to the mixer's address. Will post my review when I receive the coins. Sorry for the delay.

I forgot to pm you my btc address please check your inbox
is your "Try Now For Free" promo completely free, as in you pay for network fee after mixing?
for eg. if I deposit 0.001 btc, then you will send back full 0.001 btc or 0.00085 btc?

This is what theymos says about Cloudflare:
And indeed, that's the last thing you want a mixer to use!

Here is my review for the site.

Right of the bat I kind of disappointed since the mixer did not accept a Bench32 address. Nevertheless, the mixer provides an enjoyable and easy way of mixing. It definitely gives a straightway to mix Bitcoin for the user that is less-tech-savvy since Mixtum doesn't let the user customize any 'technichal things', that would be good for them, In other hands, despite a fixed algorithm that set up within the system, I'd believe some of the users want to customize the mixing process especially the time span of process. I understand that Mixtum has a good reason for them as stated of the https://[banned mixer]/#solution, but someone might disagree with that.

Speed, and accuracy. I got the exact value of the mixed coins as calculated on the value calculator that the site provides. It comes with two different tx's, and both of them are received within the time span as stated in the sites(1~6 hours).

User Interfaces, Mixtum does could potentially become the easiest site to mix a coin, a straight-ahead instruction from the start of the website to the point where a user received their mixed coin are as simple as it can.

Website design. I'd personally like the one-page types of the website about the information, and some sort of things. But I'd believe it still could be maximized to be somewhat eye-catchy. Overall, the design does provide accessible information, but I still think it could be maximized so the user could be more interested.
Honestly, the background color over some of the text isn't suitable, IMO. especially on https://[banned mixer]/#solution. Maybe try to like don't separate the box within the section so it just likes the other section.

One more thing that bothers upon inspection is.
Aren't that ironic somehow a mixing site that should provide a tool to make Bitcoin become full anonymity are using a questionable service like Cloudflare, and also Google analytics. Don't get me wrong, but those services aren't privacy-oriented.

I sent you my BTC address via pm. Thanks for the consideration.
