What does that mean? Do you mean that people need to mix with their own funds first or something like this?

We strive to avoid political discussion but in this case we will comment that privacy and freedom are basic human rights.

This is part of the task... now try to find them after the testers have mixed

The Letter of Guarantee is signed via PGP and we delete it from our server after a successful mix. We don't need to have it on our server as we only need to verify the PGP signature to be sure that it's real.
In case a problem arises:
1. You post the LoG publicly and all users can see that it was signed by us
2. You can track the bitcoin addresses in there and see if the coins arrived
The LoG obliges us to send coins to selected outputs when you input coins. If we do not comply You can show it to the community and end our reputation.

Technical details about MyCryptoCode

While MyCryptoCode associates your inputs together, we use one way hash function bcrypt, industry standard for hashing passwords, to store the connection. Once a new order is created, we compare provided MyCryptoCode against all stored hashes to determine which inputs can be used. What this means, is that we can only determine the connection knowing the MyCryptoCode in the first place.

For technical reasons we had to use reasonably low cost parameter for bcrypt function, it is still very unlikely someone would be able to brute force enough of the associated codes to make any connections in sensible time with current technology.

Can I join? I can review your platform too  
Here's my BTC add if you decided to add me to the list: 1HJx172Qbv8C67gU3vmfWqtbQvJSB9bVfx

Here's my past work regarding reviewing other platform:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53316016

Here is my review:

Design is smooth, light with easy navigation and very mobile friendly which is an A for me.

I opted for the coins to sent out to 2 addresses, I reduced the transaction fee a bit to enable the first outgoing transaction time be due before the first confirmation, It didn't the work as the transaction got confirmed earlier than I expected.
The process was straight forward and should easily be understood by anyone using your service for the first time. However, after filling all the necessary details and advanced to next page it there was nothing showing about the time interval I had selected except if I when I had to refer to the letter of guarantee.

My suggestions:

• A detailed video tutorial explaining the whole mixing process should be added.
  
• As I mentioned in my earlier post, let users be aware of the risks attached using MyCryptoCode feature.
  
• On the mixing page a time (preferably a count down) about when the each out outgoing transaction would be broadcasted should be added.
  

I just got my first output transaction, second one should be in about 6 hours.

I have already received the funds, so I'm going to start with the basics of the site, and once the mixing process gets finished, I'll add that to this post.

First impresion
The site has a fresh, intuitive and user friendly interface, pretty easy to navigate and with some FAQs.

The mixer
When you click on "Mix BTC", you get another intuitive page. You can add up to 5 different addresses, you can use the slidebars to change the % of the coins going to each wallet and the time delay. You can also set the service fee, which the site suggest to leave on irregular amounts to help decrease traceability, and the "Cryptocode".

Once everything is set up, you get to the next step, a dashboard-kind page where you can download the letter of guarantee, see the address you have to send the coins to, the order ID, the MixerCode, and a space where your incoming transaction will be displayed along with the outgoing ones.

Things I noticed so far

- There is no kind of "warning" message about the "feePerAddress" on the mixing page itself. A user that jumps straight into mixing without reading the FAQ might get surprised if s/he receives less coins than the ones s/he is expecting to receive back. It's not really a big deal, but small details make the difference

- When you are setting up the mixing you can choose to enter a Cryptocode, which later on is called MixerCode. Changing the name of the things from one step to the next is not something I'd do

- As some other users have pointed out, logs are said to be deleted 24 hours after the mixing. Nevertheless, you can enter the MixerCode that you get on the first mixing you do to prevent your previous coins from coming back to you. That means that some kind of log is kept. It may not keep the personal information, but saying all logs are deleted and then keeping some is rather deceiving. Following with this, if every time you use a MixerCode on a new transaction, you get a new code (this would be the 2nd code, on the 3rd mixing), said code will contain the information on the last mixing, but also the information of the first one; in the end, you are creating a chain that makes traceability much easier. So this thing you say on the FAQ, is definately not true


- I was curious enough to check the address you sent the testing coins from, I've been able to get the addresses of so far 5 tester. It's not really realted to the review itself, but may leave the door open to some privacy concerns about a mixing not mixing their coins.... (or maybe it's just me being paranoid)

- The slidebars for time delay and percentage are okay, but some users may want to input the values in a more accurate way (with a keyboard/keypad, for example)

What did I do while the coins got mixed?
Well, I've received some test coins, I've sent them and now I have to wait to get them back... during that time, I've decided to check the whole rest of the site, even if it is not related to the mixing process itself. I first went to check the help center, should I have a situation that requires help.

The help center is something rather basic. You can read the same 10 questions that the landing page has, some links to articles of the blog of the site and of course, a link to the contact form.

Next thing I checked, the blog. The site is rather new, so I wasn't expecting much content, and that's exactly what I found. 4 very generic articles about why people should mix bitcoins/privacy. Some typos and grammar mistakes, which again are no big deal, but small details count. There's a tutorial on how to use the service in one of the articles, a place where rather few people would search for it, and a strange asterisc with no further explanation about it


Apart from that, apart from being generic, the 4 articles talk about pretty much the same. It did strike me that there is no single reference to manual mixing of the coins; considering it's a blog article talking about what bitcoin mixing is.

There are a couple other disturbing points on the blog, but this one in which you actively state that you are helping people evade the law is the most disturbing one...


Saying that someone uses and benefits from your service on a monthly basis, when the feature you are refering to is currently not available can be catalogued as lying, which is not the gratest idea on a new site....


Apart from that, I checked the PGP public key, but there's not much that can be done only watching it

Some more notes

Reading the following on the Letter of Guarantee some questions arose


I understand you can make some mistakes that should be corrected before the mixing ends; I can think of people putting a wrong output address.... and not many more things (which I'm sure there are).

But the real question here is: if the letter of guarantee is only valid during mixing, and after mixing "all" logs are destroyed, what would happen in the event of someone not receiving the coins because of a mistake on the sites end? Or any similar incident that could not be foreseen until after the mixing takes place.

Opinion so far
There is room for improvement; it looks like a promising mixing service, but pretty much like any new mixing service you may find. Tomorrow, when I receive the coins I've sent, I'll end this post.

It will also be good to read the review of the more tech savy users.

Edit 1, first payment received: I sent the coins at 03:37AM and received them back at 09:22. I had set a delay of 337 minutes, so the coins arrived a bit after what I expected, not a big deal.

The mixng dashboard updated once it received the amount to be mixed, and as I had set 2 outputs, it did the math and it clearly shows how much coins wach address is receiving. It took me some time to figure out how this was calculated, because I was expecting lower amounts due to the 0.25mBTC fee, but I think I got it right

I did some trials and amounts did vary depending on whether the flat fee was applied after or before the service fee.

Will update once I get the second one


Second transaction received right on time

Correct, It will ensure You won't receive coins from neither A nor B in future mixes.

While MyCryptoCode associates your inputs together, we use one way hash function bcrypt, industry standard for hashing passwords, to store the connection. Once a new order is created, we compare provided MyCryptoCode against all stored hashes to determine which inputs can be used. What this means, is that we can only determine the connection knowing the MyCryptoCode in the first place.

For technical reasons we had to use reasonably low cost parameter for bcrypt function, it is still very unlikely someone would be able to brute force enough of the associated codes to make any connections in sensible time with current technology.
We have now ended the campaign for reputable members with coins sent upfront.

We have sent coins to:
@efialtis
@Harkorede
@Danslip
@Dalmar
@mrdeposit
@seleme
@PuertoLibre
@khaled0111
@Csmiami
@Xardasim
@STT
@Continuous
@asu
Looking forward to hearing the reviews!

From now on only the regular review terms will work

I was going to make mention of the same thing as @Khaled just did, I was actually saving it for my review.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still not getting a total hang of this feature, so let's say I mixed a coin sent from Address A, and
MyCryptoCode is CodeA, and after a while I mixed another coin sent from Address B and using the MyCryptoCode A. will my CryptoCode A now ensure I don't receive coins from either address A and/or B when next I decide to mix ? Hence associating coins A and B together and so on.


I suggest you include this in the explanations of how the "MyCryptoCode" works, some would prefer to opt for the best anonymous measures available.

I'll do the review, I've used a few different services in the past and even done a review for a few sites.  I'll send the BTC address by PM in a minute.    I need to move some money this week anyhow, whats the time scale required for the testing and review ideally ?


Will update this post to confirm receipt and when proceeding with testing and then the review.

edit:
received with thanks, will test with funds.

Please send another address in a private message.


We have set the minimum amount at 0.003. Reason is that it's just not good economically with around 0.25mBTC fee per address to mix less than that.
Splitting Your order into 5 outputs will kill you with on-chain fees.

Please message me your address and let's get mixing


The "MyCryptoCode" is a random, unique identifier, we associate with the coins you send us. We do not associate the code with transactions you receive from us, so even if you were to use it, the trace is lost the moment your coins enter our mixer.

While MyCryptoCode associates your inputs together, we use one way hash function bcrypt, industry standard for hashing passwords, to store the connection. Once a new order is created, we compare provided MyCryptoCode against all stored hashes to determine which inputs can be used. What this means, is that we can only determine the connection knowing the MyCryptoCode in the first place.

For technical reasons we had to use reasonably low cost parameter for bcrypt function, it is still very unlikely someone would be able to brute force enough of the associated codes to make any connections in sensible time with current technology.

Please send us your BTC address

In your website, you claim that you remove all logs after the mixing process is completed.
However, the "MyCryptoCode” utility, according to your website again, is to prevent sending the user his own coins in later transactions/mixing. Doesn't that mean you save all deposit transaction inputs in your databases and link them to the user's id/MyCryptoCode!?
Am I missing something?


By the way, am interested in testing your mixer and leave an honnest review.

Here you go! 1FmXgj3nqZjq6R6S3KGprum6anHYpFdZPa

I may publish it tomorrow, since it's already late and I want to try the delayed times I've already seen you have

I'm willing to try this mixer. Why not, everyone deserves a chance. this would be a very cheap way of trying to scam and I don't think that's the case here.
is there any requirement here for the minimum mixing amount? Is it okay to mix "only" 0.002 BTC?

We were thinking to go Senior member and up, but send me Your BTC address and we'll do it.

The fact that You are wearing a Blender.io avatar and signature doesn't make it sound objectively at all.

Exactly

We have already sent out the first BTC for testing to @efialtis @Harkorede @Danslip @Dalmar

You never know, and in my opinion it's better to have enough options with these types of services in as much as their long-term goal is to provide better security and remain in service, we've had multiple long-existing bitcoin mixers either getting seized by some Agencies or Exit scamming, which led to some thinking mixing might eventually go extinct.

I have some experience with mixer, so if funds are provided by the mixer, I'd have no trouble doing some testing. Altough, you'll have to keep in mind that I'm not an IT guy, so my review wouldn't be focused on the technical aspects of the mixer

I respect the fact you guys are doing the best to make your service popular but i dont see any reason why myself and others will leave long-existing bitcoin tumbler like Blender.io that offer service fee from 0.5% to 2.5% and make use of a mixer company created last year and offer see ice fee of 0.5% to 5%.
But for the review i also recommended loyce and Darkstar


If the trust member of the forum wanted to do the review, i dont see any reason an escrow have to be involve cause trust member will wang to paint his account red because of 0.003BTC.

With the most recent BTC mixer scam, I don't think you'll get many people willing to send funds to your mixer just to get a few bucks.

Good to see you really seem to be interested in actual reviews of reputable members. Lets see if some of our "experts" such as @DarkStar_, @DireWolfM14, @LoyceV will help.

Edit: Oh Loyce just posted before I finished my post.

I'd like to take this offer, i will PM you an addy from my main account LoyceV tomorrow.
You can expect a honest review, good or bad.
