Lol, impossible, without breaking the code. A mixer needs the TX's of other users to mix, and there is no getting that from your wallet.

A coder can make it happen pretty easy, but that is not part of the bitcoin daemon/client and is a second layer of coding over that, maybe light scripting, and that means trusting yet another total stranger, this time with your Bitcoin key pairs.

I found a few wallets like Pay Treat Bitcoin , that promise privacy in not tracking transactions, IPs and more. Could those be the solution?
Looks exactly like Coinomi but with fewer coins. I wouldn't trust them. Also, a wallet not tracking transactions and IP has nothing to do with mixing coins.

OP: I just remembered that ChipMixer build an Electrum app that allows you to do all the mixing proccess inside your wallet and import the private keys automatically. Electrum didn't accepted the merge for the plugin because they were afraid of any complications with the legal system. But IIRC, they did accepted a merge that allows you to manually install the ChipMixer plugin.

Thank you for sharing. That would be a smarter as to import manually all keys to somewhere. I imported keys of chipmixer into mycellium. Would be great, if Electrum would go with its awesome services mobile. Also the feature with USB stick instead of hardware wallets s great.

Thank you for the plugin link. I have to take a lot at it later. I still used mixing services like Chipmixer and Cryptomixer and "obfuscate transactions" because I really want privacy. Another option that I can only see is either Monero and Zcash. Though I haven't try to convert bitcoin to Monero though. I just used the old and reliable method of tumbling service.

Looks interesting but will check it out later. I browsed around the forum and I found this link:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pay-treat-multi-coin-wallet-1761144

Its there ANN thread but looks like its not much update on the development of this wallet.

It is possible, already exists and is called Monero wallet. Problem is it is not Bitcoin wallet.

Soo sad, but i wish bitcoin wallet mixer would exist someday.
Just convert bitcoin to monero and that's all, there is no need of something different. Monero is good for that as far as I know (also bitmixer.io's owner mentioned that) but I still read some posts where people say that monero isn't safe and other coins are more anonymouse than monero.
But there is no need of mixers if anything you do is ok.
I think what chipmixer offers customers is high anonimity because you have more options than other mixers but there will be still more works on anonimity and as time goes everything will redevelope.
Monero transactions is not anonymous ( http://www.trustnodes.com/2017/04/15/monero-transactions-usually-not-anonymous-says-new-study ) Zcash is the only one among these currencies that provides strong anonymity. For an explanation of why bitcoin is not anonymous, take a look at the recent keybase post on adopting zcash: https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-and-zcash

A 100% anonymous Bitcoin wallet with a built in mixer services will get closed down and hunted down by governments. It

will have to be a decentralized service or operating in a country where nobody can get to it. {where it will be legal} I think

most countries still tolerate pseudo-anonymity because cash gives people the same level of anonymity.... but 100%

anonymity will never be tolerated by governments. {They will seriously start banning Bitcoin, if this is standard practice}  Huh

Here's a good enough way for someone who wants to be anonymous and use bitcoin! https://www.expressvpn.com/internet-privacy/bitcoin-anonymity/step-by-step-guide/

Bitcoin, its default state, should never be considered an anonymous (or even reasonably private) monetary system. Bitcoin’s pseudonymity is tenuous at best, easily compromised by basic net surveillance. Now although Bitcoin wallets with coin control features allow you to make payments from select addresses, the way that Bitcoin wallets handles change often results in various addresses within the wallet becoming provably linked. As a result,- one identity-associated address under your control can “leak” information about your other - “unknown” addresses.

This is actually a good idea. I'm sure theres a way to have something like this implimented directly onto a wallet.  Smiley

There was a talk regarding mixing bitcoins at Breaking Bitcoin conference in Paris last weekend.

You should find some answers and ideas there.

The presentation starts at about minute 11:00.

I heard some wallet before but in tor network but i heard that it is not safe because your bitcoin will be gone if you clear your wallet..
Much better if you wanted to be anonymous make your new wallet and use the chipmixer to mixing your bitcoin and no one can trace your transaction..
This is the best for now that i think safe than a none safeway to become anonymous..

Until such wallet exists and if you don't want to pay fees in a mixer service you can use a gambling website to send your deposit there. Play a single bet with minimal value like 1 mBitcoin and wait a few hours, withdraw to another address from the one you send your deposit. Keep creating as many wallets as you like and you can use this simple yet effective way of mixing your coins and getting fresh coins, fresh for you only.

Many gambling websites would not tolerate this behavior for long. They want you to actually gamble there
and lose your funds in the process and not become a partner in crime for crypto laundering.

Some operators even explicitly prohibit this kind of behavior in their terms of service.



I have done that a few times with different sport books and not one has complained. I gamble 0.0005 btc to 0.001 btc before I withdraw my money. That is the only requirement in order for me to withdraw, to place at least one minimal bet before asking to withdraw funds. I play two bets always before asking for withdrawal, if bets are wins I continue to play with my winnings.

How should they track the IP and then the coins? We just could use VPN and that would it be, wouldn't it?

If they know the IP and if it belongs to a VPN , they can ask the VPN provider who used that IP that day, and they find you.

So you better use TOR instead of a VPN.
Maybe using TOR alone is better than VPN together with TOR (See also the first response and comments to this question: https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/1945/tor-via-vpn-good-extra-level-of-security-or-unnecessary )

About the path of the coins, it's simple:
BTC address A (your address) => deposit to B (your BTC account on betting site) => withdraw to address C
Imagine the betting site logs these movements, so they know there's this path from address A to C. They can tell the authorities

About how they find out which IP sent coins from BTC address A... well, i think there's plenty of information about BTC being "pseudoanonymous" and not anonymous.

Example:
Quote
How is anonymity defeated?

There are basically three ways to de-anonymize Bitcoin users.

First of all, even though Bitcoin transactions are randomly transmitted over the peer-to-peer network, this system is not airtight. If an attacker, for instance, has the means to connect multiple nodes to the Bitcoin network, the combined data collected from these different nodes might be enough to determine where a transaction originated.

That is not a problem.
You can bet all your coins on bets with high probability (and lowest odds), so they cannot say you are not betting all your money.
Then after you win you withdraw everything.
It's not against their TOS, you actually are betting every single coin you have deposited and they can't find out you did it just for other reasons.

But the problem with this approach is the same as VPNs, they log everything so all your money movements are not untraceable as they claim.
When you withdraw , authorities know you are the same person who deposited/bet those coins.

And Monero/ZCash/ZCoin claim to be untraceable but often new researches come out that find privacy vulnerabilities in those currencies, so i would think twice before using Monero if i were doing shady stuff, it would be too risky not having the guarantee it's untraceable .

Many voices here on this forum say that the only solution is still a wallet over TOR (whatever crypto you want, even Bitcoin)
