Is there any decentralized mixer? It is not always easy to hide identity when doing btc transactions and direct p2p mixers would facilitate that.

Not directly a p2p mixer, but coinjoin probably is what you are looking for.
This is a method to combine multiple transactions (from multiple senders) into one large transaction to obfuscate the the recipient.

Wasabi (https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi), a desktop wallet for windows, linux and mac, has this feature included.
Currently the minimum amount to queue for coinjoin is 0.1 BTC.

In this process, there is no centralized entity which is required to be trusted.

LaGaulios thread, listing some Bitcoin Mixer- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2023-list-bitcoin-mixers-bitcoin-tumblers-websites-2827109

I remain a little heads-up when facing centralized crypto services , especially when it comes to mixing ones. Is there any decentralized mixer? It is not always easy to hide identity when doing btc transactions and direct p2p mixers would facilitate that.

There is also BitCloak mixer, active since 2016 and working, but not mentioned in the list. thread here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcloak-mixer-btc-bch-fast-trusted-api-pgp-since-2016-1372290

This is not necessary because I have added a link of the list by Lagaulios, you can check there and will find BitCloak as well. By the way, the purpose of this thread is to share the basic idea of coin mixer, not the list of clin mixer.

There is a good guide on mixing, that presents there are available cheaper methods to increase anonymity, but the fact is there is no perfect method that can bring total anonymity at all. Even with the biggest mixer services. [Guide] Decent mixing methods

I have added this tutorial at the beginning of this article. Theymos has shared the way in that article, I guess it's more than enough. Repeating the same process might help to get a total untraceable coin.

There are dozens of privacy coins as XMR which can be used to conceal the transaction so I wonder why most people waste more fees on mixer to make their tranasction private. Converting your bitcoin to XMR before sending out is the same process as using a mixer.

I think people have their reason why they waste more fees to have a private transaction. My opinion about their reason is that they don't know that there is a service that can conceal a transaction that time or they are just being lazy to search a service that conceal a transaction or use XMR for example.

Alternatively, just use a privacy coin and skip all the work and fees associated with using bitcoin mixers. XMR is one of the best options considering the high trading volume and fairly stable price.

maybe you can update your thread by adding wasabi wallet into a bitcoin mixer and wasabi wallet that uses CoinJoin in order to anonymize BTC.
don't forget to read this thread because theymos recommend 2 wallets that good to use for mixing your coins?

That's right, and remove https://bestmixer.io/ as it was seized already.

It would not really be possible to make using a mixer illegal.

Delivering android updates can be made illegal (at least in the US)... I don't think there is anything (in the US) which can't be made illegal Cheesy

Do you have a source for this?

Never heard of the guy who tried to kill himself, survived and afterwards was sentenced to death for his attempted suicide? Grin

Yes, suicide is illegal in parts of the US, this is largely so insurance companies do not have to payout for suicides. I am not aware of any jurisdiction that imposes the death penalty for attempted suicide. Most jurisdictions will put you in a physic ward if you try to kill yourself.

In addition to the reasons I listed above, in the US, making using a mixer illegal would have freedom of association issues.

Xmr is also becoming illegal in some countries. Mixers aren't illegal yet, as far as I know.

It would not really be possible to make using a mixer illegal.

If you send coins to a third party, you cannot control what they do with the coins. It is also difficult to know if you sending coins to a different wallet of yours is sending the coins to yourself or to a third party. If you receive coins from someone, you cannot control if they previously received the coins from a mixer. If you move coins from one wallet of yours to another, it is difficult to know if you are receiving the coins from a third party or are moving your own coins.

Edit: I've merited the OP for staring this thread. I must admit that I was put off at first by those bounty joining posts, but I have hopes that the OP will not default to just bounty hunting.

Thank you for the motivation for writing some more new topics. I joined some airdrop but it now is looking like wasting my precious time. I will try to contribute to the forum rather than hanging with bounty only.

, we have mixers to protect our privacy.
One of the most popular sites for mixing is ChipMixer,

This is very true,i think chipmixer has to be one of the most popular as its signature is everywhere all around the forum,and it must be providing quality services for it's users.
Mixers all aid in keeping us out of prying eyes,and meanwhile,i haven't used one as of now,i plan to soon,and I definitely will go with chipmixer,as it's been advertised by trustworthy members of the forum

I am glad to see that our contribution to the Chipmixer signature campaign are helping to build a Brand. Yes, you should definitely check it out, because it is very easy to use and it is also very cheap. I have done 1000s of transactions via this service, without one single hiccup. Wink

I see a lot of other mixer services listed in this thread, but I do not know if any of them can be trusted. The Big Brother 3 letter agencies might be behind some of these services. Huh

I think a safe bet would be to mix coins via several different mixer services, in the hope that you might hit the service that are not operated by a 3 letter agency. Roll Eyes

Why not listed the wasabi wallet as another bitcoin mixer this wallet has a built-in mixer which is recommended by our admin Theymos.

This is what others looking for and become anonymous. Wasabi wallet looks the same as grin or beam coin where you can send coins without traces.

You don't need any 3rd party services to mix your coins.

LaGaulois has already created a thread listing most of the Mixer Services along with their fees. I will link up to that thread from my opening thread.

Suggestion: Convert the list's texts into direct links.

Beginners might use this thread as a reference/list of Mixers and we know that they are the most susceptible to scams.
Speaking of scams, there are tons of fake sites with altered letters, name or domain extension, specially mixers;
so, it's best to link the official site(s) of those mixing services to prevent them from using Google search which is the number one reason of "website misdirection".
