Gotta tumble those coins !
The degree of unlinkability achievable with bitcoin tumbling is not as high as people might think. Lots of papers on that.
One mix isn't enough. Mixing too much at one go is pointless. It's the snake eating a pig issue. And you need to mix at least three times, using different mixing services, among different wallets. I like using Whonix instances, because they're easy to setup, and can be considered disposable.
Plus other hurdles... - Exchanges ... logs, fees, account locking (theft)
Don't use them :)
- Tumblers... logs, fees, risk of theft
I've never suffered from theft. http://foggeddriztrcar2.onion http://bitmixer2whesjgj.onion http://grams7enufi7jmdl.onion/helix
- Joinmarket, the only operational, p2p, self contained in network method, in existance... has some issues too.
So does it work well as a mixer? I'll check it out.
