Simply amazing work. Cool

And I'm also very excited you finally started to charge for something. Grin

Thanks hazek.

If you're charging a 1.5% fee for this anonymous send service, how are you going to withdraw your fees? It strikes me that it'd be very easy for you to create a block of coins tainted by every coin sent through the service, which itself, should it get into wider pools of coins like instawallet, would create tainted blocks of coins that would be quite hard to send through the mixer again... Limited by the 250 depth limit, but still. Similarly anyone can use the mixer a few times to create their own "ultra-tainted" coins, aided by the fact that the mixer will always give you coins that haven't been tainted by the total sum of the taint you already possess. This doesn't even need to be very expensive if you taint a small amount of coins each time, so the 1.5% fee isn't very high, and use them to taint a much lager amount which you then send to something like instawallet.

Given how thoroughly tainted the future could be it also occurs to me that what you will eventually see is miners selling their untainted coins to the mixer, which then leads to pools inserting transactions with unusually high fees, which then leads to pools conspiring to reverse said transactions. Not to mention the question of are mining payouts tainted by the coins which lead to their fees?

Note: for all the bad connotations of the word taint, imagine how much longer and convoluted the above message would be if we had decided to call it coins' provenance.

Fees are withdrawn to a separate private wallet which is used only as a reserve when not enough funds are available in the shared wallet. It is intended that no significant amount of funds will be kept in either wallet but the mixing will be much more dynamic e.g. Users A & B make anonymous transactions, User A receives B's coins, User B receives A's coins within a few minutes, rather than funds going into a large shared wallet and being "tainted" by all funds in there. It depends on how much volume is being transacted though.

In a scenario where funds are pooling in the mixer and no un-tainted coins can be found an email alert could be sent out to wallet users with suitable clean coins asking them to send the coins to the mixer (in which case they would earn the 1.5% fee instead of blockchain.info).

As Deepbit guessed 1Vay is banned from being included in wallet calculations due to high load.

Is creating multisigs still not available ?

No M-Of-N is not back yet.
