People are constantly running the mixer. That's all. Only A couple of weeks ago, Evan made it so that, if you're available for mixing, and you run liquidityprovider=1 in your conf file, you won't mix unless someone needs you to. That is, you won't start mixing sessions, just join them. This way, we don't sit around mixing with each other, and unnecessarily bloat the block chain. But there are at least 6 people running liquidity providers according to the proposal that was approved, and that should give plenty of deviation so that mixes should be very good. Plus there are others who just do it to be helpful. Always do at least 2, better >5

Hadn't seen that, should make things much smoother. Giving it a go now, lol, 99999 rounds will take a while
OH, if you're going to run one, make a lot of backups, because you'll go through addresses pretty fast. There was a way to create a bunch of addresses (instead of the usual 1000) that would keep you going for a while (with a backup copy) When you do "getinfo" you'll see how big your "keypoolsize" is You really need to back up the wallet.dat a lot, or else increase the keypool size: I think I did it like so on a brand new wallet (open without a wallet.dat in folder:
dash-qt -keypool=20000
It'll take a while to load, then when its loaded, give it an Encryption password and save a copy on several flash drives (you know, regular safety).
Now it'll take a while before you need to make another backup. But you still have to check how many keys you have left every once in a while. I'm going through a bit less than 150 addresses a day with liquidityprovider=1 which should be the fastest / most often use of my wallet. But if it becomes popular to mix all of a sudden, the keys could be used up quickly. So it's important to keep an eye on it. You don't want your hard drive crashing on you without a back up
Sorry for being worrisome Mommy. I just get that way. Better to say it than not ;P
