Let me explain why.
Is this the real reason, or is there some pressure from government(s) to close the service, or even keep records of transactions?
I didn't expect this, especially since I've seen Bitmixer's sig campaign up to the last second.

From your own site:

Are you guys now targeted by the law enforcement authorities or is it just your opinion?
My thoughs exactly!

I am almost certain that this is government pressure, but you obviously can't admit to that for the same reason.
All the more reason for new mixers to remain anonymous. That makes it harder to trust a site, but if the mixer is completely anonymous, they can't be targeted.

It is important that you understand my position. I really revised my view about Bitcoin as a transparent system. Bitcoin has no future with drug/weapon traffic or any other illegal activity. This is my point.
So you're saying you care so much for Bitcoin, you're willing to close your business? That's cute Cheesy
Everything on earth is used for illegal purposes, whether it's Bitcoin or dollars, guns or cars. Closing your mixer is not going to change that.

Hi all!
Despite the huge profit we earn, we are closing our activity. Let me explain why.

Be honest:

What logs have you kept, for how long and with what countries law enforcement do you cooperate?
If that would be the reason, they wouldn't close their business.

Note: I've never used BitMixer so I won't miss it's services. One of the reasons for not using it is that the coins I get back are most likely from someone who's trying to hide worse things than me Tongue
