Hello dear smartmixer team I am new to mixing because I didnt know that such service exist. I like your vision about privacy and I am convinced that many people should use such service. But arent there criminals who use your service also to hide their identity? If so, is it possible to receive coins from criminals?
Hello Kinkadeinspired, thank you for the comment.
As we do not keep any logs of our users, we cannot determine the origin of the coins which go through our system. Thats why we cannot rule out that persons abusively use SmartMixer. It may be possible that you receive portions of these funds. But there is nothing to worry about because there is one word that will eliminate your concerns: Fungibility.
Fungible assets are assets which can be interchanged with assets of like kind, meaning fungible assets are identical specifications with exact the same value. In the same time, fungibility protects you from the possibility that the police investigates you, if this asset was used in a crime before. Why? Because, if you own a fraction of the criminal money, then its near to impossible to determine if you were involved in this crime or not. This means, even if you receive assets from previous abusive activities, you will never be held responsible.
However, if you still definitely want to avoid to receive money from criminal activities for whatever reasons, you can use our Stealth Pool, which includes only funds from our reserves and our investors. Meaning it is guaranteed that you receive coins without criminal activities.
