I wouldn't need to use it for gambling directly. I could use it to rebalance funds between wallets that I use for gambling, without paying 2% for a mixer.
Most custodial service such as CoinBase set high transaction fees when you withdraw Bitcoin from their services to ensure the transaction confirmed quickly.
You could use CoinJoin feature provided by Wasabi Wallet if you're concered about fees, while preserve your privacy altogether.
This is not true. Coinbase's miner fees are often too low to get a quick confirmation.
It's been long time since i used Coinbase and i used to hear complain about Coinbase set excessive fees for transaction fees and the fact they're not batching their coins, guess things changed.
2% is orders of magnitude higher than miner fees tho unless you're buying coffee. I could afford it, but 2% feels like overpaying.
Fair point, but how else mixer operator survives? Cost to remain anonymous (for both user and operator) could be expensive.
If I use Wasabi coinjoin I get directly linked to one particular rando who might have dirty coins, which is not as good as getting clean coins from coinbase.
It's true in sense that everyone's coins got tainted by someone's coins, but there's far better guarantee for your anonymity.
