I tested it a while back, but it was quite labour intensive to work with.

Please give it another try. They've made it easier. It's a good world to get into.

If you don't like the sound of using any software, then ProtonMail provide free email accounts where you can get a PGP enabled email address by default.

Given my position, good OPSEC is paramount I'm afraid. I can understand why other Mixers may have been reluctant to share their addresses in the past. I'm going out on a limb trusting someone who I don't know as it is. What I can't do is send that kind of information in clear text on this forum in a private message where the admins of this site can also see it and where it gets stored forever in their database.

I've seen several mixers that claimed to own 2000+ BTC, but wouldn't prove ownership of anything. If they'd really own that much, I think they're much less likely to run away with 1% of that.

We can't speak for other people's situations or finances. But personally, if we had a spare 2000+ BTC lying around ($23,170,000), we probably wouldn't have spent time building a mixer in the first place.

Further, we wouldn't stick that 2000+ BTC in hot-wallets that are permanently connected to the internet, ready to send Bitcoin at the drop of a hat.

One can advertise to "mix" by simply taking BTC into a wallet, then transferring it out, minus fee, which would not fool even the simplest analysis software.

If the Mixer does other stuff behind the scenes, for instance sending your money to a Bitcoin Exchange to get alternative Coins back out, or converting to and from another crypto-currency. That's all cool, whilst the exchange doesn't freeze their account mid-mix, asking for "proof of funds" or the external service they rely on isn't exit scamming or has stopped working for whatever reason.

When Dark Web Markets exit scam, they take lots of user's money with them as users store their money in the Market's custodial Wallets (Not your keys, not your coins).

A Mixer doesn't hang on to people's money, a mixer only has "in-flight" trades going on. The best a Mixer could get away with is the last few trades before alarm bells start ringing with people posting complaints in public places.

If we fail to fulfill our obligations set out in a Letter Of Guarantee just once and it becomes publicly known and posted, that's it - we're no longer trusted and the mixer is over.

I've spent over a year and a half building Anonymixer so far, running off with 0.1 BTC kind of wouldn't be worth it.
