Actually this is not true. The FBI and other government agencies can track down your address at will, provided that they were on an exchange at some point. (That is how the 2020 Twitter scammers got caught and arrested).

If you want ultimate privacy, you should be looking at Monero and other Cryptonote coins with Ring confidential transactions (which are actually used by darknets, not to mention legit users).

I actually make more money off of my job as a cryptonote coin dev than wearing this sig, but I'm pretty sure you aren't going to be bashing me about that, are you (which is arguably, from your point of view, much more reprehensible than wearing a chipmixer sig).

Yes, that's what I meant, It's only a visible option for government agencies like the FBI to track you down.
...

You left out people / corporations with a lot of time and money and resources.

NotATether is correct if you want real privacy there are other / better ways of doing it. I have posted in the past that there are better ways of getting your privacy then mixers. But, they are time consuming, require a lot more work and time and knowledge on your part and have larger risks of loosing your coins. And not for people who don't understand crypto.

As for why to use it some people like privacy some people like anonymity I even started a thread about it last week.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5366195 that is why mixers exist.

Or, let's combine a casinos signature campaign with this one. There are many countries where BTC is fine but online gambling even if not illegal is frowned upon.
So, you can click on OGs signature and play for a while, and then withdraw. Now, do you want to have your BTC shown to be from someplace where it's really nor supposed to be from, or some generic coins.

Could go on and on with other reasons.

Disclosure for the future at the time of posting I am wearing the CM sig
Disclosure #2 for the future, there are at least 2 posters above me in this thread who know who I am / have my address so my privacy / anonymity is gone. Does not mean I don't think others should not have theirs.
