Re: [ANN] ChipMixer.com - Bitcoin mixer / Bitcoin tumbler - mixing reinvented
Implying that a mixer is bad because it's used by high-profile criminals is counter-intuitive. If anything, you probably want to use the best privacy tools, even though you have different goals, that also high-profile 'wanted' people, such as criminals or persecuted individuals use.
Sorry, I think you misunderstood this point. I wasn't stating that the mixer is bad because major criminals use it. I was drawing a comparison between Tornado Cash and ChipMixer, pointing out that the same echelon of major criminals use both, yet only one is being crucified.Quote
ChipMixer has been used by several high-profile criminals, such as the Ronin bridge hackers (from North Korea!) & the Binance hackers.
(With all due respect, I was warned that by posting this thread I would be, and I quote, "mobbed by the DT circle jerk," so that combined with your obvious financial interest in defending ChipMixer leave me unsurprised by this collective response.)
Was this comment made on Twitter? Because whenever I check Twitter, I am remembered how much more civil, helpful and knowledgeable the Bitcoin community on Bitcointalk actually is. The forum format and reputation system obviously helps to find and differentiate good content from poor content. The tone can be harsh sometimes, but sometimes the truth is harsh, so there's that.Also, not everybody is the same. Some people may 'mob' you (thick skin!
), others won't - this has nothing to do with Default Trust.ChipMixer's response has been weak as well, which further reinforces my belief in the theory, not that there was much doubt in my mind.
What could they say to make you think otherwise, though? It's neither possible to prove for anyone here that you or I are or are not state actors, either, right?
