We share 50% of our income if mixing order created with using your referral link.
It means, if I used my own referral link such as my own address (in registered) to a mixer, I can't get the commission, right?
So how do you know if someone cheats it by sending it to another address first before mixing it?
A unique identifier should make you anonymous too. It would be a bad thing if somebody links your address from your shortened link and identify your forum/personal name, or whatever personal data you used for your short link. A random string is better IMO. Sure you will share it on the forum/internet anyway but there is still an additional layer of privacy if you use a randomized string instead of a username/something similar.
Right now I try used short links for just to easy remembered it, I guess it does not show up my privacy if I shared it to my Instagram and Twitter
