Nevertheless, staff were asked to stop advertising mixing services. We are promoting mixing services. Will it be an issue for bitcointalk forum in general? What about the people advertising the mixer? Would it be better to quit advertising mixer services? I was thinking about this ever since I have seen OmegaStarScream's quoted post. Is it time to think about this?
I respect any decision announced or implemented by Theymos; this forum administrator has a long-term view of whether or not what might expose him or his staff teams to legal accountability; he applied this decision to the staff and not to all forum users. After Chipmixer was closed due to irregularities and legal crimes by the U.S and European authorities, and before that, it already had a signature campaign here in the forum, and it was closed after years of promotion; this is what made most people take a bad impression of mixers, but I see that the good side of mixers is that it gives users the benefits of privacy, security and complete anonymity. It is also an excellent service for those who deal in crypto in countries that ban cryptocurrencies and do not want to be pursued by governments and others. I know that criminals, outlaws, hackers, and those who deal with money laundering may also use them, but in my opinion, whoever misuses these mixers is supposed to be punished, not those who promote them.
