Is it possible that is simply comes down to one competitor trying to cause disruption to another? Even though that would seem the most ridiculous of explanations could that actually be the most plausible?
If your clearnet website has been under almost continuous DDoS then most probably the only beneficiaries from would be competitors. You have only recently launched your business and it has already been coming under sustained DDoS.
Why the hell have all mixers gone under DDoS attacks these days?
There must be a mixer grinch lurking about here.
I wouldn't point fingers at anyone including our competitors, even if that's the case it's still irelevant to us. We have the knowledge to deal with it without using 3rd parties and it seems that for now our DDoS protection works very well. After the latest updates we didn't experience any more downtime.
Besides, when it comes to our competitors DDoS is the least of my concerns, there are more important issues that might affect trust in our service too since people might think Whirlwind is run in a similar way. I don't want to sound harsh but I'd be more interested to find out explanations to the following concerns which IMO are valid:
1.Jambler.io based mixers: Why would anyone trust you since you basically only act as an intermediary? If you don't have the ability to create the service yourself I don't see a possibility where you're competent enough to run it safely. This is not a Wendy's franchise
2.Jambler.io respresentative himself made some interesting statements:
Then mocacinno asks why do you use Clouflare? And you answer like it is the first time you hear that using Cloudflare you share traffic with a third party. How come?
This once again proves that Jambler.io is a team of ordinary people;) We know the architecture of cloudflare, and as it was mentioned above, we will refuse to use it in the nearest future. We are grateful to users for their comments which help us to improve the platform.
Almost 5 years later Cloudflare is still there, same for their partner services. So if Jambler.io partnered services are ordinary people that don't even need to know how to code, Jambler.io themselves are ordinary people, is there anyone that actually knows what he's doing? This is a legitimate question
3.Mixing codes?
It's been repeatedly stated by multiple competitors that mixing codes can't link your transactions and they don't involve storing any logs. How does that work? Is it possible to
mark certain coins so they are not later sent to the same depositor,
without knowing exactly which coins those are? I don't think so but you could easily prove me wrong if that's not the case.
A very small suggestion
To add a <Meta description> to the header.
And maybe to improve the <Meta title>? Something like Whirlwind.money Optional Fee 0%-4% Bitcoin Mixer Ultimate Privacy
There are too many folks coming to mixers from search engines, so I would say there is a lot of money to grab from it.
And seeing the number of scams ranking in google, I think it's correct.
Doing it will give more exposure to Whirlwind in the SERP. Actually Google thinks the website is about Please wait 0 seconds... DDoS Protection, not about a mixer.
Thank you for the suggestion, will look into it.
Currently we are focusing on improving the usability of the platform since we solved most of the stability issues. Some new features were also added to the backlog, I'll give more details when I respond to the review campaign suggestions that were not implemented yet.
