oh blackhatcoiner. missing the point
if you dont want businesses keeping tabs on you. and by that i mean risking then being on a government list.. you simply stop using things that wave a large neon red flag saying please look closer at me, please share what data you gather before a mixer and after a mixer with other businesses because im doing something that is by regulation deemed suspicious
you keep pretending that there is no policy to watch those entering and exiting mixers more carefully... but there is
thus when they find details about you when you get bitcoin and buy things .. which go to a mixer
but then after the mixer you do other things that note details about you..
it doesnt matter that you think you mixed it in the middle. they find you out by joining the two ends together. making the utility of mixing in the middle redundant as a feature. becasue the simple use of a mixer makes them fid the two ends of the ins and outs of your transactions
they put the two together and join up the two activities even if they cant link in the mixer middle initially.
you keep thinking that if you break the connect in the middle you become lost. but forget that the start and ends can be found
in short your thinking is
> >>> >
if you bread the red connect your safe
reality is:
> >>> >
becasue they see the blues are linked to a red on each side. they are watching both the blues
they simply find the two ends and work out the middle. becasue the middle is what triggered them to look at the two ends
its because of the mixer in the middle that they are looking at the first and last parts.
they find you by the beginning and end parts.. because the middle part caused them to highlight each part.
example:
if they honeypot trap you by running lots of DEX traders to get your bank name linked to a bitcoin address
and thats seen going to a mixer. boom. your on a watch list
then after the mixer you do things like buy giftcards delivered to emails or home addresses they know of you. the giftcard merchant gets told to flag you becasue your names on a list.
where as someone that didnt use a mixer is not on a list where they are spending the extra time to look at you to try to find links
the sillier part is that you blackhatter have actually been giving out examples of how mixers work. revealing the allotment amounts that mixers use thus making it easier for those scoping the blockchain to recognise mixer transactions. thus flag coins that go in and coins that come out. thus also making it easier to put peoples movements onto watch lists.
heres the thing
regulators learned which coins got deposited into things like silk road. after seizing silkroad they learned some usernames and delivery addresses of its users. and sellers
then coins on the outs of a mixer. if they find similar usernames, addresses. they join them together
(same with the bitfinex hack)
all because those coins going in and coins coming out had been highlighted for extra scrutiny.
