Also I’m already the second one here that forgot to download private key when mixing since this is not the norm on mixing. Is it possible to have a simple mixing process just like before that doesn’t need to deposit the balance on note so that we can mix directly without going to the dashboard to mix. I have a plan to use the note for anonymity mining but not using the current funds.
Saving the private key may not be the norm, at least on Bitcoin, because no other service works in the same way. We certainly do not see this as a valid argument for why it would be a good idea to adhere to the current 'norm'. If we were to go down that route then Whirlwind wouldn't be what it is today, and we would simply be just another 'traditional mixer'. Considering we believe those systems are fundamentally flawed and that's the sole reason why Whirlwind even exists, it would be quite hypocritical from our side to back down right now just because 2 users didn't properly read the many warnings displayed on the website. Only at the first step there are 3 warnings displayed, let alone the FAQ:
1. The first step is named 'Generate and Save Note Private Key'
2. Immediately after you click 'Generate' you see this text under the Private Key: Save this note someplace safe. | Losing this note means losing access to your deposited funds.
3. If you hover over the 'info' button you will read this: IMPORTANT! | Make sure you store your Note properly, it is a private key and therefore support can't help if you lose it.
It would be possible to introduce the 'Fast' mode again, but that wouldn't make much sense because as soon as we transition to the zk-SNARK based Note system we would have to scrape it again, and that would only add more confusion.
I understand that you are trying to break the norm and become unique to the existing mixers. I’m trying to convey here that users will commit same mistakes because this procedure new. Typically, Guarantee Letter is the most important thing to save when mixing for a person that use other mixer.
The second step includes the Guarantee Letter which makes user feel comfortable to deposit immediately even though they forgot to copy private key on the first step. Also please make the note/warning in color red to make it easier to notice.
In my case, I use your mixer when the fast mode option is available. I’m not aware on this note transition because I’m not following discussion here.
This mistake is purely on my side. I’m not trying to blame the service here. I’m only sharing what makes me cause this mistake aside from not reading thoroughly. I hope that I can receive reply on email. Thank you.
