Threat model · No softening

Security & privacy.

What the service actually does — what is stored, for how long, what is never collected — and the scenarios on-chain mixing alone doesn't address.

What we don't collect

No accounts. No identity. No tracking.

There's no signup, no profile, no questionnaire. The only required input is a Bitcoin receiving address.

No KYC documents

No ID, passport, or proof of address ever requested.

No email or phone

No account system at all. Nothing to fill in.

No IP logging

Connections aren't logged at the application layer.

No third-party trackers

No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no ad tags.

Log retention

24 hours, then deleted.

Operational records associated with a transaction are kept for no longer than 24 hours after completion. The window exists for one practical reason: if a user contacts support, the operator needs the relevant identifiers to respond.

Past that window, the data is no longer useful and is removed.

# During active mix deposit_address → stored receiving_addresses → stored split_config → stored delay_setting → stored transaction_id → stored # After completion retention_window = 24 hours # After 24h all_records → deleted ip_addresses → never logged

Network privacy

Reachable over Tor.

CoinJoin obscures the link between addresses on the Bitcoin chain, but it doesn't hide where your connection to the service originates. For network-level privacy, use the dedicated .onion hidden service.

Verify the current Tor address on the official site directly — phishing clones of mixer onion services are common.

Two layers of privacy

On-chain: CoinJoin breaks the deterministic link between input and output.

Network: Tor hides your IP from the mixer's domain and any intermediaries.

Using both addresses two different categories of the threat model.

Honest threat model

What we protect against, and what we don't.

Privacy claims in this category tend to be overstated. Here's the picture without softening.

✓ What the service addresses

  • Passive chain observers. A reader of the public Bitcoin blockchain can't reliably link your receiving address to your sending address through the CoinJoin transaction itself.
  • Standard chain analysis heuristics. Common-input ownership, change address identification, and simple value matching are degraded by the joint transaction structure.
  • Long-term records. The deposit-to-output mapping isn't retained past 24 hours. A subpoena served after that targets data that no longer exists.

⚠ What we don't address

  • Coercive access to live state. During the active window, the operator holds the deposit↔receiving mapping. Wallet-based CoinJoin doesn't have this exposure.
  • Network-level identification. Without Tor, your IP is visible to your ISP and intermediaries connecting to the mixer.
  • Sender or recipient mistakes. Pre-mix history follows the coins; post-mix consolidation with non-mixed coins reintroduces links.

Operational hygiene

Mixing is most effective as one layer.

Practices that materially improve the privacy outcome.

Connect via Tor

Use the .onion address whenever possible. Removes a whole category of network-layer identification.

Fresh receiving wallet

Use addresses in a wallet separate from the one you deposited from. A freshly generated wallet is cleanest.

Don't consolidate

Avoid mixing mixed outputs with non-mixed coins in subsequent transactions. Treat them as separate UTXOs.

Split large amounts

For larger sums, prefer several smaller mixes spread over time to one large mix. Stronger privacy at modest extra cost.

Consider delays

Delayed mixing at busier times captures larger anonymity sets. Trade-off is a few hours of waiting.

Output splitting

Split deliveries across multiple receiving addresses with custom percentages. Reduces value-based correlation.

Legal note

Mixing legality varies by jurisdiction.

Several enforcement actions in 2022–2024 (Tornado Cash, Samourai Wallet) have changed the legal landscape significantly. Anyone considering a mixer should understand the rules where they live and to the funds in question. This site does not provide legal advice.

Privacy without overstatement.

No KYC, no IP logs, 24h retention. Use Whir with Tor for the strongest setup.
