Frequently asked questions

Short, straight answers to the questions people ask most about Cryptomixer and crypto mixing in general.

Deposit, mix in the reserve, wait, then withdraw — the mixing cycle in four moves.
Is using Cryptomixer legal?

Financial privacy tools are lawful in many countries, but the rules vary widely and using any service to launder criminal proceeds is not. Read the laws that apply where you live before using Cryptomixer.

Does Cryptomixer make me completely anonymous?

No. Cryptomixer breaks the direct link between your old and new coins, but mistakes like reusing addresses, round-number amounts or instant withdrawals can rebuild it. Privacy depends on your habits too.

What is the Cryptomixer reserve?

The reserve is the pool of coins the service already holds. Your payout is drawn from it, so you receive funds unrelated to your deposit — that swap is what severs the on-chain trail.

What is a letter of guarantee?

It is a signed statement Cryptomixer issues when you deposit, tying its promise to your specific request. Save it offline; it is your verifiable proof that the mix was accepted.

Why should I set a time delay?

A withdrawal that lands right after a deposit is easy to pair by timing. A delay lets other deposits move through the reserve in between, so the two ends can't be matched.

Should I split my payout across addresses?

Yes, where you can. Spreading the payout across several fresh addresses avoids recreating one tell-tale amount that stands out on the chain.

Can exchanges flag mixed coins?

Some exchanges run chain-analysis and may question deposits that recently passed through a mixer. Keeping mixed coins away from KYC platforms reduces that friction.

How is Cryptomixer different from CoinJoin?

CoinJoin never takes custody and builds one transaction with equal outputs. Cryptomixer briefly holds your coins but pays you unrelated ones and issues a guarantee. See the comparison page for the trade-offs.

How much does mixing cost?

Cryptomixer charges a small service fee, sometimes randomised so it doesn't become a fingerprint. Treat a zero-fee service as a warning sign rather than a bargain, since running a real reserve costs money.

How long does a mix take?

It depends on the delay you choose and on network confirmations, so a mix is never instant. The wait is deliberate: it is part of what stops your deposit and withdrawal from being paired by timing.

What if something goes wrong with my mix?

This is exactly what the letter of guarantee is for. Because it is signed and issued before your payout, you can present it as proof of your request if you ever need to follow up.
