SmartMixer introduces an innovative approach to complete anonymity in cryptocurrency transactions
Note: This a paid post, and should not be treated as news/advice.
Cryptocurrencies, and indeed the whole idea of the blockchain came riding on the advantage of the anonymity of transactions, defiance to authority, lack of centralization and overseer authority among other advantages.
Over time, however, and with increased government scrutiny and unwanted invasion by phishers, users now realize, rather sadly, that the cryptocurrency world is not as anonymous as most of them were led to believe.
The lack of anonymity notwithstanding, a tech startup called SmartMixer is changing all this and giving back cryptocurrency enthusiasts their security and privacy. The start-up is announcing its cryptocurrency mixing platform that obscures your cryptocurrency transactions, making it hard for anyone to trace your dealings.
Overview of the SmartMixer Platform
Ever since its invention, cryptocurrency has proven to be the easiest and most convenient means of transferring value. It rode to popularity on the back of the assumptions that it is anonymous. Users are realizing, rather sadly, that crypto is not wholly anonymous and only pseudonymous.
The said lack of anonymity means that many cryptocurrency transactions can expose people on either end of the transaction and make them targets of fraud and online phishing.
The brains behind the SmartMixer want to bring back security by allowing users to pay from anonymous cryptocurrency addresses, the kind that cannot be associated with the platform user.
In essence, the platform is a cryptocurrency mixing service, also called a tumbler. It allows cryptocurrency users to undertake their transactions while in complete anonymity. Users pour their coins into reservoirs where they get mixed with other coins. The resulting amount into the address a customer provides are clean untraceable crypto.
SmartMixer ensures that online prowlers cannot connect your old and new wallets to any of your transactions, or to you, for that matter.
The Current Cryptocurrency Transaction Problems that the SmartMixer Seeks to Solve
Sending Money – Users that send money to acquaintances or make payments to online vendors using crypto are all exposed if they make these transactions without exercising precaution. The recipient has information that can connect him or her to the sender’s wallet. Once in, he or she can check the balance, monitor transactions and even check the wallet balance.
Online Goods and Service Purchases – online vendors often prompt their customers to provide an address [if they are to do a doorstep deliveries]. Using such information, a vendor can easily link a customer to his or her transaction and to other essential yet private information.
Holding cryptocurrencies in otherwise restrictive territories – a country like China restricts its nationals from holding or trading in cryptocurrencies. This fact is exceedingly limiting considering the evident potential of Bitcoin and other altcoins. Any Chinese national can now create a new wallet, and use the SmartMixer to send coins to the said account, well away from government snooping and interference.

According to the legend on the service’s site, the longest the logs will remain active is 24 hours and only if the transaction the logs are supporting has not been completed. Otherwise, they will be deleted soon after the transaction goes through. Alternatively, users have the option of deleting the logs just as well.
