Anonymixer — Questions and Answers
Direct answers to the questions users actually ask. Where a longer explanation exists on another page, we link to it instead of repeating ourselves.
General
What is Anonymixer?
Anonymixer is a non-custodial bitcoin mixer that breaks the on-chain link between a deposit address and a withdrawal address. It does so with three primitives: a shared liquidity pool, an adjustable time delay, and a randomized fee component that introduces amount-noise so withdrawals never match deposits exactly.
Is Anonymixer custodial?
No. Coins enter a shared pool, not a wallet attached to the user. The withdrawal is paid from the pool to addresses you control. There is no account, no KYC, and no requirement to connect a wallet.
What problem does Anonymixer solve?
The Bitcoin ledger is public. Anyone with a chain-analysis tool can connect addresses and infer behavior. Anonymixer interrupts that inference by producing a withdrawal that does not derive from your deposit. It does not make you anonymous — it makes the on-chain trail discontinuous.
Fees and timing
How much does Anonymixer cost?
The base fee starts at 0.7% of the deposit, plus the network fee for the outgoing transaction. A small randomized component is added so the withdrawal amount does not match the deposit exactly — that single feature defeats one of the most common chain-analysis heuristics.
How long does a mix take?
The clock starts after one network confirmation on your deposit. The withdrawal is then scheduled inside the delay window you chose, between one and seventy-two hours. Most users pick four to twelve hours; users seeking the deepest anonymity set choose the maximum.
Can I rush a mix?
You can pick the shortest delay, one hour, and that is the floor. Going faster than that would defeat the protocol's main privacy mechanism, so Anonymixer does not offer an instant option by design.
Amounts and limits
What is the minimum deposit?
The minimum is set above the network dust limit so that withdrawals remain economical after on-chain fees. The exact figure is shown live on the dashboard because it shifts with fee market conditions.
What is the maximum deposit?
The maximum is bounded by current pool depth. The dashboard shows the largest deposit the pool can comfortably absorb without temporarily skewing the anonymity set. For very large mixes, splitting across two or three sessions over a day is the usual recommendation.
Can I split a withdrawal across multiple wallets?
Yes. Anonymixer supports up to five output addresses per mix, with custom percentage allocations. Splitting fragments the downstream cluster and is one of the most effective post-mix habits a user can adopt.
Security and privacy
Does Anonymixer keep logs?
No persistent logs are retained that would map a deposit to a withdrawal. IP addresses are dropped at the edge proxy before requests reach the application layer. Transient processing data is held only in RAM and discarded once the mix completes. The signed letter of guarantee is the only artifact that persists.
What is the letter of guarantee?
A PGP-signed statement issued before you deposit. It records the deposit address Anonymixer generated, your chosen output addresses, the agreed fee, and the delay window. The signature is verifiable against the published key. It is the only piece of cryptographic proof a non-custodial mixer can offer, and Anonymixer issues it on every mix.
Can I use Anonymixer over Tor?
Yes. The onion mirror has full feature parity with the clearnet site. The deposit flow does not require Javascript. We recommend Tor for users who want to combine the privacy gain of the mix with network-layer privacy as well.
What does Anonymixer not protect against?
It does not protect against user-side mistakes: address reuse, sending the mixed coins to the same KYC exchange you sourced them from, or consolidating fragmented outputs back into a single transaction. The mixing guide covers those habits explicitly.
