Modern methods of tracking blockchain transactions are based on various algorithms, such as the quantitative and cluster analysis. These mathematical mechanisms are used by services to track blockchain transactions and de-anonymize crypto holders. Our bitcoin mixer is based on unique algorithms that protect clients from the risks associated with getting tainted bitcoins. We provide our clients with coins that are recognized as clean by all exchanges.
How cluster analysis works
By analyzing millions of transaction records and identifying common patterns, advanced algorithms can detect the owners of crypto wallets.
Cluster analysis is based on grouping blockchain addresses that belong to the same owner. To determine whether transactions belong to one wallet, the multi-input and one-time-change heuristics are used.
The multi-input heuristic groups addresses that are used as multiple inputs to one transaction. Since multiple addresses provide assets for one transaction and have access to each other’s private keys, it is safe to assume that all the addresses belong to a single user.
However, there are methods that help to obfuscate the input of multiple users in a single transaction in order to anonymize the transaction. They make it more difficult to analyze the distribution of assets within the group. In this case, the one-time-change heuristic is used.
There can be multiple inputs and outputs for each blockchain transaction. The inputs of a new transaction refer to the outputs of an earlier transaction and provide information for transferring funds. According to blockchain rules, the sum of all inputs for the current transaction must be used by its outputs. The difference between the two sums is the miner’s fee. This is why a new output address is usually generated for the sender to receive the change. Using the one-time-change heuristic, analysis algorithms identify such addresses and add them to the user’s cluster. As a result, the crypto holder is de-anonymized.
How Mixer.Money helps to obfuscate assets for cluster analysis
To prevent our service from being identified as a mixer and to anonymize customer transactions, a series of organizational and operational measures have been taken.
Large transactions are relatively rare and can attract unnecessary attention. That is why there is a maximum transaction limit of 50 BTC for both customers and investors.
Additional protection is offered by the ‘Complete Anonymity’ mode.
Unlike traditional mixing modes, it returns coins to the user from a wallet that can never be traced to the one where the user had deposited the coins. This not only obfuscates the entire transaction chain for analysis algorithms, but also guarantees that customers receive untainted coins provided by exchanges.
How Mixer.Money protects customers from quantitative analysis
The method is based on calculating the amount of input and output transactions and the time of their performance. If the figures are roughly the same, the transaction is considered to have been made by a single person. This is an important factor in de-anonymization and transaction chain analysis.
To counteract the quantitative analysis, the mixer sends coins to two addresses, splitting the payment into two parts randomly and assigning a random fee in the range of 4-5%, aiming to send the exact sum of the customer’s assets without change.
Coins are returned to the customer in random payments within 6 hours to avoid time clustering.
