What surprised me the most was the sky high reward, $125 per week which is irregular and far beyond anything that I've seen for something that isn't a casino. The wording it uses to advertise the business is very "strategic" and aligns basically with what a mixer does. Just wondering if I'm completely off base here or what other people think?

Something is considered a mixer if it meets all of these requirements:
 1. It has a feature advertised for taking property, improving its privacy somehow, and then returning roughly the same type of property.
     a. Even though you can sometimes use non-mixers to mix coins by depositing and then withdrawing, this doesn't make it a mixer because this is an incidental use of the service; the service isn't advertised as privacy-enhancing.
     b. If a site is not primarily a mixer but has a mixer function, such as a mixer function on a gambling website, then the whole site is considered a mixer.
     c. If the site takes coins, gives you a possibly-transferrable IOU, and will convert this IOU back into mixed coins much later, then the temporary conversion into a different type of property does not prevent it from being considered a mixer.
     d. If the site internally converts your deposit into other things as part of its mixing, but ultimately the point of the product is to get your original type of property back, then that's a mixer, not an exchanger.
 2. It is possible for the mixer to steal property passing through it. Assume that the sender does everything as correctly as possible. Also assume that no miners/verifiers on the base-layer cryptocurrency are evil. But assume that every other actor involved is evil (everyone able to vote in a DAO, every coordination server, every counterparty, every member of a multisig, etc.). Ignore short-term software bugs which are expected to be quickly fixed.
 3. The service does not collect KYC-type info from all users. (This is not an endorsement of KYC generally, or a condemnation of non-KYC services generally. Non-KYC services of other types are still allowed, and in many cases they are a good idea.)

PM communication only

Cloudflare can read ~ any PMs you send or look at.

Cloudflare is very probably an NSA honeypot

1. You send Bitcoin, and get back Bitcoin.

Thanks for your feedback! Unlike mixers or swaps, this isn't about privacy or anonymization. It's simply a reliable solution for people whose BTC isn’t accepted by major exchanges. Clients specifically receive BTC from exchanges with a 100% licensed exchange rating (e.g., HTX, Binance), ensuring the assets are accepted everywhere.

Though you are right the service seems like a mixing service, but it's not. it's more like and exchange medium as stated on their Ann thread and the campaign manager Hhampuz knows better not to bring a mixer to the forum when it's ban has not been lifted.

Hhampuz is a very smart and intelligent manager and I'm sure he will not bring mixer to the forum knowing fully well is ban here in this forum.

I've sent Hhampuz a PM, and reported Orion Blake's topic.

It got classified as a mixer after users complained, which is totally fine. For the record I messaged theymos about launching this campaign a few days ago and would not have posted it without getting the green light on it.

No harm done!

You might want to visit the service thread, to quote a bit:

Doesn't it look like a bitcoin laundering facility?

I am sick and tired of this mixer ban thing.

I recently did a paid review for gamblr.io and you know what I noticed? They don’t even let you withdraw unless you submit your docs. They are not doing selective KYC. The requirement applies to every player. That’s the path we are walking now.

...

I see this a very interesting concept.. for a mixer. However, it's clearly a mixer since it breaks the link between inputs and outputs without being an exchange.

That's why I didn't report Hhampuz' topic. Even theymos makes mistakes sometimes.
