Thromixer.io Review
I got the opportunity to review Thormixer a few days ago and today I finally got some free time so I decided to test the platform and write my honest feedback about it. This review is going to be helpful for those people who want to use this mixer.
User Interface/Web Design of Thormixer
I have visited the Thormixer via Tor browser and all of the tests were done on the Tor mirror or Onion URL of the Thormixer. The web design of this mixer is very unique and simplistic. I like the design of the webpage a lot because it reminds me of Thor when I visit this mixer.
The design of the site is simple, all of the elements on the webpage are useful ones and anyone who has used a mixer before can easily use this mixer without any difficulty. So far I have noticed no delays or slow downs on the Tor version of the Thormixer. I would rate the webpage loading and user interface of the mixer 9.5/10 and I hope in few days we may see some improvements in it.
Modes of Mixing Available
Thormixer comes with two modes of mixing, 1st mode is "complete anonymity" while the 2nd one is "complete anonymity + precise payment." The "complete anonymity" mode has minimum deposit requirement of 0.003 BTC while the "complete anonymity + precise payment" has minimum deposit requirement of 0.005 BTC.
Complete Anonymity
Complete Anonymity + Precise Payment The mixing fee of both modes is same and duration of mixing is also same for both modes. In my mixing test I went with the first mode as it has minimum requirement of just 0.003 BTC as compare to 0.005 BTC.
Mixing Process
To test the mixing process of the Thormixer I first visited their Tor mirror, the page loaded within seconds. I have selected complete anonymity mode of the mixer for this review and entered my first and second Bitcoin wallet address and then I clicked on "Start Mix Bitcoins" button to initiate the mixing process.
After clicking that button I was taken to another page within a second where I got Letter of Guarantee which I downloaded on my computer. Thormixer also generated a Bitcoin wallet address for the mixing process and I sent almost 0.0032 Bitcoin to that address to test the mixer. Although, the minimum requirement was 0.0030 BTC but I sent 0.0032 BTC for the test.
I have selected the transaction fee and set it a little bit more than the high priority transaction fee of mempool. At that time mempool's high priority transaction fee was around 30 sat/vB but I set the transaction fee at 33.1 sat/vB for fast transaction. Within few minutes the transaction was confirmed. After that I had to wait a few hours to see the results of the mixing.
The mixing of the coins was completed within 6 hours, I received mixed coins on my first address a few hours earlier. And within 6 hours I received mixed coins on both of my addresses. During this time, I was unable to see any progress on the mixer's page and the mixing was completed in background.
After the mixing was done I checked the mixed coins to see that do those coins have any relation to the coins that I sent or not. The mixed coins were totally different from the coins that I sent. I believe the mixer has done what it promised.
My Suggestions for Thormixer Team
I have noticed the fees of Thormixer were somewhat high for the mixing process and I wasn't able to set the mixing fee myself. So my 1st suggestion to Thormixer team is to add the feature of manual fee setting by the user for the mixing.
My 2nd suggestion to Thormixer team is to improve the site's UI a little bit more so a user who is mixing the coins could get estimated timing and the remaining time of the mixing. That would help the user to know that how long the mixer took to complete the mixing process.
Conclusion
ThorMixer is a quite good and reliable mixer, the features that it offers are quite good and it's mixing process is quite good. I was unable to trace any relation of mixed coins with my own coins so the mixer delivered what it promised. Overall, my experience with this mixer was really good.
