But the thing I was talking about was the success rate. People are going to copy you only when they see that you become popular. People trying to copy you means you have some popularity. But I hope the number of phishing/clones reduce and people do not get scammed.
It is not about popularity it is all about Bitcoin, scammers will do anything to get satoshis. They use such cloning techniques for everything that deals with Bitcoin. It is not possible to stop them, a user of a mixer or an exchange should double-check the DNS address before proceeding. We are in 2024 and we are still seeing people falling for such scams. I have not seen any clone of Thormixer if anyone does find then report it to the team.
Sorry but you are wrong and Learn Bitcoin is right actually, it is true that it's all about scammers trying to get some Satoshis, and will do anything for it, but then, also understand that scammers are very sensible people, they don't just go about cloning whatever product or service they find out there, they take their time to search for ones people are using the most, or most interested in, then they clone that service or product and then try to divert some of the users of that service or product to their own clone/phishing scam.
From what I've read on this board, there are actually some Thormixer clone flying around, scammers can never clone a service or product people rarely use or are interested in, because it will be to their loss, as they will hardly find victims.
