1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:08,870
OK so now that we understand what mixers are and why we might want to use them in this lecture I want

2
00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:16,010
to show you how to actually use one to break the connection between transactions and use bitcoin in

3
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:18,350
a more anonymous manner.

4
00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:20,690
I'm going to use a mixer called Mixed them.

5
00:00:20,690 --> 00:00:25,070
In this example but using these mixers is pretty much the same.

6
00:00:25,070 --> 00:00:32,450
So by the end of this lecture you should be able to apply this knowledge to use any mixer you want.

7
00:00:32,450 --> 00:00:38,990
So we're going to click on mix my coins to start mixing and as you can see right now it's asking us

8
00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:42,560
for the address that will receive the payments.

9
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,900
So this is the address of the second wallet of this wallet right here.

10
00:00:47,150 --> 00:00:52,610
And this is an extra option that we have here and mixed them where we can actually add another address.

11
00:00:52,610 --> 00:00:55,730
So we receive the coins in two different addresses.

12
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,410
Again making it even more difficult to track what I'm just going to use one address.

13
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:04,990
So I'm sending coins to this wallet as you can see the balance is zero.

14
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,510
And in order to receive coins in here as shown before we go to the received tab and we cope with the

15
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:22,240
address here I'm going to paste it and send it as you can see right now it's telling us that we should

16
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,400
send the money to this address.

17
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,200
Now this is the address of mixed home the address of the mixer.

18
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,610
So what we're doing right here.

19
00:01:30,610 --> 00:01:33,750
This is the address of this right here.

20
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:40,810
And what we're going to do is we're going to transfer money from our first wallet to the mixer and then

21
00:01:40,930 --> 00:01:48,070
the mixer will do its magic mix in our coins and finally forward the coins to the address that we already

22
00:01:48,070 --> 00:01:50,990
gave it the address of the first wallet.

23
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:58,920
So what I need to do right now is copy this and go to the wallet that I want to send money from which

24
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,350
is this wallet right here.

25
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:04,360
As you can see the balance is to micro bitcoins.

26
00:02:04,470 --> 00:02:06,280
We're going to go on send.

27
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:10,800
We're going to set the pay to address to the address of the mixer.

28
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,950
You can set a description.

29
00:02:11,970 --> 00:02:13,410
It doesn't really matter.

30
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,780
I'm going to send the maximum possible amount and I'm going to keep the feed the same.

31
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:23,150
Now you want to keep in mind you send more than the minimum allowed amount.

32
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:29,530
So if we go up to our mixer you can see the minimal allowed amount is zero point zero zero one bitcoin.

33
00:02:29,550 --> 00:02:36,840
So multiply that by a thousand and that means one micro Bitcoin is the minimum amount that you can makes.

34
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:43,910
If you send less than that it will either be lost or considered as a donation the minimum amount differs

35
00:02:43,940 --> 00:02:45,970
depending on the mixer you're using.

36
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:53,510
So whenever you're using a mixer make sure you're always send in more than the minimum amount so now

37
00:02:53,510 --> 00:03:01,300
that we're happy with everything I'm going to click on send it's going to ask me for the password and

38
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:03,320
the payment is sent right now.

39
00:03:03,370 --> 00:03:09,520
So if we look at my history you can see that the balance of this wallet is going to go down by minus

40
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,390
two micro bitcoins.

41
00:03:11,470 --> 00:03:17,230
But if you look at the history here we still don't see the unconfirmed transaction.

42
00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:23,740
Remember previously when we transferred money between two wallets we immediately saw that the receiving

43
00:03:23,740 --> 00:03:27,040
wallet received an unconfirmed transaction.

44
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:31,360
And after a while this transaction became confirmed.

45
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,910
Now we don't see it in this case because what we did right now we didn't send the money directly from

46
00:03:36,910 --> 00:03:38,870
this wallet to this one right here.

47
00:03:38,890 --> 00:03:43,960
We sent the money to the mixer right here the mixer is going to do its magic.

48
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:51,400
It's going to mix the bitcoins make it harder to trace and then and only then it will send it back to

49
00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:55,640
the receiving wallet which is this one right here.

50
00:03:55,750 --> 00:04:02,220
Now at the time of mixing differs depending on the mixer and depending on how it works with mixed them

51
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,820
it can take a maximum of six hours.

52
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,750
So you want to be patient with it until you receive the amount.

53
00:04:08,860 --> 00:04:12,490
You might also receive the amount in smaller chunks.

54
00:04:12,490 --> 00:04:15,630
So you might not receive the whole amount in one transaction.

55
00:04:15,730 --> 00:04:20,770
So just be patient with it until you receive the full amount that you transferred.

56
00:04:20,830 --> 00:04:26,270
And keep in mind that there is a transfer fee and there is a fee taken by the mixer.

57
00:04:26,290 --> 00:04:31,280
Again dependent on the mixer itself OK.

58
00:04:31,310 --> 00:04:33,710
Now I'm back at my retails machine.

59
00:04:33,710 --> 00:04:37,100
Now this is actually after about 20 hours.

60
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:44,770
But if you look at the legacy wallet in here you can see that we received our coins here from the tumbler

61
00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:51,770
so first we received one micro bitcoin and then we received zero point seven micro Bitcoin.

62
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,450
So as you can see it did not come as one full payment.

63
00:04:56,450 --> 00:05:02,600
Now I know I said I'm back after more than 20 hours but if you look at the time of receiving this it's

64
00:05:02,630 --> 00:05:08,880
only about three hours after the time when we sent the coins to the mixer.

65
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,280
So it took about three hours.

66
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:13,980
Like I said it can take a maximum of six hours for mixed them.

67
00:05:14,090 --> 00:05:19,280
But the time very dependent on the mixer that you're using.

68
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:25,060
So right now the coins that we have in here and our John Wick wallet have been mixed and have been cleaned

69
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:32,590
and will be harder to trace than normal coins because we broke the connection from the previous wallet

70
00:05:32,770 --> 00:05:35,500
that sent these coins.

71
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:42,490
Like I said this would make it harder to trace and make us more anonymous but it's still not the best

72
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:49,200
and the most ideal coin to use if anonymity and privacy are very important.

73
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:55,570
A better solution would be to use a coin that's designed from the ground up to be private and anonymous.

74
00:05:55,570 --> 00:05:59,490
And we'll talk more about that in the next lectures.

75
00:05:59,530 --> 00:06:06,160
I just wanted to cover this here because a lot of people and a lot of Web sites still use bitcoin because

76
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,080
bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency as we all know.
