How does the Bitcoin Mixer work?

When someone initiates a transaction, they send funds to a randomly generated address that’s part of a large network of addresses contributed by many different users. This address acts as an intermediary and holds the funds for a randomized period. After a few days or even weeks of inactivity, it then sends funds from a different address in the network to the final recipient. This delay, along with the use of a different source address, helps to break any clear connection between the sender and receiver.

Since these random addresses are shared and regularly refreshed by different users, the network ensures that each address can act as an independent step. Once an address receives funds, it doesn’t immediately send them out. Instead, it waits, and when the time comes to move the funds, they are sourced from a completely different sender within the network. This randomness and time delay make it nearly impossible for outside observers to trace a transaction back to its original sender, adding strong privacy without any direct link between sender and recipient.

How can a mixer make Bitcoin anonymous?

A Bitcoin mixer, or tumbler, can make Bitcoin transactions more private by breaking the traceable link between the sender and the recipient on the blockchain.

1. Pooling Transactions: When a user sends Bitcoin to a mixer, it combines that Bitcoin with funds from many other users. This pooling of funds makes it hard to distinguish one person's Bitcoin from another’s.

2. Splitting and Shuffling: The mixer then splits and shuffles these pooled funds, randomly redistributing them among various addresses it controls. This step ensures that the original source of each Bitcoin unit is obscured.

3. Redistributing to New Addresses: After mixing, the mixer sends an equivalent amount of Bitcoin (minus a small fee) to a new address provided by the user. This address is unrelated to the original sending address, which makes it extremely challenging to connect the initial sender with the final recipient.

4. Timing Delays and Randomized Outputs: Many mixers also introduce random time delays and distribute funds in multiple smaller transactions rather than a single lump sum. These techniques add more layers of privacy by making the transaction pattern less predictable.

Through these methods, Bitcoin mixers effectively "break" the transparent link on the blockchain, helping users enhance their privacy by making it far more difficult to track the flow of their funds from start to finish.
