Before you open the form
A few minutes of preparation removes most of the things that go wrong with mixing in general. None of this is unique to Mixero, but all of it is worth doing first.
- Destination addresses ready. Generate them in a wallet separate from the one holding your deposit. Native SegWit (
bc1…) is preferred. - Splits decided. If you plan to use eight destinations, know the share for each before opening the form.
- Reasonable network conditions. Avoid mixing during obvious congestion spikes if a tight payout schedule matters to you.
- A safe place for the letter of guarantee. A local folder you can find quickly, ideally not cloud storage you don't control.
The walk-through
Open Mixero
Visit mixeromixer.com over HTTPS or open the Tor onion address. The order opens as the page loads.
Add destinations
Paste between 1 and 8 Bitcoin addresses, set the share each should receive. The total must add up to 100%.
Pick fee & delay
Move the fee slider, choose immediate or a randomised delay window. The exact moment is drawn at random.
Save the letter
Download the PGP-signed letter of guarantee. Save it locally before sending anything.
Send your BTC
Send the exact amount to the deposit address shown in the letter. The session moves to pending.
Confirm on-chain
Mixero waits for the required confirmations. Depending on your fee, this takes minutes to about an hour.
Receive clean coins
Cleaned coins arrive at your destinations according to the shares and delay you chose. Done.
Discard the session
Once the guarantee window closes and you've verified payouts arrived, delete the session URL and letter.
If you use Mixero through Tor: the flow is identical, just slightly slower. Configure your wallet to broadcast over Tor as well — otherwise your wallet leaks your IP at the moment the deposit is announced.
Common mistakes worth avoiding
Mixing back into the same wallet you withdrew from
If your destination wallet is the same as your deposit wallet, the mixer did its job and you undid it. Use a clean wallet that has never held the deposit funds and that will not consolidate them with the cleaned outputs later.
Treating delay as optional
The smallest randomised delay you can tolerate is worth using. Even an hour removes the same-block fingerprint instant payouts otherwise leave behind.
Sending a different amount than committed
The deposit must match what you committed to when opening the order. Sending less can leave the mix awkwardly partial. Sending more is fine but ties the extra into the same flow. Double-check the figure before broadcasting.
