BitcoinTalk has announced that it will start banning topics related to the cryptomixer next year. Forum administrator Theymos argued that while cryptomixer services are not necessarily illegal, they have been shut down by law enforcement in the recent past. BitcoinTalk is the best known open forum where you can talk regarding Bitcoin BTC PRICE and cryptocurrencies. The legendary forum was created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 and he often wrote comments. In 2011, the forum was moved to the bitcointalk.org domain registered by Jeff Garzik. Cryptomixer is a service that can mask the origin, location and partners of transactions. These tools were first created in 2013, but have only become a popular alternative in recent years. The BitcoinTalk forum has announced a ban on topics related to cryptomixers The ban will take effect on January 1, 2024, and will affect topics regarding the use of the cryptomixer platform, privacy encryption, and resource obfuscation. The administrator of the BitcoinTalk platform clarified that from January 1, all old comments referring to cryptomixers will be locked and archived, and users who promote them may be banned. Mixer titles will be filtered and any attempt at a ban filter will result in a ban. General discussion of mixers will still be allowed. In addition, Theymos acknowledges that cryptocurrency mixers are not illegal per se, but emphasized that “linking to mixers cannot reasonably be allowed anymore”. The measure elicited mixed reactions from the site’s community. Some users criticized the move, while others acknowledged that it was necessary for the long-term survival of the forum. The ban took place following the Sinbad cryptomixer platform was branded a “key money laundering tool” and hit with sanctions by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Sinbad is said to have processed millions of dollars for hacking groups like Lazarus.
