It is a service to dissociate your personal information from your bitcoin.

Name Gender Date of birth Nationality Home address How you look Email address Phone number Device ID Transactions and related data Most exchanges worldwide ask for KYC data. The points mentioned above are just some of the personal details that get revealed when exchanges get hacked. You may have bought bitcoin from KYCd exchanges.

Tx0 is the transaction that needs to occur to uniformize your sats to go into a pool. Currently there are 4 pools of various denominations. If you initiate a mix of 0.016 BTC in the 0.01 BTC pool, Tx0 would create 2 UTXOs. One of 0.01 BTC and one of 0.006 BTC.

A mix is the coinjoin operation where UTXOs created from multiple Tx0 transactions enter a pool of the same denomination. Being of the same denomination, the output UTXOs ensure that it is very hard to identify the PIIs associated with the UTXOs that went into the pool.

Premix is when Tx0 gets created. Post mix is when one or multiple mixes have occured. Remix is when atleast one mix has occured and sats are going for more mixing cycles.

A premix wallet houses various UTXOs created to go into various pools.

Once sats have gone through a mixing cycle, they land in the post mix wallet. You can perform 3 actions from within this wallet: 1) Send mixed sats out from this wallet to your connects or some other wallet you have. 2) Transfer them to the Vault in Keeper. 3) Send the sats for another cycle of mixing called remix.

Tx0 creates 2 UTXOs. One UTXO is prepared to go into your chosen pool. The other is change that remains from the UTXO that's supposed to go into the pool. This change does not go into the whirlpool and could reveal critical PIIs. Thus such changes are collected in a dedicated wallet called the Bad Bank.

Sats that could reveal PIIs that are removed from the UTXO prepared for a mix are called Doxxic change.

You can use doxxic change on services like bitrefill.

Alas no! However, we've built the feature in a way that you can choose when to initiate a mix and a remix. You will have to keep alive for the mixes to occur.
