I've realized there's a flaw in my method which is that it's not anonymous. If someone inputs X bitcoins, and no one else outputs X bitcoins, then whoever receives X bitcoins is the same as the person who submitted X bitcoins. It's necessary that all people send the same number of bitcoins so that the mixing creates anonymity.
- repsilat 14y agoThere is a simple solution to this, though - You could submit one "donor" address giving X bitcoins, and submit X "recipient" addresses each receiving one bitcoin. Variations abound. As long as the recipient addresses you use are not used in a way that can be statistically linked with each other you're safe. Of course, people might contribute too many recipient addresses trying to get free money, but this can never work - the transaction would be quickly aborted.
