How to Make an Anonymous Ether Transaction Using WeiMixer

22 Aug 2017

Much like Bitcoin itself, and unlike privacy-driven coins like Monero and Zcash, Ethereum is a pseudonymous cryptocurrency in which transactions can be seen in a distributed and immutable ledger, the blockchain. This is generally not a big issue depending on what you want to do, but in some cases, having transactions out in the open is not a good idea.

Be it companies that want to keep their revenues private from competition or a person that wants to make someone else a surprise, anonymous payments have many use cases besides shady payments on the deep web. That’s why we want to teach you how to use an Ethereum mixer.

In this guide, we’re going to use WeiMixer due to its simplicity and low fees. However, there are some mixers to choose from on the web, the most popular ones being for Bitcoin, of course.

The WeMixer allows you to set your own fee from 0.8% to 3% as a way to provide an affordable service while also allowing users to show appreciation through a higher fee.
