We’ve talked about this multiple times but it’s always worth saying: Bitcoin is not anonymous. Although no personal details are required to work with it, all transactions are recorded and can be seen by anyone on the blockchain. As so, it’s important to know how to use Bitcoin in a way that preserves your identity.
Bitcoin mixers aren’t new. They allow you to “mix” your BTC with others’ in order to cut off the connecting between the sent and received BTC, throwing of blockchain analysis. However, BitCloak, a Tor hidden mixer, has come up with a tool that makes it much easier to make purchases/payments with Bitcoin.

BitCloak allows you to pay anonymously with Bitcoin with the mixing fee already factored in so that the amount that is sent is the exact amount you type in.
So, let’s get started with BitCloak!
