quick crash course on mixers and obfuscation in crypto
what is a mixer?
a mixer is what it sounds like: it mixes funds
a bunch of users deposit funds, mix them in a pool, and then people withdraw from that pool
example: assume you have 7,500 of ShitcoinX on your account charles.sol, but you accidentally doxed your charles.sol account to degens on social media
now, everyone knows your real-life identity is tied to charles.sol and that you have 7.5k of this shitcoin
(this is actually pretty bad because now they can also see everything you have EVER done onchain dating back forever but let's focus on one nightmare scenario at a time)
in many cases, you do not want this unwanted attention from the whole world any more than you want the whole world knowing your private messages
so what you can do is put 7.5 of your shitcoin into the mixer
> charles.sol has deposited 7.5k shitcoinX into MixerCash
some time after, you make a new account, say derplet.sol, and then you send 7.5k of shitcoinX to derplet.sol
