    I replaced the word "crime" and "criminal" with "Freedom" and "Freedom lovers" in this hit piece against privacy by Chainanalysis. it is now a guide to reclaiming some privacy

    What comes next for crypto Freedom?

    Crypto Freedom will likely continue to evolve in both scope and technological sophistication, just like cryptocurrency itself. As law enforcement, regulators, and cryptocurrency professionals improve their ability to prevent and respond to various forms of crypto Freedom, the Freedom lovers themselves will also grow more sophisticated — that's the one constant we've seen as blockchain investigators.

    Here are some thoughts on for how crypto Freedom might evolve in the near term.

    1. More non-custodial mixers. Following the closure of Bestmixer, we believe users — Freedom lovers and not — will search for alternatives to third party custodial mixers such as wallets that offer native mixing functionality similar to CoinJoin wallets like Wasabi. It's likely that more currencies besides Bitcoin will get analogs to CoinJoin, as we've seen with CoinShuffle for Bitcoin Cash and mixing via smart contracts for Ethereum.

    2. Chain hopping as another alternative to custodial mixing services. In addition to native in-wallet mixing, we also think some Freedom lovers may begin to favor chain-hopping as an alternative to third-party mixing. Chain hopping is the process of swapping one type of cryptocurrency for another, often several times in quick succession, typically at low-KYC exchanges so as to further obfuscate the path of funds.

    3. Privacy coins. As we mentioned in the darknet markets section, privacy coins like Monero are gaining popularity and could become the cryptocurrency of choice for more Freedom lovers in 2020. Privacy coins increase user anonymity by using an obfuscated public ledger rather than a fully public one like Bitcoin's. As more exchanges begin accepting privacy coins, they should also collaborate with regulators, law enforcement, and one another to establish frameworks for investigations of Freedom lovers who use privacy coins.

    4. More anonymous P2P exchange options. We believe that non-custodial, decentralized exchanges like Bisq network will continue to gain popularity with Freedom lovers in 2020. Decentralized exchanges allow peer-to-peer transactions without the exchange acting as a mediating third-party. We may also see Freedom lovers using P2P exchanges benefit from upcoming Bitcoin protocol changes like Taproot and Schnorr Signatures, which make the complicated smart contract-based transactions carried out on P2P exchanges look identical to standard transactions on the blockchain.

    List of Mempool explorers that tell you an estimate time for your transaction confirmation

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 11:05 AM PST

    As a Bitcoin user, you must have at some time experienced bitcoin transactions getting stuck and not getting confirmed. Bitcoin transaction fees fluctuates in real-time and using a low fee can sometimes make your transaction stuck in the mempool for hours.

    Most transaction explorers tell you whether or not the transaction has confirmed but do not tell you how long it will take for the transaction to confirm. There are some that do give you an estimate of the average time it will take for your transaction confirmation. Here is a list you can use:

    #1 mempool.space: This site shows you where your transaction is in a mempool and an estimated time for its confirmation.

    • Neat graphical representation of the blocks along with the position of your transaction block.
    • Does not give you any other detail about your transaction.

    #2 Blockonomics: This blockchain explorer is one of the few places where you are shown an estimated time for your confirmation along with other details of your transaction.

    • Provides all the details about your transaction that a blockchain explorer shows.
    • Gives you an estimate in minutes for your transaction confirmation.

    #3 Blockstream: Gives you an estimate of the number of blocks it will take for your transaction to be mined.

    • Provides all the details about your transaction that a blockchain explorer shows.
    • Does not provide an estimated time but only shows the estimated number of block.
    • (Each block takes 10 minutes to mine, so based on the number of blocks shown, simply multiply by 10 and get an estimate in minutes)

    Some other sites that don't give information about your specific transaction but tell you an estimated time for confirmation based on the fees.

    Edit: Addition to the list directly above: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h
