### Tumbler privacy improvements |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The tumbler algorithm has been improved with the aim to increase privacy. This affects the `tumbler.py` script and `joinmarket-qt.py` GUI. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* At the start of the run, tumbler will now fully spend all mixdepths with coinjoin with no change address (also known as a sweep transaction) back to its own internal wallet. After these initial sweeps are done tumbler will continue with the already-existing algorithm of sending coinjoins with randomly-generated amounts. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Tumbler will now occasionally send a round number of bitcoins, for example `0.20000000` or `0.15000000` instead of `0.24159873`. The default probability of this happening is 25% per coinjoin. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The default wait time between coinjoins is increased from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The default number of coinjoin counterparties is increased from 6 to 9. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The default number of coinjoins per mixdepth is decreased from 4 to 2. |
