Perhaps my knowledge on this subject is dwarfed but I just can't see how tumbling helps. Ok, so I have coins I took from AB and want to "clean" them of any trace they came from AB to me. So I send them thru Helix or some other tumbler. I assume a fuck ton of like minded DNM people are doing the same. In fact I would guess that every coin put into these tumblers are "dirty". It's like washing dirty clothes in dirty water, so the coins I get back can now be traced to Nucleus or Dream or worse yet some perv ass child porn site, or at very least a coin tumbler. So how does this "mixing" benefit me?
Could not better results be achieved by taking coins from AB, depositing them into an anonymous acct wallet on Blockchain and later withdrawing them? Wouldn't those coins have been mixed with other millions of likely cleaner coins? Thanks.
