Hi, I have been involved in markets for some time. And I have just started a new mixer which only requires a single confirmation with a 1% fee.
It has been running for a few weeks now, and we have been testing it through this time. I have spoken with dnstats.net and they did start monitoring it sometime ago, but I'm not sure where their monitoring went to.
There is a particular process we go through to ensure the transaction is with as many miners as possible, so that we can offer this. I believe the mixing time and cost is what stops people from mixing, so I hope you all get a chance to try it.
Right now we mix with only 1 transaction, but based on feedback I'm happy to update this. There is also a section to chat publicly if there are issues, and a help section where you can contact me - I check once a day around this time.
I have another project that I am building which is to help users process multisignature payments, and hold keys without the use of Javascript (we store them for you, and process and sign transactions from all multisig markets).

Centralized mixers are a bad idea.
I can guarantee you your mixer can be easily de-anonimyzed, especially with a short mixing time and a fixed fee. Unless you mix everything manually and change your methods every transaction your mixer can be de-anonimyzed.
Bitcoinfog and Grams know this but they don't care because the darknetmarket users don't understand the technology. You might as well throw 1% of your btc away. It would be slightly safer to just use one intermediate wallet.
I really don't understand why you people("what do you mean you people?") can't comprehend this: You keep talking about how it wouldn't matter if a market was compromised because all messages are PGP encrypted, would it still not matter if your favourite tumbler was compromised? I don't think so.
