Helix Light: Improvements

After careful thought and consideration and have come to the conclusion that /u/BlockchainAnalyst was right about some things. I think he went about announcing it wrong and was trying to spread FUD , but he was right. In my quest to make bitcoin tumbling simple for the user I made it too simple for LE to guess where helix lights came from. There was still no proof since the blockchain link was severed but by knowing an exact time and an exact amount it was fairly easy to guess where the original bitcoins came from if LE knew it was sent using Helix Light. I immediately corrected this problem by adding a small amount to the outgoing transaction which cloaks the exact amount sent to Helix Light. I decided over the weekend to make even more improvements.

My goals with Helix light

Regular helix has always and will always work to perfection for tumbling bitcoins and keeping a user anonymous. With helix light I wanted to make a simpler and easier to use system with these goals in mind.

Improvements

With the old system it was easy to guess the exact amount in and the time it would be sent. Not Anymore! The new Helix Light still keeps the process as simple as possible but allow users to add randomization to the process. This make guessing a bitcoins source impossible!

Rewards

I strive to make the best services for the darknet and I believe Helix and Helix Light are the best tumblers out. If that is ever not the case I will make improvements as I have done this time to keep them at them and all my other services at the highest possible quality.
If anyone one finds any bugs or flaws please come to me first to collect a reward or bounty and give me ample time to fix them.

Support

I appreciate the support I got from the community when the /u/BlockchainAnalyst post was made. There were a lot of users who saw what this was , a simple circumstantial evidence through educated guess FUD, and ignored the hype. I was afraid users would stop using Helix because of it, but we actually had one of our biggest days that day. So from the bottom of my heart...
To all the users who support Grams and Helix, I Thank You!

If you have no idea what I am talking about or what Helix light is I urge your to try it.

tl;dr: I added options to helix light to make it even more secure and anonymous and I want to thank all the users who support Grams and Helix

Looks like good work and you addressed the problem quick. I dont tumble but if i did i'd use helix just for the fact that you seem to care.

Progress is always nice to see, good job.

This service is much ahead other services on the DN, now we have to assume it is a honeypot right?


[3 Points] NoDrugsHereISwear:

I actually started using Helix after I saw how you responded to the post by /u/BlockchainAnalyst. I didn't use the Light version and probably won't unless I'm in a pinch, but it's very obvious how much you care about your tumbler and your communication with the community is awesome. So yea, that whole debacle earned you at least one user! Keep up the good work!

They say that being receptive to criticism is one of the most important markers of a person's "goodness." I'm very proud that you were able to hear these serious concerns and actually acknowledge them and do something meaningful to address them - it speaks really, really well of your personal character, and is also a good indicator that you will not be lax in your efforts to keep your services secure. After all, you don't want to end up like this software developer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/885027

Really digging the no account needed bit to stay even more anon <3.

This is fucking amazing. Bless your infinite wisdom.

"a few cents" is statistical noise that can easily be filtered, you need to stop being greedy and randomize your fee.

Impressive response to community concern, and sound reasoning. If I didn't think it was secure before (I did, but whatever) I certainly do now.

Reading about this stuff always makes me feel like I am the protagonist in a William Gibson novel. In a good way, I mean.

Great work as always!

Helix light is taking forever to load, Anyone else having to wait forever just for simple things from it? E.g. Timing out loading when waiting for new send to address
