Current Situation

  • Mixdepths are represented as "privacy levels" in the UI
  • UI shows privacy is a linear progression from "low" to "high"

The Problem

  • Mixdepths are equal and do not map to privacy guarantees directly
  • The default tumbler is circular, UTXOs from mixdepth 4 will end up in mixdepth 0 again

The Goal

  • Find a better metaphor and/or representation of mixdepths
  • Be precise in the metaphor, we must not mislead users or give a wrong impression in regards to privacy guarantees

Things to Consider

  • Mixdepth is configurable, default is 5 [0-4]
