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.
- 0% Taint as always
- No account needed
- One transaction in One transaction out to keep things simple
- Get the clean bitcoins back to the user ASAP
- Remove all traces of the transactions off the server ASAP
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!
- Users can still use Helix Light the same as before
- Added one-click option to send multiple random transaction instead of just one
- Added a one-click option to set a random delay between 1 and 6 hours
- If neither randomization button is clicked before the incoming transaction has 2 confirmations it will be processed like an old helix light with no delay and a single out transaction.
Single transaction Helix Light's will still get a small extra added on to taint the outgoing transaction amount (a few cents at most)

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.
