Bitcoin Forum

We have been using the bitcoin fog service for 3 months now and everything was going smoothly until around 2 days ago when 2 of our withdrawels didnt show, we thaught we would give it a coule of days and have been patiently waiting.

Today we checked and the withdrawals had the status finished from 2 days ago so we decided to check out the withdrawal addresses on block explorer and with no surprise no transaction history over the last 2 days. We then proceeded to withdraw the last of our balance and so far not so great, all in it mounts to just over 1 btc.

We have messaged support but nothing has been done so far and its starting to get rater frustrating.

We are sure that the fog team are an honorable bunch and just hope that this is a technical issue.

Has anybody else had this problem?

I have never heard of it...

This is their official thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50037.0;all
It seems slow withdrawal and unresponsive support are the common problems lol.

Myself and many many others are having issues with the service.  24 hours with no withdrawal to the wallet.  Nothing on the Blockchain.  No response from support.  Hundreds of bitcoins are missing. 

This looks like they have disappeared with our money.

Bitcoin fog? Is it just some sort of laundering service?

Seems to be. These sort of services usually turn out to be scams sooner or later.

hi,

Any updates?

More and more people made their posts in the official thread to report the withdrawal delays...

today, a tested transfer < 1 BTC did work fine

Glad to hear that :D

I have contacted and eventually chatted with several people that had their money stolen by Bitcoin Fog, including myself.  If support ever answers a message do not expect any response that actually addresses your concerns.  Instead they will more likely belittle you and in my case they even acted annoyed that I was bothering them over such a small amount of money as they put it.  I guess it was big enough for them to steal it though.  With many of the people I emailed and eventually chatted with... they told me they simply got tired of dealing with it especially since it was clear they had lost their money and were not going to get it back.  Many did not even warn other people.  I wish I had some forewarning, I guess I did not dig hard enough on the forums before I sent them my money.  I wish I had hunted hard for information like this before I sent them money rather than after they ripped me off.  Being violated (ripped off) and angry about about it really motivates a more thorough search I guess.

Personally
i never experienced an problem with bitcoin fog

My friend used it and it worked successfully.

Almost all mixers are scams... that one from Moriarty bit launder is allegedly a scam although he denies it and it is quite complex.

I have once used Bitmixer.io a few months ago, and it worked smoothly for me. Not sure if anything has changed though. :)

BitcoinFog is a known scam now ...

If you look up the ip history of that place it gets real fishy real quick

This is like HYIP ???
when i try to open the website, that say is i need tor to access. I doubt, this is site scam.

I would say stick to bitmixer from now on, they're more reputable.

Why do people need to mix your coin before using them? Isn't bitcoin itself already safe from your identity?

Doesn't blockchain.info also has a mixing service?

Nope it is not a HYIP but a mixer.
Basically you deposit your bitcoin in a mixer, get bitcoin in your other address after fees, and no one should be able to link the two addresses.

In the past blockchain.info has a function called "shared send" that worked exactly like a mixer. But later it has been removed.
The "shared coin" function now on blockchain.info doesn't work the same way. You can read https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325594.msg3697300#msg3697300 if you are interested in the difference.
