i can see that chipmixer has an electrum plugin, im not interested in that but rather i want to know if there is a public api that users can use to automate their mixing process?

Chipmixer electrum plugin? never heard that before. Where did you find that plugin? I can't find this on their announcement or website.

Edit: OH, Found it (https://github.com/chipmixer/electrum/tree/plugin/plugins/chipmixer). Regarding the api, I guess you should ask it to their team or on their ann thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1935098.0) instead

The Electrum plugin was discontinued due to low interest.

But it looks like their API is still up. Not sure for how long, though.

~edited~

Electrum plugin was made as a concept to be integrated with Electrum but Electrum programmers were afraid that mixer integration is bad for their reputation.
As it is - plugin is hard to install and ugly. But it works and has quite a few users.

Are there any plans for updating Electrum plugin and making it easier to use for newbies or maybe adding app for hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor?
That would be amazing, even if not supported fully by manufacturers of hardware wallet devices.

You mean publishing their own app for Ledger/Trezor devices like the native wallet app? Not sure that's even possible since you'd probably need to work with the developers. Pretty sure they will sway away from thing like this too.

The current set up for me is quite easy to learn, not to mention sometimes plug-in make it even harder for newbies to use it.

There is a plan for that but there is no roadmap or ETA.

Hardware wallets use seeds to generate private keys. You cannot import private key into hardware wallet - it is impossible to use them to keep ChipMixer chips private keys.

can you please link me to it? cause i can't find anything on the website

It's better if you ask them. I don't know if they want people posting it publicly.

Send them an email: chipmixer@protonmail.com :)
