Hmmm. Can't you use Binance for this with their 2 BTC daily withdrawal limit? They don't require KYC for buying privacy-based coins, right? It's been a while since i've used them so they might force KYC now, i'm not too sure. Might be worth checking out though. Or: use Bisq https://bisq.network/ ? but you might be paying some more $ in fees though. Still, - using Bisq - you can be certain you won't be asked for any sort of verifications, which might be worth paying 1-2% for. |

We don't have access to your wallet so we don't know why you can't spend that money. But there's a common scam going around where people convince you to add their address to your wallet or they ask for your login details and do it themselves. If you did something like that then that money isn't yours.
no its not that, i receive a few $5- $10 btc payments an hour by random ppl and its all confirmed Contact support. It's probably a consolidation issue if you're receiving "many TX per day" or something. Also: Stop using that provider and get a proper desktop wallet or better yet a hardware wallet.
Do what I said and ignore the shitpost to which you responded to. It sounds more and more like an UTXO consolidation issue. Blockchain.info support probably won't be of much help in the case of a consolidation issue. (I doubt they will tell OP to use another wallet, (namely electrum)). @OP, have you tried "consolidating" your funds, or some of your funds with the lowest fee (1 sat /b) possible? If so, does it still not work?  If that does not work, you will probably have to go to your wallet -> make backup phrase -> import the backup phrase into Electrum, and see what the actual damage is . (I can describe it in more detail if that's something you want.) And from there on (in electrum) you can more easily select which inputs to consolidate, and which ones to simply not use. I'm not that familiar with blockchain.com, but i think they won't allow you to choose what inputs to spend yourself (which might be the problem?). There is some discussion almost about same issue, you might read there to find some solutions. By the way, if your balance reflecting on block explorer then it's not happend with you first time. There is a article on blockchain dot com about that issue, read it to better understand, "I was expecting to receive funds but have not received them yet". Overall only blockchain dot com could help you as @Lauda already said, try to contact with them. Note: Don't give your password to someone else if anyone ask on your PM. This isn't very big issue you can solve it by yourself. I think OP's problem (from the way he described it) is not that he hasn't received them yet- but that he can't spend them. Him stating that he usually receives 5-10$ transactions (more often than not dust), could be the reason.
Somehow i also doubt that you actually have 5.5 BTC in your blockchain.com account -- that's a lot of 5-10$ transactions. Anyway- importing your wallet into electrum is never a bad idea, and will quickly show what funds actually belong to you, and which inputs are still economical to spend..

I very much agree with most points you're making. I'd however like to place a footnote here;
If you want to just send coins to a mixer site, cross your fingers, and hope that it’s not a honeypot logging the links between inputs and outputs, then I suggest that you click the links in my signature and try Chipmixer. Chipmixer is convenient, and it unlinks your transactions on the public blockchain. Javascript is not required.
If you want trustless privacy, that is a complicated subject beyond the scope of this topic. The best I can say here is that as Lightning grows, it will render all these questions obsolete for most use cases: Blockchain spies can’t trace transactions that never touch the blockchain!
This is still a scenario which one -- who takes his privacy *extremely serious* -- should consider. We have yet to see any proof Chipmixer isn't a honeypot per se either (Though- it'd be pretty much impossible to prove or disprove anyway-). While I might believe that Chipmixer is acting in good faith- it'd be weird for me to tell others they actually are, without any immutable proof. Therefore, if one is using Chipmixer for anything other than unlinking their inputs for the commonalty and some improved privacy, i'd highly suggest he thinks twice about such a scenario. |

I know there's someone that will make a thread for it here, though I don't know yet how long it's been there but I just experience it right now as I am trying to find an address from another member.
What could be the cause of this maintenance? Or are there improvements theymos is implementing on this feature because AFAIK way back then I tried searching long sentences on the "Search" function and it seems really fine but just the past year or early 2018 I experienced that this become not reliable to do so for long sentences I tend to use "Google Search" function.
If i had to guess, it probably has something to do with the flawed keyword relevance ranking, and overall sluggishness that came with the search function. I'm not sure if others experienced it the same as i did, but i found it much easier to just use google search than the internal search function. As i said- it was just slow- didn't return the most relevant posts most of the time, and... i don't know. I have a pretty good feeling the search function took up a lot of (CPU)/bandwith power (accessing every indexed post?) i'm not entirely sure though. |

Exchanges are honeypots
I’m afraid this is also true for a lot of mixers, although mostly due to negligence (see bestmixer), where all transaction records were recovered. In that case, you were probably better off not using any mixing tools. So ideally, you should only use “provably-based privacy” (where privacy can be proven, and isn’t trusted to be the case.) Too bad that that still isn’t the case with most mixers, and are we still relying on the trustworthiness of already existing mixers (Chipmixer, etc) |

I dont understand your point here ... you are speaking on behalf of almost negligible amount of people who is dumb enough to put a wrong address and expect to get their funds ?
so you go to ebay and buy stuff and put a wrong address and you blame ebay for sending the item to the wrong address ?? be sensible
your argument is immature
See, this is especially ironic considering that, if you enter an invalid postal code or adress, most reputable sites will mention that it is invalid. Something you specifically refrain from doing. (Despite it costing less than 10 minutes to implement). Also, the argument was never about a wrong adress- it was about an INVALID adress. "Ebay" won't keep your money if you entered an invalid shipping adress, while at the same time not sending anything out.... its actually simple, you enter the correct address and you get your funds mixed in a secured manner, if you enter a wrong address, we cant trackback your correct address. We are in the mixing business not in mind reading business , we cant read your mind if you put a wrong address and expect us to magically know your right address.
... You (purposefully) don't get what he said?.. ...You can always say that, whether the adress was right or wrong. "Oops, you pasted your adress wrong, the money is ours now!" -- Adding another unnecessary factor of trust. I already know what your reply to this is going to be: "Muh M2POPOCPO code" - Yeah, you only store that for 24H, and the customer has another hoop to jump through, while he still doesn't know whether you're being malicious, or if it's actually their own fault. -- That also didn't work last time, right? The code was already deleted when you found out 106$ was stuck. If you have the best intentions for your customers, i really, really don't understand why you're being so stubborn about trivial things such as this. |

Because you only undertand the small picture, the bigger picture is, it's never to make money from mixing which is what like 1-3 percent?? We just wanna show that we are also doing public mixing and if there is an error in input and we can't mix, the fund is ours, this is where we can channel our private client's money to legal profit and pay tax, so when we use our own mixer, and the mixer unable to send the coins due to deliberately caused error, that becomes profit in our accounting, and we pay tax and clean the money. So why not u kids just go play far away on your own lil bubble because the godfathers has their plans and it was never to mix your kids coins
SWIM
I have no words. Why did you decide to post this from an account you used to promote your own mixer in the past? the bigger picture is, it's never to make money from mixing which is what like 1-3 percent??  What? 1-3% per transaction is an insane ROI... We just wanna show that we are also doing public mixing and if there is an error in input and we can't mix, the fund is ours, this is where we can channel our private client's money to legal profit and pay tax, What the..? When someone loses money due to your site being a primitive sack of shit, you simply say, oh well, that's our money now? That's good to know. so when we use our own mixer, and the mixer unable to send the coins due to deliberately caused error, that becomes profit in our accounting, and we pay tax and clean the money. So you deliberately don't implement safeguarding measures such as adress checksum checks so that, if the user, by accident, sends a wrong withdrawal adress, you can keep the funds? Huh... So why not u kids just go play far away on your own lil bubble because the godfathers has their plans and it was never to mix your kids coins ... Heh. How mysterious: - Looks like we found the obvious sockpuppet. Sigh. This site https://www.atobmixer.com AtoBMixer offering monero mixer, why use mixer for monero ? taught monero was untraceable they also offer mixing for 16 different altcoin but mixing monero is not worth it or am i missing something here ? I have no idea who that was , but She must be a genius.
""She"" made a bunch of stupid nonsensical statements. I fail to see how that equates being a genius, but i suspect you know something here that i don't. I have no idea if the allegations are true , but our mixer if functioning for public and if you have not tried, dont just assume with "What if" statements, if your coins go missing in our mixer, talk about it here, else i would just feel you are just paranoid and think too much and a USD 20 to test the system before making any statements is a big money for you... USD20 is peanuts to if you have 17.2 Million USD in your account, just saying
Who talks about 17.2 Million, who talks about "allegations" ( ) All i've done is pointing out observable facts. namely that your fix isn't actually a fix, and whether you actually know it isn't, or that this is just a ploy to get more of your customer's funds. (you already "earned" 106$ due to a "lost and found" case, right? You stated that yourself.) |

we are not responsible for stupidity. We highlighted " ensure the address is correct" before pressing start mixing. plus bitcoin address doesnt have a fixed number of string.
ATOBMIXER ADMIN
Your reply once again proves your ignorance. I really, really doubt you actually know what you're doing. plus bitcoin address doesnt have a fixed number of string. ... And so an integrity check is impossible because... ? |

It's never possible to control scam by admin/mod panel. It will create a false sense among the newbie that they aren't going to be scammed while they certainly will be eventually. Therefore, it's better not moderating scam here. The number of forum users are beyond controlling scam I guess.
I agree. We (as in the forum) shouldn't promote behaviour that leads to users trying to find scams in every company. Sure- someone pointing out scams should be rewarded for it, perhaps, somehow, but it shouldn't become a goal. (for each user to find x amounts of projects to report, which is essentially what you'll do by adding "badges"..) I've come to believe that, as far as altcoin project tokens go, not the forum but the user itself is responsible for checking whether the project is legit. Maybe i'm a bit too libertard in this, but i don't really feel the need for 10 badged users telling me that every altcoin project i see is a scam -- i know. - of the other side, people promoting scams will be discouraged to insist into these operations knowing that the ambassadors are motivated to find them fast
something something social credit system. No. we don't need more "systems", more badges, which only takes away from actual discussion and instead promotes meaningless circlejerking. I don't know. I hate most altcoin projects as much as the next guy, but this seems to center the forum around reporting other users, instead of creating meaningful content yourself. |

2. ensures user enters a address to continue mixing
<center><h3 style="color:#FF4500">ERROR : Value must be entered at 1st receiving address to continue</h3></center>
ERROR : Value must be entered at 1st receiving address to continue
We made the changes on both clear and TOR site
Thank you for your suggestion and we have made improvements
ATOBMIXER ADMIN
***puff puff pass Thursday ***
.... Damn. this isn't "ensures user enters a adress" it's "ensures user enters anything at all". It solved exactly 0. If someone now pastes in the adress with 1 character missing, what happens? You'll say it's valid, and then... you keep the money they send again? Really, this if(input = any) check doesn't inspire great confidence you actually mix anything at all. But i've said this already. |

[Service message]
we received ~106.00 USD but bot was used and therefore we could not mix the bitcoins since your bot caused a glitch in our PHP processor, (Your fast paced multiple request made to our PHP to execute the same code multiple time before it was able to send the data to the mixer standalone server)
who ever u r kindly contact us for refund back to your sending address, we cant mix this coins since its unsafe method of mixing, and we dont know who you are.
kindly talk to us before writing a review.
ATOBMIXER ADMIN
Someone actually sent you 106$, and you don’t know what adress he’d wanted to have his coins send to? Is this a bad joke? “Glitch in the PHP processor”, We didnt want to outsource our page design and compromise our inner workings of our mixing system. we want to keep the circle of "know hows" to limited people to enhance privacy as even we use our mixers to mix our personal coins. If we hire outsiders to make a fancy "trustable" looking page , it will compromise security. Our team is not an expert at UI i guess Smiley but the working mixer mixes the coins and thats what matters. We started our public mixing on TOR in 2017, we moved to clearnet in 2019 for marketing reasons. we been doing private mixes since 2015 for our private clients you’ve been in business for 3 years and this hasn’t happend before? How interesting. <smirks> |

Hmm. Note: Not an expert at all nor have i really looked into this, but according to this post dating back from 2014 (so things might very well have changed since then), it might indeed be smart to manually overwrite your HDD after deleting. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=425465.0We have shied away from tackling this problem, because it's really out of scope for us (the core devs have too). There's so many different filesystem types that have their own ways of handling data on disk. We could do a PhD on how secure-delete files on each one, and it still would probably not be perfect, and only handle a subset of the filesystems out there.
My recommendation is that if you really want to wipe it, you shred the entire drive from a live CD and then reinstall your OS. Alternatively, one thing that theoretically should work, would be to make sure the wallet is deleted, and then do something like "dd if=/dev/urandom of=tempfile.bin" (if linux), which will create a single file full of random bits that will eventually consume all unused space on your disk. This will force the OS to overwrite all sectors marked as deleted. Then, if the system is still functional, you can remove the file. Repeat a few times to enforce "shredding". Though, depending on the OS, strange things can happen when you literally fill your last byte of free space.
Again, not sure how accurate this still is. |

WARNING: I would advise people to be extremely careful with this mixer. They were one of the random mixers that were being suggested by a shady user from a random "mixing review website". Their website is pretty basic and looks like it was done by someone after watching a few PHP + HTML tutorials in the internet.
You don't actually even need to input your receiving address to start mixing. There is no verification whatsoever. Extremely amateur job. And too many scam mixers are appearing out from nowhere these days.
To build onto this: - The site uses Google Analytics - The site uses Cloudflare - The site loads CDN content without integrity checks (ok,doable) - If, and that's a big IF the status page ( https://atobmixer.com/status/) would accurately display mixing statuses, it could easily be bruteforced. The code is 6 characters long, and i don't think there's a rate limit. (Ok, maybe cloudflare would step in?  ) Considering you only use letters and 0-9 Considering a speed of 1 million tries per second (and that's pretty, very modest for cleartext, no?). One would have access to your entire mixing process in what? 2000 seconds? 2176782336/10^6 = 2176.782336 (Unless i'm missing something here. I'd happily be corrected.) But that's not to mention that you don't even check if the user has even copy & pasted a receiving adress. And you use cloudflare... |

Had Coinbase USD WALLET EMPTIED this week while down loading coins from POLONIEX, I thought Coinbase was secure. Coinbase says they can't help. Now what.
Check your transaction history and from there do some self-investigation. There is no way someone can withdraw it easily or something as it needs authorization. Try to think about what you did along the way. And what do you mean by "while downloading coins from POLONIEX"? Poloniex is moving out of the "Circle management group" or similar, and thus everyone who is a US resident needs to withdraw all their coins, else they'll lose them. That's probably what OP was doing. But, by using terms such as "downloading" it becomes clear that OP at the very least is not super-experienced with crypto's, or the terminology thereof. Coinbase hasn't been hacked - your account has been hacked. Your coins are irretrievable. Now what. Go and change the passwords to any accounts using the same password as you use for Coinbase (there should be none since you shouldn't be reusing passwords), and go and change the password to the email account linked with your Coinbase account. I'd also check your computer for any viruses or malware such as keyloggers which may have stolen your password. Then enable 2FA on all your crypto accounts. Once you've done that, you would do well to look in to how to store your coins yourself and stop trusting web wallets or exchanges. Do this, but if i were you, i'd also factory reset (format) your PC, or at the very least;; do some virus scans if you haven't already.
I haven't used coinbase in a long time, but is't 2FA mandatory there as well? change all your passwords and try to be more attentive next time... that's all
That won't help if his PC is ratted. |

What about the mixer in your signature? Takes balls to promote a competitor when you have a vested(?) interest in promoting the site you're getting paid to promote, no? LOL, this is really ridiculous. @sujonali1819, I doubt that Blender.io is paying you to promote their main competitor in the market Chipmixer. This is probably case when you don't even check what you're advertising in your signature. I don't get the big deal with it. He is getting paid to use their signature, not shill them. I ad ChipMixer in my signature AND also in my posts because I like it and support it. If there was a better mixer, I would honestly suggest it for other users (along with probably ChipMixer). Having an opinion solely based on which company is paying you sounds... bad? Business =/= personal opinion. I agree- i wasn’t being sarcastic (Although i think you were mainly responding to LTU’s post in the first place). I think it’s a good thing that regardless what you are promoting, you still speak your mind- and not try to mindlessly please whoever’s signature you’re wearing, like a lot of other users would. Anyway, good on you sujo. |

You can't have both at same time, but if you prefer no fees and full control over your Bitcoin and payment gateway, then BTCPay is for you. It's free and open source. The only downside is you need to set it up yourself. Yes, but with BTCpay, I think that I will still need to host my server somewhere and pay for that + setting up it to work properly. (for now I am hosted in Godaddy's service and using Printful and Storeenvy services for printing, selling and distributing.) I totally agree it would give me the best control of my store, but with Bitpay's service I could do it right now without too much hassle prbably and only pay for 1% fees per transaction to them, which does not seem too bad if it is secure. I will have to give this a long thought, since this is a project I am willing to take on slowly but steadily and when I have enough knowledge about BTC and server hosting I can maybe move fully to BTCpay. Anyway, I like this community, you are awesome and giving nice advices. Thank you so much. You can also use a BTCPAY processor, which uses your extended public key to generate deposit adresses. Read this for the pro's and cons - https://docs.btcpayserver.org/deployment/thirdpartyhostingOfcourse- the most significant one for Bitpay is that you don't have the (perceived) risk of them running off with your funds (since they are much more established than the BTCPAY thirdparty hosters (such as btcpayjungle). - but the biggest con is KYC and overall bureaucratic crap. BTCpay- 0% fees, money goes directly to your own wallet- but if you don't run the server, there is a chance an evil server operator replaces your adress with their own. Although, this should be notable pretty quickly. Trusted third parties are security holes. By relying on someone else to manage a server for you, you are potentially exposing yourself to a certain attack vector.
The most significant attack vector when using a third party host is that a malicious and technically skilled host can create a forked version of BTCPay Server and modify it so that it either spy on your transactions or replace your xpubkey with his. This means that future payments made to you may end up in a malicious party wallet. |

I also will recommend you to use chip mixer. It is very reliable I think have seen many users are using chip mixer for mixing in this forum. But always I will suggest you use an accurate link for it. Because many fake phishing sites of chip mixer are on the internet. So be careful about it.
What about the mixer in your signature? Takes balls to promote a competitor when you have a vested(?) interest in promoting the site you're getting paid to promote, no? |
