UPDATE to BitCoin Fog issues

So After a deposit went missing, it did eventually show up.  The deposit showed up into my bitcoinfog account after about 12 hours and >40 confirmations.   As far as the withdrawal I set a zero delay and 6 hour max span (minimum settings), and started the withdrawal process.  After waiting 6hrs there was still no evidence of the transactions showing up.  After about 24hrs the transactions finally showed up in my wallet. 

Technical problems do happen in the real world, I understand that.  But when you are dealing with peoples money and trust, a little bit of communication goes a long way. 


Next time I need such service, I will probably try bitmixer.io as most people seem to be happy with them

So the conclusion from *MY* experience (YMMV) is that Bitcoinfog is NOT a scam, but they are having technical issues which makes them unreliable at best, and do not communicate with their users or respond to support inquiries.  They have last been active on this thread in November 2014, and the same on their twitter account.   After this experience and reading this thread, I probably will not use them again, nor could I really recommend them.

WARNING!!!  I sent a large amount (>2BTC) and waited for 6 confirmations, them 12, then 16, still never shows up in my bitfog account.  after 33 confirmations in the blockchain, it dumped all my BTC to a bunch of separate wallet addresses,  The secondary dumps got 15 confirmations, and my BTC still is never even showing up as deposited on their site.  I am using the correct URL http://foggeddriztrcar2.onion Not a phishing site.  I sent messages to support and got no reply.  Either their site is seriously messed up or they are a scam, either way DO NOT DEPOSIT ANY BTC THERE AT THIS TIME.  If and when I successfully recover the funds, I WILL update this message/thread!

See identical post from Abtcuser above.  This is not a one off problem.  Either a SCAM or something very wrong.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!

DO *NOT* USE BITCOINFOG UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED!

YOU WILL KNOW HERE WHEN THIS IS RESOLVED

News:

There have been payment delays during the last 2 days. We have been working on the problem and it is now resolved. All outstanding depositsand withdrawals are completed. Sorry for this delay, it was caused by a technical problem in our hardware infrastructure.

Anyone still missing btc?
