7 days ago we've created Electrum plugin. No response yet.

No worries, here is Telegram bot:



What does it do?
Allows you to use ChipMixer with Telegram chat client.

Is it private?
No. Here is quick list of who gets what of your private information:

Telegram owner:
- all the data - addreses, private keys

ChipMixer:
- we don't get your phone number or your ip
- but we can link all of your sessions (not that we do that)

Any strong points of bot?
1. Easy to use, especially on mobile phone.
2. Every time you start a session, you save recovery link.

This is not our main product but since we've had API for Electrum plugin ready, we did it as proof of concept. We are looking for feedback.

99% of violent muggings in US resulted in getting dollars. Can we support a currency that is used only by thiefs and murderers?!

I confirm that we've had this problem very early when we started. Chip-funding transaction was stuck for a few hours thanks to ever rising fees.  We've had to resend this transaction with much higher fee (quick fix) and change our software to avoid low fee (solution). If you have a problem with withdrawal, contact our support. In this case nobody contacted us, we have detected the problem and fixed it ourselves.

No. If you think that transaction cost will get higher and higher, send all your funds into one address with one transaction. This is the cheapest solution but also the least private.

Every time you use our service you can save a receipt. It is a document that proves that funds withdrawn from ChipMixer and there is no connection between depositing user and withdrawing user.

Since we don't track your deposits and withdrawals, it is possible. But the difference between your coins before and now is their new history. They were deposited by unknown person and they were withdrawn by unknown person. If you analyse blockchain, you cannot expect it is the same person. If we would use tracking codes, you could expect that it is never the same person and this is less private.

We do not discriminate against Bitcoins. Old, young, small, high. If they are validated on blockchain they have the same value as any other. And after you destroy session (or it expires after 48h), any link between input and output is gone.

Good old trick. This law is against terrorists and drug dealers. You cannot be against it unless you are terrorist or a drug dealer!

Money is power. If you don't have money and you live on paycheck - you are a slave. You cannot leave to other country with better law. You cannot rebel against your government.

If your money is in a bank, it's like bitcoin on exchange - you don't have private keys. It can be frozen, it can be traced, it can be watched very carefully.

If you have cash, you can do whatever you want. Nobody can invalidate it. Nobody can track it. Except police that can take it from you.

Bitcoins are better. Nobody knows you have it (unless you use KYC exchange), you can exchange it for cash wherever you want.

People who accept requests of KYC exchanges (show us your id, proof of address, source of funds) to sell their Bitcoins don't understand neither privacy nor what Bitcoin really is. What they do is begging "please, take my worthless, illegal, unlawful, bad, horrible coins and give me those shiny beads and let me join you fiat cult". And KYC exchange owners did the same before them. They went to bankers and begged "let us serve you and your fiat god. Allow us to use your golden credit cards."

Hello hulla. DarkStar is managing this campaign for us. I do not pick candidates.

Not decided yet. Escrow account balance is kept at two week payment level.

ChipMixer displays recovery link that can be used in case you lose cookies. If you use Electrum plugin, payment comment includes recovery link.
You can also contact support and give us your deposit transaction details. Do that before your 48h session ends and your bitcoins will be fine.

There was only one support request on this matter and it was solved well.

Creating accounts is bad for privacy. Please don't ask for accounts or other "mixer codes". If you want to send either ChipMixer voucher or Bitcoin private key to charity - it is fine with us.

Plugin source code is open and ready to inspect. ChipMixer doesn't read or send your privkeys anywhere. When you click "Deposit", plugin prefills send form with deposit address and payment comment. There is no hidden action - sending is the same as any other Electrum send.

ChipMixer's default is to give the most privacy, but allow to take less.
Importing private key does not leave a trace on blockchain so it is more private. Sweeping is more secure.

Current version of Electrum does not allow plugins to add their actions in Tools menu (or any other menu). After this pull request gets merged to released version, this plugin will require copying chipmixer folder into Electrum\plugins folder and enabling it in Tools -> Plugins.
If this pull request gets merged, only enabling the plugin will be required for it to work.

Till then, plugin works only with development version of Electrum: https://github.com/chipmixer/electrum (branch: plugin). My advise: wait for official one. I cannot tell you "it's easier!" then ask you to compile it yourself, can I?

Small update here.
We have created ChipMixer plugin for Electrum. It allows you to tumble your bitcoins with us without leaving your wallet and it is even easier to use than website (prefill forms, creates new wallet and imports private keys for you).

You can check readme and screenshots here: https://github.com/chipmixer/electrum/tree/plugin/plugins/chipmixer
Pull request is pending, maybe it will get included in next version of Electrum.

People complained that 0.004 donation in example is too much. They didn't understood this is volontary donation and they pay as much as they want. You can donate 0.001, 0.002, 0.004 (or even 0.001 + 0.002 making it 0.003) and so on.

If you have 2 chips of 1 mBTC, you can merge them into 2 mBTC chip. Or you can create 1 mBTC voucher then use it next time.
Or donate it

Imagine that everybody's browser history is public. Even if you are not into illegal stuff, you would still fear that your friends seen you are a member of My Little Pony's fan club. Maybe they havn't checked it yet or maybe they are laughing behind your back.
Blockchain is public and anyone competent can track some of the transactions. Let's say you've just withdrawn 0.5 BTC out of your 100 BTC cold storage and you went to buy a coffee. You paid with bitcoins and waitress checked your transaction on blockchain.info. Now she knows you had 0.5 BTC before this transaction and you just received it from somebody with 100 BTC.

With ChipMixer you receive both small and large chips. If you pay for 2.5 mBTC coffee, your wallet software will use 4 mBTC chip or 2 + 1 mBTC chips.
