Sent a transaction to their receving address and one of my forwarding addresses never received the bitcoins. It has been unconfirmed for 36 hours now. I have been keeping an eye on 3-4 day old unconfirmed transactions for a few hours now and they are "never accepted by a node" and are pruned from the database!

I am not a victim of MITM as I have letter of guarantee which was verified. Still have it now.

Assume they sent a fake transaction or something so they could scam me out of 5BTC. Only been using bitmixer for a couple of weeks or so. 5th mix with them and I am scammed. Avoid them at all costs. Will stick with bitblender or something.

Would appreciate if support would resolve this issue as email isn't working nor is their support form.

Rubbish service!

Network has gone to shit a few days ago, you don't need to assume scam, there are problems all around because of congestion.

Contact support, maybe they will help.

i still haven't get my few btcs from someone I've transact with  its almost 4 hours now. i've trade with him 4 times already and this happen just today.

It's common if the sender (bitmixer in this case) didn't added enough fee to make the miner chose his transaction over other unconfirmed transactions. I'm pretty sure this is not a scam attempt, but an honest mistake by bitmixer.

I wouldn't say it's nothing to worry about tough, the receiver will not be able to securily spend the coins (create outputs with unconfirmed inputs is not a good thing to do) untill the transaction is confirmed, and if the transaction is eventually forgotten by the network (dropped by the nodes) the sender can (mistakingly) spend the inputs he used to create the forgotten transaction again, so the receiver will never receive his coins...

In the OP's case: it's very well possible bitmixer didn't add enough fees, so if the transaction gets dropped by everyone, bitmixer can use the inputs again, and the OP will be very unlucky. He can either rebroadcast the transaction untill it confirms, or he can contact bixmixer's staff, asking them to help him. Since he has his letter of guarantee, it'll be very easy to prove his point, and bitmixer can do a RBF or double spend the inputs, creating a new transaction with these inputs, but with a bigger fee...

I have used bitmixer hundreds of times nearly every transaction I make I use it. had a fee problem once and support fixed it with a letter of guarantee, im sure its not a scam...

have a look at the transaction id and see what it says regarding to fee or how long to confirm on blockchain.info.

I`m sure they will correct your situation.

You should point this thread to their main thread if you havent done so to get their attention its what I would do at this point.

I wouldnt think they would scam you out of only 5 btc when they handle a ton more then that in a given month.

Do you have their letter of guarantee? If so then you should post it.

Also if your transaction to them has not yet confirmed then I would suggest that you double spend the transaction, then send them BTC again with a higher fee.

Posting it here would surely compromise the reason he wanted to use a mixer in the first place? He should only share that with bitmixer imo

Well he is a newbie with 0 2 posts, and if he was using bitcoin properly then he should have been sending the BTC to an address that has never been used before, so he can simply never use the address in question. Also sending BTC to a mixer is not in itself any kind of indication of any kind of wrongdoing.

Nevertheless, without the letter of guarantee, the OP's claims mean nothing.

Agreed, But the ops business is simply his business. Just because he is a newbie to bitcointalk does not mean he is new to bitcoin world or usage. He may just not want his next hop address to be known, which I believe the letter displays?

Hi, did you contact support? If you have correct Letter of Guarantee it wouldn't be a problem. You may send me in PM.

Bitmixer has a good reputation here they even run a signature campaign so I'm sure they will fix this issue considering it is such a big amount with the price of Bitcoin now..

I send a transaction 24 hours ago and a transaction from mixer to forward address still remains at 0 confirmations. have I been scammed? I have letter of guarantee which was verified as bitmixer. help? lot of money to me.
Considering his post on bitmixer topic i think his problem is because of the 0 confirmations for a long time Smiley
and his last active was June 15th, I think at this point his coins are already confirmed by the network Wink

FYI, Bitmixer has raised its mining fee so future transaction should be confirmed as fast as usual Wink
