[ANN] ChipMixer.com - Bitcoin mixer / Bitcoin tumbler - mixing reinvented

[ShairAfzal]

The wonderful feature I am really enjoying with chipmixer must be, quick mixing. It is possible as total mixing process just requires only one confirmation as output is already having confirmations.

It would be nice to give an update on this issue so that if its being resolved it will pose further confidence in the mind of a new person who is coming to the thread for the first time and wanting to make a decision based on the latest review. One advantage that ChipMixer has is timely response to clients issues and I hope that has not change. Hopefully, you check back again and update this.

What are your thoughts about supporting Bitcoin Cash in the future now that Bitcoin fees are going to the roof and Darknet Markets are starting to accept it?

We would rather use other altcoins than Bitcoin Cash. BCH only advantages are
1. There is less traffic therefore it is cheaper to send it.
2. It is less valuable therefore transaction fees are smaller.
3. Interface is almost the same as Bitcoin.

Disadvantages are:
1. It is a fork and we do not want to support forks.
2. Blockchain size is as big as Bitcoin blockchain.
3. Amount of transactions is much lower than Bitcoin half a year ago.

We do not plan to support Bitcoin Cash now.

The current plans for Lightning network? The tests are showing good results: https://cdecker.github.io/lightning-integration/ I know It's a little bit early for the mainnet launch but we're getting there, just want to know If you're doing getting ready for it.

Chipmixer down? Currently getting 504 error. "504 Gateway Time-out".

Should we be worried or?



EDIT: site indeed seems to be back up again, i will try use the onion link in the future and see if that makes a difference.

Did you try the Tor-version? I don't have a Tor-browser installed on this PC, but usually Tor works when the clearnet version gets DDossed.

Should we be worried or?

I don't think so. It's most likely sad competitors (or governments?) doing a DDOS for their own reasons. It's cheap to attack, expensive to fight off, and as ChipMixer explained before, DDOS-protection like Cloudflare is no solution, because that would give Cloudflare access to all your data (including private keys).
So best to do, just wait it out, or switch to Tor.

since the site under constant ddos attack, I think ChipMixer should suspend timer on any open session
or even better they could implement auto extend of any open session whenever the site down
this way people don't have to worry about expired session
it is possible to do something like that, isn't it?

I completely agree. I have seen a few support requests being posted publicly here in the forums. If these people are the same people using the mixer at times in which a DDoS attack is being launched onto the ChipMixer servers, it could potentially mean that they would be losing the chips that they had just recently tried to mix. This is most likely to happen at times in which the site goes down near the deadline for withdrawing for an individual who had previously mixed. Implementing a sort of timer or just pausing the session when an attack is launched would be a great improvement and could be implemented by using a separate, private server (obviously not public-facing) to ping the web server and update the session information on the database (which I assume is also hosted separately) to delay the time of deletion persistently until the attack on the web server ceases and the individual is able to once again access their funds.

Can you imagine the carnage with people sending BCH to ChipMixer BTC addresses... or BTC to ChipMixer BCH addresses??!?

Given the number of threads with people doing exactly this with Exchanges and the like, I would hate to be in ChipMixer support if they started offering a BCH service!

We are currently researching our options.

We are under constant ddos attack. We could extend all sessions to 7 days instead of 2 days.

Warning: There is a copycat website that brought google ads.

I've reported them to https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ , I think Google only takes action if enough people report the phishing page.
My Comments: "This site advertises on Google. The design is copied from chipmixer.com and they no doubt will steal people's Bitcoins. Please ban their advertising!"

I don't want to type the fake site's name, so here's a screenshot:

[BTCforJoe]

Thanks for posting, @LoyceV!

I just reported the site to Google, as well.



I would highly recommend everyone else does the same, as well. Let's be responsible and take actions against sites like the copycat. These scammers just give cryptocurrency a bad name, which leads to potential new users of crypto to believe that all cryptos are just based on scams and con artists... Take a second to click on the link that @LoyceV has provided above, or here. I'll make it easy.

https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/

It only takes a second. The comment part is optional, but if you want to put something there, it's as simple as saying:

Code:

This site is designed to scam and phish users of the reputable site chipmixer.com. Please ban them from advertising with Google.

Make sure to look at LoyceV's screenshot to get the address of the site to report; don't want to post the link for obvious reasons.

Thank you.

[stompix]

Sent my report to google.

We have more than 50 people in the campaign so if everybody would report it in 48 hours should be enough to trigger a reaction from google.

P.S.
I think it's better that each of us comes up with his own report so it doesn't look like a bot submitting the same stuff.

[Thirdspace]

the phishing site doesn't work for me it's giving me ssl error
they're using different ssl protocol and my chrome browser can't open it
but if I use firefox I can open it  

xxxxxxxxx.co uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

I did my part, here's my report content:

impersonator site. it is mimicking the original site chipmixer.com and people who mistyped the url would unknowingly fell into the trap and get scammed and/or phished.

I think someone fell for it, I start mixing and get address 1DrKJf95GigR6fLWHLjbCZA3DiPvourewR
and that address has already received bitcoin

Note it and will do the same thing.
Someone trying so hard to deceive people.
Hopefully, everyone in Chipmixer campaign notices this and report this scam site as well.

Yeah, there is 0.00820175 BTC at this address.
Not sure how much people may get trapped and have sent bitcoin to this site, but it's really a pain in the heart to find out you have been deceived.

[LoyceV]

Not sure how much people may get trapped and have sent bitcoin to this site

BitMixer clones have been around for a long time, copying the design and stealing funds. They only keep doing this, because people keep falling for it. It's simply profitable for the scammers, and they're very creative.
Yesterday I found this one:

For a few minutes, I thought BitMixer continued their business, and was looking for the "we are closed"-sign on the site. I consider myself to be an experienced user who doesn't easily fall for phishing sites, I checked the URL, and it took me a while to notice this:

It's just 1 pixel on my location bar!

So, if they continue this, we can expect chipmìxer.com, chipmíxer.com, chípmixer.com, chìpmixer.com and a couple more combinations in the future.
If you add î and ï it becomes a bit more obvious, but it's still a few pixels at most, and this gives much more possibilities. Add chiþmixer.com and a few more combinations, and the number of posibilities is practically endless. There are too many possible combinations to just register them all to prevent this from happening.

Thanks to adding weird characters in domain names!

Thanks to adding weird characters in domain names!

For some those are not weird characters,  ì aside there is also the è,é  and others in the french language which are used by many.

But for the really tricky ones I think there are about 35 combination possible and that only for a domain extension, and then comes the problem with .co and .om  ....at least.

Probably the only way to combat this is to check google results everyday and get everybody to report them.
Shouldn't we try our luck reporting it to the registrar as well?
