If your computer is infected then yes, there is a possibility for that. Assuming that Electrum is buggy, try to copy the addresses in a blockexplorer and see If there were any transactions.

Repost, maybe someone can help me out.
Is there any possibilities somebody used my private keys after i imported to my wallet?

Hey folks!

My bitcoins disappeared after reopening Electrum. Yesterday i imported few private keys (what i deleted after i imported because always was fine), and 0.203 btc shown up in my wallet. Today i restarted my computer, and after that my issue comes: I have 3 wallet, and 2 of them working well, coins still there. The third one, shows all transaction history, but no bitcoins.
Is there anything i can do?

Kindest Regards

After my private keys was imported i clearly seen 0.203 btc  (1478 eur at the time) until the restart.

Only the "watch-only" wallet has no coin, but the other two wallet has and still have it.


We talking about the ChipMixer now, i used them many times. Highly trusted, i believe they didn't used my keys. After the private keys was imported to my wallet, i deleted the session. When i restarted the Electrum / PC the coins was gone from my wallet.

Still, my last imported keys could be compromised, that's the only thing what i can imagine.  Huh
If i seen in my available balance last night, the only way it can be gone if someone else re-used my private-keys?


Thanks in advance

Edit: in my transaction history shows no incoming nor outgoing transaction in the last 24 hours.

That's quite odd. Could you check your balance on the largest chip by using btc.com/[your address] and see if it's just electrum that's the issue.

If it is just electrum, restore your wallet/make a new watch only wallet.

Edit: in my transaction history shows no incoming nor outgoing transaction in the last 24 hours.

Have you tried importing your privatekeys on another client? Must be an issue in Electrum if there is no transactions.
Or maybe your Client is out of sync? This sometimes happen to me when I load electrum for the first time.

Hello, I did not know which post would be best to get in contact as it won?t allow me to message @chipmixer because it?s a new account and I have not heard back from your email. I just need some support with my session before it closes, thank you so much! Look forward to hearing your reply, thanks!

[ChipMixer]

Does chipmixer planning to share some information publicly?

We share full information how mixer works, why it works and how it ensures fungibility.

How many coins have been mixed?

We do not disclose this information.

chips sources?

Our funds and users funds. Withdraw before deposit, chip sizes and mixer receipts ensures that any chip you withdraw from ChipMixer have no link with deposited funds.

Plan if there is a government decision against it?

Which government?

How long will keep advertising here?

We do not plan to stop.

Future plans?

Reddit / Google ads: we are looking for a person to handle this
Our wallet software: chip based wallet that handles wallet separation and fakes chip creaton
LN deposits and LN vouchers: "chips" that do not leave LN but are fungible outside of LN

Is there any plans on making a more mobile friendly version of the site?

There are no plans for that. We do not advise to use mobile devices while mixing.

Is there any possibilities somebody used my private keys after i imported to my wallet?

You could have used "sweep" option and import private keys anyway. This is the only option to have your private keys used by somebody else (our bot).

After the private keys was imported to my wallet, i deleted the session.
Edit: in my transaction history shows no incoming nor outgoing transaction in the last 24 hours.

If you have seen that chips were prefunded and now transaction is gone then it means you have imported your private keys into another wallet.

I have not heard back from your email. I just need some support with my session before it closes

Our email: chipmixer@protonmail.com
Session expires after 7 days. If we did not reply to your email after two days - send us another one.

[Husires]

Thanks for answering my questions, this enhances trust

chips sources?

Our funds and users funds. Withdraw before deposit, chip sizes and mixer receipts ensures that any chip you withdraw from ChipMixer have no link with deposited funds.

Some governments and corporations wants to invalidate its value by claiming they are connected to something immoral like gambling.

How to achieve this goal without detecting sources of chips?

Plan if there is a government decision against it?

Which government?

Governments above, if Bitcoin transactions regulated.

LN deposits and LN vouchers: "chips" that do not leave LN but are fungible outside of LN

Very good I was wondering about the future of mixing services if the lightning network succeeded?

Google ads require compromising your real life identity, right?

When I first read this, I thought it was related to the software you use on the server. On second reading (and after some sleep), I'm starting to think you're going to publish your own privacy focused wallet. As far as I know, no mixer has done that before.

so far strong evidence they are Canadians.

EDIT: source of the "Chips" may be gambling. in the past of bitcointalk.org some Canadian users operated large Bitcoin gambling sites. guess of the local gambling friendly laws.

EDIT2: at least they are gambling oriented if you look in the FAQ's "Betting". that hardens the evidence of Canadians besides the analysis which I don't want to disclose.

EDIT3: evidence of US citizens is not an option. --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_in_the_United_States#Legal_issues

What's the evidence?

I think the site was registered in Panama (if that's what pa stands for on whois) which means they are most likely North American (USA/Canada).

Because I'm Canadian, ChipMixer is Canadian obviously /s

Eh? Source of the "Chips" is "Fish and Chips", mate. "Fish and Chip Mixer" was too long and "Fish Mixer" sounds well fishy /s

We are experimenting with a fork of Electrum wallet, eh. They already told us they will not merge any mixer integration - even as a plugin - but this will allow keeping wallet up to date with all new features and extend them with special handling of chips.

I'm pretty sure this is just you trolling us again (is this your new hobby?). But this address doesn't belong to ChipMixer (obviously). It's an address created by DarkStar to escrow the funds and pay the campaign users.

I will be holding the funds for this campaign, and paying participants. The escrow address will be topped up as the campaign progresses.

ChipMixer's address is: 1ChipMwvHe5tewb1Uqa9bbZZJDmgPV1TC7 as stated in their website (https://chipmixer.com/about);
While the escrow address is: 1ChipWGhJtEWCeSq3cra4HmKhvYqe8Tvty (notice the blatantly difference).

Good detective work btw.

escrow address was funded (2017-05-26) before the chipmixer address (2017-08-16). makes no sense to me in this order.

EDIT: it's more an indicator that cipmixer created this escrow address and not the campiagn manager. or they are both the same.

EDIT2: if this chipmixer address has an operational need (which it has) then you will create and fund it with the start of the operation or before. after your business is working and you have too less customers your are thinking about to improve it. then comes the escrow address into the game. in this order.

We sign receipts with 1ChipMwvHe5tewb1Uqa9bbZZJDmgPV1TC7 address.
Our BitcoinTalk account is ChipMixer.

What is a signed receipt?

Our goal is to make Bitcoin value independent of its blockchain history. Some governments and corporations wants to invalidate its value by claiming they are connected to something immoral like gambling. Every time you withdraw from ChipMixer, we give you cryptographically signed receipt that proves you have received those funds from us. Since the disconnection of history is proven, there can be no loss of value.

EDIT3: Alpha test thread --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1923170.0

it was a single man show from the begining. even the reaction time if issues occure proves this.

IMO, chipmixer and campaign manager does not involves more then 2 people. maybe even just one. and if not just one both are strong connected in the same local community.

[TryNinja]

Why exactly does this matter?

Looks like you are just creating problems out of your mind for the sake of increasing your post count and getting paid on your signature campaign

[DarkStar_]

My 1ChipW address was generated using vanitygen when I searched for 1Chip... as I did not have a good GPU at the time. It was the second result that came, and looked decent, so I went with it. The first was something like 1Chipb or something on those lines and the 1Chipb part didn't stand out. Seriously, how is this supposed to indicate alts? Also, you don't need a funded address to sign messages.

You have 1Gyrsur3XcEoGjCarnXvGTVAS3rvjsdVm3, which is also a vanity. Thus, DarkStar_ = ChipMixer = Gyrsur confirmed!111!111one!1111

I don't think the ChipMixer signing address was supposed to be funded. My guess is someone send their coins to that address by mistake.
