for hours .. server problems?

Our Tor service is under DOS attack. We are working to resolve this issue.
All existing sessions will be extended for another 7 days.

I'm getting a 502 on the dot com is that under attack too?

I think it's more than obvious that if someone performs a DOS attack on CM Tor service, it is doing same thing with clearnet service.


I personally have not experienced such a long DOS attack on CM, for several days whenever I try to access clearnet link in 99% of cases I get error 502, with a few exceptions when the page is only partially loaded.

Hi! Why not use Cloudflare?

Hi! Why not use Cloudflare?

Why would you trust an American company like that? They can literally MITM all traffic if they want to (or are forced to by subpoenas).
Using CF would kill all trust in this service.

That's right, but they still use an American company (on clearnet side). Namecheap Inc, with default DNS: registrar-servers.com

Your tor site hasn't worked in months. We can access it but no one can get past the captcha (internal server error).

Now both your darknet and clearnet site are giving 502 errors, and you're not giving us a very realistic update.

Your service could be awesome if you can get your shit together. It looks like you've put a lot of work in to this, if you can keep it going for a year or 2 we will gladly make you a millionaire with fees.

That's simply untrue. I already said it worked for me a week ago.

Now for "getting his shit together", he is getting DDoS'ed. What do you want him to do? Competitors are probably attacking him and instead of using a clear honeypot MITM (CloudFlare) to keep getting as many customers as he can, he prefers to get attacked and provide as much privacy as possible. Dodging an attack like this on his own is not easy.

Simply using namecheap for your DNS is very different from routing all your traffic through a Cloudflare name server.

using DNS + SSL only exposes your IP to the DNS provider, whereas if you use something like cloudflare, you route all traffic through, let it be encrypted, you can still expose a much larger amount of fingerprints.

Still doesn't seem ideal but i don't think you can have DNS without someone logging certain things such as your IP. (right?)

both are working fine now, hopefully the ddoser got tired and has ended the attack now
it's not easy to mitigate ddos attack, they can keep doing it if they have unlimited resources

it's been running for 2 years+    and sig camp is on week 119 now
there's no payment issue on sig camp so far, so I'm pretty sure ChipMixer has made a lot of $$ or BTC

Thanks for the update, finally I can access it now, I hope this attack will be stop as I am not using a TOR browser to do mixing.
I'm just using a normal browser to access the site, https://chipmixer.com/. Today, i was able to access it fast but haven't done a transactions yet, I will observe first if there will be no more attack that will happen again, then maybe tomorrow I will use this again.

[Lucius]

Tor would not help you in last few days during the time of the attack, it is just an additional way to protect your privacy (hide real IP), and it can not stop DOS attack.

I will observe first if there will be no more attack that will happen again, then maybe tomorrow I will use this again.

Such attack is not cheap, and whoever was behind it spent what he had, at least for now. Even in case it happens again in time you are mixing your coins, you don't have to worry, few post above ChipMixer is post :

Thanks mate, this is the guarantee from Chipmixer I was looking for, site is still up for the 2nd day of my access, will transact gradually now, I don't like to have it in one go and I'd rather pay for more fees than face the problem of waiting in case problem occurs again.

[BitMaxz]

I'm getting 502 error when accessing the clearnet on chrome but when accessing it to incognito it's working fine but it's not loading properly only text, captcha and button shows.

Let me try to mix some coins if it still can mix while the clearnet is under DDOS attack.

Now, I'm always getting 502 Bad Gateway after my transaction got one confirmation.
Now, I got mine after keep reloading the page.

Just keep reloading the page if you are planning to mix coins.

DDOS attacks usually use a botnet (made out of many hacked computers). That's actually quite cheap to do, and very expensive to fight off.
Bitcoin mixing is big business, and some use criminal methods to attack ompetitors. It could also be used for blackmailing, I've seen that happen to Bitoin casinos in the past.

Have some missing coins, Sent 3 times to the address, 1st not added, 2nd OK, 3rd OK.

Not sure why this is happening but they do not reply on email. Hope to be solved soon.

Hello.
Faced a problem when crediting my bitcoins to the mixer wallet:
08/29/19 I sent 0.36 BTC to the proposed wallet address 13nxQB53e2WNxKPYYkYT4EGkeGcUnatsK2
This transaction has a lot of confirmations, but my deposit in the mixer is 0, and I still see “Waiting for a confirmed transaction” in step 1. I checked the addresses and made sure they were correct.
08/30/19 I sent an email describing this problem to chipmixer@protonmail.com
08/31/19 To date, I have not received a response from chipmixer, my session deposit is still 0.
Since I could not use the mixer in tor, I use .com The site is loading normally, captcha is accepted, everything is fine ... except for the lack of bitcoins.
Please help me with this problem.
Thank you in advance. Sorry for my English.

IF you have javascript disabled you have to click to go to step 2 once your transaction confirms (it says this on the site)...

Try restoring your session from it's token and clicking to go to step 2 and see what happens if your transaction has confirmed.

Edit: transaction is confirmed so jump straight to step 2 and see if it loads.

Thank you for your desire to help, bro. The fact is that I sent all the available bitcoins there, and I had a lot of time over the past 3 days. I tried with javascript turned on and off, tried to click on everything except "delete session". The F5 button almost ran out of frequent clicking to update step 1. I went over all the browsers I have)) Checked every symbol of the wallet address to which I sent the funds ... Nothing helps.
I enjoyed using this mixer many times and I know how it works. At the moment, both sites (tor and clear) are functioning normally, but my session froze waiting for transaction confirmation. In step 1, "we are waiting for confirmation", in step 2 "you have nothing."
In general, I understand that there are difficulties and am ready to wait. The only concern is the silence of official support.

Only 1 day has passed. Wait for a reply (they will answer you).

My bet is that this may have something to do with the recent DDoS attacks. What happens if you send the coins and the website goes down afterwards due to the attack? They can credit you manually tho, so there is nothing to worry about.
