I got one question, do I have to use Electrum wallet, or is using Chipmixer possible with all wallets, desktop wallets as well? I mostly use some brand on desktop.

It's possible to use the service with any wallet, whatever it's a hardware, desktop/android application, or a web wallet...
There is no restriction.

You've probably seen Electrum mentioned several times since it's one of the most popular software, but it's not mandatory

All wallets will work with ChipMixer provided they're using the bitcoin blockchain (eg not binance's bep2 system).

If you can send to an address you can use it. I'd advise caution sending from exchanges like binance and coinbase without going via another wallet or a throwaway account to ensure you're not going to get banned or something. ]

Can someone please tell me how long it takes for Chipmixer to process transfers out?
I sent some coins into their mixer, mixed it and decided to withdrew my entire chips, by sweeping them to a different address. It's been well over an 3 hour and no show on blockchain nor in my wallet.. What's up with that?

You can always withdrawal the chips private-keys and sweep them yourself with a wallet like Electrum. Why don't you try this?

Maybe I will next time, but for now I have already initiated the withdrawal... Funny, 5 hours later and still nothing


Quick edit: I went on to do what you suggested lets see if it works

Mixing works best if you let some time pass anyway. That way it's more difficult to trace back the coins. From ChipMixer FAQ :

You have 7 days to deposit, mix and withdraw private keys. You can extend it for another 7 days if your input transaction is stuck in mempool.

So take your time.

I guess the time-delay is on purpose (to improve privacy), but I can't find what range is used.

Quoting my own post just as a follow up. i imported it into my wallet and that solved the delay issues.
Thanks all

We do sweep every 24 hours.

If you deposit 5 mBTC and after one confirmation you sweep 5 mBTC worth of chips into one address - it is not very private.

An user asked about your (not discontinued) Electrum plugin and if you have a public API, and it looks like the old endpoints are still working. Just a warn in case this is not intended ~edited~.

[jackg]

You might want to send a pm to chipmixer with that link rather than posting it here just in case it gets abused?

Thank you for notification. As responded at that thread:

Electrum plugin was made as a concept to be integrated with Electrum but Electrum programmers were afraid that mixer integration is bad for their reputation.
As it is - plugin is hard to install and ugly. But it works and has quite a few users.

I have a voucher for Chipmixer. Does it matter when it's used to withdraw chips to wallet vs. privacy? What is optimal time, if there is such thing.

I think the research says a random time beyond 7 days.

I'd suggest to just pick a random day after that maybe in the next week or two since getting chips.

If you have multiple chips, you might want to withdraw them individually 3-7 days apart from each other..

Why do I get this when chips imported to Electrum with private keys, trying to use them, get this--

The server returned and error when broadcasting the transaction. Consider to trying to connect to a different server, or updating Electrum.

What version of electrum. Are you running? I think you just need to. Find the network settings fromm the drop down menus and toggle through a few servers..

Version 4.0.3. I got it sent. Toggled with another servers. Thanks for reply.

Possibly caused by a "bad" server that is trying to phish you with fake error messages in an attempt to get you to update to a fake version of Electrum that will steal your coins. As you have discovered, simply manually selecting a different server from the "Network" settings within Electrum will generally fix this sending issue.

NOTE: the "bad" servers cannot steal your coins. They can only try and send fake messages. The exploit has been patched in Electrum since 3.3.4, so that is why you see the generic "unknown error", rather than the message with a download link.

Once you have private keys, you can do anything you want. But it depends on the wallet:
In Electrum, click Coins tab, hold CTRL to select more than one, then click right mouse > Spend.
In Bitcoin Core, go to Settings > Enable coin control features. Then click Send, click Inputs, and choose which ones you want to use.
Other wallets: I don't know
