A bit later then I left my post their site was again covered by a maintence anouncement. Latel, maybe 24 hours after that or so I was able to log in and at the home page I could see the anouncement, and it's still there, and I let myself quote it
News:
We are currently experiencing technical problems with the payments which might be delayed because of these problems. We are working on fixing the issue. All problems should be resolved and payments restarted latest by May 12 00:00 GMT.
Now maybe 20 minutes ago I logged in again and I can see my coins at the balace which I quikly withdrew to my wallet and I currently can see an incoming transaction.
I'm happy to have my funds back but this situation made me seriously nervous. While I actually kept believing that is't just a technical issue which can happen anywhere and with any electronic service, still I was nervous because a bitcoin world especially when you are dealing with anonimous darknet serveces is something where you can not have sufficient garanties.
What I think of whole this situation now. I'm really upset and dissapointed why these guys don't maitain their own thread at these forum to which leads a link from their own website and they are marked as "believed to be scamers" here. While at least for me it occurs that they actually do their job, beside that this lats time I had a delay but finally it's all good. They are pioneers in these business if they actually don't selectively scam anyone why don't they give a crap to maintain their reputation? Do they own other services and as for this one they just keep it floating or are they that much rich that they don't actually care how much clients will stay with them considering that many call them a scam. Or are they such tough mfs that they think that they were first and they earned a steel reputation so they don't bother themselves to lower down to comment on that at this thread if just one, two or fifteen single guys report they had problems . Just not understanding why if they are actually honest guys.
Now why I actually ignored all these negative messages at the end of these thread. First of all they are not so many in the last 2-3 years range. If they actually did selectively scamed some people I would expect there would be not 15 but hundreds of negative messages, why would they risk their reputation scaming just s few people what's the profit they would have just not sure.
The next thing if they actually wanted to scam people they would rather exit scam and take all the funds they have in their pool. For me it rather seems that someone could just simly be fished googling for a Bitcoin Fog link and trying to log in into one of the scamres website, after which his password was changed by a acamers script on the actual site thus he can not log in to the actual site. So just logically for me it doesn't seem that these guys are scamers,but maybe I don't understand something. On the other hand if these guys are not scamers why don't they care about their let me say marketing at all? How are they going to keep their clients or aren't they then why?
I only adwise everyone who actually desides, first try to procced a minimum amount through then deal with larger amounts. Use only this link
http://foggeddriztrcar2.onion which is the only one provided by the service's owners and beware there are a lot of clone sites which can have the similar or same design or even might have the same beginning of the name of the site like foggedSOMETHING.onion Just copy the correct url somwhere or even remember it and if the site is down don't google or look for another link somwhere in the internet, unless the link in the first message of these thread is changed by the topicstarter.
And you, Bitcoin Fog, owners should do something to maintain your reputation unless you don't care about your this business at all. And if you actually don't care just anounce you are going to close your service and close it. Like if you don't maintain even this your own thread why would people trust you if your servise is stable and that you maintan your security and everything well wich is way more comblicated that post on the forum. Isn't that obvious?
These guys a pioneers for sure, I want to believe that they are not scamers but some smart professionals who for some unknown reason don't bother themselfs to restore their reputation. I like the oldschool lightweight design of the site, I like is's simplicity, I've been with Bitcoin Fog for like 3 or even 4 years actually mixing seldomly some small amounts of coins. I'm just not sure guys why you let it be like this if you are a decent. Did you forgot your password to this forum of what?
Then you can just sign a message with you PGP key from another account. Or what's the problem? Is it that you can not post because you can not enable javascript and go though captcha?
Seriously I'm trying to get it why you keep working and maintaining your service and don't bother to handle this thread for like 4 years or something like that. It's not that I can not or don't want to use any other service, but it's more of dissapointment why one day one of the first or maybe even first bitcoin service which is if not legend then is definitely a history for many old folks now lets it's reputation sink. Why once a good thing has to be wasted for no reason.
I actally spent a while and it cost me some nerves and it also cost me around 4$ to enable posting on this forum, which suxx and I'm really dissapointed by that. Why would someone log in from clearnet to post in a bitcoin tumler thread, seriously? It also took me some effort to fudge these two messages describing the sittuation and sharing my own conclusions about your service because I'm obviously not a native english speaker. I mean if you guys ever spend time to view through your thead and think my honest review deserves something I won't mind a little appreciation. I don't beg money for a positive review, first of all it's a honest review. Hope that doesn't brake any rules of this forum
And you guys who still use Bitcoin For rather wound share you experiences on this thread, dealing with how hard it's to register and be able to log in through Tor here going through captcha several times and then clicking "new identity" since it'sreally hard to get loggedin through Tor, at least for the first time when it used to say to me that my ip is bad and switching to new identity might help. Share your both negative and positive experiences, that's how we will help each other to decide wether to trust this servece or not.
Right now while like 2 hours later since I started to type this message my coins are in my wallet with more than 9 confirmations.
Peace to everyone
