The only reference I could find by @ChipMixer is stating chipmixer.io is not their main domain. But there is nothing stating that the .io version does not belong to them, so I am assuming that ChipMixer.io is, in fact, owned and controlled by @ChipMixer

They probably do own chipmixer.io but, if they do, it's probably just to stop anyone from doing a phishinng attempt with the domain name.
I think .IO needs less information than .COM does when it's registered.

This being said, I wouldn't advise using anything other than the official chipmixer.com and the official .onion domain names as using anything else would just be foolish. They may have the .io name in case they need to move from .com if they get DDoS attacks on the main site.

(chipmixer.net and chipmixer.org appear to be owned but parked also - not sure who owns those).

Well, chipmixer has stated only two official links.
Clearnet link: ChipMixer.com
Tor link: ChipMixerwzxtzbw.onion
We can assume other domain names are fake, phishing site in order to scam people.
People have to be careful of such attempt, and we can help to spread the word.
Maybe:

Beware of copycats, make sure to visit the right link.
Clearnet link: ChipMixer.com
Tor link: ChipMixerwzxtzbw.onion

Thank you Chip Mixer for both clarifications here!

It would be nice to see segwit incorporated at some point also but maybe is a little too soon and would be difficult to offer people the choice (as some people still like to use legacy).

Thanks for the response!

It seems that you don't understand the basics of the blockchain... It is, by design, a completely public ledger, that records "transfer of value" from one ore more public key(s) to one or more other public key(s).

To be able to transfer value from any given public key... you need to be able to sign a transaction. The only way to successfully generate a valid signature is with the private key that matches the public key. The asymmetric cryptographic properties of a signed transaction allow anyone to validate that the signature provided matches the public key, thus proving that the person has access to the private key and is therefore the "owner"... WITHOUT needing to know the private key.

As value is moved from one address to another, you can follow the chain of transactions... from AddressA -> AddressB -> AddressC etc etc... You can see that the value moved from A to C (via B)

People use mixers, so they can then do this:

AddressA -> AddressB -> MixingServiceAddressX
... chain broken ...
MixingServiceAddressY -> AddressC

The idea is to "break the chain" such that AddressA can no longer be linked through to AddressC... With no direct link between MixingServiceAddressX and MixingServiceAddressY, you can't (easily) link A to C...

All of the convoluted things you are attempting (or think that you need to do) are unnecessary if you put the coins into a service like ChipMixer... it takes care of breaking the chain so that addresses used PRIOR to the coins being sent to the mixing service are no longer directly linked to addresses used AFTER the coins are withdrawn from the mixing service.

In ChipMixer's case, the majority of the private keys are actually funded well BEFORE you even send coins to the mixing service... which makes it even harder to track the flow. As you coins are effectively time travelling


NOTE: Mixing services are not 100% effective... Advanced analytics companies exist that can still determine movement through mixers to a certain degree. If you REALLY need full anonymity, better to use a privacy focused blockchain like Monero etc.

Hi, I need some support please... I transferred to the given deposit address and I have already 12 confirmations on Blockchain, but the funds have not yet arrived on the mixer? "Waiting for confirmed transaction."
I contacted support but no reply so far, would really appreciate some assistance.

Same issue, transfered today at it still says Waiting for confirmed transaction. Please refresh page.
If you have javascript enabled, page will autorefresh every 30 seconds.

The transaction has already 6 confirms.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I have refreshed the page and tried a different browser (Tor, Chrome). I have used chipmixer quite a few times and this is the first time I have experienced any issue. Any more suggestions? Currently on 29 confirmations

Yes, had tried with chrome and IE. Looks really like a server-side problem.

Having same issue.. server side.. issue
