Any one have any news on how to retrieve the bitcoins deposited to chip mixer….. or can we claim our assets to German Authorities.

Another development, searching for "chipmixer" on google doesn't provide any of the previous scam sites in the results.
I'm just seeing more and more news articles on Google at the moment. No new info anywhere though yet. Nothing says anyone was arrested, just servers and Bitcoin seized.

Only press release I can find at the moment: https://www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/newsroom/news/one-of-darkwebs-largest-cryptocurrency-laundromats-washed-out
1900 BTC seized and 7TB of data. Chipmixer was supposed to not keep much data, and I really can't imagine they did. Hopefully (and probably??) not identifying data.

This is quite disturbing. I would have assumed the servers were located somewhere beyond the reach of European and US authorities. According to that article, 1,909.4 bitcoins were also seized along with the servers. The way chipmixer was operated would suggest that the bitcoin and the data would be more secure than that, so I hope the article is wrong.
At least now, with some relative certainty, we can put to rest the accusation that Chipmixer was a NSA honeypot.

And I love the use of "suggest, may, possibility" when mentioning every single thing.
The claim "A large share of this is connected to darkweb markets ...." is the opposite of any other (actual) research on mixers I've seen in the past.Holy shit...
Indeed!

Well, at least they acknowledge something:
I was about to say the same, but there are 4 servers mentioned, I imagine 2 TB of those would be nodes?
7TB seems too much even if they were logging every chip. Honestly no idea what that could be.

Hi …. Chipmixer is seized by German police…. What about chips that were in process of mixing.
I wouldn't get your hopes up too high.

TOR site is actually seized too. A notice pops up once you start clicking through a little bit.

Oh...https://i.ibb.co/9njVcXr/Chip-Mixer.png
Actually some trolling by the agents.

Damn, actually not a troll. ChipMixer.com was seized.
The TOR website is still up and running, though.
A reminder that chipmixer.com (clearnet) wasn't operating as a mixer for some time. All it did was link people to the actual mixer which runs solely through Tor.

Yeah, the government gestapo won't be able to seize the TOR site, they would need access to the chipmixer server for that. Obviously they wouldn't be able to do that. With all the corruption and censorship being attempted by the FED these days, TOR will likely be our only option going forward.

Damn, actually not a troll. ChipMixer.com domain was seized.
The TOR website is still up and running, though.
P.S: A reminder that chipmixer.com (clearnet domain) wasn't operating as a mixer for some time. All it did was link people to the actual mixer which runs solely through Tor.
Also, it's quite trivial to seize a clearnet domain since they are centralized, so that doesn't mean ChipMixer's operator was captured (otherwise tor would be down as well).

Clearnet site says seized... wow. TOR site still looks normal?

the site is up again ty

seem the site is not up yet, is everyone know how long usually down, have fund need to use

I also can't connect to it, how long it's offline for might depend on what took them offline in the first place. The last time it needed admin intervention I think it took just a few days for it to be fully functioning again - if it's a ddos or automated attack it'll likely come back sooner.

You can use ChipMixer anyway you want, but my suggestion is to try and avoid using them in combination with big centralized exchanges.
There are even cases of people sending coins to Binance and Coinbase without any issues, but I heard cases of frozen and lost coins, so it can be a risk.
The problem is that there is no proof so far that any of those cases have been because of the use of ChipMixer. Exchanges tend to be somewhat secretive about why they steal your funds. Correlation doesn't mean causation.There are even cases of people sending coins to Binance and Coinbase without any issues, but I heard cases of frozen and lost coins, so it can be a risk.
There are reports of people getting their funds confiscated without use of mixers, just because of 'suspicious activity'. As I said, the exchanges are usually very vague and don't really tell you if it was the use of a mixer that they didn't like, or what happened to the 'coin' before it was sent to the mixer, or something else entirely.
That's why I keep saying: such services are not reliable as business partners, therefore I advise avoiding them.

What does the community think of when it is appropriate to use ChipMixer? What is the best way to reduce risk while taking all parties on the other end of the chain, who may not be focusing on decentralization and privacy? Does the team have official responses to these questions?

If you are using coins from ChipMixer for direct payment or for trading with someone p2p you should be just fine with almost everything.
is it the site is down?
It's down for me as well.I suspect that is because of constant ddos attacks, but I am sure the are working to fix this so just be patient and wait for official CM reply.
