While we previously blocked users from countries with over-reaching regulations, new and extensive regulations added to the European Union in January 2020 have made it impossible to reasonably operate Privcoin.io
Privcoin has been not for profit and will donate the remainder of the "profits" made to worthy charities.
We sincerely hope that we have saved several lives by providing privacy services.

ALERT!
Used the service without any problems many times before.
Until the last time. My transaction has been stuck for 2 days at this moment.
Amount received but NOT forwarded to me. For some reason processing is significantly delayed.
I have sent 3 emails already before posting it. And got NO answer.
It says "we aim to respond to all requests within 12 hours" but I'm waiting for more than 40 hours.
Please check your email and resolve that case promtly!
I don't want to believe that this is the end and exit scam of the great service.

if they are legit how come they ended up in these blacklists and have never bothered to report false positives to the given websites or resolve the issue?
I believe they actually tried that (maybe not enough), but no one listened to them.Someone reported about the possible misleaded tag: https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/issues/1598
They commented about this on May 2018 but the repo maintainer only market it with a "needs-more-information" label and nothing have ever happened from both sides.

Service down ?
June 27, 2019, 06:19:27 AM
Answer from staff:
They clear at the moment:
""""
Hello,
All forward transactions with a delay were not processed because the system shuts down if something goes wrong, in this case with someone else's transaction. They are being processed now.
Regards,
PrivCoin.io Support Staff
"""""
So everything worked just fine (by the way i loved the service in the past ;-))

I released a Python 3 library and CLI for privcoin: https://github.com/teran-mckinney/privcoin-python
Just run `pip3 install privcoin` and `privcoin mix --currency bitcoin --output_address 1a....`
Feel free to verify the source.

Admin hasn't answered to post before your, from November 07, 2018. because he wasn't online since November 02. Almost 3 months since he is gone.
I hope that you are not waiting for too much in case that it's lost forever.
I'm having an issue with ChipMixer with amount that is not large for some, but it is for me.
It looks like ChipMixer is also not taking enough care about his site. Rarely online, SSL expiring, chips running out...
Time to move from centralized mixers to Wasabi Wallet...

Hello Privcoin,
I created this account for the sole purpose of posting on the forum for all to view in the future, rather than posting my questions in your support function. I'm apprehensive about a few points and I'd love for you to clarify for me and the rest of us who may be wondering.
Finally, can you tell us anything about how your service is hosted? I'm confused as to how you have a clearnet detached from the onion.
Again and again in your postings and on your website you make statements about the disadvantages of doing business in the United States and yet the vast majority of your English is American dialect. This has me very concerned.
Yes we intend to add that feature. For now, check out something like http://xmr.to
Now this sounds absolutely fascinating! Would you mind open sourcing the tool you've led us to believe you've developed that has allowed you to anlayse injections to the degree you've caught their attack? This raises several questions:
Please tell us more about this incident and how you came to know about the incident.
Finally, will you be publishing some Bug Bounty programme with guidelines for reporting? If there is a vulnerability to report, but without financial motivation, it seems moot.
I asked many questions, some strange and seemingly unrelated, but all with a purpose. I hope you'll answer them all.[/list]

Finally, can you tell us anything about how your service is hosted? I'm confused as to how you have a clearnet detached from the onion.
- Does this mean your clearnet has absolutely no link to your onion?
- Different hosting providers, different countries, and different server architectures to prevent fingerprinting and surely different TTPs to administrate them both?
- If they are hosted on different hosts, then how do you manage to link the databases securely?
Again and again in your postings and on your website you make statements about the disadvantages of doing business in the United States and yet the vast majority of your English is American dialect. This has me very concerned.
- How can your repeated use of Americanisms and American dialect English be explained despite your strong stance against business in the United States?
Is it possible, in future that you will do that example : I pay to your mixer bitcoin, but receive other anonymous coins like monero or Zcash ? whtat will be great pay in one crypto receive other crypto !
thx for answer

Yes we intend to add that feature. For now, check out something like http://xmr.to
- Can you discuss when this feature will be implimented? It's been over a year.

Yes, we'll be adding that. For now check out http://changelly.com
- And just on the next page, you recommend yet another mixer. Why do you continually recommend many different mixers?

Best of luck to Chainalysis tracking your coins if you use multiple addresses and different delays with our service. On more than one occasion we've detected tracking companies trying to inject their coins into our wallets and have taken appropriate counter measures to quarantine those coins. Sometimes we'll just donate their coins to the EFF.
We go the extra mile to protect your privacy.

Now this sounds absolutely fascinating! Would you mind open sourcing the tool you've led us to believe you've developed that has allowed you to anlayse injections to the degree you've caught their attack? This raises several questions:
- You state that you've detected 'tracking companies'. You're saying this is plural, as in more than one. How do you know there's more than one company attacking your mixer?
- How do you know it's not just one company trying different methods?
- Would you be willing to publish a list of their public addresses and any other relevant data?
- You say you've been purging logs, but it seems you're keeping at least some logs, such as in regards to these 'tracking companies'. Is this true?

It came to our attention that some people we hired to market PrivCoin are advertising in places we don't approve of. As of now we are ceasing our relationship with them.
Please tell us more about this incident and how you came to know about the incident.
Finally, will you be publishing some Bug Bounty programme with guidelines for reporting? If there is a vulnerability to report, but without financial motivation, it seems moot.

In response to 1broker domain and charges https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-domain-for-1broker-has-been-seized-by-fbi-5039832
We at PrivCoin first became aware that pure Cryptocurrency may be regulated with KYC laws in the USA after FinCEN director Kenneth Blanco's speech which can be seen at this link https://www.fincen.gov/news/speeches/prepared-remarks-fincen-director-kenneth-blanco-delivered-2018-chicago-kent-block
In it he mentions mixers directly
In response to this speech we blocked all United States users a month ago in a good faith effort not to do business with that country. Since then we have been planning the following updates to make it more clear that Americans are not permitted to use our services.
1) We have moved our FAQ about America near the top. Previously it was near the bottom because it was the most recent thing added. https://www.privcoin.io/faq/
2) We have users now certify they are not from America before each mixing process.
These updates are now deployed on the website.
We have for the last month initiated Geo blocking of all Americans and we are reviewing this technology to see where it can be improved. We are also reviewing more methods for making it clear that Americans cannot use our services.
Thank you for reading.

Further, businesses providing anonymizing services (commonly called “mixers” or “tumblers”), which seek to conceal the source of the transmission of virtual currency, are money transmitters when they accept and transmit convertible virtual currency, and, therefore, have regulatory obligations under the BSA.

"This amount will be forwarded shortly"?
are you serious?
Hello,
Can you PM or email the letter of guarantee? It's a rare bug with ETH when our wallet sometimes tries to double spend from the same wallet if there are many ETH mixes within 5 minutes of each other but not the same time. I am sure if you look at the from address you will see another transaction at the same time.
This issue is resolved and it was a new bug we've never seen.
