Bitmixer.io is already out of service.
They left a huge blank space to fill and scams popped up like mushrooms.
Users should research a bit before falling into any scam.
Topic: bitmixer.io - Waiting more than 6 hours of mixing - NEED HELP (Read 1400 times)
I hope they will sell their service to other people. They were best mixer on the market.
It seems that more and more phishing sites have appear more often nowadays and the scammers are even willing to fork out money to advertise in google ads, I guess that is one of the main reason that users overlook that the site is a phishing site since it appears in the top page of google.
what is a good service to use now when this one no longer exists?
I would wait for some time until the waters settle.
It's very sad to see bitmixer go.
Unfortunately they've shut that mixer down actually
That was quick. I respect anyone that is looking to start his own service, but with so many scam attampts, it's very difficult not to be harsh on anything that freshly pops up. The weird part that got me a bit thinking is that he some times was talking about his own service, but mentioned bitmixer.io instead. It could be him just being confused, but we don't know that.If Chipmixer does the Chipmixer Lite thing they were talking about, perhaps they could take part of that market as well.
I suggested it in the main ChipMixer thread one or two weeks ago, that this would be a helpful addition as people like the simplicity of how Bitmixer's service was doing its job. I seriously see no reason as to why ChipMixer wouldn't end up doing this. (1) it will offer people a decent bit of more convenience. (2) probably the most important aspect for ChipMixer, they will exponentially grow their operations, and thus potential income. In other words, there are no cons to this. Bitmixer left a massive gap behind, and something needs to fill it - ChipMixer has the best position right now. Cluster2k is considering to continue bitmixer's operation. We might see it come back in the future.
The person you are referring to has launched his own mixer, but with the .co SLD.As the OP correctly says:
I'm in no need to scam anyone and I was just trying to offer a service with a recognisable brand like name. I'm not stealing anything to anyone.
If bitmixer.io would still be active I would have never started the project.
There's no point comparing an actual phishing site pretending to be bitmixer.io to a new mixer which uses the same system as Bitmixer.If bitmixer.io would still be active I would have never started the project.
They were just trying to appeal to people who used Bitmixer in the past by offering a similar system. If Chipmixer does the Chipmixer Lite thing they were talking about, perhaps they could take part of that market as well.

No. Bitmixer.io was very clear when stating what his reason was to shut down all operations. Whether or not he was forced to shut down by authorities, or did it himself without anyone putting pressure on him, that doesn't matter. The person you are referring to has launched his own mixer, but with the .co SLD. This has nothing to do with Bitmixer.io. Seriously, who would trust a freshly popped up mixer trying to ride on the Bitmixer brand name? I wouldn't even mix a single satoshi there.

You can also try Bitblender website, official website is Bitblender.io so there is no misunderstanding like it happened with Bitmixer. This is not an isolated case, many other scammers did the same with the blockchain.info wallet, they just changed a letter and everyone who clicked the phishing link got their bitcoin vanished in no time.
Its unfortunate that unscrupulous individuals will have to exploit situations like this and that's one needs to ensure he double checks whatever site he is visiting at any point in time. I expected the administrator of bitmixer,io to have stayed longer so as to keep the thread of stopping business live for a larger coverage in other to prevent situations like this but at the same time, you are responsible for yourself and the responsibility is on you to check and check again.
A click on my signature will give you a safe and wonderful mixing experience.

This same scammer is also running helixlight.us with google ads
He is from lithuiana.
He is from lithuiana.
So many addresses from scammers trying to impersonate this legendary service which unfortunately closed shop a few days ago. There is also fault on google allowing such sites without doing some research at first, probably google have no time to check everything who appears in their ads in first page but still they have a good part of the fault. The users should be very careful when dealing with every mixer, as scammers have attempted to impersonate other mixers too before.
How do these scammers do this so successfully? So they replicate the real site with an almost-identical URL. But how do they get it indexed on Google's search page?
They are paying Google to show their ads, making them to be the first option when you search for Bitmixer.People will just trust the first link they see, and believe that the website is indeed legit.
Another one BITMIXUR.IO
Just replacing E with all the 26 alphabets. Reported it to Google.
You have to be active here to read all news or look better when open websites, bitmixer is closed and on their website you can't deposit.
If you want to use safe mixer, I can suggest you these:
Cryptomixer is very similar of bitmixer, only different template so it's easy to mix coins and they are safe.
Or you can try chipmixer, it's a little different and hard at first but very good for anonimity (they have some options of coin withdraw).
Also bitblender is very good AFAIK but I have never tried.

Pretty much sure you did not use the correct domain of bitmixer because you wouldn't even have initiated this transaction in the first place because its closed, and for your own information the real bitmixer always generated letter of guarantees as some form of proof which i doubt you have....

Damn it's really a shame that google fell for this and let their users get scammed. I hope it gets taken down from their ad service soon and I hope they report them to the authorities since I assume it must be possible to track them down through the domain name.
Go here https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en
And report these 2 URLs
http://bitmixcr.io/
http://bitmixor.io/

Thanks for that. Is it possible to report the ad to Google? If yes, how?
I saw this in google https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/176378?hl=en
And maybe it can help to kick the account of scammer from adwords and remove the ads in google..
This is not a good ads honestly they can scam more people if this is still in the google ads. .
