@ChipMixer: What do you do if someone claims you have stolen Bitcoin from private key you have given. If it is a small amount, it may not have much impact because of the trust you have. But, what happens if it is a large amount? I hope you have already thought about it and have come up with a solution or is working on one! Good luck! By the way, I have sent you a PM! Please reply! Thanks!
Good question. Funds from cannot be stolen, unless you know private key. ChipMixer knows the key, you as a customer knows it and nobody else. Let's assume there was a hacker who somehow got the private key too.
How he got it?
Method 1. Eavesdropping
Customer visited http website? No, it redirects to https and you cannot start mixing with http.
Customer visited https and it was eavesdropped? No, https is encrypted, so private key will also be encrypted.
Customer visited .onion website? It is encrypted, so private key is also encrypted.
Customer visited MITM or forged copycat of ChipMixer? Attacker serves his address and does not give you any chips. Why risk that you will sweep them immediately?
interesting, it reminds me of the long mixer service. their site was spoof on google result, the scammers are using google ads to promote their scam site. if this service get popular there's possibility for this site to have some clone sites which created by the scammer, well this can easily scam people if we search on google for cryptomixer or typo on the address.
On the other hand, this site is unique, bring inovation to the mixing industry, at the first i thought it just another copycat mixing service, but i was wrong, i believe this project will be succesfull.
