For two days I have been unable to load the blockchain send anon page. Everytime I try the tor browser freezes. Anyone else having this problem/know how to fix it?

Why are you accessing the blockchain account on Tor?
There's nothing wrong with the purchase of Bitcoins. They're totally legal.

They may be legal, but I didn't acquire them legally ;)
Seems the consensus is the blockchain mixer is no more. RIP

Ah right.
In that case, take a look at Bitcoin Fog Company, I think it's called.
-
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Do you know anything more about it:
- is there a "solution" to keep on sending BTC's anonymously from Blockchain?
- will this function come back or was it shut down permanently?
- if it will come back: any idea when?
I've seen some people writing about "clearing your cache", but for me it didn't help...
aNyOnE ?

I don't think the Blockchain guys have made any kind of announcement yet, so who knows whether or not it is down permanently. Also, in the meantime, check out Bitcoin Fog.

Both the link to the anonymizer, and the option to "Send Anonymously" from with a wallet, are gone, I think they killed the service.

Thx 4 the reply.
I've been trying to work with Bitcoin Fog since yesterday,
but for some reason when I try to send my BTC's to my Bitcoin Fog wallet,
I get an error: "invalid to address … "
thus, I haven't been able to send any BTC's to Bitcoin Fog yet...
anyone knows what's happening over there?
I never had problems sending BTC's before...?
Also, honestly - is it worth going threw all the fuss...
some people on this forum seem to write that it doesn't give you real extra safety to work with "blockchain anonymous" or "bitcoin fog". They write that it can be just as safe when you buy BTC's and transfer them to your SR wallet...

After keeping an up to date blockchain on my computer for so long, and having several problems with the related files being coorrupted, I made the switch to lightweight bitcoin clients, namely, Electrum, which connects your personal wallet to a server (there are many server hosts and it connects to the most appropriate one based on your connection that maintains the blockchain data remotely.) The wallet that you have as a hard file still acts as the only way of access to your coins. There is a private QR code that you can copy that is a seed of your wallet that you can keep as backup to generate your wallet (you still need to remember your passphrase.

Thx 4 your reply,
but the question was regarding "blockchain.info" - the website that used to offer "anonymous" transactions as a feature...
not regarding the bitcoin wallet.
Am I the only one having problems using "Bitcoin Fog"?
What alternative ways of getting your BTC's anonymously on SR do you use?
-
Bitcoin Fog hasn't had any issues that I know of recently -- what problems are you experiencing?

I tried to send my BTC's from blockchain.info - that didn't work, even after entering the ocde of the bitcoinfog wallet manually,
then I tried to send some from a Bitcoin-QT wallet, same problem.
I don't seem to be able to send any BTC's to the wallet address that was given to me on bitcoin fog - so I tried to make another address in bitcoin fog and tried it all again, with the same result...
I've found some people saying that not all walletsystems can send to bitcoin fog, but it sounds strange to me that both blockchain.info and bitcoin-QT don't send to bitcoin fog... ?

But there's no way for a site to identify an address as belonging to a specific website ... so I don't understand why that is happening to you ...

neither do I ...

What do you mean by "not being able to send coins"?
Maybe you haven't let enough confirmations pass for Bitcoin Fog to display the coins? SR is like that too, it doesn't show you balance without enough confirms.

Nop, that's not the problem either - since my first attempt more than 48h have passed and still:
nothing left my wallets (not blockchain.info, nor QT) and nothing entered my Bitcoin Fog.

Looks like their mixer is back up, at a different address: [CLEARNET!]
https://blockchain.info/wallet/send-shared
They also lowered the fee to 0.5%
