A warning about Bitcoin Fog

Here's what happened to me: sent 1 bitcoin from localbitcoins to bitcoin fog and set the withdraw address as one from Helix, and set that to auto-helix to my Tails wallet. The result was only about $8 worth of bitcoin made it to my wallet, all because of bitcoin fog's 6 hour wait rule, and then they discard the address after 10 hours. I'm so pissed! Total waste of time and money. Will never use it again.

BITCOIN FOG / BITCOINFOG / BTCFOG SERIOUS Warning: There have been many, many reports of Bitcoin Fog selectively scamming, and one or more moderators of /r/DarkNetMarkets have also personally lost coins to this service. Furthermore, BitcoinFog's "support" is notoriously unhelpful, and in many cases does not respond to issues whatsoever, or does so in a completely useless way. Although many users have reported they've used BTC Fog without issue, proceed with EXTREME caution (or better, just use a different service). Note that at many points in history, some Fog transactions have taken several days or more to process, so patience is a virtue (although such delays do not exactly reflect well on the service). It is possible that many/most/all of the allegations of selective scamming are actually just long delays. Here are some comments from non-throwaway accounts that claim to have lost money to BTCFog, including some vendors: 1 (archived), 2, 3, 4, 5 (archived), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26...
