Congrats and another site for Indians to buy/sell btc.

-Where can I find on website who all are involved in this?

- Also your price is exactly at par with Zebpay and Unocoin. If this will persists in near future as well so why will people leave Zebpay/Unocoin which is registered couple of year back. Foe Sunday who require it may use your site. As they would also be focusing now on quick withdrawals

- So are you also planning to launch signature campaign in coming time so spread the word across forum?

Above data looks consistent. But, why the site mentions Product of Defacto Technolgies Pvt. Ltd. and Powered by OneRoof Technologies LLP? If Pocketbits.in is formally registered as Defacto Technologies Pvt Ltd, then what's the purpose of OneRoof Technologies LLP?

Thank you very much.


We will be updating our about us page with our teammembers involved soon.

Our price is at par with them as of now due to the high Volatility today, we aim to keep the lowest spreads without any fees.

as far as quick withdrawals is concerned, yes they will catch up. But our main motto is to provide quality customer service with better spreads and more ways to use bitcoin in India and increase adoption.


Signature campaigns are there in our plans, but we will implement it properly in the coming days and not rush onto it.

Any suggestions whether good or bad are always welcome, we are not building a service, we are building a community.

Glad to see another bitcoin trading platform.I hope a healthy competition will help making bitcoin more popular among masses in India.
How is buy products with bitcoin from Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal and
Myntra going to work?
Have you made these sites accept bitcoin or will you take buy order for them,receive payment in bitcoin,convert into inr and pay them?

Thank you for the Kind words.

We would certainly like to integrate with those platforms directly but our Merchant Services are under development, which shall be live by next month.
We will start integrating with all online businesses and not just eCommerce stores.

Right now our service works with us being the Third Party placing the orders on the users behalf and accepting bitcoins on our side of the transaction.

Our Point of Sale App and Merchant Gateway will hopefully help all businesses whether big or small to accept bitcoins without any settlement delays and 0% volatility risk.

Thank You, well the response has been better then expected.
We had some reservations as we had launched a Beta and not a complete platform, hence we didn't expect such and influx of response from the Bitcoin Industry in India. But we were blown away with the appreciation and support we have received from the community.


As far as volume is concerned, which is you next question in this thread, our stats are as follows:

Current Users: 451

Total Volume 179.7514

* This data is from our launch date 08/02/2017 to 15/03/2017 12am IST

We hope to launch our complete platform with all the features in a couple of months.

Current Bitcoin prices on your site:
BTC BUY RATE :  177489   BTC SELL RATE :  163217

Do you think a spread of Rs.14272 is acceptable? Your exchange is new, what makes you think people will use your exchange if they are getting ripped off like this? If you want business, you need to lower the spreads to 1k or less. If you can offer instant INR deposit/withdrawal, then you can keep higher spreads. Either way you need to offer something better than existing players if you want people to use your exchange.

Just signed up on their site. Submitted my KYC on 12:15 AM and they rejected my KYC (due to my fault) at 12:25 AM. Took them 10 mins to check my KYC. Would be verified in 10 mins if I hadn't made a mistake. Damn!

Would definitely try the shop with bits feature tomorrow.

Was kinda weird that they didn't ask for an address proof or something.

indian govt portal has way to verify pan card details online so it cant be forge... also paypal use same

also i think pocketbits is going shitty now days its started as fast solution to buy and sale now days withdrawals takes days to complete,
also my personal exp is very bad lately on friday i started request for withdrawal of 65k and then again on monday i sold bitcoins and raised one more request of 135k after waiting one more day i started
live chat with them and asked why 65k didn't transferred yet after 10-15 mins , they said its been cancelled and please raise one request i was like wtf is this ? on there website its clearly written if
multiple request is less then 50k it will be rejected but they rejected 2 transactions above 66k and 135k , bcoz i raised them within 3 days , and then i forced to raised 200k request again its completely unacceptable tbh
