Who is the owner the exchange?

because here:


does not have relevant information and how can we confirm that your exchange is from nigeria?

Hello, this is the owner of the exchange introducing the exchange here: https://medium.com/guavaexchange/introducing-guava-58a523f64cec

The company is registered in Nigeria. You can research the name here: http://publicsearch.cac.gov.ng/ComSearch/index.php. Search for Guava Digital Assets

Any other questions, you can go ahead and ask. Thanks

Is it? I found some info about your site
And also the IP registered is from Germany? So who is the real owner.

No social engagement,No contact details and site with estimated worth of $9,so I won't deposit any money here.

And where did you get all this information from, please? I already provided the link where the owner introduced the exchange himself: https://medium.com/guavaexchange/introducing-guava-58a523f64cec

The company is registered in Nigeria and caters to Nigerians. The Exchange is only one arm of the business. The company also engages in the education of Nigerians about cryptoassets.

The social media channels for the exchange are:
Twitter: https://twitter.com/guavaexchange
Facebook: https://twitter.com/guavaexchange

The contact details of the company are on Google Business. Search for Guava Exchange on Google you will see the contact and address details of the business there.

Thank you

Also, to assure you of the security of your assets, the Exchange has two authentification procedures: Google Auth and Email Auth. There are very few exchanges in Nigeria that offer such protection.

There are other security measures that the Exchange has put in place, you can read more here: https://guava.africa/en/security

PS: I wonder where you saw the estimated cost of the site though.

I found those information here (https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/guava.africa) which maybe accurate with most of the sites.

Having 2 factor authentification doesn't ensure full securtiy to our funds it can only restrict the suers from login to accounts.

Still not enough social engagement on twitter and medium so in my opinion still it is ricky to deposit.

I just went to the link you suggested now, and it says the site is safe to use. I already gave you the physical address of the company itself too.

The Exchange is new, so you can't expect that much engagement on social channels yet.

If you searched for one of the biggest crypto exchanges in Nigeria on scamadviser like Luno. You'll see that their servers are also not located in Nigeria. Because you run an exchange in Nigeria doesn't mean your server has to be there. Nigeria doesn't even have the infrastructure to accommodate that.

Now I see that you are the owner of exchange

But your exchange has a low volume and is not listed in the coinmarketcap, I suggest you browse the altcoins section and list good altcoins, because then you will start to have customers.

here is the altcoins section:

Announcements (Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0)

Thank you very much. I agree we have low volume for now but that's because we just launched. We want to focus on Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple for now. However, we would be adding new assets in the coming weeks (these are exciting assets that we also believe in). Trust I'll keep you informed about our development in the coming weeks. And we are already working on getting listed on CoinMarketCap too.

Do inform your Nigerian friends about us  ;) :)

Cheers

I am from Africa and in my country there are many Nigerians, but I doubt that any of those Negerians who are in my country ever heard of bitcoin or about exchanges. I suppose less than 2% of people in my country know about bitcoin and exchanges. unfortunately cryptos are not yet widely used worldwide and in African countries wiil be very difficult for cryptos to be accepted by governments

Yeah, there are still so many people in African countries who haven't heard about bitcoin before. And I think bitcoin is most beneficial for us here in Africa because of the inefficient financial system we still have. I think the challenge is to get more people educated about how to safely use bitcoin and other crypos. I believe the government might not have a choice but to accept it if a lot of merchants and people start accepting cryptocurrencies. 

Hi there, my name is Enitan Williams and I am the CEO of Guava, I can assure you we are a legitimate and properly registered business.  I would like to address the questions you have raised:

1. It is not uncommon for web platforms to host applications/websites in a different locale from which the business is registered, I think most people understand that.
2. We do have a valid SSL cert - This can easily be verified by visiting our site https://guava.africa . We use a very reputable service provider (COMODO).
3. Even the largest corporations start from humble beginnings, we may not have the social following of Coinbase right now, but we are working on it :-). Having said that, we do have a facebook page with over 9000 likes from actual people (potential users in Nigeria).

Feel free to give us a try.
