Title: PSA: Becareful of imposters on forum boards Post by: richiela on March 23, 2014, 01:19:06 AM There is a user going by 'bittrex' that is signing off their message with "Bittrex Team" that is completely unrelated to our exchange. Please be weary whenever people make contact with you over forum boards.

You made a post on the ann thread that you were giving away free coins? So i asked you for some and you gave them to me , so thank you :) Im in no way affiliated with HCK or Bittrex , i just wanted free coins :D Thank you!

Please accept my apology if I have made a mistake. I put your name there is because you are the 1st member who quickly posted to against my post for not listing HKC in Reddit of Coinedup. Upon your request and clarification, I removed your name in the list. ;D Title: Re: PSA: Becareful of imposters on forum boards Post by: PaQit on March 25, 2014, 09:55:49 AM All good buddy :)
Well at that time it was just you talking bad about the coin , so i appologize as well. Thank you :D Title: Re: PSA: Becareful of imposters on forum boards Post by: cryptobuddy on March 25, 2014, 10:26:05 AM same like poloniex and poloniex-team be careful with impersonating user, they are scammer! I have just got a clarification from Poloniex (real one) that those Poloniex and Poloniex-team in Bitcointalk are fake. They were created on 21 March 2014 and 22 March 2014. Almost at the same of the fake "Bittrex" created by HongKongCoin dev team. Here is the reply from Poloniex https://i.imgur.com/UuEo00o.png Title: Re: PSA: Becareful of imposters on forum boards Post by: majorminers on March 25, 2014, 10:48:14 AM Why is my name included here ?

Upon your request and clarification, I removed your name in the list. ;D Apologize to me too - scumbag. I replied to the 'fake account' in the thread because I assume it was someone from Bittrex. HKC is listed on Bittrex and the user's name was 'Bittrex.' I didn't take any time to investigate the user's origin - because why would I? I made one or two casual and polite replies because I thought they were updating the thread. Replying to an account does not make you that person. Besides, I don't see what possible advantage this fake account could have given anyone and I wouldn't waste one second of my time on childish crap like this. You need to grow up and get on with your own life.

You have also repeatedly said I was Chinese (even though I'm not). You'll do best if you just stick with sane posts. I agreed with you last night when you found the Bittrex thing. I don't agree that means we know who is using the fake account, but good catch finding it.

The following is what you have said in HKC ANN thread: Any idea with this coin will be listed on coinmarketcap? BTW, can you think of any other places you would like to see this coin listed? Some people are still sleeping on HKC and they need to be aware it's out there. Poloniex would seem like the next logical step for the coin. It's still a small exchange, but not as small as Bittrex. A lot of nation coins seem to 'graduate' to there before then moving to larger exchanges.

If that is enthusiasm to you, I guess you have no emotions. I was stating where a coin logically would go to after Bittrex. And as I have stated in several threads here, I find nation coins sort of silly, unless it has an infrastructure behind it. The main reason I even posted in that thread was because I found their faucet idea interesting... and then because you went into nutty troll mode.
