How to proceed?
You need to report at least one of the domain names listed below.
This is generally done by e-mail, so you'll need to include our e-mail address (support@exch.cx) in CC (this is mandatory to claim the reward).
If the abuse report is sent via website - the auto-generated email reply with ticket/case ID must be forwarded to support@exch.cx.

If you want to make reports and to receive a reward, you need first to reply to this thread with your BTC address.

Does this apply to all phishing domains impersonating eXch?
No, the domain must first be approved by our team, and therefore must be included in the list below. Otherwise, reports from unlisted domains, although appreciated, will not lead to a reward. If you've found a phishing domain that isn't listed here, please let us know (by sending us an email or creating a ticket via our support service https://exch.cx/support).
It is obvious that our team will analyze the domains that are reported to us, so creating new ones in order to abuse the rewards will not be possible. We only consider to add new domains when they're older than 6 months.


Will I earn a reward? If so, how much and what are the eligibility requirements?
eXch offers a reward of 0.1 BTC per domain suspended.
This reward will be shared between the different users who efficiently reported the domain (once again we insist on the necessity to put our email in CC or to forward us the ticket/case ID).
We consider a domain to be fully suspended when it is offline for more than 1 month. Rewards will not be distributed outside these conditions.
Once a domain has been suspended, eXch will take the time necessary to check the various reports, and will reward users accordingly.

Evo ideja, napravis svoju phishing stranicu, i sam sebe prijavis :D
Sta moze biti? I ak imas neki avs docker deploy, samo ih stancas nekoliko i prijavljujes :D

Vidim doduse da nisu stavili neki mimimalni rank koji je potreban da prijavis, sto ce sigruno privuci abusere ali valjda im je prioritet da sto vise ljudi prijavi phishing stranice pa su spremni to tolerirati  Ili su mozda zaboravili staviti to u pravila.

Koja korist prijavljivati stranice za koji oni vec znaju? Po meni ideja ovakvog necega bi bilo da nadju one za koje neznaju, jer ako vec znaju za njih, vjerojatno su i pokrenuli postpupak da ih maknu.
A ove nove koje se rade svako malo, te su one opasne imo

Ma dobro, ja samo hocu reci, da ako napravim phising site, recimo eXch.drek i platim google ads, kad netko googla eXch, moje ce mu .drek izac na prvom mjestu gore (jer je sponsored) i ekipa ce kliknut i potencijano nasjest na phishing.

Ali dobro, valjda znaju sta rade

Vidim doduse da nisu stavili neki mimimalni rank koji je potreban da prijavis, sto ce sigruno privuci abusere ali valjda im je prioritet da sto vise ljudi prijavi phishing stranice pa su spremni to tolerirati  Ili su mozda zaboravili staviti to u pravila.

Vjerovatno nisu ni mislili na to. Sigurno nemaju iskustva sa kampanjama na Bitcointalku pa im nije ni palo na pamet da će neko kreirati alt accounte i raditi prijave koristeći više e-mail adresa.

Koja korist prijavljivati stranice za koji oni vec znaju?

Kako nemaju iskustva na forumu?
Davno postoji eXch kampanja koju im vodi icopress, i siguran sam da i ovu anti-phishing kampanju rade uz njegovu pomoć.

Nemaju iskustva u vođenju kampanja. Kako si i sam rekao, icopress vodi njihovu kampanju. On ima iskustva. Vrlo moguće je da su se s njim posavjetovali kad su pokrenuli ovu a možda i rade stvari na svoju ruku za promjenu. icopress je dobio notifikaciju kad si mu spomenuo ime a dobit će je i sad i može napisati nešto u vezi toga ako želi.

A nisu ni stavili da svi koji se prijave sigurno dobijaju Bitoin nagradu ;)

Istina, ali rang nije stavljen kao uvjet te takodjer onda ne bi trebao biti razlog da se ne dobije nagrada.

S obzirom da ih icopress ocigledno savjetuje jer im vodi i kampanju ne sumnjam da znaju sto rade, samo mi je eto nedostatak tog pravila malo cudno jer znamo da se na bitcointalka abusa sve sto se moze abusati. Cisto malo razmisljam na glas.

Mislim da se vode time da se napravi sto veci pritisak na izdavatelje domena, a sto vise mailova se posalje to je veci pritisak i prije ce ukinuti phishing domene...

Da, to je najvjerojatniji razlog izostanka tog pravila. A i sa time je ova kampanja svojevrsni honeypot jer su vec poceli hvatati altove koji se prijavljuju.

Svaki put kad vidim da netko spominje phishing, odmah se sjetim kako sam ja svojevremeno popusio sav bitcoin koji sam imao. Fakat je dovoljna sekunda nepaznje i ode lova...

Evo i mali update ako neko nije pratio zvanicni thread ove kampanje.
Objedinio sam sve poznate cinjenice o dva domena registrovana kod Namecheap i objavio na https://NamecheapScamExpose.info

Izdvojio bih ucenjivacki PM iz kojeg se jasno vidi namera i najverovatnije ista osoba (ili osobe) je iza svih gore navedenih domena. Takodje i razlog zasto exch insistira na suspenziji domena, a ne hostinga.

Almost all of you know that eXch started as a project aimed at demonstrating to the community that alternatives can exist during times when there were none. We have never had any financial goals with this project and rather, we conducted an experiment that was unexpectedly successful.

Recently, we received confirmation of information we had previously, thanks to some friends we have even in the state intelligence sector, that our project is the subject of an active transatlantic operation aimed at forcibly shutting our project down and prosecuting us for "money laundering and terrorism."

Even though we have been able to operate despite some failed attempts to shutdown our infrastructure (attempts that have also been confirmed to be part of this operation), we don't see any point in operating in a hostile environment where we are the target of SIGINT simply because some people misinterpret our goals. Starting from the date of the merger with a new management team this month, and as a result of some urgent meetings, the majority of us voted to cease and retreat instead of going against strong winds, because none of us want to cause any harm to innocent people or this forum.

The goals we certainly never had in mind were to enable illicit activities such as money laundering or terrorism, as we are being accused of now. We also have absolutely no motivation to operate a project where we are viewed as criminals. This doesn't make any sense to us.

Originally, we were just a team of privacy enthusiasts with main areas of interest quite distant from cryptocurrency, where we saw the absolutely unfair happenings. This project was an attempt to restore balance in this industry.

Our project has demonstrated that an instant exchange done properly can be more effective than any centralized mixer in terms of privacy, which is why it has been referred to as "a mixer" many times by third parties, even though we have continuously rejected this label.

Our project has shown that it's possible to operate without abusing customers with nonsensical policies, unlike projects that will accept this announcement as a "weight lifted off their shoulders" that pretend to believe the false idea that confiscating crypto from customers somehow prevents "money laundering", who rely on random and unreliable scoring systems created and operated by companies that are parasites aiming to extract money from their governments by providing consulting based on the segregation of the crypto space and blockchain data. If we were to look at these projects from the perspective of "preventing money laundering and terrorism financing", any instant exchangers that screen their customer deposits using third-party APIs and appeal to nonsensical AML/KYC terms are far from preventing money laundering and terrorism. If they were serious about this, they would need to stop hiding behind shelf offshore companies and start conducting strict due diligence on every customer, which none of them do in reality. The absurdity is compounded by the absolute uselessness of the address score reporting APIs they use, as any of these screening mechanisms can be easily bypassed.

Our project will also demonstrate that even without it, this space will continue to have ways and instruments for those engaging in illicit activities to effectively "launder" their funds. Thus, the goal of stopping eXch under the belief that it may stop all money laundering in the world is ridiculous.

Meanwhile, our project effectively provided privacy to all our customers and even anonymity to most. However, there are still far more effective ways to achieve it, thanks to these flagship projects that exist nowadays:

- Monero, with its total privacy, although not without some recently discovered issues that are serious and should be fixed with the Full-Chain Membership Proofs implementation
- Litecoin, with its optional privacy (MWEB)
- Dash, with its optional privacy
- Tornado Cash
- Bitcoin CoinJoin protocols

Another distinctive project that does not betray its mission is Thorchain. Even under the immense pressure that the whole industry had to deal with due to the irresponsible actions of those at ByBit, Thorchain was the only decentralized protocol that resisted the pressure to implement screening mechanisms at the protocol level, proving itself to be absolutely reliable. Even though all Thorchain trades are transparent on-chain, privacy and even total untraceability can be easily achieved when combined with some of the privacy-enabling projects mentioned above, when used correctly. However, the Thorchain network currently has a very limited choice of good interfaces, aside from Asgardex and MMGen wallets, and none of them are privacy-preserving, but we hope this can change.

Bitcoin privacy remains, however, in the midst of a notable crisis given the collapse of all important projects and protocols that had significant liquid CoinJoin-like pools. The most interesting and convenient of them in terms of usability remains WabiSabi; however, it needs some lightweight implementations to achieve greater popularity in order to effectively prevent serious risks associated with Sybil attacks. We certainly know that most people in this space prefer lightweight solutions to heavy software solutions, and this factor can significantly affect the popularity and usage of any good project.

Given this, we are announcing a 50 BTC open-source fund to support any FOSS projects aiming to enhance the availability of privacy solutions. We hope we can still make a difference. Here are examples of the projects we will support:

- Bitcoin wallets and protocols aiming to preserve user privacy
- Thorchain wallets aiming to preserve user privacy
- Bisq Light Client
- Ethereum wallets and smart contracts aiming to preserve user privacy (an example of such might be a "non-rigged" fork of Railgun smart contracts and wallets allowing users to operate in Tor)

Unfortunately, we will not support projects that are written in Java, JavaScript, Go, or C#, especially developers who don't take module chain supply attacks seriously and believe they're some kind of "conspiracy theory".

There will be other projects that will hopefully take our place as the industry leader in privacy-oriented centralized exchanges, and we wish them success.

Our partners will still have access to our API for a limited time, but what happens after May 1st will depend on our new management team, who will be in possession of all access to our infrastructure. Thus, we recommend launching their own liquidity pools to guarantee seamless operation. We will provide consulting and recommendations to them.

Privacy is not a crime.

eXch novosti:

Friends, the Anti-Phishing campaign continues. We want to get these malicious domains suspended.


We guarantee that the rewards will be distributed accordingly to the conditions stipulated in the first message of this thread. The first payments will be distributed soon.

Ne bih see iznenadio da je u pitanju samo manevar, kako bi smanjili pritisak koji se vrsi na njih u poslednje vreme.

Nema tu nikakvog manevra, prestaju sa radom i gase se, a novi vlasnici mogu učiniti sve što žele sa eXch.
A ta kampanja ostaje aktivna jer su već poslali menadzeru bitcoin za nagrade.
Ova novost me nije iznenadila nakon što sam čuo za novo vlasništvo.

The rewards have been distributed for the 4 domains that are already suspended.

All activities have been reviewed carefully; some were not considered for various reasons (domain reported after suspension, domain name not present in the report, some confused the official domain with a phishing domain, some have never communicated their username and BTC address despite several reminders in this thread and emails from us and we did not have enough elements to link their emails to a Bitcointalk account, and so on). Some have done good reports but have not communicated their username, they can still contact us via PM if necessary.

We thank you for the work done, and we encourage you to continue the good work for the domains that are still online.

Sto se tice zatvaranja sto mislite koliko je sigurno obavljati razmjenu na exch sada u periodu pred zatvaranje. Pitam zato sto bih trebao obaviti 2-3 razmjene a ne bih zelio koristiti Binance.

Nije nikad ugodno drugog savjetovati da povjeruje nekom svoj novac ali da je meni osobno potrebna zamjena kriptovaluta koje su dostupne na eXch ja se sve do kraja ovog mjeseca ne bi ustručavao da ih koristim. Jedino treba provjeriti trenutni status sustava (klik na dugme "system status" na stranici) da se vidi da nema problema s nekim od njihovih nodova i prelistati zadnjih desetak postova u ANN temi da li se korisnici žale da imaju problema sa razmjenama. Ako sve radi kako treba, ja bi mijenjao.

Razumijem, ni sam ne volim previse davati savjete o financijama, ali me samo zanimalo misljenje malo iskusnijih kolega.

Sto se tice trgovanja na zalost propustio sam priliku zbog oklijevanja, pa cekam dok ne zavrsi bear trap (ako je bitcoin meter u pravu) pa je trgovina malo odgodena.

Ja jučer spominjem da eXch nekad zna imati problema sa svojih Ethereum nodom kad vidi slučajnosti, upravo to se jućer i desilo. Nekoliko korisnika je prijavilo da nisu na vrijeme dobili svoje tokene a eXch je potvrdio da je opet Ethereum node razlog prekida. Ne bi izgubio novac naravno i dobio bi šta te sljeduje nakon što kontaktiraš njihovu korisničku službu.

Takodje, ovih dana sam razmenio neke diskusije sa njima i nisam stekao utisak da ce oni nakon "zatvaranja" eXch servisa otici izvan crypto poslovanja. Na kraju, cak i nakon najave gasenja servisa imali su neke donacije i izdasne nagrade.

eXch je već prestao sa radom nekoliko dana prije najavljenog termina. Kao razlog navode istragu i zakonske mjere koje se vode protiv njih. https://exch.net/ više nije dostupan a https://exch.cx/ ima obavijest da je mjenačica prestala sa radom. Nisam pokušavao otvoriti njihovu Tor verziju ali pretpostavljam da ni ona više ne radi. Poslje desteljeća rada gubimo jednu odličnu berzu.
