In addition, I’d say practicing good security/privacy habits naturally prevents scams as well especially targeted scams where they need a certain amount of people’s information. This security checklist has some great advices: https://github.com/Lissy93/personal-security-checklist (some are outdated! i would double check before trying anything) |

Relying on signals + using no one has heard of exchanges is the perfect combination to lose money since they're both likely to be shitting on you. Keep in mind that there's a popular fake exchange scam where scammers makes made up profits to keep their victims trapped. From your posts, this could be the case for you... I suggest withdrawing your funds ASAP. Who knows, it could still work. Good luck op! let's stick with reputable exchanges  |

however, it's still strange to me how everything became so viral because accounts with very little influence were used.
I honestly don't find the engagement organic as well, most of it could be fake to appear legit. My guess is these people probably did the usual hijacking of posts from popular accounts to reach more audience. I can't remember when I reported the accounts but in OP's second screenshot, I see one of them replying to Bitcoin Magazine. |

"you can withdraw but we will setup situations that prevent you from doing so" lol.... in before “it’s not our fault you didn’t withdraw on time” The contact us so we can give you temporary access is hard to buy as well given the current situation. But if you have significant funds in there, you'll have no choice but to cling and hope you'll be one of the 10 people who will be able to get their funds out. According to reports, it seems like the blocking started earlier this year On their discord, people have also been trying to access the website from different IPs months ago. |

Accounts reported! tho the other guy has already changed persona but I wonder if it's easy for scamers to have more twitters that have been verified blue ticks?
I would say it’s not the hardest thing. There's an endless supply of too lax about security or unsuspecting people which is every hackers bread and butter. In addition, I doubt twitter’s verification for it is fool proof, I imagine some malicious accounts would still slip thru. |

No idea what that is but if they are promising to double/triple/quadruple/etc.. your coins if you send it to them, then it's a pretty common scam. Money doesn't grow magically. Don't send them any cent, op. Be careful with strangers talking about money, they're most likely up to no good.

So it means there is any other way to do trading spot/future on binance or other platforms. Because mostly are those who ask for the KYC and than they give the permission to trade on their platforms.
So I think you have any other option so I would like to see that option and hungry to use. But it could be safe.
If you check kycnot.me, you can find exchanges that has no kyc to no-mandatory kyc. Ultimately, your options would depend on what you’re trying to achieve like for futures, you’ll likely be stuck with those that has no mandatory kyc but can at any time ask for it. |

But dear friend Binance has the terms and conditions and rules and policies, Binance will never share your personal information to anyone.
In case you missed it, it's not just the authorities: 4. Does Binance Share My Personal Information?
Third party service providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include analysing data, providing marketing assistance, processing payments, transmitting content, and assessing and managing credit risk. These third-party service providers only have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with our contractual agreements and only as permitted by applicable data protection laws
.
Business transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, user information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the user consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Binance or substantially all of its assets are acquired, user information will be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of Binance and others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or with our regulatory obligations; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of Binance, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
....In order for us to provide you the best user experience, we may share your personal information with our marketing partners for the purposes of targeting, modeling, and/or analytics as well as marketing and advertising. You may opt-out of sharing personal information with our marketing partners, unless we have a legitimate interest to do so. and most importantly, there's also a data breach/leak risk. But a simple trader and scalpers are still safe.
And KYC is compulsory just due to avoid fraudulent activities.
KYC is not as effective as they make it out to be: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5221497.0It's perfectly fine to use the platform provided that you know your risks but I would never describe it as a safe platform for people concern about their personal info. |

i think in this exchange still i don't see any scammer it is a very safe and secure place.
There is no P2P exchange out there with no scammers. The person on the other end could always try to trick you. The most common scheme i see is either the chargeback scam or the fake notification for payments in order to trick you to release the escrow. You can look up threads about this in reddit and/or bitcointalk. I prefer decentralized p2p exchanges like hodlhodl.com
Hodlhodl relies on centralized servers, can ask KYC, ban countries, so it's not decentralized. |

I live here in Indonesia , and indodax is one the biggest local crypto exchange with several official government regulation and they paid millions of dollar in taxes every year . They have reputation to protect to just made up some skewed trading competition result . This is their 4th time of the competition i think . yeah of course trading always possess a risk .
Unfortunately, it doesn't completely diminish the possibility that the results are not rigged. A good example is how even the top regulated exchanges are involved in wash and insider trading. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411917.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5407225.0Again, I'm not accusing them but I would keep an open mind. |

The problem with these trading competitions is we have no way of knowing if some made up numbers gets mixed along the way. I'm not accusing them or anything, just wanted to say we should take caution on the things we can't verify.
There is no direct guide for such roi. Don't forget the other side as well where loads of people are losing money.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. I just thought there was something simpler because I don't need visualization and other tools.
I actually think it fits the term "simpler"--at least for me and my use cases-- like you put in an address, get a graph and when you select a path, a window will pop up showing the transactions:  In any case, nice to see that you found a workaround! |
|
|
|
For example, we would like to see only those transactions that started on specified input/output addresses. Do you know of such an online tool?
Maybe you meant to say filter transactions from address A to address B? if so, I'd look into visualizer tools like breadcrumbs.app |

I requested another withdraw and noticed this:
"There is no fees for withdraw"
Not sure how to add a picture to this thread
It's likely to be a big lie but I see no harm in trying provided that you don't give them any cent or additional personal information. For the photo/s, you can use any image hosting service like imgur.com and paste the link in your post. |

Though I also have high privacy concern, but I don't think it's good to use No KYC exchanges in trading due to less liquidity, maybe Kucoin is just the only option for him.
Still depends on what you're trying to do. It's nothing too bad if you're just dabbling with major altcoins and/or have widely used payment methods for fiat. We're also talking about newbies here so I'm not expecting them to deep dive (e.g. day trading) into trading with OPs guidance. |
|
|

I would also suggest posting in their subreddit, see: https://www.reddit.com/r/kucoin Mods are fairly active and there were some instances where the CEO replied to some posts. Who knows, maybe you could get decent upboats? and as with any suggestions, it's likely to be considered if backed by many people. |

You could also introduce them to no-kyc/no mandatory kyc exchanges, look into https://www.kycnot.me/But before anything else, best to teach them good security habits on how to safekeep their crypto e.g. how to backup, what wallet to choose, what not to click, etc... Lastly, I'm sure you have a life outside crypto space so one way to ease your workload is to introduce them to bitcointalk to read and/or ask further questions-- they could do this in their local board as well. |
