Past incidents where funds were reimbursed should not be taken as a means of insurance. The reason they were fine is because it was only a small-scale loss and there is no guarantee that the SAFU jar will be able to cover every losses if a large scale hack happens.

When it comes to centralized exchanges, the best you can do are:

1. withdraw your funds if you're not actively trading.
2. minimize how much you put in to relatively small exchanges. IMO they have less chances of properly investing in cybersecurity and being able to hold out during tough times like bear market.
3. keep yourself updated on what's going on with the exchange/s you use, sometimes there are signs you need to get out.
4. if you can, avoid them or limit your usage.

Creating a new thread instead of addressing what was pointed out in your previous thread is just digging an even deeper hole for yourself. Thanks for confirming that you have nothing to counter.

But if we're paying $30 per month, then it's not actually a zero trading fee, no?  This also means it's not for people who don't trade much, they could be paying $30 for a few dollar worth of trade fees. As you can guess, they earn from their spread as well which I'm guessing would still be present.

I don't think they have a market order shortcut as well... if you wanna do that, just place a buy order higher than the current market price. Say market price is $1, place it at $1.5. Don't worry, you won't be buying at a higher price because the better order will be matched for you which is at the current market price.

Kucoin actually doesn't support USA which is why you won't be able to verify your account. People from unsupported countries are just taking advantage of the no-mandatory KYC policy. For leverage, last time i check they have a maximum of x5 for unverified accounts.

If you go to r/kucoin and search for similar situations, you'll find mix responses. Some have smooth experience and some have been asked to KYC...  What I'm trying to say is, you should be cautious with them because technically they aren't allowed to operate in the USA.

Any proof of authenticity for this email? I dropped it in their handles authenticator and it returned:


I did "support@huobigroup.com" as well just to make sure email addresses are accepted

Was their username highlighted in their reply? if not, then it isn't from the channel account.

But even if the reply is actually from the channel account, it doesn't mean it should be trusted as hacking youtube accounts to conduct scams are pretty rampant and there are channels who are already malicious from the very start. Best to not entertain any strangers coming to you to talk about money, it is most of the time a scam attempt. You know what they say, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

As a last resort, you can try to come up with a little story to make them feel a reinvestment is possible when funds are released, who knows maybe they're dumb enough to bite lol.

I agree. With such short deadline, they should at least post in every social channels they have otherwise it limits the news from spreading.

Although tedious, there's apparently a way to get your funds out in case you miss their given deadline. Let's just hope there will be no additional/hidden fee aside from the network fees.

Take a look at their recent trades and orderbook. The exchange is pretty new in the game and almost no one has heard of it, yet they are making a lot of trades... it doesn't make sense.

A closer look will tell you the same numbers are being repeated

I wonder if the update your app prompt is a thing everyone gets when their app becomes outdated? it could be that op's problem solved on its own and the "update your app" prompt was a mere coincidence.

So you sent the payment to address 34rJytHdpdeAfjXbhTVrSgTzskL13JK8xP?

Because it belongs to kraken.com exchange, see:

https://oxt.me/address/34rJytHdpdeAfjXbhTVrSgTzskL13JK8xP
https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/34rJytHdpdeAfjXbhTVrSgTzskL13JK8xP

Try to get in touch with them and see what they may be able to do for you. If they decide to help, you will most likely need to involve the authorities.

I find it hard to buy that it was an honest mistake. In their article, blender.io was repeated many times but they still managed to give a phishing link...


Note: I forgot i was in the wayback machine when i did the snapshot but you get it.





Notice that it's blendAr instead of blendEr? from what it looks like, the article is just a ploy to disguise phishing links.


I wouldn't be surprised, the way her picture was awkwardly cropped reminds me of face generators, for instance: https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/

There's a way to select which UTXOs you wanna spend but it's only available on desktop as of now, see: https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405094845465-How-can-I-manually-select-coins-when-sending-

But why is this on web wallets? I don't see green offering any of that sort.

Wasn't the website already on maintenance at least a few weeks before the announcement started circulating? Just wondering since there's an "on maintenance" snapshot of them on june 15.

They will probably make more than 20 EUR per user since not everyone will be able to withdraw. There's a tweet that the app is set to die in less than two weeks and it's not even working properly... Basing from the wayback machine snaps, this seems to be an app only exchange cause I can't see any login?


They did say the remaining balance will be transferred to their cards but what about those who have not activated their card?. There's also a tweet (machine translated!) claiming users are charged after july 20.

But if India's witch-hunt isn't effective enough to deter people from circumventing the taxes, most traders will probably just move to a less likely to be monitored means of buying and selling rather than give up.

Meta: you'll probably get more responses if you move this to legal or exchanges

Unless they nuked it, you should get a 10% off when you use a referral link/code. Try to ask for it in their communities (telegram, reddit etc...) I'm sure people will be more than happy to give it to you but be warned that scams are rampant so I wouldn't recommend clicking links, the safest way is to enter the code yourself.

I would check on youtube as well. Maybe there are sponsored youtube videos out there with a discount link/code in the description box.

Buying and selling of TBTCs is a frowned upon practice. Testnet coins are meant to be worthless.

If someone needs a larger amount of TBTC, a couple of members in bitcointalk are lending or giving them away for free. A quick lookup in your search engine (using "site:bitcointalk.org") and you'll find them otherwise start a thread about it.

oh great! another trader with prophetic visions who can "find every dip and each top" for you... Let's be honest here, if you really can, you wouldn't be here posting this.
