There's a good chance it's now defunct, the oldest austria-based exchange I could find that is still in business was founded in 2014 (supposing no one moved). If it's some local exchange, looking up using their language is something to try.
Since the friend still has access to the email account, try reviewing all verification emails during 2011. You could also use possible keywords such as exchange, bitcoin, BTC etc.. when searching for emails.

If you already had a wallet you had an option of having the bitcoins transferred to that wallet by inputting the word list or a private key, if not then it created the wallet and gave a list of words, a file download of the wallet and a string of characters as I mentioned in my first post.
Huh? why would they ask for your private key (AKA access to your btcs) instead of your address during withdrawal? Are we sure this isn't some scam exchange? were you able to actually confirm you own the bitcoins? |

Ads are typically not moderated, be careful with them OP. Maybe I'm just really curious about their sign-up bonus to try it out.
What if I tell you their prerequisite? it's too much LMAO they clearly don't want to hand over the $25 bonus. The Initial bonus cannot be withdrawn or transferred from the account until the following minimum trade amounts are met:
FX – 5 lots of any currency
Gold - 5 lots (500 oz / staked size $5)
Silver – 5 lots (5000 oz / staked size $2.5)
Indices / US / UK oil – $50 of stake traded
Crypto – $50,000 notional In addition to what has been pointed out, their website is very cheap looking. I doubt they have the money to properly handle KYC/AML procedures. Of course, it's an offshore company. No information about the team and their whereabouts. Quox is a trading name of Quox Capital LLC, which is incorporated in St Vincent and the Grenadines, number 1312 LLC 2021 by the Registrar of International Business Companies, and registered by the Financial Services Authority, and whose address is First Floor, First St. Vincent Bank Ltd Building, James Street, Kingstown, St Vincent and the Grenadines. |

I heard that facial recognition is coming much sooner than later, someone's about to literally drop this. A yay from me as I hate worrying about secret keys
Facial recognition for what? unlocking the app? logging in your wallet? I can't find any information about this, where did you hear it? In any case, I wouldn't recommend using facial recognition to keepsafe sensitive information since they are more prone to targeted spoofing attacks. Some mid-range phones still unlocks using pictures. Lastly, if by secret keys you mean your backup phrase/seed. Note that it is your fallback plan in case something goes wrong with your wallet, please keep it safe. |

Binance I think it also offers it, but with binance you earn for sure the cryptocurrencies or you just enter a draw for answering the questions correctly?
Former but it depends if you are eligible The Binance “Learn and Earn” rewards are for targeted Binance users only. New users need to complete Identity Verification first before they can earn “Learn & Earn” rewards. Please note that only specific Binance users are eligible to receive rewards for certain campaigns. and if there are still rewards left How many learn and earn rewards can I get per day,because I only did one Course and on all my courses it says "all rewards reedemed,stay tuned!" Is it supposed to be like that or...? And in the other platforms? can you win cryptocurrencies? or just answering correctly gives you the option to enter a draw? There is no one size fits all but for sure there would be a catch such as completing KYC. Start with reading each promos' ToS. |

Not many of the web wallets don't allow the users to select the transaction fee for example coinbase will simply let the users to use the recommended fee but for me that is safer compared to selecting the fee on our own because people who are using online wallets may have lesser knowledge about what will happen if they set too low or high fee.
Only works if the fee estimation is close to accurate. Blockchain.com has a history of too low/too high recommended fee, I wouldn't trust them. But I'm guessing OP's problem is more than just setting a fee too low for blockchain.com eyes. |

A mentor is a someone who help people to achieve their common goals. Mentor never give up on helping people until they began to see a good results coming out from them. Mentor don't scam people who are trying to rise like them than to help them to stand well.
Your expectations are too high OP. In reality, people do it to make a living and not for social work. But with how rampant the mentorship scams are, people are more likely to encounter a scammer. Think twice if the "mentor" spends most of their time "mentoring" rather than trading themself and claims something too good to be true. |

I also remember it was mentioned somewhere in the website they had some btc mining operations, but looking at their FAQ and EARN BTC tabs now I haven't found this information anymore... I just checked and you're right!! it's not there anymore, it used to be: How do you make money to pay us interest?
When you hold money in your FreeBitco.in account, we split it into 3 parts - the first part is used to cover user withdrawals, the second part is used to bankroll our MULTIPLY BTC game and the third part is used to expand our bitcoin mining operation (which is currently 9.065Petahashes or 0.019% of the total hashpower of the bitcoin network). There were/are faucets which use your computer processing power to mine crypto while you are accessing them. It was announced as a passive earning method, but I fear it can lead to prejudice and damage to the desktop components or invasion of the system by malicious virus and hackers. It really doesn't sound good...
Ah yes I forgot they exist... but since we're talking about bitcoin, I'd stay far away from any browser miner who claims they're mining bitcoin given how unprofitable it is with CPU/GPU, you won't get good results from it. |

But how sure are we that those are their real names? most scammers don't use their real names for obvious reasons. It's likely that they've moved to another domain with a different identity.

There is no reason to follow up on what they are doing, I am not even talking about participating or buying or hold, I mean not even being aware of them and what they are doing because that is how shitty they are.
I don't think that's a good idea... if no one follows up on them, no one would be able to inform the communities about the scam methods they're introducing. After all, not everyone knows how shady they are. |

Keep in mind that KYC is mandatory for both binance.com and binance.us, I doubt you'd be able to trade if you're from one of the prohibited countries/states. Using VPN won't help as well bc it only changes your IP and not the citizenship on your papers.

It's actually quite facinating to me how yobit has managed to keep on going with these scams all those years
Jurisdiction, the number of fcks authorities give and the fact that yobit's exact wherebouts is unknown could be one of the reasons why. People were speculating that they would exit scam around 2017 (ICO time) but here we are today.Those shitcoins they keep adding to their platform must've been paying well.
They will exit at some point but who knows when. Most likely, being able to dodge authorities after all these years despite the blatant scams have given them an ego boost to stay longer. |

Freebitco.in is more than just a faucet. If i remember correctly, they were allocating a portion of the funds from interest accounts (users earn interest for keeping their BTCs in their platform) to their bitcoin mining facility.
But what about these "other faucets" OP? cause a faucet-only website which claims to be mining BTC doesn't sound good...

Is this exchange related to that failed Defi Deltaexchange from 2018?
I don't think so. I couldn't find anything about delta.exchange launching defi. According to data, they were in business since 2018 and there were no signs of rebranding during that time either. Perhaps you have an exact link of the suspected exchange related to the failed defi? |

It has only been more or less two days ago so I'm giving the benefit of the doubt. However, given the fact that they have poor reputation and aren't established yet, don't wait for too long before you start a scam accusation. I'd say maximum would be a week or two. |

Did you not do any backups OP?
The backup options back then were local download (check your old drives), dropbox, google drive, email and paper wallet, any of those ring a bell?

Try to cross-check the fee with https://mempool.space/ first, it could be really too low and that could lead to dreadful waiting time. |

Majority are hostile to new services for safety reasons. If you want people to try your platform and get some feedback from it, I suggest working on demo accounts they can create for free.
