I have learnt about the biggest MLM scams going in India and RMD was one of them if not wrong. People don't get it that only those who dive in at early stage in these things are the ones who make money when they are able to convince someone to join under them with their bs product based on which they market their scheme. These helpless guys 'those who opt for their MLM scheme' then start to run the game by trying to convince 2-3 more people to join under them and if possible, get more involved. Bitcoinnect was such a failure that everyone must have learned that we should not go behind free/ easy money and do hard work to achieve success in our life. HYIPs are either for those who enter early 'only if it succeeds or it is for nobody 'it people don't take any interest'. You guys are familiar with BTC doublers? It was an assured success mantra for the admins who used to run those sites and made many people lose big over there.

+1 merit for you just for being honest. I liked the way you confessed how the sole intention of yours (and most people who visit and join the forum) is to get involved in a signature campaign and how beautifully you dealt with your mentality, changed it and came out being a better person than before. Now I believe that Merit is good as it teaches users the cost of hard work and knowledge here and glad to see someone actually changed due to it.

If Dubai and other Saudi countries is what you meant by saying Middle East, you can check the list in the link below:

Most of the listed services accept credit cards, try them at your own risk.

The transactions I saw were not SegWit, but like baofeng told you they started using SegWit in late 2017 and continued using the same fee format they had been using since, but no matter what even if they ask it for legacy it is still unjustifiable on their end to give a reason why they had been stealing our funds through high fees even when, during current days, transactions are being confirmed at a fee of just 1 or 2 Sats/byte.

That's the point I was trying to convey that these ridiculously high fees will get them their customers fly away from them to different options available. Even Binance doesn't ask for this high fees while comparatively giving much better services than hitbtc.

That is what I was trying to make JollyGood understand that you cannot blame somebody for a decision that comes under their authority and the arguments he was giving had nothing to do with bets roll back and promo cancellation as he was just assuming that Dean could not have paid the winner if a winner could have taken place. Dean PMed me telling me that he bought all the ICO tokens which were worth BTC600 and JollyGood is trying to ruin Betking's reputation and stopping the investors from getting back their initial investment. I'm not saying that I believe him, I wanted to tell this publicly so I told.

Their withdrawal fee is why I don't use them these days. I remember when I invested in TRX (Tron) back in 2017 when it grew to 2000 satoshis making me a profit of BTC0.06 on my BTC0.01 investment. I was fine to pay them the fee considering their fake volume helped me gain something but this doesn't help in the long time anyway. They have felt the heat of other exchanges with comparatively low fees on both trading as well as withdrawal, but are still taking very high fees for which many will pass it. They send transactions in a batch so definitely there's not much that they pay and I have seen them paying BTC0.00007 for transactions while taking BTC0.002 from each member who withdrew which is garbage in my eyes.

I think that will also help the helper know the loopholes and try to attack the exchange themselves once they are in need of money again in future because they are securing it and they will know the gaps that they can use to hack these databases again and in future, ask again for some ransom. While we cannot trust even developers of projects to come and join our project to help us out in security issues, it is not a better option to go outside unless you trust them more than your current team.

Thanks for clarifying that I may also see 'shit' here which I never said in my words. If I see anything of my interest  including your Jio annual meet (I am a fan of Mukesh Ambani for what he has given you guys) or the blockchain summits in India, I go first and read more about it and if I see that there's no 'shit' posted and the words are properly set up by a user, I can merit those posts. If this sector would not be of any interest to me I'd never visit it. And don't mind, but you can't judge someone's reach just by where they live as we're all globally united so we all keep news about each other. I have friends in India who can make me understand better if I don't get whatever you are linking it to. And come on, you can't just copy and paste an article's word to word paragraph and post it here and expect us to merit it, it's someone else's work.

Same as RHavar, I'm also not a fan of Dean but just a few things in my mind.


It's a 50 BTC jackpot Betking was offering, so it was for sure that they would keep the ratio to win it very high and hard against the odds of actually winning it over.


It was an offer made by them and the sole authority remains in their hands to keep or destroy it. If Dean claimed that nobody won the jackpot and if there is really no one who, ever came to claim that he/she won a jackpot there and were not paid by Betking, your claims are clueless and useless then as the power to snatch back the opportunity to win a jackpot was in the hands of Betking by stopping their promotion, so what did they do wrong?


I saw once that Betking yielded more than BTC700 during its old days, do you think it'd be hard for them to give that BTC50 jackpot to their winner if there would be one.

As I see, most of the posts here are in English instead of the local language so I can try to be helpful here if I find any post that qualifies and meets my merit standards.
Answer me this, if members from any country cannot differentiate and categorize between quality posts and bad posts, do they deserve to be merited? Those who don't have the knowledge of what are quality posts should not expect it from me at least.

I never said that but then such a service will only help criminals to get their tainted Bitcoins or BTC gained through criminal activities shuffled by them and have them saved. I bet they currently have the choice of helping out in such cases as they have got all the details in the end like transaction timestamps, id's and everything as well as the transactions that they sent? No?


For which I have already asked your apology. Can't do more than this.

Their services, their rules. We are bound to follow what they have set just because they had been providing it for less and it may have costed them more then and exchanges have a budget to keep it going, so here I think that Bitstamp wanted a bit more share of the volume they are pursuing.

If you are open to advice, try Cobinhood. Their trading fees is 0 and you only pay deposit and withdrawal fees as shown here - https://cryptoins.io/post/cobinhood-fee

They should care for it or they will end up grabbed by laws and shut down - my personal views as I have seen some good mixers being shut by not abiding by the laws, though I know CM knows their job better and they are my personal favorite. Sorry if I sound wrong as well as for the 'speculation' as I didn't knew about the bug.

On a very different note than OP, I want to ask you that if you are offering a service that is usable Independently by anyone, how can they keep a watch on people who are using their services to tumble the coins for a criminal cause? If it is brought to their attention then I don't think that Chipmixer guys are the ones who will favor the guy. I have used their services once and I can say that they are punctual at doing their job properly. This thing that OP is facing might be due to them having issues with what happened and so they could be stopping users for some time till their services resume to work normally.

Why don't you open a scam accusation thread against them - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

I think you believe it yourself that they cannot do this, so wait for their response. Ask yourself, a service that spent more than BTC200 and still spending each week through their campaign would scam you for your 2 cents? Yes, BTC0.02 is 2 cents for them calling their loyalty towards their services so far.

I don't think of it as helpful until they respond.
busoni (Owner of Poloniex) seems to be the only guy from Poloniex who was available here till Feb 2018, so I can't ask you to contact him for any response here and if nobody from other party can respond you, how can you expect forum to play any role except give them red trust. You can stop a few people from using their exchange but not all.

I got questions for both of you guys.

Jollygood, did you just assume that there 'might be' a winner or are you sure about that? Why is there no reference from your side to prove that your claim is true?

Betking, why was the project abandoned? Were the investors settled with all the money they invested? Evidence? Will you say that I'm also a troll without replying to my questions? It cannot save you from the claims that are against you.

This is my own thread where I await some good posts to merit them myself. I will say that merit sources like DarkStar_ are very much active in local boards and never hesitates to merit users if they have posted something that deserves one, so don't you think that they are not active. I went through this India local section and found that there are very less posts that seem to get merited as most of other posts are marketplace based, like trades and reputation threads.

I can't give you 5 different streams but something I know about your country is, it is an education hub to many for which people migrate from many different countries to India. If you can try, you may achieve great success by utilizing the man-power available there if you know how to convince someone to work under you. You need to trust me that this alone has the potential to bring in more than $1000 each month if you have the right skills to achieve it.

Additional e-currency options should be allowed as well as an exchange with atomic swap capability would do much better job if this is kinda possible for them to integrate with many different alts available. It will get them much more customers than what they are getting because they still look to be less known as a recognized exchange among other competitors.
