Damn. What op linked is a phishing website, hoping no one got scammed cause owner has already fled and the domain is now up for sale.

The legitimate is https://futures.huobi.com/ which you can get from their official website (huobi.com -> Derivatives -> Futures). Remember to always triple check your links! If looking for anything related (like their sns, other domains etc..), you can get it from their official website. Also, websites that are least likely to link a phishing are great for an additional confirmation in case you're not sure if you've got the right link (e.g. coingecko, coinmarketcap etc...)

Did you look it up? In the future, try to just get it from their official website. Also watch out which SNS of theirs has a verified checkmark as that can serve as your guide. Better report the page to facebook + jaxx itself.

Check this compilation with listing fee included: Crypto exchanges comparison [trade fee + listing fee + age + mobile app + more!]

Since you seem to be just starting, note that there's a very little chance of getting listed to a well known exchange for a zero fee if the coin/token is still obscure. It's better to start to with small markets then gradually climb your way up to the big ones as that's easier. But still, don't just list it wherever it's possible as that could backfire and tarnish your reputation. Some exchanges has a lot of shady stuff going on, the cryptocoin might get mixed up.

Looks like an attempt to minimize the damage. Since there's little to no chance of getting the money back from the hackers, they're trying to get them from indirect parties that could be liable in the law. plus they filed it after a significant amount of time has passed.

If there were a huge portion of buy order/s, It could be that it was an attempt to pump that certain coin/token. I'd be more certain if those cryptocoins have a relatively low liquidity.

Asked them if this is true and they denied it (source: https://i.imgur.com/WeHPN89.png). We'll see in a few days if their statement would change. News sites are probably already working on this.

They did publish an article about kimchi in their chinese site just few hours ago. (OG: https://www.gatecn.io/article/17840 | google translated: https://archive.is/srEGO)
Looks like lots of people lost their money and are asking to get it back. The "Integrity of data" has been mentioned a lot tho, I wonder if it's part of the rumor too.

But well, I'm relying on a rough translation from google so...

They already scammed three people and these are all recent--after the real website/wallet ceased its operations.

Since the .io went down, the .ch is reigning in the first page when your look it up. I guess they just entered the word "rahakott" in their search bars.

Are you talking about this?


This is just "we are doing our best to get your money back", I wouldn't count on it much. Coindesk reached out about the same thing but received no response till now


It's likely that refunds have to come out of their pocket and that's gonna sting especially for a small exchange.

Tried importing this guy's mnemonic (https://youtu.be/ccWX2ryPVgM) to iancoleman (https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39), played with the derivation path and didn't find the same address, so maybe it's not bip39? Did rahakott say it is or you based it on the word list?

Better check your addresses if the funds moved or not. If you dont have them with you, try checking your browser history or maybe you've sent someone a TXID. They seem to have an access to their users funds seeing how they are offering recovery of cross-chain sent coins and internal (off-chain) transfers. I'm not entirely sure but there's a chance it's not actually a mnemonic that would generate your keys from rahakott but rather just a way to access your account in the website.

@op, there were some cases where some functions would work on the app but not in the web (and vice versa). Doing it on the app could be worth a shot, just make sure you're not messing with the fakes.

I don't think so, had there been country restrictions (in buy crypto), op wouldn't be able to get their account verified and eventually buy BTCs.


They're trying to move their bitcoins to an address that they own.

By blocked, do you mean their recent issue about withholding the funds from trading wallet for 7 days? that's their exchange service. I doubt blockchain.com would upfrontly block/lock someone's funds (talking about their wallet service) as that goes against their claim-- that they do not have any access to their users funds. The login verification is more of a software/third party issue and doesn't mean they have an access to the funds.

If what they're claiming is true, that they're only getting encrypted wallet files, then it is indeed non-custodial in a sense that they do not have any access to their users funds and only the user itself holds the decrypted keys. But the wallet is very buggy and lacks essential features so it pretty much defeats the purpose of having non-custodial wallet as you can't fully utilize it. Plus you still have to trust them in keeping those wallet files.

Don't transact with op or use those terms--you will just appear shady.

One, they are not trusted enough for anyone to be giving upfront payment.
Two, Escrow protects both parties, when someone is very keen in not using a trusted escrow, it is highly likely to be a scam.  
Three, they post stuff that encourages violence and profanity.

Skyes' said "a small number of employees" so it could be more than three ppl. They're actually very vague, must be trying to control the damage which doesn't help. I prefer to see how they held people accountable and that they will improve their countermeasures to prevent the same thing from happening again.

Also, I wouldn't worry much. When we had the news about the couple scamming almost 1 billion php in btc, the opinions I've seen from the locals were mostly about the scammers and their scheme, not about bitcoin being a scam. and it never really hindered bitcoin's development in the country seeing how we are at now.


No it doesn't, it can only make it harder to trace.

They're at it again with another sockpuppet. This one seems to be a replacement for anshui (https://archive.is/4RRGb) seeing how its spam promotion posts stopped. also has the same posting pattern

Don't use coinbaazar, no proper service would create sockpuppets to promote.

Only a bit convenient compared to a website like (for example) bitcoin.org which wouldn't make much difference, and most importantly, there's lower chance of encountering malwares-- it's the reason why ive been very wary of installing apps on my phone. A website basically is just easier to commit and it works just as good, no reason to go for an extra mile for this.

I wouldn't call myself a pro, I just understand the basics. I've been recommending websites to start with to people who are at the same place as me years ago when I decided to dive into cryptospace plus it could be a good refresher. So I don't think it's for newbies only.

But do we really need an app for this? Even if the content gets a complete revamp, I'd still pick a website which works flawlessly using the web browser on my phone (we already have lots of it). An app will just make it a bit convenient, I don't see why it should be a reason for me to install an app on my phone.

Blockchain.com wallet actually auto fills your wallet ID (No login info is saved and any autofill option is disabled on my end) although I doubt the same thing happened to op otherwise they could've logged in without a problem but I guess there is no harm in checking, try this op: https://i.vgy.me/7j7vfJ.png

Looks like the problem is on their end. Then just keep doing these two things:

1. Trigger the wallet ID reminder (https://login.blockchain.com/#/reminder) - I remember users with authorization email problem saying the problem solved on its own after trying for the Xth time, could work on this too.

2. Follow up your problem and ticket number in their SNS (Twitter - https://twitter.com/AskBlockchain | FB - https://web.facebook.com/blockchain)

You need a lot of patience on this op. Better ditch blockchain.com once you get access on your funds if not, back up the 12 word seed at least.

This is the closest that I've seen (OVERVIEW OF SERVICES) and it's been long inactive. If there is currently an active one, it should still be fine as long it isn't almost an exact copy with no new useful info added.


Since you're gonna list yourself too and got some negs, will the trust score play a part in your list?

So youre trying to send the tokens to your ledger, then which wallet does the token sit right now?

There are two types of CHZ-- one that sits in ETH chain and one that is on binance chain. My suspicion is you have the BEP-2 token which is why you got the invalid error when you tried to send them to an erc-20 address. Check your receiving addresses if they start with bnb or 0x.
