I'm not trying to take sides in here but if you had funds in a certain address "in FP" and they didn't want to cover your losses, then they would've contradicted what they've said in their incident post but that's not the case. The way I see it, it's a limitation from bitcoinker ^{[I'm not implying they're at fault]} so in other words, you have only yourself to blame for those funds.

For the most part, it'll improve but occasionally, we'll witness some sort of setbacks as well and that's mainly due to the fact that almost all of the governments, prefer having control over literally everything and that's something that they can't fully achieve with BTCitcoin in the scene.

As always, great job @DdmrDdmr but it seems to be lacking the stats for either the last activity period or just the past few days.

I was blessed with the airdropped merits so I can't comment in regards to my stats but as others have suggested, you should consider a lot of other things apart from the merit count itself. Unfortunately, I don't think there's an easy/accurate way to measure everything ^{[apart from the time it took [by ShowOff] and its intensity [by tranthidung]]} since all of the other remaining factors are in constant changes ^[dynamic] and that tends to overlap and complicate end results as opposed to measuring everything as if it was in a static state.

Amen to that!
^{- Most of the time, I'm left with just a single sMerit and that reflects on how I merit others.}

Someone has mentioned receiving one ^[link] but at the same time, complained about faulty hardware.
^{- Both verification and accusation parts aren't valid since it doesn't come with some sort of evidence.}

• Perhaps the following "YouTube user" might be able to help you ^{[long shot]}.
• If the content of "this page ^{[only 7 of those are installed]}" is accurate, then your chances of getting a response from one of its owners are slim to none ^{[unfortunately]}.

AFAIK, apart from what you've mentioned the other day, all of the other 1 way desktop BTMs are around 3 to 4k ^{[e.g. Chainbytes's 1 way, Lamassu's Gaia]}.
^{Take note: I'm not vouching for those providers.}

• If you just want to use it from time to time ^{[as a hobby]}, then maybe you could build one:
  
  • Open-Source Bitcoin ATM
  • Tutorial

Update:
Thank you for the kind words ^{[I appreciate it]}... Hopefully, you'll have an all-around positive experience as opposed to the other guy

I did like the light/dark toggle button + colorful icons for different sections but apart from those, not sure if it comes with other unique features as opposed to other forums...
^{- Care to list those features?}

You can't expect your users to remain active forever ^{[life happens]} and by doing so, you'll be throwing all of their efforts down the drain ^{[it doesn't make sense]}.

Just did with a link to this thread...
^{- Hopefully, it'll be sufficient in taking down such groups.}

Sorry for your loss
^{- If there's anything that you could add as proof, it'd be greatly appreciated [might come in handy when one of the Telegram employees visits this thread].}

Unfortunately, this thread isn't enough unless that group is taken down.
^{- Most users, do little to nothing when it comes to background checks and other stuff.}

When did the incident happen and what did you do to protect your group members?

And if none of them pay, we'll get nothing ^{[100% of our funds gone]}... Why waste your time in building a system that doesn't guarantee the safety of your lender's assets, when you can just tackle those issues by simplifying everything...
^{- Sometimes a simple/basic system is much better than a complicated system with underlying problems.}

That was just an example and there are plenty more on various platforms ^{[AFAIK, all of their sister platforms have similar behavior and do selective scams from time to time]} and if you still "really" trust them after reading those cases, then that says a lot about you.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. I could easily name 5 other platforms ^{[not referring to their sister websites]} that are still around while continuing with scamming their users.

Out of those 2,600+ reviews, how many of those are verified reviews? I have no doubt most of those are either fake or manipulated/targetted reviews.

The part I highlighted in red suggests otherwise.

When a problem ^{[e.g. scam incident]} arises after making an exchange through "your platform", whose fault would it be?
^{- I hope you're not going to "just" blame them.}

Not sure if I'm missing something but how are you going to sell those fractions of BTCitcoins without having access to the account in question?

That's not always the case ^{[e.g. today]}.

You can list your email "normally" in this forum

Refrain from creating similar topics in this board ^{[just bump it instead]}...

Good luck to those campaign managers that usually process payments on Thursdays...
^{- They'll be having lots of fun while trying to figure out who is who}

Since there are a lot of users who got laid off from their respective jobs ^{[temporarily or permanently]}, perhaps he'll try to play with our minds by adding another field on our profiles that shows us having a certain amount in BTCitcoin.
^{- I know it's a bit too harsh.}

Or he'll just invert the color of either our signatures or avatars.

Not sure if I should get frustrated for not having access to the first few wallets that I had back then or for not choosing Kano ^{[back in the day when I used to mine BTCitcoin]} as my preferred mining pool.
^{- Probably both [SMH]}

I couldn't agree more ^{[unfortunately]}...

This might sound weird but I still use faucets regularly ^{[mostly with the help of automated platforms but it still counts]}.

Deposit and withdrawals are back ^{[ahead of schedule]} but coin swap is still not working ^{[should be back at 25th]}.

Exactly. Hopefully, this wasn't a marketing strategy of some sort.

Not all of them.
^{- You beat me to it.}

It would've been better if there was an option to purchase numbers for a certain time as opposed to using them for a single time only.
^{- To an extent, it defeats its purpose when it comes to services that may require further verifications at some point.}

There seems to be a big difference between the price chart on your homepage and the prices shown while ordering ^{[I only checked for US/UK]}.

• Real-time updates ^{[as opposed to one-minute intervals]} and more fluidity.
• Notification system for pairs of our choice ^{[it could be either a pop-up alert that stays on screen [for a few seconds] or through email]}.
• A toggle button for light/dark modes.

I'm curious to know the formula behind those scores.
^{- Feel free to ignore my request if you're not fine with sharing such information.}

Just to be clear, are you introducing yourself as a new VPN provider or you'll be offering cheaper plans from other providers?

Does it come with a dedicated IP?

I'm not a back-end coder or a developer by any means but is it going to be an open-source VPN?
^{- IIRC, a few years back there was a known VPN provider [forgot the name] that claimed such a thing but it turned out to be the opposite.}

How many people are assigned to act as part of the support system?

If you came to that conclusion based on the pop-up notifications, then those are fake ^{[like what you said on your second point]}.

In addition to your findings, they have a lot of "fake" reviews prior to their creation date ^[2021-01-27]:
^{- I strongly believe that all of the comments are fake.}

• Antminer S19 Pro 110Th/s <sup>[archived]
  - First three reviews are fake.</sup>
• Innosilicon A10 Pro+ ETH 750Mh/s <sup>[archived]
  - First one is fake.</sup>
• Innosilicon A10 Pro ETH 500Mh/s <sup>[archived]
  - First two are fake.</sup>

It seems that the channel in question, has a history of promoting scams: [SCAM] Shitcoin Airdrop Wallet Has A Virus

A perfect ^[obvious] excuse for dodging the blame ^[SMH].

I can't access both of those links. Is it just on my side or others have the same experience?

Here's his/her "forum account".

• Based on colin xu's "trust summary" page, it looks like he/she was part of another scam as well.

I'll be tagging that account as well.

For the right amount, they have no issue with selling their souls ^{[unfortunately]}.

A few suggestions:

• You should consider suspending withdrawals to FaucetPay until everything is sorted out...
  
  • Security incident
  • Check the following "tweet".
• A button for reporting empty wallets ^{[e.g. EC's dash wallet]}.
• Addition of payouts to personal wallets.
  ^{- I do know it requires a certain minimum amount and a fee.}

Overall, it looks good

It looks like it's going to be anything but reliable...
^{- It has to be thoroughly tested or else they'll end up with another disaster [lately, they're getting quite good in achieving such things ].}

It appears that they're planning to add a cryptocurrency wallet in order to make them work side by side.
^{Personally, I wouldn't use a platform with so many red flags.}

That's how their trading wallet functions. There's a holding period of three days and after that, you'll be able to do all of those without any restrictions.
^{- If you take a closer look at your trading wallet logo, you'll see a small lock icon in the bottom right corner of it.}

Based on the date this thread was created, you just have to wait for one more day before it gets cleared
