Sorry about the loss. How I wish you had come across this thread right before you made an order with them. It would have saved you from losing your hard-earned money

Goldshell do have their official shop (https://www.goldshell.com/shop/), any reason you didn't use it?

I have tagged their profile and also created a flag - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2710 Please support.

Did you mean Hotbit? It looks like they blocked your withdrawal.

Try talking to their customer support, but chances are very low that you might recover your money. The exchange is scam. There have been simillar complaints in the past.

Is it just me or OP's account wasn't banned?
BPIP.org doesn't show any records of it being banned and neither does loyce.club - https://loyce.club/bans/usernames.txt

OP can you confirm if the account is still banned by trying to log in?

This is now becoming more and more frequent, and is now happening in every sudden market price changes. The major reason could probably be due to a high volume of traders using the platform to execute orders at a certain time.

I observed the same thing in Binance last year when Bitcoin price spiked, and I posted about it here

Nah, I think it was just a coincidence. Bitcoin price always corrects after a major rise or after achieving an all-time high. If you have been following charts, the price fall wasn't something random. Over the past few days, the market has been sideways and trading in a tight channel on the Daily chart which was a signal that we could have a break-out in the up or downside.

Check the bolded parts

The account's original email address might even be a much more important necessity. What happened to your email address?
Try your luck anyway.

Looks like you got scammed by an impersonating site that is less than 9 months old


Here is another one

goldshellmining.com

The original mining equipment maker domain is https://www.goldshell.com - shop (https://www.goldshell.com/shop)

But there ares some situations where you have won some satoshis is you look carefully though your win rate is terrible. I would suggest you first understand the type of game you want to play before putting in any sats in it

You can also contact their support if you have any questions or send a PM to this guy - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=143168

"SCAM" is the key word you are looking for.

Fortunately most members who create posts the scam accusations board use "scam" when reporting scam or shady service. It's upon the person who's searching to include the word scam in the search bar.

For example if I search "1xbit Scam" in google. Some scam accusations about 1xbit come up in the search results

Not sure if what I am doing is Ok for privacy reasons of the said user, but his name is In there.

It looks like back in the day, users were able to change their usernames or the user might have requested Theymos to change his username after sometime as donators do have such privileges

Look up Blitzboom (I will edit/delete this post if it infringes on someone's privacy)  

or Click here

Maybe what Theymos should do is update the usernames on the current Donators list since some have changed their usernames.

Sad story. The fact that the scammer's posts are locked means he's suspicious and likely to scam if you deal with him. Never ever deal with less trusted members here minus using an escrow service. Scammers have a way of making you trust them then eventually scamming you when you list suspect.

I am tagging Antonio_Arroyo too

Our friend here opened a type 2 flag and needs a couple of DT members to support it so that it becomes active;

Accusation/Reference: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5330951.0
Type 2 Flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2707

I had never had of Escaroo, but we do have trusted members here who have been acting as escrows for years. Check out this list and pick your favorite. You can also read through the thread discussion and check their individual announcement threads for a clear understanding of the terms and conditions.

escaroo seems to charge 3% while most of the members in the list just charge 1%

It would be nice if you indicated to us how you did you TA and made entries for trades. Constant updates in this thread alongside videos or screenshots of your TA and trades would be awesome and interesting to follow as most members prefer this forum to telegram channels.

Be like this guy 

Joel is now up by 1269% 

Not sure why he hasn't come here lately to share the good news, but I thought I would help out. I know there is still a great deal of trades to reach 80,000%, but his trading journey from scratch has been full of fun and lessons to learn. Keep up the high energy Joel!



A few things to note:

He did adjust his take profit to 3% and stop loss to 2% due to the currently highly volatile market. Also, the winrate was adjusted down to at least 60%
I hope he updates this info in the OP

I have used their Live-chat on 2 separate occasions. It's shit. Very slow. One is better off using the support-ticket system very well knowing they will get a response after a few days rather than having false hope while waiting on queue with the Live-chat.

The Live-chats of other exchanges I have used like Bybit and Kucoin are pretty fast. Not sure why Binance won't up their game too

Right in the Live chat there is an option to open a support ticket, but It doesn't come off directly. You have to first interact with the crap-ass bot.

Personally I think it's scam, pump and dump scheme with a long play. First they airdrop 888,888 tokens to random addresses and now someone has to follow a specific criterion in order to unfreeze the token while using their exchange and spending way more in trading fees than the actual value of the shitcoins

Apparently this is not the first time they have pumped the token this high. it's been pumped and dumped before
This thread has some good insights - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5225828

That's awesome. I am going to tag the account too. I suggest you create a type 1 and type 2 flags against the profile. I will support it.

It's sad that you lost that amount of funds to the scammer. Next time try as much as possible to use a trusted escrow. Scammers can be crafty, they can first build your trust and then scam you later.

The account itself seems to have been stolen/sold sometime back. I have never seen an account registered in 2011 in this forum still doing 2021 bounties 

Take screenshots then upload them on an image hosting site like imgur and then share the links here. Make sure you blur off any sensitive personal details that could be used to dox you.

I have experienced this with Bitmex and Binance.com. In fact, I wrote about my experience with Binance when everything froze (The pain of trading in popular exchanges. Binance froze during the BTC spike)

Expect this kind of thing to happen in popular exchanges especially during times of price spikes or dumps (volatility). There have been reports about Coinbase and Kraken also crashing in the past.
