OP you've shared a broken link in there. Here's the correct link for those who want to check the medium post:

Good to see all the improvements of MEW - MEWConnect, security partnerships, New interface.

It was announced last January 17. You can see a detailed explanation in their Medium post about the rebranding:
https://medium.com/obyte/byteball-rebrand-the-next-step-to-real-world-adoption-6a0a924390de

Upon sign up in the website, I encountered some problems:

1) On mobile, after clicking submit, I got "email, username, and password are required" (something like that) even though all fields were filled
2) On desktop, I got "Verification failed." after clicking the verification link sent on email

Looking for FAQ as well. I have questions in mind like the withdrawal fee.

Was the 1.1 XML  your first fund in the wallet? If yes, then most likely your wallet is not activated yet. It is recommended to deposit at least 3 XML to activate your stellar account (read here). You can proceed in adding a trustline after the activation.

Well, considering the fact that you can get the wallet's private key when you log in the account, do you think someone will do that? Also, with your account's negative trust for a scam attempt. Big NO.

WARNING : if you give your account details, you're giving your private key as well.

S/he has a good intention in doing the experiment to share how cheaters abuse bounty campaigns. I just think s/he should rephrase his sentence, he said:
Does it mean buying from other sources is okay? Readers might think of it that way.

Maybe something like "Do not buy accounts. Froum rule no.18 account sales are discouraged."

Edit: Upon thingking more, I thought that he should mention the account he used and be tagged saying that it was bought and used for experiement purpose only. If the account remain unknown, he might continue using it for bounty campaigns. Other members have a point.

I still believe that there are people who will do the right thing no matter what the situation is. The idea of running away may have crossed their minds knowing that most users (if not all) will leave the exchange anyway if they reopen. However, we are not sure if they'll go that way, well I hope not. I'll just wait and see

How did you verify if the Playerup account belongs to him? Anyway if it is, it's a bit fishy that 8 out of 14 positive feedbacks were sent on the same day (9/2/18).

You can't get your money back. You lost BTC, but you've avoided using a fake Binance account. (Fake because it's not you who did the verification for that account)

Hmm so it's been a while since the wallet became inaccessible. I've just visited the telegram group and found out that they will discontinue the webwallet soon, they have announced it on twitter:


I know they should have posted it here too, but unfortunately they didn't. I left a question in TG about the webwallet because people can't get their funds if it's not accessible, still waiting for their answer.

Got an answer. You can access the web wallet here: http://37.59.115.219/

Move your coins in the desktop wallet.

Are they encountering any error or it's just not going through?
Sorry I can't confirm about the log in, I was getting "User not found or account disabled" error. It started few months ago and it's not only me who experienced it. I didn't bother since I don't have any funds left there.

I understand the part about showing trust ratings to guests and agree to that. It will be really helpful. However, I do think that it's not only the forum who should protect people from being scammed. People who have intentions in dealing online (probably buying/selling) should protect themselves too.

In your example, the person dealt with jamesclef. Most likely he saw the offer thread here in the forum. Simply searching the name/username of the person in google could have saved him from being scammed. Searching jamesclef or jamesclef bitcointalk shows results about him being a scammer.

Don't trust so easily. Scammers are everywhere and this forum isn't an exception. Do thorough research before dealing.

It's up. I can access it here in my end. Also I've checked it on https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.c-cex.com to confirm.

I think they can. However, the difficulty depends on how the scammers did the work. I mean, if the scammers are smart enough, they already thought the possibility of being traced and have made a way to avoid it from happening beforehand. Most likely it will be a long process if ever.

I suggest you to not join any signals group especially the paid ones. Aside from not knowing who's legit, imo signals are something like a trial and error or luck, it will not be correct consistently. Trading on your own would still be better and another advantage is that you'll learn for every trade you make

Their ANN thread here was posted only last Dec 11, not even 2 months old.

Anyway, CoinPulse users should make their withdrawal request asap. I've read in their telegram group that they are processing all withdrawals manually. If anyone encountered any problem, their telegram admins are active there helping users.

Have you joined? I can view the group when I click the invite link, but after clicking anywhere there it will say it's not accessible. If you can view and chat without any problem then most likely they removed me. I didn't know that sharing that error would cause that. Thanks btw

It's unfortunate that you did the KYC and fail. Didn't you hear any word from them as to why you didn't pass?

I experienced one bounty before that require a KYC when the bounty ended. It's a different scenario, but the feeling is somehow the same. I find it so unfair to the participants who worked for it and trapped in the end because of the required KYC process. I know many bounties require KYC now, at least they should announce it upon opening the bounty and agree to you that it should be done by the participants upon registration. That would be fair for both.

Anyway, because it's online and we don't really know the people and organization, (for me) it would be better to just avoid bounties that require KYC.

Sharing EIDOO's official blog post too about the hybrid exchange: https://blog.eidoo.io/eidoo-the-hybrid-exchange-app/

It was so nice to know that they will not require KYC. I have updated my android app, but unfortunately I wasn't able to open and check the update due to an error:



I shared the image on Eidoo Official Worldwide Chat (telegram group) with a caption of "Eidoo android app error", just in case someone else also encountered the same or if there's a solution maybe. However, after few minutes, the Telegram group wasn't accessible anymore. Can anyone confirm if I was blocked or something?

Here's the Telegram group invite link: https://t.me/joinchat/F4ox3EO_ubynqlzakd6lKw

The question is, how large is that? It's okay NOT to mention the amount here, just keep it in yourself and think. If it's really a huge amount, I suggest you NOT to exchange it at once. Most problems occur when you transact a large amount of cypto in exchanges and KYC is most commonly demanded as a solution.

They suggested Changelly and Changenow above, you might want to read this first: ChangeNow.io (Evercode Lab) - Scam. Illegally holding of 100 BCH (11 bitcoins).

Having several small transactions would be safer. Doesn't mean there's no chance of being scammed, but a lesser possibility and if happened they didn't get all your coins.

If reloading the page doesn't help, I think you should check back after some time, later or tomorrow. I checked and it's still accessible in my end, though was not as smooth as before, it just took a minute to load completely.

Selling Merit is not allowed, if it is, then the system will be useless. Those who are caught buying/selling will probably neg tagged.

You should read in this topic "FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit". It's a good read and you can get straightforward answers there.
