Thank you for your message, unfortunately currently it will continue with Stake
Signature campaign might be less likely, but there will be some giveaways!


Thanks! Yes, we launched with 0.3% and after a while it was announced on the website it would go up to 1.2% on 6 March
0.3% was a great way to reach more users, but it wasn't sustainable in the long run because of the constant need of liquidity and rains sent
I think it's still pretty good, compared to other instant swap services

Also thanks for reminding me about the image, I have updated it now!

We have reached +$250k volume, +5k exchanges and +700 users in ~4 months. Shoutout to each and every one of you who chose poorbot!
Tonight, poorbot rained +$2k on EN, TR, PT, FR chats!

Again, thanks to everyone who used poorbot to exchange their coins, and best of luck to you all!

Has been already resolved, sorry, new version is better, shouldn't have errors like that anymore.

They have regulations and requires more KYC and stuff, so better stick to crypto only

Hi, sorry for late response, I was away so I couldn't check the bitcointalk thread, however support email & bot maintenance was not interrupted. Sometimes Stake will fail to send the tip, so exchange gets stuck.
All errored exchanges are usually fixed in a few minutes, or few hours. Your exchange was unfortunately delayed a bit, ~6-7 hours.
This issue with bot will be fixed though, sorry about the inconvenience!

Also for future reference, if you're having issues with the exchanges, better send a support email, it's checked more frequently than this thread!

Thanks for your interest



Hi, contact address is at the footer so maybe it's not easily seen, it will be added to a place with better visibility. Thanks for your attention!

Since about 1 month, poorbot has reached 1k+ exchanges and 190+ users, with a total of $36k+ volume!
Thanks everyone for your interest in poorbot, and best of luck!

Thanks for your suggestions! Spamming loses the spammer money and time, and in case such thing is detected it's possible to force our outgoing tips to be hidden for that user, or prevent them from exchanging and refund the coins few hours later. If they still continue abusing, it's possible to hold the coins and show them an alert and that they should contact support to get a refund, and let them know further tips would not be refunded or exchanged, etc.
These are solutions from our end, it's also possible that Stake chat mods would pick up on this tip spamming and restrict their tipping ability. Since Stake's aware of the bot it shouldn't cause issues for the bot account.

Thanks for your detailed review!

Bot checks for incoming tips every 30 seconds (in order not to spam Stake's API), but I agree the error message should be better, will fix that!
Minimum amount is different for each coin so even if you can send, say $0.20, bot might not be able to send the converted amount back in another currency, that's why I set it at $0.50 to make sure, but I'll work on that as well, and add more currencies!

Thanks for your interest, as stated previously, they are aware of the bot and what it does. In the absolute worst case though, since bot doesn't keep user funds for a long time, users wouldn't be affected (even if they did, they would be compensated by me), and bot would probably be shut down.

Hi, tipping feature on Stake currently is not subject to any KYC procedures as far as I know. Deposits and withdrawals could be though, when deemed necessary by Stake.


Regarding review campaign, we're currently awaiting for a few members to complete their reviews. I'm guessing they will post it here when done!


poorbot*.io is not a gambling platform, you got it all wrong. Better read the post again.

Please see above messages, this question has been asked & answered multiple times:

---

Thanks a lot for your interest!

Yeah, I wanted to still keep it a bit high, but usually exchanged amounts are smaller than that. Above that it makes much more sense to use a "real" exchange
Yes, it receives tips, and sends back in another currency. When balances reach or drop to a certain amount, I deposit or withdraw, keep it balanced.

I meant the exchange fee, which is 0.3% right now. Gotta make some bread


My personal account on Stake has username starting with "poor...", so I kinda used that, and thought it'd catch some attention & be funny!

Hi, thanks for your interest, bonuses are given based on their KYC processes and own considerations, and there is no limitation to tip other users or withdraw the bonus immediately. So using the bot wouldn't give users any advantage for abusing bonuses.
Bot always sends the tips back to sender, minus fees if exchanged, or the same amount & currency if it wasn't exchanged for 2 hours. And Stake is aware of the bot, so it should be fine.
I personally play on Stake as well with my personal account, and I've made it clear to Stake the bot will not claim any bonuses, has all promotion and rain etc. features turned off.



Thanks for your comment, you've explained it really good. Yep, if they decide to add a swap/exchange feature themselves, well, goodbye Poorbot

Hi, that would be some extra work for users, but it might be possible to add that option, along with no registration exchange. However as I explained this is a very rare case and shouldn't cause issues. Thanks for your suggestions!


Thanks for your comments! Unfortunately I'm thinking to stick with Stake for now.


I think this is just getting overcomplicated just because that info message was put there.
Someone who sees your tip to Poorbot can do that thing we're talking about (even though they'd gain nothing and just be a nuisance). Private tip to Poorbot completely eliminates that "issue".
The option in the form is for Poorbot's tip to you, and that is completely fine. Some people like to make it publicly shown and some not.

With Dinabot for example, you need to create an account, and then verify it's yours by tipping it a random amount. It's extra work. Poorbot requires no registration.



Hi, thanks for your concerns, but it doesn't break the rules. This works by tipping feature, in order for an user to have a usable balance on Stake, they must complete their KYC process anyways, and exchanges are sent back to the same user, so there's no concern about that.
Regarding the Fair Use part, I've already been in contact with relevant people from Stake and they are aware of the bot already. Of course they cannot vouch for it, or "approve" it officially, for obvious reasons. As long as the bot works as expected, they have said there should be no issues. The relevant processes has been completed on the bot account also.

Thanks for your interest! Unfortunately I'm currently not thinking about adding other sites :/


Thanks for your comment, unfortunately at the moment I'm thinking about continuing with Stake only

Since you will send the bot a tip from Stake, there are no fees on that, and for actual exchange bot uses its own liquidity.
Given that it's used mostly for small amounts, handling that is not much of an issue

Not from Eddie himself, but yes, of course we've arranged it and bot is using API. Otherwise it'd be pretty hard to manage
Thanks for your comments!

For sure, you can see the above message, in addition to that:
This is not really useful for deposits as you've explained, and I think you got it a bit wrong. This bot doesn't do external transfers, it works with tipping feature on Stake.
Still though, if you want to play in another currency for whatever reason, our fees are better (and faster) than popular non-registration/instant exchanges!

It's useful for balances already in your account. On Stake, Bitcoin withdrawals have $4.11 fee at the moment (and they take way longer), while Litecoin only has $0.02.
It can also be useful when the withdraw destination does not support the currency you have. Or, when you have multiple currencies (from challenges, promotions, rakeback, rains etc.) and you want to combine them, either to play or withdraw.
For gambling part, some games have different minimum bet amounts as well. Going even further, some players believe you have "different luck" with other currencies on some games!

While $10-20 fee is relatively reasonable for a $5,000 balance, when you have smaller balances, say under $100, or need a quick transfer, using the bot can be better.
With higher amounts, using an exchange is for sure a better option.

Thanks for your interest!



Just saw your reply, yes, exactly!


I thought this kind of internal exchange/swap service was a more known thing. I've edited the main post to include a brief summary on what it does. Thanks again!

Hi, it's used in the well known gambling platform, Stake. Say you have a bit of bitcoin balance, $30. Since Bitcoin fees are high, and minimum deposit on exchanges etc might be higher, you can send $30 BTC to this bot, and get ~$29.9 LTC to make cheaper and more convenient transfers.

It's recently launched, so thread is a bit plain I agree, it will be improved!
And yes, website is really basic. As I said above, I like to keep it simple and easy. It has only one job, take a currency, send back another currency. Maybe design could be improved, but generally it's most likely going to stay like that. No need to bother with lots of pages, popups, confirmations for a thing that can be done in a single form!
But for sure it will be cleaned up, and a how-to guide with images / videos will be added.

Thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions!

Hello, there's no registration, and it would probably not be possible. This service works via Stake's tipping feature, it receives a "tip" from user, and promises to send back that amount (minus fees), in the currency of user's choice via tips again. It's nothing official.
And the limits are low, since this is mostly useful for exchanging "dust" amounts. If you have $5,000 to exchange obviously this is not the best choice!
Regarding legitness, it takes a long time to build trust and only one bad transaction to lose it. And again since this service is meant for small amounts, it wouldn't make sense to be malicious!

Thanks for your comments!
