You could try to add a kind of watermark to your KYC images.
It doesn't need to be a digital one. But a simple piece of paper with a text along the lines "This is for KYC for mixcoins" and the current date.
You just need to make sure that one can not simply remove/cut that without it being noticeable e.g. small piece of paper across your ID.
That is a good idea! Thanks! |

I will only have lost a few hundred dollars, the main "Loss" is that I thought I had more BTC coin there than I may actually have access to.
Your experience of using their platform is not so bad and you can go through their KYC process to get your fund. I wish you will successfully get your invested fund from them and start to use trusted & popular exchanges from next time. When its a matter of investment, trading or anything like that relates with money i always prefer to go for established platforms rather than new one. I appreciate your reply! It does seem like I know more about the exchange than anyone else I've been able to find. Their support group isn't replying to my emails and I'm concerned about identity theft by going through the KYC process. I might end up doing that if I can determine that MixCoins is in legitimate hands, but I want to make sure my docs don't get stolen. |

No, it isn't a coin mixer, it is an exchange.
sorry buddy, but why did you use this bad exchange?? I just heard the name of this exchange.. I immediately go to the site and see this exchange was made late last January. Trading activities don't even happen there, this exchange is really suspicious.. Its been around since at least 2015... |

I appreciate all the replies. Here is some more background information from my experience. The site started out as BitBays.com I put a fraction of a BTC into the exchange. This was probably back in 2015 or 2016. So bitcoin was trading at less than $400. So even though the exchange wasn't super big, I wasn't risking that much and I determined I was willing to risk the $60 or so dollars for the arbitrage fund. They have/had this arbitrage fund which pays about 10% per year. Which sounds incredible and again I was cautious.
I was able to withdraw and deposit just fine. It seemed to me like a small (but legitimate) exchange. I also interacted with their co-founders, who has a youtube channel and LinkedIn profile. So I figured it was an elaborate scam (which seems to me that it is) or it was legitimate.
For several years they did pay out and withdrawals still worked fine. Around September 2017 I got an email that due to regulatory changes in china they were moving physically out of china and the new domain would be mixcoins.com. This was the first big warning sign (to me). I believe it was around this time that they halted withdrawals unless you KYC.
So now between the bitcoin forks and the arbitrage fund and bitcoin apperception I have over $1000 at the exchange. Not bad considering what I put in. Support doesn't reply to me and so it does seem more and more like a scam now. Just wanted to see if anyone else had heard of or worked with BitBays.com or MixCoins.com
I will only have lost a few hundred dollars, the main "Loss" is that I thought I had more BTC coin there than I may actually have access to.

I had a bitbays.com account, at some point (around the China crackdown I think) it switched to mixcoins.com I can't withdraw BTC anymore without KYC. Does anyone know if mixcoins.com is legit and I should risk my docs?
Lol Assuming it's a coin mixer service and they are asking for KYC! Innovative idea at it's top :-P Having such good domain name they could have a better business relation team. No, it isn't a coin mixer, it is an exchange. |

Based on my calculations Ethereum Cloud Mining is not profitable unless you can rent it much more cheaply than I've been able to find anywhere. You're better off just buying ETH on an exchange and holding it.
The Ethereum mining profitability calculators I've seen assume the network hashrate is static, when it's been growing rather rapidly. This means you are sure to OVERESTIMATE the amount of ETH mined.
Right now I wouldn't be willing to pay more than around $14 per MH/s of hashing power for a year. I'm not aware of any cloud miners that offer pricing anywhere close to that.

If someone were to sell bitcoins on localbitcoins.com in exchange for paypal my cash cards, which were then deposited into paypal. Is that legal as long as any taxable gains received in the transaction are paid? If the amount is under $500 per day and $4000 per month would there be any requirement to know the customer or comply with anti-money laundering laws?

I tried to withdraw several BTC yesterday (before 5PM PST) and still have not gotten them yet.
Correction: I have the coins now.

I've got .8 BTC on the line. Looks like I might get screwed.

I have this same problem! I have around 1BTC in bets, and bets that closed on the 31st are not being closed.

Did the auto cash out threshold get lowered recently?
|

Yeah, I did try that, didn't work. I think I actually figured it out though: What did work: sendtoaddress <bitcoinaddress> 0.17291295 paytxfee .0005 Edit: Actually I lied. Yes, the transaction went through, but it used the recommended .002 fee, not what I had specified. |

I'm using bitcoin-qt v0.8.0-beta for Mac. I'm trying to send bitcoin via the debug window. I've tried the following where <bitcoinaddress> is the address I'm sending to and <amount> is the amount. sendtoaddress <bitcoinaddress> <amount> But I get: Error: This transaction requires a transaction fee of at least 0.002 because of its amount, complexity, or use of recently received funds! (code -4)So i type settxfee .002 and try to send again, but I get the same error. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. |

Interesting ideas. I was thinking who would gain but launching an attack? Rival BTC poker sites, governments. More likely governments.

Just curious to see what theories people have regarding who is behind the DDOS attack on SwC.
