For this, we look into the user agreement/contract which details what is covered, what is not and up to which amount. Depending on one's situation, it's possible to not assume any loss e.g. when a bank files for bankruptcy and your deposit does not exceed the max insured coverage (from where i live).

In binance? there are only tweets that says "your funds are safu" in case of hack and few articles.... which isn't surprising! they are merely relying on their own set money pool which will be shared by everyone. In the worst case scenario, it wouldn't be surprising to only get bits of your total cryto out of it, hence saying funds are insured seems wrong and sends the wrong message. plus this is all supposing that their safu jar remains untouched and CZ keeping his word-- to use them all for their users.

I agree with the lesser evil point but I would never think I'm insured just because the exchange has set aside some funds that they also control.

Interestingly, i found OP inserting his signal group in a number of threads so you might be onto something 

Note: this is not everything, there are more.

I'd say try to see if the thread starter starts promoting in the process the next time you one again otherwise, it could just be beginners being beginners and asking one the FAQs.

No word from any of their social handles (fb, twitter, bitcointalk) + weird downgrade to .net... It looks like a phishing website honestly, unless you have a proof to back your claim.

A large number of these "victims" were probably straight up trying to steal someone else's funds but did not know an uno reverse card was waiting for them lol. Can't say they have my sympathy.


Because the gas/miner/network fee in this case is ETH.

As explained by @/Hispo, there would be no ETH available in the address, hence the victims would send some from their own wallet. Before they can attempt to move the immovable USDTs, the perp has already broadcasted the ETHs to be sent out with a high gas fee.

or drop their profile in ninjastic.space which lets you filter user posts by board, see: https://ninjastic.space/user/id/2704646

But whatever the outcome of their campaigns, you have to check that for yourself. I don't think anyone keeps track of it.

It's not the easiest to locate either. The contact form is within their FAQ page and you need to be logged in for it to show up.

In general, using an obscure exchange + buying their coin that's only trading in their exchange are more likely to land you tears rather than profits.

Only thing you can do now is to go around their socials and see if they care. You can create a scam accusation about them here, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0

Past incidents where funds were reimbursed should not be taken as a means of insurance. The reason they were fine is because it was only a small-scale loss and there is no guarantee that the SAFU jar will be able to cover every losses if a large scale hack happens.

When it comes to centralized exchanges, the best you can do are:

1. withdraw your funds if you're not actively trading.
2. minimize how much you put in to relatively small exchanges. IMO they have less chances of properly investing in cybersecurity and being able to hold out during tough times like bear market.
3. keep yourself updated on what's going on with the exchange/s you use, sometimes there are signs you need to get out.
4. if you can, avoid them or limit your usage.

Creating a new thread instead of addressing what was pointed out in your previous thread is just digging an even deeper hole for yourself. Thanks for confirming that you have nothing to counter.

But if we're paying $30 per month, then it's not actually a zero trading fee, no?  This also means it's not for people who don't trade much, they could be paying $30 for a few dollar worth of trade fees. As you can guess, they earn from their spread as well which I'm guessing would still be present.

I don't think they have a market order shortcut as well... if you wanna do that, just place a buy order higher than the current market price. Say market price is $1, place it at $1.5. Don't worry, you won't be buying at a higher price because the better order will be matched for you which is at the current market price.

Kucoin actually doesn't support USA which is why you won't be able to verify your account. People from unsupported countries are just taking advantage of the no-mandatory KYC policy. For leverage, last time i check they have a maximum of x5 for unverified accounts.

If you go to r/kucoin and search for similar situations, you'll find mix responses. Some have smooth experience and some have been asked to KYC...  What I'm trying to say is, you should be cautious with them because technically they aren't allowed to operate in the USA.

Any proof of authenticity for this email? I dropped it in their handles authenticator and it returned:


I did "support@huobigroup.com" as well just to make sure email addresses are accepted

Was their username highlighted in their reply? if not, then it isn't from the channel account.

But even if the reply is actually from the channel account, it doesn't mean it should be trusted as hacking youtube accounts to conduct scams are pretty rampant and there are channels who are already malicious from the very start. Best to not entertain any strangers coming to you to talk about money, it is most of the time a scam attempt. You know what they say, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

As a last resort, you can try to come up with a little story to make them feel a reinvestment is possible when funds are released, who knows maybe they're dumb enough to bite lol.

I agree. With such short deadline, they should at least post in every social channels they have otherwise it limits the news from spreading.

Although tedious, there's apparently a way to get your funds out in case you miss their given deadline. Let's just hope there will be no additional/hidden fee aside from the network fees.

Take a look at their recent trades and orderbook. The exchange is pretty new in the game and almost no one has heard of it, yet they are making a lot of trades... it doesn't make sense.

A closer look will tell you the same numbers are being repeated

I wonder if the update your app prompt is a thing everyone gets when their app becomes outdated? it could be that op's problem solved on its own and the "update your app" prompt was a mere coincidence.

So you sent the payment to address 34rJytHdpdeAfjXbhTVrSgTzskL13JK8xP?

Because it belongs to kraken.com exchange, see:

https://oxt.me/address/34rJytHdpdeAfjXbhTVrSgTzskL13JK8xP
https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/34rJytHdpdeAfjXbhTVrSgTzskL13JK8xP

Try to get in touch with them and see what they may be able to do for you. If they decide to help, you will most likely need to involve the authorities.

I find it hard to buy that it was an honest mistake. In their article, blender.io was repeated many times but they still managed to give a phishing link...


Note: I forgot i was in the wayback machine when i did the snapshot but you get it.





Notice that it's blendAr instead of blendEr? from what it looks like, the article is just a ploy to disguise phishing links.


I wouldn't be surprised, the way her picture was awkwardly cropped reminds me of face generators, for instance: https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/
