Maybe you have a point. The fact that they aren't following this thread and chiming in after a couple days is a bit odd in itself.

Can anyone recommend a forex broker that offers BTC deposits, supports MT4 and has relatively lax ID reqs?

Just to be clear, I have had no problem with evolve.markets yet, but we all know how quickly these things can go bad.

Thanks Omega for your input.

Any suggestions on questions I should ask them to help validate their authenticity?

I have a number of small accounts running with them (sub-accounts are a breeze to setup), and I can deduce via the order numbers that I am getting assigned that their user base is quite small at this time.

I've been looking into evolve.markets. On the surface they seem like a legit place to trade forex (and CFDs) with an account based on BTC. But they are very new, and I see very little discussion about them here (or elsewhere).

This makes me wonder.. is it foolish to open an account there of any substantial size? What are the chances of them just disappearing one day with all their customers' deposits? Just trying to avoid being a sucker here.... thanks for your thoughts.

People are fooled because they come up high in search rankings I believe. Also, the website itself looks professional.

They are very tricky.. they let small amounts go through to gain your confidence. Then once you are lured in and send a larger amount they rob you.

I have emailed them several times with no response. The phone number they list for support is constantly busy.

My coins still have not been transferred (and are still sitting in their deposit address). It's safe to say now that bitcoin-mix is a scam without reservation.

I would love for justice to be served in this case. I don't care about recovering my money so much, but it would be nice if we could somehow stop these people from scamming others. If anyone is interested please contact me. I'd definitely to willing to invest $$$ into shutting down these thieves.

Yes, makes sense.

I just looked over my previous mixes that were successful (at bitcoin-mix). The deposit addresses (at the mixer) are still holding the coins. There has been no output yet from any of them.

Right. They must have worked some SEO magic to get that high in the rankings, given all the reputable mixers that should have been placed higher in the results.

But anyway, is there some way to tell if they have run off with my coins yet via the blockchain?

website: duckduckgo   (search with bitcoin mix or mixer)

Yes, I am a %@#!$* idiot.

When I did a search for bitcoin mixers these clowns came up in the top 5, so I just assumed they were reputable. Not sure how they managed that search result.

I did several small transactions with them without issue. In fact, for each one they added on 3% or so (which was not advertised or expected). I guess this should have raised the red flag...

I wanted to ask if someone could tell me what the technical status of the transaction is... on btc.blockr.io the hash shows my ultimate deposit address (ie, what bitcoin-mix was supposed to mix and forward to), but all the amounts are 0 BTC and there are zero transactions listed.  In terms of the transaction into the mixer, that has 20+ confirmations and is complete.

I'm not a blockchain expert. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

btw- I did email them over 12h ago with no response. Also, the phone number listed on their site is always busy..
