why does an exchange need a token/coin? I don't see Coinbase, or Kraken or other exchanges offering coins.

Binance is an exchange an has a coin: https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/binance/

So is 0x: https://0xproject.com/

Since when Anonymous = scammer?, with this logic Satoshi was a scammer too, right?

Satoshi didn't collect money for an ICO.

Of course we have to be extra suspicious if someone wants to take money and is promising a reward for such investment and is anonymous.

I'll be staying away from this one...

I noticed a very strong PR WCX, facebook, twitter, blog ... And the rewards are also very high, maybe it will scam when up to October.
People still believe in it, still PR for it. Profit and higher reward do I can not believe in it.

I've heard about this WCX for a long time but if you make a total look, WCX project is just like an copied of the others projects. Referral you will receive 50 tokens bla bla bla, but look like they're earning traffic not running a real project.
They already stopped referral campaign and even 50 WCX you can`t receive  Angry
Looks like a scam: FREE 50 WCX is just a promotion to worthless project.

There always be scammers, you won't change it (unfortunately) ICOs are always more or less high risk that's why you should always do research about devs/CEO etc sometimes they won't even try to hide their old scams sometimes it's harder but still never give money to new programs without any reaserch.

Is there anyone who is registered for the beta-version?

I registered for the beta and was accepted.  I put in some BTC to trade fee free for testing purposes.  I bought XRP with the BTC as the exchange is only allowing ETH, BTC, and XRP trading.  Since that purchase, every transaction I withdraw my XRP to my wallet, fails.  They disappear.  The 2FA doesn't work properly, I approve via email and had no action.  So I did the stupid thing and approved the email message again, then I see in WCX that I approved 54 XRP twice to go to my wallet, but nothing.  Submitted a case and guess who responded, Pierre (seen his name mentioned in this thread before.  He said he helped to process the withdrawal to my wallet, but never got anything.  I've since tried again to a different wallet opened with coinpayments and never received any of the coins.  I am unsure of what to do at this point.  I have some BTC left in the exchange and 500+XRP sitting there, but I can get nothing out and afraid to keep trying to a zero balance.  Any suggestions? I'm guessing it's a loss and nothing I can do about it.

That sounds awful. Do you know if the problem is technical on their side, or something more serious?

I also think they are shady business. Even if they are legit I don't think they can survive much here because they have a big referral system. Right now people spread ref links like virus everywhere. I wonder how will they come up with all of these referral payments. A quality system don't have to use referral system to do advertisement.

I dont know much about WCX, and I admit I once visited their website and also thought that it was not really professional (judging on the real bad translation to my language they had put up), but I never checked their WP. The question about the Token is simple, as for example Binance is successfully doing, an exchange can have a token to incentivice users to pay trading fees with it. At binance this reduces the fees of your trades by 50%, this is a real good deal. Actually a token for a exchange is actually bringing a real utility for the token, thats something rare. Cant judge about WCX though. Gonna keep an eye on them.

I also thought it's a scam from the begining, just looked from a side where it will go, now latest comments in their twitter say nobody from wcx responds for 10 days already, so everything comes to the expected end.

They have a thread in this forum also. So what is the conclusion? Scam? Legit?
