I think one could argue that this is just scummy behaviour. Bitblender has been online for years, you really think a couple days will make a difference?
He's storing god knows how many user funds on his website, why is everyone so hellbent to give him a pass regarding this?
This just looks to me like he's trying to exit scam and run off with the funds of his customers... under the guise of "paranoia"...?
He gave people a couple days to withdraw, and then brought the servers online
again a day or so later so the laggards could get their coins. For an exit scam, that's
extremely generous.
Sure, if you were well-informed, it was fair.
I just highly doubt that much of their customer base outside of Bitcointalk knew what was happening though. All the people/casual bitcoiners that mixed through darknet markets etc probably didn't even notice it was shutting down until it was too late.
For me it is the same, have sent after the Dreammarket closure my remaining Bitcoins to Bitblender.
There was no ad the URL is closed. So they are still hanging around and hope to get them again.
Bitcoin Blender is shutting down. Please withdraw.
i still have funds on account pls pm me how we can deal to get my funds back !! i was not online the last few Days !!
hi !
i still had funds on account on blender ! iw as on holiday and saw just now ! please help !
Again, it probably wasn't orchestrated to be an exit scam, but that's basically what this mess has resulted in.. Intentional or not, it seems like a lot of users no longer have access to their funds.
