There is a user going by 'bittrex' that is signing off their message with "Bittrex Team" that is completely unrelated to our exchange. Please be weary whenever people make contact with you over forum boards.
For those who are interested, the only bittrex members in the forums bittrex-bill, bittrex-rami, and myself. You can always contact us via email @bittrex.com.
This doesn't only go for us... please be careful with anyone contacting you and verify.

No, I will not disclose my real name on the Internet. The very simple reason I’m anonymous is so that I can talk freely about a free web. One mistake people often make is having the faulty assumption that knowing my real name or my association with a respected person, group or organization might get them to trust me more. In fact, I have no authority here. Elastic Project is a loosely associated group of developers which constantly changes over time. If you prefer projects with a more centralized structure, then please move on. Specifically, I kindly ask you to refrain from any messages that try to convince me of the contrary. My time is too valuable to be wasted with the same discussion again and again.

You are absolutely correct. I have just sent a ticket to Poloniex to ask for their clarification.

I have just got a clarification from Poloniex (real one) that those Poloniex and Poloniex-team in Bitcointalk are fake. They were created on 21 March 2014 and 22 March 2014. Almost at the same of the fake "Bittrex" created by HongKongCoin dev team. Here is the reply from Poloniex ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUuEo00o.png&t=665&c=dhNiV6U8nqEIPw)

I replied to the 'fake account' in the thread because I assume it was someone from Bittrex. HKC is listed on Bittrex and the user's name was 'Bittrex.' I didn't take any time to investigate the user's origin - because why would I? I made one or two casual and polite replies because I thought they were updating the thread. Replying to an account does not make you that person. Besides, I don't see what possible advantage this fake account could have given anyone and I wouldn't waste one second of my time on childish crap like this. You need to grow up and get on with your own life.

Well done for going out of your way to warn people about this, most exchanges would have just ignored it unless they received direct complaints.

Apparently I made the list, although I've said the coin probably serves no purpose right now, never actually recommended the coin to anyone, and think most nation coins are silly. You have also repeatedly said I was Chinese (even though I'm not). You'll do best if you just stick with sane posts. I agreed with you last night when you found the Bittrex thing. I don't agree that means we know who is using the fake account, but good catch finding it.

Your contributions and enthusiasm in HKC ANN thread seems contradict to what you said here. The following is what you have said in HKC ANN thread: Any idea with this coin will be listed on coinmarketcap?
BTW, can you think of any other places you would like to see this coin listed? Some people are still sleeping on HKC and they need to be aware it's out there. Poloniex would seem like the next logical step for the coin. It's still a small exchange, but not as small as Bittrex. A lot of nation coins seem to 'graduate' to there before then moving to larger exchanges.

There is a reason for them to make some fake Poloniex accounts in BTT.

If that is enthusiasm to you, I guess you have no emotions. I was stating where a coin logically would go to after Bittrex. And as I have stated in several threads here, I find nation coins sort of silly, unless it has an infrastructure behind it. The main reason I even posted in that thread was because I found their faucet idea interesting... and then because you went into nutty troll mode.
