thanks

I have spent quite some time to improve Google, bing and duckduckgo SEO.
I wasn't able to make a good job on Yandex, I always had problems with their login (their emails never arrive so I am never able to login there).

Better rates are good until your funds are taken hostage waiting for endless kyc.

There are dozens, maybe hundreds of scam accusations around the about big and known services like fixed float or Changelly,  which offer good rates but make shotgun kyc all the time.

The slightly higher rate of privacy focused services pays off when you want privacy

It doesn't really matter which specific competitor was chosen. Many swapping services offer better rates for clients than b1exch.

If b1exch deliberately keeps its fees higher than the market average, it clearly indicates that they rely on a different competitive advantage. They target clients who cannot guarantee the cleanliness of their assets and need a service that doesn't perform AML checks. And so, one of these clients - literally b1exch's target audience - came to their website, but the AML checker featured on the site turned this client from someone who was unsure about the cleanliness of their assets into someone who gained that certainty. In other words, b1exch itself helped the client stop being part of its target audience.

Now, for him to return, a platform like FixedFloat would need to seize his tokens, convincing him that using b1exch is safer.

I don't know why your friend decided to use another service, but I believe that having an AML checker does work in b1exch's favor.
If I use b1exch's AML checker and it tells me the funds are clean, I will surely prefer to use b1exch itself rather than using a different service that might apply different AML criteria.


The message says it's temporarily unavailable. So, I hope it starts working again soon.

Actually, there is a filter in this image, only the  2 new tools (verify pgp and bitcoin message) are showing. Those links were not listed in google yet (i didn't indexed those pages in google, but they were automatically indexed by bing and ddg).

Most of my traffic is direct link, and the second is google. Bitcointalk is 5th place.

I have noticed a decent organic traffic from these new tools. Since creation in August 30th, it already ranks up pretty well in bing and duckduckgo and  got more than 150 visitors.
thanks for the suggestion @examplens



Looks  like there is a lack of decent bitcoin message verification tools. I have just improved the SEO for those tools to be better seen by google. Let's see if I get more traffic from them in the next weeks/months.

I also made a small improvement on BBcode generation for  forum sharing:

Verified ✅

Verification failed ❌

TODO: Implement  taproot message verification.

Around midday UTC is by far the most popular. 11:00-16:00 UTC. Around 3x per hour compared to early morning or middle of the night UTC.

The recent case is of ShipMonk. Trezor was using it for shipments, and the last breach reported data of 13,689 people. Everyone praised Trezor and ShipMonk because there was an agreement between them to delete data after 90 days, but now things have changed completely. The same breach has now been reported, and more than 80k people have been affected by this breach, and the data that ShipMonk was never supposed to keep was stored anyway by violating the rules and is now in the hands of hackers.

It is not an exchange, but still, it is relatable. We can't trust any platform these days, that's for sure. Therefore, we have to cover our tracks if it's that important to you. As safar1980 above said, XMR can be a better choice for you.

Some people are simply convinced that nothing bad will ever happen to them based on what they read online. How do people gain experience? Some read, that is, they learn theoretically, while others try everything out for themselves and get "bumps" on his head, which they later call "experience."



The website is quite new; it's clear that a group of scammers is working here, using templates and looking for just such naive people who are interested in "favorable" courses. That's exactly what these people fall for. It would be interesting to know where you, kight9, searched on which monitoring site to find these unscrupulous people. Bestchange doesn't know about Torwex.🤔

Not everyone is as knowledgeable as you are. I have been using exchange platforms for many years, and I have never experienced anything like this before. I always assumed that if a service is listed on an exchange monitoring platform, it has been verified.

However, from now on, I will only use services that I have used before and know to be reliable.

Even if they wrote " Give us your money, we'll definitely scam you", some people will still submit their money. The best thing is not to let such services even have an Ann thread, if they do, in one way or the other, they'll still have victims.

We invite you to take part

It's nice to do a fun side-project sometimes not just serious numbers and stuff

---

Good thing you mention it. The case was solved in that the user was fully compensated and informed us he is satisfied with the resolution of that case. It was solved thanks to all of you who encouraged us to get involved which in turn resulted in great pressure from us towards GS.

I will encourage them to come forth and explain things in more detail.

Your reply did not changed my point of view.
Once again, I did not promote my service anywhere. It is one dev letting the other dev checking their work and expecting some comments. Spam is something else.
yes, I took it personally because I think you were rude. If you cannot appreciate others work, just ignore them. There is no reason telling peoples efforts are doomed to failure right from the start. What you call as failure is my success. You should do something better and let everyone see how you do it, and why your work is better than someone else. Moreover, this is not off-topic. I am still discussing about the tool built by bitmover and I. I appreciate he checked my tools.

What service and promotion are you talking about?
Take a good look at my post, please. I posted about my tool on July 19, not just two days ago. I’m not sure why you’re being so aggressive about it. My website does not display any ads. I have a few tools on my website, and they are for people to learn more about Bitcoin. I am not making any money from it. I would actually appreciate it if someone created another website similar to mine for the Bitcoin community. I didn’t see this coming, to be honest. I don’t understand why the hate. But bitmover commented in my thread and made some good suggestions to improve one of my tools, which I implemented in a day, and he said he liked it.

Blocking the transaction or funds is I think the first thing they can do, if they found something suspicious on the transaction happened. Also I think this is how they can avoid experiencing the cases what Kucoin coin get and avoid being penalized for that illegal money transmission.

But on other side, they cannot always tell the exact reason on why they made such actions, since it might just give a tip for those frauds or bad actors what to do to avoid detection. I also think that this is been forbidden by AML laws.

That's why sometimes I understand people telling that, it seems they are been left in the dark even if the exchange are just trying to be compliant with the law.

Yes, it can have up to 3 categories.

Quote from: Z-tight
Is there a particular reason why it was renamed to 'Fast and White'?

Just clarity — "White" makes it obvious to newcomers that the coins are fully exchange-sourced, not routed through anything else. "Fast" alone didn't communicate that on its own.

Tried pulling that one up but couldn't get it to load on our end right now — could you paste the relevant part directly here? Want to give you a proper answer rather than another guess.

I took a look at the rates.xml endpoint... I think details about what those numbers mean would be good. I got a bit confused

Quote from: examplens
I assume that <in>, <out>, and <amount> are random numbers, while <minamount> and <maxamount> express the actual minimum and maximum amounts

Quote from: bitmover
I opened this file a few moments ago and there were no xml tags, just the data. Maybe some server error?

Confirmed — that was a real server-side glitch, tags were intermittently dropping from the output. examplens' read on the fields was correct: <in>/<out>/<amount> reflect a sample exchange for reference, <minamount>/<maxamount> are the live limits for that pair. Should be consistently tagged now; let us know if it drops again.

That is quite odd

O opened this file a few moments ago and there were no xml tags, just the data. Maybe some server error?

That is pretty good now, and clear information

Also Xhash.cash’s operational infrastructure is being blocked by NEAR Intents. No matter how many new sites they create, I will continue exposing them and closely monitoring this space. I’m doing my best to protect the community as scam services continue to emerge.

OP was right about warning people about this platform from the start and what happened is pretty much what we expected.

Whoever hacked the Walix-Wallet may be connected to xhash or they could be part of the fake exchange networks run by the Russian network. They may also be working with them in exchange for a cut of the stolen money and then launder it through their platform.

I think that what is happening with xhash right now is    a way to disappear and carry out an exit scam especially after Match Systems exposed them and their funds were frozen on NEAR Intents.

I don’t think they will come back and reopen the platform after all of this. Even if they weren’t the ones who hacked the wallet, their involvement in laundering money and moving stolen funds would make it very hard for them to come back.

They might come back with a different name and domain, though, just like they did before with the scam platforms mentioned in the OP.

It's not like a thing which is automatically terrible if anyone joined this forum by any introduction somewhere as this forum has opportunities for making money. It's only their initial motivation and reason to join this forum, while with time they are freely to change themselves. They can learn about the forum, Bitcoin as well as opportunities of making money here.

If they can make good posts, have quality contributions to the community, it's fine if they make money here.

Even theymos wrote that making money is allowed in this forum, just don't abuse it.

The terrible things are many people announced as newbies are not newbies, and they farmed merit, abused the merit system, covered the forum with shitposts.

AFAIK, legally, they MUST block any suspicious transaction and then ask you for more details (transactions history, proof of wealth, etc.) otherwise they would potentially face something like this[1].

The problem though, is that there is no way to confirm whether the claim of the exchange is true or not. AFAIK, telling the user what's wrong could be considered as "tipping them off" which is illegal for the exchanges to do. Whether that's the case on EVERY suspicious transaction, or just specific cases, that I'm not sure of.

Wow! This is the real point. You captured this very well. The mindset of individuals before joining the forum influences the behaviour of that user throughout their stay in the forum. Someone who's idea of the forum is about Fiver and Upwork will care about nothing less than how to work and earn.

Meanwhile there are few exemptions. I was making lengthy posts on facebook and was getting a lot of engagement until a bruh told me that he was going to introduce me to a bitcoin forum where I could eventually start earning with my writing skill rather than waste it on facebook. After I was introduced here, it took just a few weeks to understand the main purpose of the forum. I learnt of Satoshi, Hal, Laszlo the I am hodling guy and other notable events, that was when I understood I was in a global and the most important bitcoin forum.

I put in much efforts to learn. Infact, I became a full member but was reluctant to apply for campaign. Meanwhile there were member campaigns that I ignored in order not to spoil my post history. I was obsessed with learning, posting and getting merits, that I didn't care much about the earning aspect.

All I'm saying is; a genuine character who came for money could switch mind when they really understand what this forum stands for.

Actually I didn’t include my original survey and link in my meta post first but then did it later, just to give other people the full picture (right context), that these were the contents that got it deleted.

I am not expecting or trying (or even thinking of getting) to get people to fill out my survey in this Meta section because I’m only here in this Meta group to understand the reason, that’s it.

When you say a better approach would be to introduce myself and my project first and then publish the survey, do you mean introducing myself in one thread and then making a separate survey post later?

I posted this in the meta section because the moderator (mprep) suggested doing so, particularly since I still had the contents of the original post.

This is an independent exploratory project and this is the approach I currently have access to. If you have a particular method in mind that you think would be more appropriate, I'm genuinely interested in hearing it.

This is true but what about those that have not heard about AML checkers before? Being on this forum helped some people to know. I have not heard about it before until I came to this forum.

What if the money is small? Like $50. Also if the exchange is not operating in the person country, that is another issue.

It is not funny at all when some people coin are seized, some are given back but it may take weeks which is inconvenient.

Nisam mislio da si ti jedan od krivaca što su isplate bile smanjene. Očito sam krivo shvatio tvoj post jer sam mislio da si upao u kampanju nakon što su se isplate smanjile i da je nakon toga kampanja završila.


To samo dodatno naglašava da kriptovalute uvijek treba čuvati u walletu kojem samo ti znaš privatni ključ. Koliko god neki projekt tvrdio da ne čuva privatne ključeve, ako nisi sam generirao privatni ključ na nekom offline računalu, ne možeš wallet smatrati sigurnim.

Nije prokletstvo prešlo na mene i nisam ja ubio CM kampanju. Ja sam primljen u nju ubrzo nakon što su isplate ograničene na $300 tjedno. Neki drugi su krivi što su se te isplate značajno smanjile. examplens je to već pomenuo. Ali nakon što sam primljen u kampanju dugo sam bio sa ChipMixerom, sve dok mikser nije jednog dana zatvoren i nakon što su im zapljenili sve što su mogli.

Nije ni CM bio bez svojih grešaka. ispostavilo se da su čuvali privatne ključeve mnogih čipova koje korisnici nisu na vrijeme sweep-ali i poslali na druge adrese koje CM ne kontroliše. To je postao dio zapljene. Bilo je žalbi korisnika foruma da su izgubili BTC kojeg nisu na vrijeme sklonili sa CM-a.
