The future is bright with DigiByte.
We know you cheeky bastar.d Richard Lanoszka....Or should I call you the MunneCoin scammers or Devplus or Mchrono?  You choose?
Now, you made a new project with MunneCoin's collected ICO bitcoins? You were supposed to develop Munne with those ICO BTCs? Scammers...

Let us set the record straight:
We are a genuine service and already had a lot of orders which were all successfully delivered.

The ToS were a bit unfortunate. All4btc.com copied their terms of service from freenetlaw.com and we have in fact a very similar business model, so we thought we could make our lives easier and adapt the ToS. However, a wrong version of the modified ToS was uploaded to our website and the person uploading it didn't properly check the document.

Not enabling SSL was due to technical reasons, and will be solved very soon. We were not able to implement our certificates without error messages, since we host multiple projects on this server and RIPE no longer allocates IP's for individual SSL allotment. SNI was not possible due to Windows IIS7 not supporting it and with an UCC certificate we had other issues.

The rest of the points we have already solved or are in the process to do so. We use a domain anonymization and the person who posted the critique on whois did not recognize it.

However we keep wondering why people think this is a scam. Shadiness is actually not a very good indicator when looking for a scam with this kind of business model, since when operating this as a scam one would have no problems with false positives. (Contrary to Nigerian scammer model: The mails you get from African Royalty offering millions for nothing are purposely written sketchy and not because the scammers are stupid. They need to do so, in order to filter out false positives. http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/167719/whyfromnigeria.pdf ) Also such operation would not be very profitable when comparing it to the effort that has to be invested, since mean order sizes are small and peoples propensity to post missing orders to cryptocurrency forums relatively high.

Be careful.

I just posted this on /r/QuarkCoin

Some red flags to be worried about:

* Contact phone number has a Chennai, India country code.
* No mailing address for the company.
* No SSL on order form.
* Generic looking terms of service that reads like it's just taken off another website.
* Terms of service doesn't specify which country/jurisdiction.
* Company does not list principals.
* whois information on bongocoins.com http://whois.net/whois/bongocoin.com shows that it's registered to a Richard Lanoszka.  Google search on the name produces a Ripoff Report http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Lg-Software-Innovations/internet/Lg-Software-Innovations-Will-not-communicate-if-dissatisfied-Internet-Internet-318012 for a person with the same name.  Another search result seems to indicate that this guy is also a domain squatter http://domains.adrforum.com/domains/decisions/1242244.htm.


You guys have been warned.  Don't get goxxed by this guy.
